Albergo delle Drapperie Hotel in Bologna

Everything about our stay was perfect! Impeccable location, fantastic staff, clean and unique room. It was wonderful to be able to open the window for fresh air and amazing views. We opted for breakfast at the hotel on our departure day and everything was fresh and well maintained. There’s a bookcase on the first floor where guests can take, or leave, books (always a nice touch and we left a great read for the next guest!) All the bustle of the Bologna street vendors was right out the front door. Easy walk to the train station. Will absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Bologna!

The location is truly picture perfect, located in the heart of the Bologna market. The delectable bounty of the city is literally at your fingertips. The room was cozy, comfortable and quiet for our late November visit. The staff are welcoming and helpful with city tips, transportation arrangements and any questions one might have. It is a very pleasant oasis in a very busy city.

We stayed in Bologna for the Davis Cup finals and found l' Albergo delle Drapperie a perfect choice. Centrally located, easy to find and welcoming. It is within a stroll to main attractions, and is right in the middle of a bustling shopping area, yet with no noise in the rooms. The personnel is professional and welcoming and rooms clean and comfortable. I will certainly return to the Albergo when back in Bologna.

Great central location in old city, cosy room, helpful and friendly staff. Street market outside front door and bonus regional food market was lovely surprise.

Very good location, handy for picking up parmesan cheese prior to the flight home. The reception team are really nice and helpful. The room, a junior suite, was a good size and facing a quiet aspect. It's not the most accessible location, as it is on a pedestrianised street. This does mean that there's less noise and pollution, even though the area is busy. Please note that cars are not allowed onto the nearest cross street during the weekend, so if you leave on a Saturday or Sunday, you'll have to carry your luggage further to get a car to the airport. The hotel also cannot book cars to the airport on the weekend as they cannot enter the cross street. Another consideration is the lack of adequate seating at breakfast. There are only a few tables available and it is not enough for the number of guests. Every morning there were seating issues. There is only one staff person on breakfast duty and they are rushed off their feet. Having one other person helping would make the breakfast service flow better. That said, I'd stay again but will probably try to eat earlier than I otherwise would prefer to.

This hotel is located in the heart of the City Centre. The building is typical of an Italian centro storico, the rooms are clean, the staff are very accommodating, you are in the heart of the city with its hustle and bustle, food and fresh vegetable shops, eateries of local produce all around and close to cultural places and activities. The rooms have high vaulted ceilings and modernised marble clad bathrooms. The only downturn is a flight of stairs from the ground floor to the first floor where the hotel is located. From then on the next floors are served with a lift. I would not recommend for people with impaired mobility or carrying heavy luggage. However for a quick visit to Bologna I would highly recommend as the location is ideal.

Excellent location!! Nice staff and room was great. Staying here again when I come back. There is a charge for the light breakfast which was not expected

We stayed at this little hotel for a 3 day trip in Bologna. This charming and unique hotel is perfectly located in the centre of town so you have easy walking access to cafes, restaurants and shops, Along with the main attractions. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Fast reliable WIFI, breakfast if you desire and Flowers were even put in the room every day! The staff were incredible, so polite and friendly. They even helped us with a dinner reservation. If I come back to Bologna, I know where I’m staying!

A lovely refuge from the bustling streets of Bologna. The average outside temperature during our stay was high 30s, but the A/C in our room ensured we had a cool return. Directly outside the hotel are busy, noisy, crowded streets with sellers of all manner of wonderful food and other items, yet within our room it was very quiet. The room was perfect. Everything worked. The hotel staff were delightful - always a smile and nothing was too much trouble. The short flight of stairs up to reception was a bit of a pain but after that the lift took care of the rest of the climbing very efficiently - never had to wait too long. We didn't try the breakfast because we love to eat in the man outdoor cafes, but we heard no complaint from other guests.
