Perfectly located within a couple of minutes walk to the train station, this hotel is a good option for your stay in Bologna. The rooms are well appointed, good wifi, dining options within the hotel and also within a few minutes walk of the hotel. The Piazza Maggiore and the alleys of the old town are within an easy stroll for shopping and tourist activities.

We only had a small issue when we asked to be allowed to stay for a late check out and the morning desk clerk was not informed, she was rude and then when we asked for a hair dryer, the one she provided was the smallest thing ever and it had a gross sticky handle, other than that the room and area are great.

Basic and clean

Good location. The room we got was basic and clean. Not sure how this is considered a 4 star hotel as it didn’t have much amenities or character.

The staff at the Europa Hotel was friendly and accommodating. The exterior of the hotel was not as appealing as the inside. The lobby felt grand. The interior of the hotel was clean and had the old Italian charm. The breakfast was delicious had enough options. It was within walking distance to the City Center and the Central Station which makes it blvwry convenient. I would stay at the Europa Hotel again if I go back to Bologna.

Rooms ere big and clean BUT hallways had a carpet with a smell (something that will make your nose itch) I think they need to replace it. They offered buffet style breakfast like all the hotels BUT this was OK good. They have parking 1/2 a block away and easy to park.

Better than most near Bologna Centrale

This was a last minute booking due to an unexpected change in travel plans. Good location near Bologna Centrale, and a 15 minute walk to the historic district. Super convenient! Room was nice and the property was in good repair. Breakfast spread was also very nice.
