Hotel Il Guercino

Echt een 'boetiekhotel'. Eigenaar met een gevederde houding. Heerlijk excentriek - zou kwalificeren als Engelse les. Eigenzinnig, leuk, maar in wezen een hotel. Vlakbij het centraal station, aan de kant van de luchthaven.

Het hotel ligt vlakbij het treinstation. Ik boekte de eenvoudigste eenpersoonskamer. Deze was erg klein en lag op de bovenste verdieping, maar voor twee nachten was het prima. De kamer was mooi en eenvoudig ingericht. Alleen de vloer was niet helemaal gedweild, verder was alles in orde. De dame bij de receptie was erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De inrichting van het hotel is bijzonder interessant, met van alles, van Boeddhabeelden tot dieren en andere kleurrijke decoraties. De SPA kon alleen gebruikt worden tijdens een vooraf vastgestelde periode, waarschijnlijk tegen extra kosten. Over het algemeen is de accommodatie goed en ik zou het aanbevelen.

Best hotel to stay in Bologna! Hotel staffs are nice and work very efficient. We can store our luggage at the hotel before check-in time and after check-out. Very near to the Bologna train station. Nearby the hotel has a very good gelato called Stefino. Hotel room was fantastic, very clean, has extra pillows. The room also has safety box and mini fridge. The AC works very well and it was great during summer! Surely will stay here again next time!

We stayed here as our main hotel while travelling to other cities, and it was such a great choice. The hotel is really close to the train station, which made everything so convenient for our family. From the outside and entrance, it may not look very special at first, but once you walk inside, the atmosphere feels warm, cosy, and welcoming. The staff were all very kind and friendly, and they made us feel comfortable during our stay. The room was very clean, the bed was soft and comfortable, and the bathroom was excellent especially the shower with strong water pressure, which we really loved after a long day of travelling. The TV was big, and there was also a fridge in the room, which was very useful. Breakfast was not huge, but there was still plenty of choice and enough to enjoy a full meal every morning. Everything about this hotel felt perfect for us. We all really liked this hotel very much, and if possible, I would definitely love to stay here again in the future.

The hotel is in a good location if you want to be close to Bologna central railway station and the airport. The walk to the old town isn’t so far and you pass many nice things along the way. The area is safe and I walked back to the hotel after dark along the main thoroughfare and had no issues. The room was quite small but it’s enough for one person. The staff were friendly and I was able to store my bag. The only issue I had was the lack of air conditioning. The unit was present in the room but it was impossible to turn on due to it being April. Generally it wasn’t bad but the room was particularly stuffy in the morning and evening so it wasn’t so comfortable for sleeping. I understand that it’s April and it’s considered too early to turn on the air conditioning but it’s actually turned on in the lobby for the staff. So by that logic, it should be turned on in the rooms also. After living and traveling in Asia for many years it’s disappointing to see Italian hotels being stingy with money - especially considering the guests have paid money. It’s a shame because besides this I liked the hotel and the staff. I hope the savings made by turning off the air conditioning are worth it.

Excellent location. Less than 10 min walk from Bologna Centrale Via Carracci exit (elevators available), no need to climb stairs. Carefour supermarket is 4 min walk away. Friendly and helpful front desk. Chic decor through out the hotel, room is small but roomy bathroom. Sufficient amenities in the room. Need to pay 2 Euro for one bottle of water in the room fridge. Breakfast is top notch with ample varieties.

Hotel Il Guercino is a very stylish hotel arranged around a beautiful courtyard in a quiet part of the city. My room was modern, clean and comfortable, making it an excellent choice for my one-night stop in Bologna. The location is particularly convenient for the railway station, which is only a short walk away. Piazza Maggiore and the main historic sights are somewhat farther, but once you cross the station, much of the walk into the centre is beneath Bologna’s famous porticoes, which provide welcome shade and help keep the journey comfortable during the summer heat. Overall, this was a pleasant, attractive and well-located hotel, particularly suitable for a short stay or for anyone travelling through Italy by train.

This hotel is in an excellent location quite close to Bologna Centrale station. The rooms are compact and clean and comfortable.
