The hotel was tucked away in the Centro but very convenient to sights and all the delightful food and wine in Bologna. The room was efficiently designed and comfortable. Staff was extremely helpful. The rooftop bar was great for sunset drinks and a light meal.

Very kind and accommodating staff! The hotel is charming and very well kept, with a great rooftop deck perfect for aperitivo. My room was terrific - clean, smart, comfortable. The parking is a little bit of a nuisance, as the parkade is not on the hotel property and requires about 5min walk, but this is nothing out of the ordinary in the ZTL, and the staff were extremely helpful for getting me organized with the parkade. I would definitely return to Touring Hotel Bologna.

Our whole stay was very enjoyable at the Hotel Touring. The staff are all very helpful and always want to do their best for you. Reception staff provide good advice. Our buffet breakfasts were included and offered good quality and variety. The main parts of the city are walkable and the more immediate vicinity can meet most needs, with varied and good choices for local restaurants serving regional dishes.

it was a lovely property obviously well taken care of and everything looked newly decorated. The roof top was a nice addition to be able to have a drink before going out. I do think the minimum charge for first drink is a little expensive.

A gem of a hotel

We have stayed in a number of hotels in Bologna and this is by far our favourite. We enjoyed our stay and the service we received so much that we canceled reservations we had at another hotel for later in our trip and booked with the Touring Hotel for our return. The area is an older residential area, not so touristy, but the essential spots in Bologna were all within an easy walk. The view from the rooftop cafe made for a great start to our trip.

The Touring Hotel is conveniently located in the city’s historic district, and is easy to reach by city bus from Bologna Stazione Centrale. Since I am traveling alone, when I learned my room was in a separate building, I asked to be moved to another room in the main hotel. Staff member Marta went to great lengths to accommodate my request, which I anppreciated. Other staff were also exceptionally helpful. The hotel’s buffet breakfast was the best I’ve had so far in Italy. The hotel’s common areas were lovely and the views from their rooftop bar were beautiful. My room, however, was small and austere, but otherwise functional, and had a nice bathroom.
