La Finestra Sul Canale

Stayed here recently on a short break to Bologna and it served our needs well for 2 nights. Location is good, close to the centre, many restaurants and also walkable from the train station. We were given a very warm and friendly welcome and provided with useful information about the area. The room was very clean and had good air con, which we appreciated as there was an unexpected heat wave during our stay! The only reason I have not given 5 stars is that I felt it was a bit expensive for what it was (around 140 euros!), but if I could get a better price then I would definitely stay again.

We loved the La Finestra Sul Canale hotel. It's a small, newly remodeled inn that's in a great location. The room and bathroom were great. Comfortable bed (for Europe). Great AC. Blackout blinds. Our host was very friendly and communicative. Overall, we really enjoyed our four-night stay here. The street was a little noisy and sometimes we could hear our upstairs neighbors, but nothing too disruptive. It might be quieter if you get a room facing the canal. My biggest gripe is that hotel doesn't offer breakfast, despite the fact that their advertising really makes it seem like they do (including pictures of pastries, calling themselves a B&B, listing on some sights that breakfast is available for a surcharge.) In fact, what the hotel has, is a deal with several local cafes to offer pastries and coffee at a discount. Not a big deal to go out and find your own--there were lots of options close by. But, as someone who likes to have breakfast in my PJs, I was disappointed to learn that there was no breakfast offering on-site. Still, we'd stay here again if given the chance.

The accommodation is very well located. Comfortable room and very clean

Fabulous room. Very comfortable. Generous provision of biscuits and sweets along with tea/coffee etc. Fridge in the room too. Very friendly, helpful owners. Superb, central location. Everything is nearby. This is a very walkable city. Buses almost certainly not needed when staying here. Only 10 minutes walk from station. The best advice from owners before we stayed was to get a taxi from the airport. We would never have found the hotel otherwise! The entrance is very hidden even if you find the street! Taxi was only 20Euros anyway. Virtually the same as 2 tickets on the Marconi Express to the station. Fantastic value for money. We'd be very happy to stay here again.

A bit hard to find at first, but from then on it was all positive. Room was normal sized, clean and modern. AC did its job. Location is actually really good - close to the touristy areas like the Piazza Maggiore, but not too close, so the restaurants nearby are good and didn't feel like tourist traps. Walkable from the train station, took us about 12 minutes.

I've been going to Bologna for many years, and this is the best place I've stayed in, especially given the value for money. Well located, clean, good rooms, and very friendly staff.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Great location close to train station and city center. Comfortable and spacious room.

Good location, comfortable modern room. The lady who checked us in gave us a map and info of where the sights were and recommended a restaurant. Lockers are available to store baggage after you have checked out. Great little place to stay.

Very nice and modern rooms. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. They even recommend places to visit around the area. Would highly recommend 😊
