Hotel Details

Location

Favola sits on a quiet street in central Bologna, a 9-minute walk from Via dell' Indipendenza and within easy reach of Bologna Centrale station.
The location is a strong advantage: quiet enough for restful sleep, yet central enough for walking to major sights like Piazza Maggiore and MAMbo. Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport is 10 km away; an airport shuttle can be arranged for an extra fee. Many restaurants, cafés and shops are within a two-minute walk, making it easy to dine out or grab essentials. The proximity to the train station is especially useful for arriving and departing by rail, and there is no on-site parking, so public transport or walking is recommended.

Accommodation

Rooms are private, air-conditioned, and equipped with kitchenettes, soundproof walls, and private bathrooms with walk-in showers.
Double rooms include a kitchenette with a refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave, a seating area with a flat-screen TV, a washing machine, and a private entrance. Soundproofing and a quiet street setting keep rooms silent despite the central location. Each room has one double bed, and family rooms are available for larger groups. The accommodation is clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with parquet floors and a practical layout well suited to couples or small families. Wheelchair-accessible rooms and allergy-free options are also offered.

Dining

An Italian breakfast is available daily for an additional 6 EUR.
The property provides an Italian-style breakfast each morning at the fixed price of 6 EUR per person. Given the central location, guests also have a wide choice of nearby eateries, including Hostaria La Mascarella, Breaking Toast, and Trattoria La Treccola, all within a 5-minute walk. For self-catering, each room's kitchenette is fully equipped, and a shared kitchen as well as a minimarket on site make it easy to prepare meals or snacks.

Leisure

Rafting is available in the surrounding area, and the property features a shared lounge and TV area.
The surrounding area offers rafting activities for outdoor enthusiasts, making this a possible base for adventure excursions. For on-site leisure, the shared lounge and TV area provides a comfortable space to relax. The property's central location also places it near Bologna's main cultural attractions and green spaces for walking or cycling.

Amenities

Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. Luggage storage and airport shuttle are available for an extra charge.
Services include a paid airport shuttle (both pick-up and drop-off), luggage storage for an additional fee, and a shared lounge/TV area. A minimarket, hairdresser, and barber/beauty shop are on site.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request an early check-in if arriving before 3:00 PM, as management often accommodates this flexibly.

  • 02

    Use luggage storage (available for an extra fee) to explore the city if you arrive before check-in or have a late departure.

  • 03

    Factor in the 6 EUR breakfast charge if you prefer a meal at the property; otherwise, nearby cafés and bakeries are within a short walk.

  • 04

    Arrive by train or public transport, as no on-site parking is available and the property is a short walk from the station.
