HOTEL BLUMEN COLLECTION BY GSA HOTELS, Bologna

The hotel sits on the edge of the old town, under the iconic porticoes that lead directly to the main sights. Piazza Maggiore and the Due Torri are 0.3km away. Bus stops for lines 19, 27, and others are steps from the entrance, giving quick access to the central station and beyond. The Sant'Orsola hospital is 200m on foot. For drivers, the location avoids the ZTL (limited traffic zone) while keeping the centre within easy walking distance. Nearby you'll find supermarkets, pharmacies, the adjacent Bar Blumen Gourmet, and several restaurants on Via Mazzini.

All rooms include free WiFi, a safe, electric kettle, and tea/coffee-making facilities. Single, double, and triple options are available, each with a private bathroom featuring a shower, hairdryer, and complimentary toiletries. Some rooms have a terrace or balcony. Room sizes vary - many are spacious, while some bathrooms are compact. Street-facing rooms can experience traffic noise; rooms away from the road tend to be quieter. Furniture is practical but some units show signs of wear. Daily housekeeping is provided. The property is non-smoking throughout.

Breakfast is a simple continental-style buffet with bread, croissants, cakes, yogurt, fruit, and cold cuts. Gluten-free options are available on request. The coffee is machine-made and considered good by many. There are no hot dishes (e.g., eggs, bacon). For a more substantial meal, the adjacent Bar Blumen Gourmet offers coffee and pastries, and several restaurants are within a short walk on Via Mazzini, including Ristorante Pescheria Mediterraneo (0.5km) and Pizzeria Mazzini (0.3km). A vending machine for snacks and drinks is available on site.

WiFi is free throughout the property. Parking is free but limited to a small number of spaces on a first-come, first-served basis - no reservation possible. The 24-hour reception can assist with taxis, local recommendations, and public transport tickets (for a fee). Luggage storage costs extra and is available before check-in and after check-out. Safety facilities include a safe deposit box in each room, 24-hour security, CCTV, and smoke alarms. Business needs are covered by fax/photocopying (chargeable). A lift serves all floors. The hotel has a minimarket on site and a vending machine for drinks.
