HOTEL PANORAMA BOLOGNA CENTRO, Bologna

The hotel is set in a restricted-traffic area on the top floors of a 1930s apartment block, directly in the historic centre. Piazza Galvani and the Portico del Paviglione shopping district are a 10-minute walk, and the Mercato delle Erbe market is just a few steps away. Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport is 9 km away. A bus stop right outside connects to the train station in about 5 minutes, making car-free exploration easy. A minimarket is opposite the hotel, and a regional restaurant is behind the property - ideal for picking up supplies or a quick meal.

Rooms are spacious for the price, often with high ceilings, period furniture, and some feature garden or city views. A standard shared-bathroom room includes a hand-basin in the room (soap, shampoo and towels provided) with three communal bathrooms and showers nearby - cleaned daily and rarely crowded. Private-bathroom rooms have a shower, bidet, and hairdryer. The family room sleeps up to 5 (one double plus three singles) with air conditioning, fridge, safe, and a private bathroom. Some rooms have a fan rather than air conditioning, and lightweight sleepers may find rooms on the street side noisy. Heating, tea/coffee facilities, and a flat-screen TV are standard. No rooms have a balcony.

No wellness or leisure facilities are available on site. The hotel focuses on budget-friendly city-centre accommodation, and for relaxation, guests are within easy walking distance of Bologna's historic squares, shops, and cultural attractions.

Parking is off-site and costs €9 per day with no reservation possible - the hotel provides a car permission to enter the restricted traffic zone and park free on public streets.
