Bed & Breakfast Centrale

Wonderful place to stay in Bologna. It’s really close to the train station and the city center. I had a large piece of luggage that was hard to drag around the city so being close to the station really made my trip logistics better. I was able to easily take a train to Modena, which again saved me lots of time on logistics. My walk from the station to the b&b was smooth and under 5 mins. The place is very clean, quiet and the shower is great - usually I struggle with the level of heat and pressure but this time it scored. Definitely recommend!

This was a small operation on the third floor of a building very close to the train station, as the name suggests -- why I chose to stay here – and because photos showed the room as a fairly spacious double, with a handy single bed to spread out my stuff. The room faced the street and was rather noisy at times. That wasn’t so bothersome but … although there were “no smoking” signs, the hallway reeked of a sickening cigarette smoke. The listing may have mentioned it, but there was no in-room private bathroom; instead, I was offered a “private” bathroom down the hall, which turned out to be a major hassle. The WIFI was good enough though it wasn't connecting 100% of the time. Other than that, my two-day stay was fine enough. The room came with a comfortable bed and everything I needed, including a refrigerator, and the proprietor was very helpful. I was offered a free coffee and a brioche each morning which, I was told, wasn’t always provided with reservations made through ******* (true or no, I was offered a lot more breakfast elsewhere during my trip across Northern Italy ... while paying less). All in all, given the fairly high price paid, I think I might have found more suitable lodging near Bologna Centrale. I struggled to give this review four stars; reading reviews by other guests got me there.

I recommend to book a room here because it is very clean, modern, comfortable, cosy place. Located near Central train station, city center, near MAMbo museum which worth to visit too. Very good communication with friendly host. Coffee machine inside the room. Very good stay! Thank you Giovanni!

We had a great stay at Bed & Breakfast Centrale. Giovanni was an excellent host who welcomed us warmly (communication prior to our stay was prompt and efficient). The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We had a fridge and a coffee maker which we weren't expecting. The position of the property was very convenient for the train station - a three minute walk from the side entrance of the station. There were lots of places to eat nearby ( and , of course, shops and a supermarket) and we had a great meal at an authentic Italian restaurant recommended by Giovanni. Bed & Breakfast Centrale is quiet and comfortable with a convenient location for exploring the city. We highly recommend a stay here and if we return to Bologna we won't even consider staying anywhere else. Thank you Giovanni.
