Albergo delle Drapperie

Everything about our stay was perfect! Impeccable location, fantastic staff, clean and unique room. It was wonderful to be able to open the window for fresh air and amazing views. We opted for breakfast at the hotel on our departure day and everything was fresh and well maintained. There’s a bookcase on the first floor where guests can take, or leave, books (always a nice touch and we left a great read for the next guest!) All the bustle of the Bologna street vendors was right out the front door. Easy walk to the train station. Will absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Bologna!

Very good location, handy for picking up parmesan cheese prior to the flight home. The reception team are really nice and helpful. The room, a junior suite, was a good size and facing a quiet aspect. It's not the most accessible location, as it is on a pedestrianised street. This does mean that there's less noise and pollution, even though the area is busy. Please note that cars are not allowed onto the nearest cross street during the weekend, so if you leave on a Saturday or Sunday, you'll have to carry your luggage further to get a car to the airport. The hotel also cannot book cars to the airport on the weekend as they cannot enter the cross street. Another consideration is the lack of adequate seating at breakfast. There are only a few tables available and it is not enough for the number of guests. Every morning there were seating issues. There is only one staff person on breakfast duty and they are rushed off their feet. Having one other person helping would make the breakfast service flow better. That said, I'd stay again but will probably try to eat earlier than I otherwise would prefer to.

This is a perfect stay if you are staying in the old precinct, as it's close to everything within walking distance. It's not the fanciest, but it’s great for a 3-star hotel. The rooms are small but charming and clean. The staff are wonderful and always willing to help. The only concern for me was the buffet breakfast, as the restaurant is limited, but you can ask for more. Wifi was fast great restaurants near by.

This hotel is located in the heart of the City Centre. The building is typical of an Italian centro storico, the rooms are clean, the staff are very accommodating, you are in the heart of the city with its hustle and bustle, food and fresh vegetable shops, eateries of local produce all around and close to cultural places and activities. The rooms have high vaulted ceilings and modernised marble clad bathrooms. The only downturn is a flight of stairs from the ground floor to the first floor where the hotel is located. From then on the next floors are served with a lift. I would not recommend for people with impaired mobility or carrying heavy luggage. However for a quick visit to Bologna I would highly recommend as the location is ideal.

We stayed at this little hotel for a 3 day trip in Bologna. This charming and unique hotel is perfectly located in the centre of town so you have easy walking access to cafes, restaurants and shops, Along with the main attractions. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Fast reliable WIFI, breakfast if you desire and Flowers were even put in the room every day! The staff were incredible, so polite and friendly. They even helped us with a dinner reservation. If I come back to Bologna, I know where I’m staying!

Lovely small 3 star hotel in the heart of Bologna. Very warm and helpful staff, it has the quirkiness of an old building. The rooms are compact and clean with air conditioning. Ideally located for exploring on foot. Excellent value.

A lovely refuge from the bustling streets of Bologna. The average outside temperature during our stay was high 30s, but the A/C in our room ensured we had a cool return. |Directly outside the hotel are busy, noisy, crowded streets with sellers of all manner of wonderful food and other items, yet within our room it was very quiet. The room was perfect. Everything worked. The hotel staff were delightful - always a smile and nothing was too much trouble.|The short flight of stairs up to reception was a bit of a pain but after that the lift took care of the rest of the climbing very efficiently - never had to wait too long.|We didn't try the breakfast because we love to eat in the man outdoor cafes, but we heard no complaint from other guests.

Lovely welcome to this eclectic and artistically inspired hotel, location perfect and family run so it was very comfortable . Loved our large Blue room, AC modern and great . I was very tired first day and wanted a cool drink in courtyard , owner brought out a great array of complementary snacks , the cold beer and wee bottle of icy cold Prosecco was very reasonable, so appreciated.

I just spent 4 nights at the Albergo delle Drapperie and it was the perfect hotel for a single tourist in a great location in Bologna. I would highly recommend it. It is just off the Piazza Maggiore down a small side street surrounded by restaurants, bars, and food stores. It is a small hotel with smallish rooms but it is very clean. The best part of the experience was the very helpful and friendly staff both at the front desk and persons attending to breakfast in the mornings. And the location can't be beat.

Wonderful staying experience. Cute, clean and quaint little place with a cute balcony looking down into s alley teeming with market and restaurant and businesses. If we come back to visit Bologna, definitely wound stay here again.

We stayed in room 303, which was not facing the street so it was pretty quiet when the window was shut. Intermittent wi-fi but the desk clerk did try and fix it. Our room was spacious, by European standards but the bathroom had a tub with a handheld shower and no shower curtain, making it impossible to shower. They will do laundry for 10 euro. There is no elevator until the reception desk. This requires climbing 2 flights of stairs. This is not a hotel that the disabled can stay in. Location in Bologna is very good. Probably the biggest selling point of this hotel.

Beautifully renovated hotel smack dab in the heart of Bologna. Warm and friendly staff. Clean, tidy, ample-sized accommodations. Only (minor) complaints were the odd smell in our room similar to what we've experienced in Venezia and Bellagio and the fact that our room on the 3d floor was a bit warmer than we would've liked (and the the thermostat was apparently useless). Despite all that, I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.
