Art Hotel Commercianti

We stayed in one of the luxury apartments at the end of September and it was a very nice experience. The apartment was located just a short block around the back of the hotel which is literally just steps away from Piazza Maggiore. The apartment was spacious, clean, well appointed and included a TV that lets you access your Netflix account. The breakfast buffet included “to die for” pistachio and hazelnut croissants among other sweet and savory items and beautifully made Macchiatos. The hotel staff made great restaurant recommendations. The only negative was that the mattress and pillows were a bit hard for us. Also, we did drive and use the onsite parking which was great, but getting to the hotel itself is not for the faint of heart driver. Make sure you communicate with the hotel beforehand to get directions and avoid tickets.

Love everything about this hotel. The location is best ever, in the heart of old town, next to Basilica. The room and the staff was lovely, very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was something else, literaly everything you desire, from savoury to sweet things, the display and atmosphere, so nice! Loved it! Beautiful coffee too and the best berries cheesecake I ever had (for breakfast :)). Will definitely stay in this hotel again. Highly recommend!!!! You wont be disappointed. 5 stars 🌟 🤩 . Thank you Art Hotel Commercianti for looking after us so well. Xxx

This hotel is older and slightly dark, but it is in a fantastic location in the very centre of Bologna. Finding it is a little hair raising if you’re driving, some pretty narrow streets to navigate. There’s on site car parking, €25 per day. Our room looked into an service light well which wasn’t ideal and the room was quite small but it was very clean and had everything we needed. The breakfast was very nice and plentiful with lots of choice. I’d recommend this hotel for its ideal location.

Spent a lovely weekend here enjoying Bologna, the rooms are comfy and the location superb for walking out from. What was exceptional were all the hotel staff, one in particular Antonio went to great lengths to assist me when my phone was stolen. My thanks to them all for a wonderful stay.

We really loved this hotel but do not stay here if you are driving. It’s in a FANTASTIC location but was very difficult to locate while driving. However, thankfully when I called the front desk when we were lost the woman who answered the phone stayed on the phone with me giving me minute by minute directions to get there until we arrived. Everything else was EXCELLENT and the entire staff are very nice and very accommodating. The breakfast was really great, too.

Prime location right outside Piazza Maggiore. Despite being in a busy area, the rooms were very well insulated and quiet. The blackout curtains made it easy to sleep in, and the temperature controls worked perfectly. We stayed for five nights in August and found the room spacious, clean, and comfortable. The hotel features beautiful beams and architecture throughout. Breakfast was excellent, and the staff were consistently friendly and helpful. Highly recommend staying here

We stayed with our daughter in an apartment in the annex. The apartment did not have much natural light, but was otherwise generally very nice. However, starting on the second day of our stay we noticed a heavy scent of sulpur in the hallway of the building. It was so bad we thought it might be a hazardous gas leak. We also started noticing insect bites. When we called the front desk we were told it was the smell from the sewer and "nothing to worry about". By the fourth day there were so many flies in the hallway it was impossible to pass through without them landing on us, and impossible to come in or out of the apartment without admitting 25-30 flies into the apartment. After which time we had to madly swat at them. We were told they were in fact mosquitoes and the hotel brought us a spray to use inside the apartment but made no other attempt to control them or move us to a more acceptable location. Overall, quite unhappy with what was advertised as a "luxury" stay.

This has to be one of the best hotels in Bologna. We stayed in one of their apartments and its was absolutely beautiful. High end fixtures, doors, appliances. Comfortable beds, tons of space. every possible amenity. The service is also excellent. Bringing bags to rooms, ordering taxi's and everything in-between. It was exceptional. Lastly, the breakfast buffet is second to none. everything was high quality and prepared perfectly.

Embarking on our trip to Bologna, we had a clear vision in mind: a remarkable stay within the city walls, steeped in history, and offering great value without compromising on quality. We sought an experience that would immerse us in the essence of the destination while providing easy access to the local attractions and food that make Bologna so captivating. Our choice of accommodation was a delightful junior suite, nestled in room 119, complete with its own charming balcony. As we had seen in the YouTube videos, each room was unique in its design and character, adding an element of surprise and intrigue. The bathroom was perfectly sized, providing a comfortable and convenient space for our needs. While I personally found the bed slightly firmer than my preference, it still offered a good night's sleep. My wife, although noting that it might be a tad too firm for her liking, considered it a minor quibble in the grand scheme of things. The balcony was a true highlight, adorned with a reclining chair, a pair of cozy chairs, and a lovely table. We were delighted to discover a retractable awning, which, although we figured out how to use it on our last day, served as a wonderful shield against both rain and the playful local birdlife. The thoughtful addition of the awning enhanced our enjoyment of the balcony, providing a comfortable space to relax and soak in the surroundings.Other features, Plenty storage, TV, with various channels, to include some English, and very high ceilings. From the moment we stepped into the hotel, we were instantly captivated by its stunning location nestled within a picturesque setting. It surpassed all our expectations, even those set by the enticing YouTube videos we had watched beforehand. The friendly staff members and available pamphlets, greeted us in the lobby and eagerly provided a wealth of information on nearby destinations and must-visit tourist sites. As we ventured through the hotel, we found ourselves immersed in a treasure trove of art, discovering intricate pieces adorning every corner and floor of the hotel. We marveled at the meticulously preserved portions of the property, especially the wooden beams, protected throughout. Each floor and room with its own historical significance, and took our time absorbing the stories they whispered by hopeful name, plates, and historical plaques, describing each item, an article. Our exploration of the hotel was nothing short of enchanting, leaving us with a profound appreciation for the thought and care that went into its design and preservation. The hotels efforts and preserving it's history is remarkable. The hotel's breakfast buffet was truly exceptional! The diverse array of fresh meats, teas, cheeses, and other Italian culinary delights must have made it a memorable dining experience. It's fantastic that the hotel's thoughtful design and attention to detail is impressive. Our enthusiasm and anticipation for our next visit is a testament to the hotel's quality and service. I look forward to a future stay.

This place was great. The breakfast especially was amazing!!
