Almarossa
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Almarossa is worth booking if you want a clean, central 4-star base in Bologna for roughly half the price of the city median. Skip it, or ask for a quiet room, if you sleep lightly, because street noise at night is the main complaint.

This is our Budget pick for Bologna, though it holds 4 stars and a guest score of 8.9 out of 10 from 1,307 reviews, the largest review count among our three picks here. It suits travellers arriving by train, couples and families on a sightseeing trip, and anyone who wants supermarkets and restaurants close by. Family rooms are listed and the hotel is tagged as pet friendly.
Light sleepers should be careful. Guests report loud traffic and shouting from nearby bars that can last through the night.
Location and getting around
The address is 22 Via Irnerio, in the Bologna City Center area. Guests rate the location 9.1 and say the train station, the historic centre, supermarkets and local restaurants are all within walking distance.
By straight-line estimate, Piazza Maggiore is 0.9 km away, around 11 minutes on foot, and San Petronio is 1 km, about 13 minutes. Madonna di San Luca is 4.7 km away, about 59 minutes. That is far, so use public transport or a taxi for that visit. Parking is not confirmed in our data.
What guests say
Cleanliness stands out. Guests describe spotless, well-maintained and modern interiors.
The location is the other strong point, especially the short walk to the station and the old town.
Noise is the honest drawback. Some guests mention traffic and late-night shouting from bars disturbing their sleep. If that worries you, ask for a room away from the street when you book.
