Albergo Centrale Bologna

Albergo Centrale Bologna is a three-star hotel at Vicolo Cattani 7 in the Centro Storico of Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The small lane lies in the old town a short walk from Via dell'Indipendenza, the main axis between Bologna Centrale railway station and Piazza Maggiore. The station is roughly 15 minutes away on foot, while Piazza Maggiore, the Basilica di San Petronio and the Two Towers can each be reached in about 10 minutes, making the hotel well placed for visitors who plan to explore on foot.

The hotel takes its name from its central position and offers a plain, practical three-star experience in a city where porticoes and medieval lanes define the streetscape. It is not a luxury address but a convenient one, with the quiet of a side lane and the market streets, shops and restaurants of the historic centre a few minutes away. The Quadrilatero, with its salumerie, cheese shops and pasta workshops, is within an easy stroll.

Rooms are offered as double and twin rooms, with air conditioning, an in-room safe and a minibar, and the property has a bar and a lift. Accessible rooms are listed, which is notable for a hotel in the old town. Parking, spa, pool and fitness facilities are not listed, so drivers should check arrangements and the limited-traffic zone rules before arriving.

Breakfast and dining are modest on site, and visitors are usually directed to nearby trattorias for tortellini in brodo, tagliatelle al ragù and mortadella. Service is geared to leisure travellers on city breaks and to visitors arriving by train, who value being near the station and the sights at once. Rates typically range from about €80 to €170 per night depending on the season and event calendar, and rooms are in demand during trade fairs and graduation periods, so early booking is advisable.
