Astoria Hotel

Astoria Hotel is a 38-room three-star hotel at Via Fratelli Rosselli 14, near Bologna Centrale railway station in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The street lies in the station district on the western side of the tracks, a short walk from the main terminal and the long-distance and regional rail services that connect Bologna with Florence, Milan, Venice, Modena and Parma. Piazza Maggiore and the historic centre are about 20 to 25 minutes away on foot along Via dell'Indipendenza, or a short bus or taxi ride.

The neighbourhood is functional rather than picturesque, dominated by transport, hotels and everyday shops, but the proximity to the station is the defining advantage for travellers on rail itineraries and early departures. The hotel is a small, mid-range property whose 38 rooms give it a more personal scale than the large business hotels, and its private park provides a pleasant green corner unusual for the station area.

Rooms are offered as double and twin rooms with air conditioning, in-room internet, an in-room safe and a minibar. The hotel has a lift and a bar, bicycles are available for guests, and parking is listed, which is helpful in a district with limited street spaces. No spa, pool, fitness room or restaurant is listed in the available data, so breakfast and the bar form the on-site food offer, with the surrounding streets and the centre supplying dinner options such as tortellini in brodo and tagliatelle al ragù.

Service suits independent leisure travellers, rail passengers and visitors making day trips by train across the region. Rates generally run from about €80 to €170 per night, with increases during trade fairs when station-area hotels fill quickly. The practical combination of station access, bicycles and a private park makes Astoria a convenient, reasonably priced base for exploring both the city and Emilia-Romagna.
