To improve: Acceso al apartamento no adaptado para carros de bebé o sillas de ruedas. Colchón muy blando y hundido. Almohadas incómodas.

Matched the photos and descriptions. Perfect for a 3 night stay. Kitchen was a bit basic if you wanted to eat breakfast in. It would be perfect if the table was in the kitchen (ample space) and there was a sofa in the living room. Staff was most helpful to store our luggage so we didn’t need to book (and pay for) late checkout.

Positive: Well equipped with everything we needed and more,lovely clean fluffy white bathroom towels. Perhaps the addition of a few coat hooks to hang outdoor jackets when we arrived back to the apartment and maybe somewhere to store our shoes as it is our habit at home to remove outdoor shoes and change into slippers for walking around the house.👍
To improve: There was a stain on the sofa (perhaps made by a previous uncaring guest)so we didn’t use it during our stay.

Positive: It was a great spot, easy walk to the fair and easy walk into the city. They also include transfers to and from airport and the fair grounds as well as a stocker mini bar and snack bar in the room
To improve: This is a tricky one. It was very expensive BUT but that’s what happens in Bologna during the fairs and in particular Cosmoprof. It’s market forces I suppose but still it does hurt!

Positive: Zentrale Lage fussläufig vom Bahnhof Bologna Centrale in gut zehn Minuten leicht erreichbar. Von Aussen sieht es zwar eher wie ein Bürokomplex aus, aber die angebotenen Appartemente im Haus lassen über das nüchterne äussere Erscheinungsbild hinwegsehen. Wie jedenfalls haben uns wirklich wohl gefühlt. Grosszügige und sehr helle Wohnung. Sehr sauber und alles funktioniert einwandfrei. Bequemes Bett - Matratze fest ( was wir schätzen). Gut funktionierende Klimaanlage. Angenehm grosses Badezimmer - mit viel Tageslicht. Grosszügige Duschkabine - alles funktioniert bestens. Top ist auch, dass es eine Waschmaschine hat - inklusive Waschmittel -. Küche mit genügend Geschirr und übrigen Küchenutensilien. Check-In erfolgt primär online. Sieht auf den ersten Blick etwas umständlich aus, ist aber einfach zu handhaben.
To improve: Uns hat das nicht gestört, aber durch die zentrale Lage an einer Strasse und gegenüber der zentralen Busstation ist es natürlich nicht gerade ruhig. (Für ÖV Reisende ist das vielleicht sogar ein Vorteil !)

Ottima soluzione, ho soggiornato in una suite con idromassaggio e sauna. Tutto perfettamente organizzato, letto e cuscini comodissimi, perfetta la pulizia. Check inautomatizzato perfettamente funzionante e chiaro. Bravi
Ho soggiornato due notti a Bologna. Il check-in autonomo è stato comodo e l'assistenza inizialmente disponibile, ma nel complesso l'esperienza non è stata all'altezza del prezzo pagato. Il monolocale non era rappresentato chiaramente nelle foto e la presenza del soppalco non era evidente, cosa che per noi è stata un problema. Inoltre abbiamo riscontrato alcuni aspetti poco curati (divano in cattive condizioni, asciugamano macchiato e TV non smart nonostante fosse indicata come racconto). Dopo aver lasciato una recensione sufficiente su Booking, sono stata contattata privatamente con un atteggiamento poco costruttivo, che mi ha ulteriormente deluso. Nel complesso esperienza discreta, ma migliorabile soprattutto in termini di trasparenza e gestione del feedback.

Positive: Modern, tidy and spacious apartment. Located close to the train station, and 10-minute walk into the city center.
To improve: The apartment is on a very busy road, so there is a lot of traffic noise throughout the night, and especially in the early morning. I stayed for 9 nights, and while I understood there is no cleaning throughout the stay there was also no basic cleaning equipment to help keep the apartment tidy and I had to request additional rubbish bags, a broom, and toilet paper.

To improve: Secondo me,soprattutto per il Parcheggio,che ho dovuto chiedere altrimenti non so se avrei avuto informazioni anche a fronte di un pagamento già fatto,le indicazioni non sono molto facili. Poi è veramente troppo troppo complicato accedere e trovare il Parcheggio.le indicazioni per l idro,la sauna,come entrare in camera ecc..sn molto dettagliate ma secondo me è proprio complicato il modo. Basterebbe un lucchetto all’ingresso con la chiave dentro come ci sono in tante altre strutture.

Positive: - L’ingresso autonomo; - I servizi disponibili (ampia vasca a idromassaggio, sauna, ampia doccia con illuminazione led regolabile/multicolore); - La buona dotazione di asciugamani per le varie attività. - Il pacchetto frigo bar / all inclusive molto conveniente. - Il caffè di buona qualità. - Il climatizzatore autonomo. - L’essenziale deumidificatore.
To improve: Il display della vasca a idromassaggio ha delle opportunità in termini di visibilità delle icone. Con buona pace per gli esercizi visivi e mnemonici, una riproduzione plastificata con la posizione delle icone, collocata nelle adiacenze, aiuterebbe. (Volendo, anche un tappetino da bagno in più, di dimensioni più generose, tra la vasca e il letto sarebbe un’aggiunta non sgradita alla dotazione —comunque generosa—, sebbene ci si possa ingegnare traendo dagli asciugamani.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have rooms with a hot tub in Bologna?
Yes. We offer suites with a private spa (jacuzzi, sauna and Turkish bath in the room) and rooms with a hot tub, with chromotherapy and a Smart TV. They're among our most requested accommodations, with a score of 9.1/10. Take a look at all our Suites with a private spa and our rooms with a hot tub.
Are you a hotel?
No, 4 Star Bologna is not a traditional hotel. We're a non-hotel accommodation with fully renovated rooms, suites and apartments, all located in the Central Station area and just a few steps from Bologna's historic centre.
What's different, in practice, compared to a classic hotel?
You won't find the classic front-desk porter at the entrance. You can check in online, entering the details and documents required by Italian law, or in person at our office in Viale Angelo Masini 20, which also serves as reception during opening hours.
This doesn't mean you'll be left on your own: our office is open every day, 7 days a week, until 22:00 and, while you're in the property, you have a dedicated emergency number available 24 hours a day.
You'll be able to choose from more spacious and independent options than the classic hotel room, with amenities designed to make your stay even more comfortable: air conditioning, large Smart TVs with Netflix and Prime Video and, in our suites with a private spa, an enormous hot tub, sauna or Turkish bath.
If you're looking for a hotel in Bologna near the station, 4 Star Bologna could be the ideal solution for you: a great location, comfortable spaces and excellent value for money.
Our guests have given us an average rating of 4.4 out of 5 across more than 3,000 reviews, while our spa suites have reached a rating of 9.1 out of 10.
Do I have to share spaces with other guests?
No. All our rooms and suites are completely independent and have a private bathroom inside the accommodation.
If you book one of our apartments, you'll have the entire apartment to yourself, to share only with the people you choose to share it with.
So there are no rooms, bathrooms or indoor spaces shared with guests outside your booking.
How does check-in work?
In two ways, you choose. With online check-in you complete your registration with the details required by law, our staff verifies them and sends you the instructions and the smart lock code: you enter whenever you like, with check-in from 15:00 and check-out by 11:00; early check-in and late check-out are available on request. With office check-in we welcome you in person at Viale Angelo Masini 20 (buzzer "4 Star Bologna"), just steps from your accommodation. In both cases, you have support at any hour for your entire stay.
How far are the properties from the Central Station?
Our properties are located in the quarter between the Central Station and the historic centre, reachable on foot in just a few minutes.
You'll find the exact address of your unit even before booking, right below the name of the accommodation you're choosing.
In any case, they're all within 150 m of our office in Viale Angelo Masini 20.
We're a large group, can we have apartments close together?
Absolutely. Before booking you'll find the exact street number of the apartment you're choosing, and we have several apartments at each address: just check the address, or ask our staff if you have any doubts.
In any case, all our apartments are within 150 m of our office in Viale Angelo Masini 20.
Is it better to book on the website rather than through the portals?
Yes: by booking direct you get the best price, without the portals' mark-up. If you find the same accommodation for less under the same conditions, we'll match it (see conditions).
Are the apartments suitable for families and groups?
Yes. The Family & Friends apartments host from 2 to 8 people, with a fully equipped kitchen and space for everyone to stay under one roof, near the station.

Your Bologna awaits
Best direct price, self check-in from 15:00 at any hour and a tub all to yourself. Book in less than two minutes.
