What guests think

At Art Hotel Commercianti, travellers consistently praise the unbeatable old-town location steps from Piazza Maggiore, the historic character with artful decor, and a generous, high-quality breakfast, alongside helpful staff who assist with directions, reservations, and special requests.

Common drawbacks include noise from thin walls or nearby streets and garbage collection, and occasionally hard-to-reach annex rooms with stairs or a small, unreliable elevator. Reaching the hotel by car can be tricky within the ZTL, though a paid garage and clear guidance help. A few guests mentioned room smells, inconsistent air conditioning, or uneven service, but cleanliness is generally strong. Expect a charming, central stay best for sightseeing, with some potential for noise.

We were impacted by the air traffic glitch in the UK so had to quickly head from Verona to Bologna to get a flight home. The hotel location is perfect right in the heart of the City with easy walking distance to bars, restaurants and sights. The staff and breakfast were excellent too and the room was very good. Areas that need some TLC are the lift (just one very small / old lift that broke down) and curtains in the room that provide some shield from the light.

Unser Zimmer war eine Uhrensammlung… Ein absolutes TOP-Frühstück und sehr entgegenkommendes und freundliches Personal. Das Hotel verfügt über eine Garage und ein Stellplatz kann gegen Gebühr (33€) gebucht werden.

This hotel was fabulous! The location just to one side os Basilica S. Petronio put me in the center of town. It has historical features (12th c wooden beams for support) inside. Each room has a theme and is uniquely decorated. I stayed in two room types (one on the 3rd floor with a terrace and a more modest double classic room on the 2nd floor). Both had wonderful bathrooms with strong showers. The refrigerator with mini bar was nice. A dining table with seats was fitted into a nook (so thoughtful). The staff were just outstanding! Very upbeat, great courtesy and helpful especially the front desk and breakfast room staff. The only negatives are the beds are hard and the 2nd floor room had lower quality pillows and bedding. I had to exchange a blanket I needed to use (since it became cold) at the front desk since it had a bad odor. Also, being Fall, the A/C, heat or just the fan didn’t work. I had to open the windows of the terrace door (3rd floor) to get air. I did ask the front desk staff but they weren’t able to get it function. Enjoyed my stay in Bologna very much - mostly due to this hotel!

Il personale è cordiale e particolarmente attento alle esigenze del cliente. Colazione abbondante con ampia scelta di dolce e salato e personale di sala gentilissimo. Suite molto bella, pulita e comoda, con bagno pulito e dotato di tutto. L'hotel si trova in una posizione centralissima, comodo per visitare il centro storico e le sue bellezze. La particolarità e lo stile degli arredi e delle suppellettili, raccontano la storia del luogo e la cura dei particolari. Comodo e adeguato per le famiglie. Tornerò sicuramente.

Very nice hotel, we had two of the annex apartments around the corner from the hotel. The apartments were clean, very nicely appointed, and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious each morning. Lots of shopping in the area as well as history since you are in the center of Bologna. We walked each day to the train station which is bout a 20 min walk, not bad. The only complaint I have was one night the restaurant in the alley next to our room was VERY noisy up till 12:30am maybe 1:00am. My wife and I felt like we were lying in the ,idle of the restaurant it was so loud. Just be aware if you are in room 403, that’s a possibility.

There are many positives to share and only one negative… On the plus side: the location is simply unbeatable, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the included breakfast was fantastic. On the negative side- the room walls must be incredibly thin, as I could hear snoring every night from the room next door and when they were on the phone or using their TV it was as if we were sharing a room. I think I’d stay again because of all the positives, but I’m a light sleeper and it was a bit tough.

Så rent, pent, rolig, staselig og komfortabelt. Frokosten var også fantastisk. Det fineste hotellet jeg bodde på ila. mine uker i Italia og perfekt beliggenhet for å utforske Bologna!
