What guests think
At Central City Inn, guests consistently highlight its apartment-style setup rather than a traditional hotel, with minimal on-site facilities, a hard-to-spot entrance, and coordinated check-in, while its location near Bologna Centrale and the historic center is convenient.
Rooms are generally modern, comfortable, and clean, though size varies, some bathrooms are private but across the hall, and traffic-facing rooms can experience noise. Service feedback is mixed: several praise friendly, helpful hosts and quick WhatsApp coordination, while others report slow responses, no on-site staff, unclear directions, and inconsistent or paid luggage storage. The surrounding area is described by multiple reviewers as seedy after dark, and housekeeping across multi-night stays can be limited. Expect a simple, apartment-style stay with strong transport access but fewer hotel-like services.

Like others have said, it was difficult to locate this property, because we were looking for a hotel, not a room in an apartment house. Once there, the owner did allow us to store our suitcases. The room is modern and clean and attractive with a window on a main Street. there are many street people in the area. It would’ve been good to have some mugs and some utensils. There are only very small plastic, espresso, cups and glasses. But there was a mini fridge and a one cup coffee maker.

The location is difficult to find, the listed phone numbers do not work and the process for gaining access to your room is super inconvenient. The location is close to the train station but is a bit of a seedy area. However….. the biggest issue is the staff. Or rather, the lack thereof. This place doesn’t have many rooms but it still takes them 2.5 hours to respond to WhatsApp messages. Also…. Only once you get there do you find out there isn’t really any luggage storage but they will hold it for you for €10 due to their inconvenience. It’s like….. excuse me? Paying customers are now an inconvenience? No Thankyou. It’s a shame because the room itself is more than adequate, if a little noisy. Also, 2 coffee pods in a room that can accomodate 3 people for days, is at least 4 pods short. The owners are frugal and stingy and I’d recommend you stay elsewhere

First off, not an Inn- some private rooms in an apartment building. Be sure to arrange check-in ahead of time. Host was friendly but not at the 'inn'. Room was smallish, bathroom was nice, private and across the hall. Not a very inviting area of town but across from the regional bus station, not too far from train station. Not a pleasant night walk to the historic part of town. We chose it because of train proximity. Bed not US type king, more like a queen.

Whilst staff were very helpful, the property wasn’t as described. It isn’t a Hotel or Inn, just a room in a residential block. Quite difficult to find - no exterior sign and only be peering through barred securely doors could we see a name which was similar ( amongst many plaques). There was nobody there for check in although we had arranged a time, but they came quickly when we contacted them. There is no luggage storage though that was advertised, but the owners were helpful and allowed us to leave bags when we queried this. Our room was clean and well appointed.

Apartment with 4 separate units / rooms with own bath. Building entrance a little hidden in yard, normal living house entrance. Remember to tell at what time you are arriving. I sent a whatsapp at arrival and was met within 2 minutes. Very friendly host. Clean, newly renovated room with spacious bathroom. Fridge, coffeemaker, hairdryer, alarmclock, just everything there. Quiet, even at night.

This is not a hotel or an Inn. You are renting a room in someone’s 3 BDR apartment where you will be sharing a hallway that leads to your door. The room we had (#1) was modern and had an ensuite. But there is zero service; no lobby; no personal contact whatsoever.

Room was pleasant. Large with a nice bathroom. It was definitely more like an air B and B than a hotel. Took me by surprise since it was unlike anything I booked on Expedia before. Finding it and getting access had air B and B quirkiness.

When ticking the ‘hotel only’ filter this property is shown as a hotel. It isn’t. It’s a room in a residential apartment. No front desk, no staff at any point in our stay just a WhatsApp message about how to let ourselves into their apartment.

It was very hard to find the place. I was looking for an inn, as the name indicates, but this is just an apartment inside a building. Check in could have been smoother. The owner has accidentally been at the spot. If not, I would have never been able to find the place it check in. The room isn’t self was absolutely great, no complaints.

Se encuentra en una zona que no luce bien pues hay muchos homeless cerca. La atención fue buena en el check in aunque la decoración de la habitación deja mucho que desear. No limpiaron el cuarto, ni baño. Esperaba que hicieran la cama, vaciaran el bote de basura y acomodaran el baño y se llevaran las toallas mojadas y no lo hicieron. Por el precio que pagamos definitivamente no vale la pena quedarse ahi.

I thought that I had booked a full service hotel. I got a one room apartment with no staff. Over six nights my room was serviced once. The area is extremely inconvenient, with transportation being a long walk away on an extremely noisy ring road. I had no direction as to how to get in to the property. I figured out, with the help of strangers on the street, that I had to ring the bell of the apartment. Then, after several rings and a long wait, someone showed up on a bicycle to give me access. Extremely overpriced. I'm not happy about the whole things.

This place is not a hotel!

I sent a whatsapp at arrival and was met within 2 minutes. Very friendly host. Clean, newly renovated room with spacious bathroom. Fridge, coffeemaker, hairdryer, alarmclock, just everything there. Quiet, even at night.

When ticking the ‘hotel only’ filter this property is shown as a hotel. It isn’t. It’s a room in a residential apartment. No front desk, no staff at any point in our stay just a WhatsApp message about how to let ourselves into their apartment.

It was very hard to find the place. I was looking for an inn, as the name indicates, but this is just an apartment inside a building. Check in could have been smoother. The owner has accidentally been at the spot. If not, I would have never been able to find the place it check in. The room isn’t self was absolutely great, no complaints.

Location
Very convenient for the train station and walkable to the historic center. Some describe the immediate area as seedy or sketchy, and traffic can affect rooms facing busy streets.

It is very close to Bologna Central Station. You can also walk to the old town of Bologna. The rooms are clean, neat and comfortable. International travellers should be aware that they need to call the room owner when checking in.

Se encuentra en una zona que no luce bien pues hay muchos homeless cerca. La atención fue buena en el check in aunque la decoración de la habitación deja mucho que desear. No limpiaron el cuarto, ni baño. Esperaba que hicieran la cama, vaciaran el bote de basura y acomodaran el baño y se llevaran las toallas mojadas y no lo hicieron. Por el precio que pagamos definitivamente no vale la pena quedarse ahi.

Walkable from the train station, bus station, and central Bologna. Impeccably clean, close to two delicious cafes and numerous eating spots - both sit down and take out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would absolutely stay here again.

First off, not an Inn- some private rooms in an apartment building. Be sure to arrange check-in ahead of time. Host was friendly but not at the 'inn'. Room was smallish, bathroom was nice, private and across the hall. Not a very inviting area of town but across from the regional bus station, not too far from train station. Not a pleasant night walk to the historic part of town. We chose it because of train proximity. Bed not US type king, more like a queen.

Das Zimmer ist am Rande der Altstadt an der Ringstrasse gelegen. Trotzdem ist der Strassenlärm kaum zu hören. Das Bett ist komfortabel, das Badezimmer zweckmäßig.Der Kontakt verläuft über WhatsApp, was sehr gut geklappt hat.

The room is very nice and the staff is very accommodating. The only issue is the area around the hotel can seem a bit sketchy, especially after dark.

チェックインの際、ホステルスタッフと連絡が取れず少し心配になりましたが！5分ほどで現れてくれて無事にチェックイン出来ました。部屋は広く快適でしたが、アメニティ類はほぼ何もないので持参することをお勧めします。（ルームスリッパ、歯ブラシ、シャンプーなど） 近くのカフェへ朝食に入りましたが美味しかったです。

The perfect sized hotel by the sea! Personal service that the big chains, where I often stay, cannot match. Always got the feeling that the owner sincerely cares about the customer and that the importance of the almighty $ is down the list. Amenties like a bathrobe, beach towel, quality toiletries, mini bar... that you would only expect at a much more expensive hotel, are provided, along with a very good buffet breakfast.

Check in was a little confusing but we had last minute booked as our original hotel didn’t get back to us all day for check in (until Expedia intervened) They have a WhatsApp number on their website that you can text and they’re very responsive. Location was amazing, bed was very comfortable, AC unit worked well, and they provide a Nespresso machine with pods
