Great location close to the centre and restaurants. Lovely breakfast and comfortable room. Early check in which was much appreciated.

The bathroom in our room wasn’t one of the renovated ones seen online. It was perfectly fine but a bit tired and shower leaked a little.

The location was perfect for us—just a 5-minute walk to the center and square, where the best shopping and restaurants are. We loved being so close yet on a quiet, safe street. The restaurant across the road was our favorite! In fact, we enjoyed the hotel and restaurant so much that we extended our stay at both. The bed was very comfortable, the room was spacious with lovely interiors, and the breakfast setting was divine—an indoor garden-like space that felt so serene. The staff were incredibly helpful, going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. We absolutely loved Bologna and will definitely return to this city and hotel!

Lovely hotel with a nice outdoor breakfast area. Breakfast was included and was very good. Room was large, comfortable and very clean. Very nice and helpful staff. Good location, a little out of the main tourist areas (which meant it was very quiet) but easy walking distance to all of the sites. Two nice restaurants very close to the hotel.

There were mosquitos in the outdoor areas. The room we were in had a small window so not a lot of natural light.

One of the highlights of our stay was dining at the hotel's garden cafe for breakfast. The buffet offered a wide variety of delicious options, from freshly baked pastries to eggs. The quality of the food was exceptional, and the service was prompt and attentive. Overall, the Hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. The combination of top-notch service, luxurious accommodations, and excellent location made for a truly memorable experience. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a perfect blend of comfort and hospitality during their visit to this city.

The bathroom was beautiful original tile but could have been cleaned a little better.

The breakfast was varied with plenty of options and excellent coffee. The garden is beautiful and the staff are very friendly and helpful, especially in the breakfast room - "the Orangerie". Our room was spacious with a large bathroom and plenty of toiletries for our stay. There are two very good restaurants on the same street so you don't have to walk far for a good evening meal after a day of touring.

It's a minor detail but a fruit salad or more vegetables available at breakfast would be great.

Breakfast was very nice with a lot of good choices. The staff were helpful and very friendly. The hotel has a lovely patio with wonderful plants and everything is very good taken care of. It is a little oasis in the town. I enjoyed my stay and would come back another time. It meets my expectations to a four star hotel.

My first room was noisy and too small. The second room was living up to everything I wanted. The staff were helpful and very nice about it. The rooms are not sound proof but that perhaps cannot be expected from a traditional town house building. But it is also me who is highly allergic to slamming doors. A coffee maker in the room would have been nice but somehow does not seem to be a standard in Italy.

What a gorgeous find this hotel was! A lovely little boutique hotel tucked away with a beautiful courtyard (sadly I brought the rain with me from Manchester so I couldn’t enjoy it). Breakfast was divine and the staff in the restaurant were lovely - remembering my coffee order from the day before so I didn’t even need to ask, was a nice touch and much appreciated. Highly recommended and i would definitely stay here again

The neighbours were a little noisy on the Friday evening but really, you can’t complain about Friday night noise in a city centre

Beautiful small hotel, at the edge of the historical part of Bologna. We were very lucky to find parking just outside. The staff was always very friendly. The room was nice, comfortable and clean. We particularly enjoyed breakfast in the cozy back yard, in a lovely garden.

The days we were in Bologna were very hot, and the air-condition didn't work properly. It stopped every few hours and we had to switch on and off a button in the hallway every time.

Absolutely stunning hotel which felt like an oasis away from the crowds of Bologna's historic centre. Just a 15-minute walk from Piazza Maggiore but much closer to some of the city's best restaurants in Al Sangiovese, Osteria Le Mura, and Sette Tavoli. The room had gorgeous views over the colourful rooftops and breakfast was hearty and tasty. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. You could tell it is a real labour of love for everyone involved from the art and finishings to the attentiveness of the employees. 5-star quality for a fraction of the price. I cannot recommend Porta San Mamolo more highly.

Nothing – a thoroughly enjoyable stay from start to finish.

Hotel staff were friendly and helpful, especially breakfast staff. Rooms were pleasant, very comfy bed/pillows, well stocked with toiletries. Breakfast was adequate, usual mediterranean foods ie cakes/pastries, hams/cheese/tomatoes and also eggs/toast. Nice garden area to eat breakfast too (9-10am is busy time, if you are group of 4+ suggest you turn up earlier to ensure a table).

Hot water was temperamental - had none in the shower on our second evening (6.30-7pm) and then third evening couldn't get any from tap but shower ok from around 7.30pm. Scrambled eggs/bacon at breakfast was lukewarm/cold, would benefit from a heated serving platter.
