“Hotel Metropolitan benefits from its superb location, a short walk from both the Bologna train station and the Piazza Maggiore, and adds value with its rooftop bar offering expansive views; the breakfast is more than essential, it's very satisfying, with local culinary touches. While the rooms are modern, some may find them compact, but I think the hotel's charm lies in its personalized service and central setting, making it a smart choice for exploring Bologna.”

spacious roomsensational showerquality food
the room was spacious and immaculate.. the suite style was high end. the shower was sensational. breakfast included a broad variety of quality food.
the hotel is located just off the main shopping street, via independenza, however the room layout was a bit quirky because it's in an old building with steps in both the room and bathroom.

great central stay

helpful staffgreat cocktailsmouldy grout
the reception staff were great and willing to order a taxi. breakfast was good with great selection and beautifully presented items. i liked that the hotel tucked away off the main street, provided easy access to various attractions. the rooftop bar had lovely staff and great cocktails.
I found the housekeeping subpar, and it seems maintenance is required. The grout was mouldy on bathroom tiles. tables were wobbly, requiring only screw tightening. The paintwork was very marked.

The hotel had a very central location. I could walk to all the sights. my check-in process was smooth and friendly. i was in a studio apartment annex, a separate building close to the hotel. i really liked the kitchenette. It had all i needed (plus, the ac worked perfectly!).
I noticed the walls are not soundproof. I could hear noises from other apartments.
