On our first visit to Bologna we figured we would stay at the hotel Metropolitan because of its location in the city as it was fairly central to all the interesting areas and gave us a great place to start to explore from. One thing to note is that it is a bit of a walk from the train station, but the walk is nice and is mostly under porticoes which made it much more enjoyable. The hotel itself was very clean and nice and the room was set up very well. I did read from other reviewers about the odd shower/bathroom arrangement and I need to report that it was indeed a bit odd for us as well. Once we figured it out it was not an issue though and we got along with the bathroom/shower just fine. The hotel staff was very friendly and the rooftop lounge was a great place to spend the later evenings and sometimes the late afternoons. The rooftop lounge had very nice views with good drinks and snacks. The breakfast downstairs was good, but I would only rate it a 6 out of 10 due to the lack of selection. I will tell you that the coffee was fantastic though! We quickly fell into the timing of the Bologna locals which included a light lunch around 12-1pm, an Apertivo around 5-6pm with a very small snack and then dinner at 7-8pm. This is not our normal timing (being from the US), but once you get into the flow it works quite well and you can tell the time by the packed crowds at either the bars and/or restaurants. The hotel was great!

The room was spacious but I didn't like the decor. It was super noisy, you could hear other guests' closing their closet doors! They didn't even have body lotion, I'm used to not bringing any because hotels provide it, but here, they had a bottle of shampoo instead of hand soap in one side of the sink. I had read the reviews that stated that breakfast was wonderful, but I don't think so. Having stayed in other properties around Italy this trip and in previous trips, it was not even close. The only reason to stay here is its location

Room was very small, no where in the bathroom to put anything

Nice spot. Lovely rooftop patio. Great service. We arrived with our tandem bike and they were very helpful and accommodating.

Great location. The public areas weren’t always that clean. The room was fine although a little small for a family. Rooftop bar was great and the breakfast buffet was generous and tasty.

The Hotel is located in a very touristy area with shopping and restaurants nearby. The hotel beds are not the most comfortable, they seem a bit worn out. The shower has plenty wear and tear. The rooms have a funky sewage smell

Great location, clean friendly hotel. Would definitely recommend. Also nice breakfast and staff. Train to Florence nearby.

Our stay at this property was a pleasant surprise. We stayed in their off-site apartment building which was perfect. Clean, comfy, and accompanied by great air-conditioning. We had a full kitchen which came in handy for leftovers that we folded together with some local wine. The roof deck at the hotel is lovely. The cocktails and small plates were delicious and the staff was pleasant and very accommodating. Parking (if you have a car) is a short walk and next to a fabulous coffee house (Mr. Coffee). The coffee house has several breakfast options to fuel your morning. For the price point, If leverage this property again on the next venture to Bologna.

Excelent

Good central location, really welcoming staff and a great rooftop lounge bar

We stayed at the a hotel Metropoli

At best this is a three star, not four as advertised. Had wall

Spacious rooms, helpful and welcoming staff. Good A/C. Wonderful rooftop bar with friendly staff and nice view.

Tucked off the main street, this hotel is a fabulous place to stay. Really handy for all attractions and really centrally located. The staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms were clean, spacious and cool in the heat. The staff in the rooftop bar were lovely and the cocktails were great too. Would recommend this hotel and I would definitely stay again.

Beautiful room, centrally located, great staff, rooftop bar is an added bonus.

Booked two rooms, both in courtyard. You have to take three levels of stairs, go outside down a set of stairs then over a wooden walkway with luggage. Room 603 smelled like sewage at all times, shower had zero privacy and an awkward step down into the bathroom. Hotel was in ok area, not bad but not great. Black mold in the shower and in the coffee maker (have photos). I would absolutely not recommend this location if given these overpriced rooms.

Our apartment was spacious and the staff were very helpful, particularly when advising of local restaurants. The location is very central but also quiet. The breakfast is amazing with a huge choice which varies daily and is beautifully presented.

Easy convenient and perfect for our trip

Very nice place!

Great location and beautiful property and lobby! Rooms are spacious, but could use a bit of a touch up. Breakfast was amazing.
