We have stayed in a number of hotels in Bologna and this is by far our favourite. We enjoyed our stay and the service we received so much that we canceled reservations we had at another hotel for later in our trip and booked with the Touring Hotel for our return. The area is an older residential area, not so touristy, but the essential spots in Bologna were all within an easy walk. The view from the rooftop cafe made for a great start to our trip.
