Highlights
Location: 9.7 location score, 7 min to Piazza Maggiore
“Locanda Dell'Orsa enjoys a vibrant position near Bologna's Piazza Maggiore, a nexus for exploring the city's historic heart. While some may find the building's exterior a touch timeworn, the soundproofed double rooms provide a peaceful retreat. Certain rooms also include a balcony, adding to the appeal. I think it's a practical choice for those prioritizing location and independent stays.”
