The hotel is ideally located—just a short, easy walk from the train station and within close proximity to major sites, architectural landmarks, and a wide range of restaurants. The staff were attentive and welcoming throughout our stay, and the facilities were exceptionally clean.

Enjoyed our start at the Royal Hotel Carlton. The proximity to the Central train station was convenient for our arrival from Florence as well as our departure to the airport the next day. It’s also a 15 min walk from the Piazza Maggiore which made it easy to explore Bologna for the day we were there.

Another great choice in terms of location, amenities and space. An easy quick walk from the train station and just a lovely property - big beautiful lobby with plenty of space to chill, helpful staff and a small bar/cafe. There’s also a restaurant but we were too busy adventuring to eat there. The room was clean, quiet and comfy. I’m happy to recommend it to others.
