About

B&B Bentivogli By Lesdomus - Fronte Ospedale Sant'Orsola

B&B Bentivogli By Lesdomus – Fronte Ospedale Sant'Orsola sits on Via Giuseppe Massarenti, about 1.4 km from the University of Bologna. The 9-room property has been recently refurbished and keeps things simple: clean contemporary rooms with parquet floors, a small shared kitchen, and breakfast served at a nearby café.

Guests consistently mention the staff by name – Sandra especially – for handling late check-ins, printing boarding passes, and giving clear directions from the station. It is a 15–20 minute walk into the old town, with a bus stop nearby and plenty of local restaurants within a few metres.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Staff who genuinely go the extra mile — Guests repeatedly highlight the warmth and efficiency of the team, with Sandra especially named for handling late arrivals and printing boarding passes.
  • Good value for central Bologna — At a starting price of £169 and a 15–20 minute walk into the old town, reviewers find it competitively priced for what's on offer.
  • Quiet yet close to the action — The location offers a calm setting with a bus stop nearby and numerous restaurants within metres, while the centre is a short stroll away.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rooms can be compact — Several guests describe the rooms as small, which may be a consideration if you're planning a long stay or travelling with a lot of luggage.
  • Check-in hours are limited — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 21:00, so if you're arriving later, you'll need to arrange it in advance – though reviewers note the staff are accommodating.
  • Breakfast is served off-site — The continental breakfast is provided at a nearby café rather than in the B&B itself – a detail to know if you prefer to eat in-house.

“Possibly the best and most pleasant stay for a holiday. Particularly helpful and professional staff at reception and everywhere else. A great spread for breakfast. Early check-in and on-site parking are available – parking costs US$11 a day. Picturesque location in a quiet area, right by the historical city centre and with a restaurant nearby.”

“I stayed a few days while visiting Bologna. The hotel has been recently refurbished, and the air conditioning kept the room cool and comfortable. Sandra, the host, was fantastic and very accommodating even with my late arrival. The room was spacious, clean, and well-furnished, with a fantastic shower. I also enjoyed the continental breakfast at a nearby café. The location was handy, a short walk to the centre and a bus stop close by. Staff responded quickly to fix an air-conditioning issue.”
