The SavHotel is a mid-range modern hotel that largely exists for guests in town for exhibitions or conferences at the nearby Bologna Fiere and Congress Palace venues. The 120 rooms are sleek, contemporary, and minimalist, though they can feel a little too sparse and thin walls have been reported. A real highlight is the spacious rooftop terrace, which can be used for sunbathing in the summer. A free, generous breakfast buffet is also a bonus and free bike loan is a nice touch. Tourists would find themselves a little far out for easy access to Bologna's historical center, but if the location suits, it's a reasonably priced and attractive option.

The il Guercino is a 41 room, mid-range boutique hotel. Easily accessible from the train station and within walking distance to the city center, this charming property features individually designed, and somewhat dated, rooms in a traditional Italian building. An indoor hot tub, sauna, and small fitness center are nice perks, but there isn't a restaurant on-site. The hotel offers great value with freebies like breakfast, bikes, and Wi-Fi and it’s slightly cheaper than the Marriott further along the road.

The 156-room NH Bologna De La Gare is a business-oriented chain hotel set close to Bologna's main station. The location is in an excellent spot for access by car and train, and the city's charming historic center is within walking distance. While some pricier rooms are nicely finished, those awaiting renovation are in real need of a makeover (and don't live up to the property's advertised four-star status). Lack of spa or health amenities is another shortcoming and though there is a contemporary restaurant and bar, it may be hard to justify the hotel's relatively pricey rates.

The 118-room Ramada Encore Bologna Fiera is a modern, mid-range chain hotel geared largely towards business travelers and those in town for nearby trade fairs or conferences. The Bologna Fiera expo venue is just five minutes away -- the hotel provides free shuttle services -- while the location also offers easy road access to the airport. Rooms are simple, but clean and well-maintained with flat-screen TVs and electric kettles while sleek bathrooms impress. The hotel's reasonable rates, however, are the real draw, though only if you have business in the area -- Bologna's city center is several miles away and this location isn't convenient for tourists.
