Powered by AI
Hotel Metropolitan enjoys a convenient location near Piazza Maggiore and other attractions in the city center, making it easy to explore Bologna on foot. Many guests appreciate the breakfast buffet with its diverse sweet and savory options. Some found the bed too soft, yet the modern rooms and large bathrooms, some featuring heated floors, generally receive positive feedback. Don't miss the rooftop bar, offering great views, especially at sunset.

the staff was friendly enough and helped with restaurant recommendations.
The walls between rooms were EXTREMELY thin. I heard every conversation next door. the noise continued until late, and repeated calls to reception only resolved it after an hour, which i found frustrating.
