Non abbiamo trascorso un buon soggiorno, in quanto abbiamo prenotato una camera matrimoniale con bagno privato ma al nostro arrivo l'unica sistemazione disponibile era una stanza doppia con letti separati (di cui uno veramente scomodo) e il bagno condiviso. Ma non è tutto, l' appartamento intero era stato già affittato ad un gruppo di 11 ragazzi, che hanno fatto chiasso per tutta la notte, ricominciando all'alba! Per cui è stato impossibile dormire! Aggiungo inoltre fastidiose porte che cigolano e non si chiuduno bene a chiave e cattivo odore sulle asciugamani. L'unica nota positiva è una buona colazione, e il rimborso accordato dalla proprietaria per ovviare all' incresciosa situazione. Data la disorganizzazione riscontrata non mi sento di consigliare il b&b. ##### Elena ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 23 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Corona d'Oro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-Hotel-Corona-DOro.h48544.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Porta San Mamolo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-Hotel-Porta-San-Mamolo.h2523989.Hotel-Information) > > [Savhotel Fiera Bologna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-Savhotel.h1414706.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Diana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rimini-Hotels-Hotel-Diana.h2529791.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Bologna Centro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-Mercure-Bologna-Centro.h3529.Hotel-Information) > > [The Social Hub Bologna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-The-Social-Hub-Bologna.h53115672.Hotel-Information) > > [Touring Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-Touring-Hotel.h922572.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Rimini](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rimini-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Rimini.h19695.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Bologna de la Gare](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-NH-Bologna-De-La-Gare.h13902.Hotel-Information) > > [Grande Albergo Roma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Piacenza-Hotels-Grande-Albergo-Roma.h2536122.Hotel-Information) > > [I Portici Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-I-Portici-Hotel.h1841032.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel San Donato - Bologna Centro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-Best-Western-Hotel-San-Donato.h9202.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel London Blackfriars](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Novotel-London-Blackfriars.h5459142.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Hotel Carlton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-Royal-Hotel-Carlton.h20853.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Rua Frati 48 in San Francesco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Modena-Hotels-Hotel-Rua-Frati-48-In-San-Francesco.h29775442.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Centrale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-Hotel-Centrale.h521217.Hotel-Information) > > [Art Hotel Commercianti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-Art-Hotel-Commercianti.h48543.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Internazionale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-Hotel-Internazionale.h12028.Hotel-Information) > > [i-Suite Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rimini-Hotels-I-Suite-Hotel.h4011654.Hotel-Information) > > [ Phi Hotel Bologna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-Phi-Hotel-Bologna.h45716.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Rose Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rimini-Hotels-Le-Rose-Suite-Hotel.h1566584.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Metropolitan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-Hotel-Metropolitan.h916045.Hotel-Information) > > [051 Room & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna-Hotels-051-Room-Breakfast.h19442436.Hotel-Information) > > [Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Planet-Hollywood-Resort-Casino.h15117.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in San Sebastián](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Sebastian-Hotels.d6084360.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/lax/london-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Ahmedabad (AMD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/amd/london-to-ahmedabad) ---
