We travel extensively through out Italy, and always are happy to find ourselves back 'home' at the Commercianti'. The hotel has a unique character as the designers have kept certain centuries old architectural aspects visible while making it very comfortable and gracious. We have been in many of the rooms, over the years, and each one has charm. Breakfast is... More

The hotel is in the heart of the old city, right next to the Cathedral. There is a garage for parking, however you will never find it with satnav or a map, we parked nearby the pedestrianised area and I asked in the hotel for directions. The lady on reception was very helpful and drew the map giving helpful hints... More

Staying for a convention with my wife for 5 nights. We booked a deluxe room, says 23 sq m but was closer to 16 sq m, apparently the balcony is included in the size. No restaurant or room service, bar closed at 9.30, internet connection patchy. If you are looking for a base to explore then a good choice, for... More

Nice hotel, great location. Good breakfast (all cold but good variety). Room was ok, but beds were rock hard. Terrible water pressure in shower. Lovely reception staff-you see them a lot as you hand in your big key every time you head out. A few english tv channels. Wifi a bit hit and miss. Decor is cool, there is even... More

Right off the main plaza of Bologna, the Art Commercianti is a good choice for both tourists and business travelers. It is surrounded by restaurants, shops, and cultural sites, and makes it even easier for guests to get around by lending them bicycles (I took one, and was able to see a lot more of the town than I could...

We asked for the same room that we had during as last visit, a Double Deluxe room (ask for room 312) with a HUGE terrace overlooking the Basilica di San Petronio (largest in Bologna). During our stay there was a... More

Its in the centre of city, thats it really. The rooms are small and quite comfortable in an italian sort of way. My room had a view of a wall and its expensive. Bologna has lots its sparkle maybe its the recession or could be i am just bored by heritage. Stayed here some years ago and nothing has changed.... More

This hotel is so much more than it's wonderful location. But, the location is perfect...in the center of everything! There are things going on all around you but the hotel is quaint and quiet! Wonderful staff. Beautiful breakfast.

The Commercianti is just off the main square in Bologna, and as such, it's a perfect location for siteseeing and a short break. With that said, the center of town is pretty compact, so there are several other hotels within easy reach, so my praise for the property is more than where it is. First, the bad. I booked at... More
