Well located boutique hotel in historic Bologna
The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The room, and hotel in general, were in very good condition. Very close to piazza maggiore and an easy walk to anywhere in historic Bologna. If you like a good quality centrally located boutique hotel, this is an excellent choice.

Comfortable hotel on a safe, quiet street, with just a short walk to great restaurants, shops, and gelaterias! The staff is very nice and helpful, including the breakfast waitstaff that serves a delicious breakfast! The hotel is a straight 20 minute walk from the train station. I would definitely stay here again!

The hotel is a gem. It's just steps away from the Plaza Mayor, but in a small square where there is peace and quiet. The staff is very friendly and the room is very comfortable. Its location is exceptional.

Really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Brun. From the delicious breakfast to the very comfortable bed - clean and comfy with a nice armoire closet. The staff was very helpful with suggestions for activities and restaurants. Great location to everything central and a 20-25 minute walk to/from the train station.
I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here on future trips to Bologna. Grazie Mille
