About

La Fenice A.C.

La Fenice A.C. keeps things simple: a garden, a terrace, and rooms that are noticeably roomier than the norm.

It sits in a quiet part of Bologna, close enough to the historic heart to walk in, and near a bus stop for when you'd rather not.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Exceptionally friendly staff — Guests repeatedly highlight the warmth and helpfulness of the team and owner, with some going out of their way to upgrade visitors.
  • Spacious rooms — Reviews frequently mention the generous size of the rooms, from triples to doubles, sometimes even with an upgrade.
  • Peaceful yet central location — Set in a tranquil area, yet within a short walk of the towers and downtown, with a bus stop nearby for convenience.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Shared bathrooms in some rooms — A number of rooms, including the Basic Triple, come with a shared bathroom rather than an en-suite.
  • Value rating slips below the rest — While rooms and service score well, the value category sits below the average, suggesting some may find the price on the higher side for what's offered.
  • No on-site parking listed — No parking is noted in the policies, so guests arriving by car will need to plan for street parking or a nearby garage.

“The triple room was huge, though the bathroom was shared.”

8.1Verified guest

“A great stay. The triple with breakfast was excellent, and the extra touches (shower, hairdryer, bidet) were a nice plus. The location felt peaceful, a short walk from the Botanical Garden and Herbarium, and only 15 minutes on foot from downtown. The staff were exceptionally friendly, and having a bus stop so close was exactly what I needed.”

8.1Verified guest

“The location was absolutely perfect, right in the middle of things, and the staff were exceptionally nice. Everything was fine. Last time I stopped, I had a large room with two beds, central heating, TV, and tea and coffee facilities. I loved my stay here.”

8.1Verified guest

“The staff and owner were all amiable and helpful. I got upgraded to a huge double with two beds. The location was particularly good and tranquil, just a short walk from the towering Asinelli and Garisenda. My visit here was delightful – friendly, accommodating, and a great location overall. I loved my stay.”
