  • Room: Rating of 4.3 out of 5

    "Unfortunatly we visted Bologna during one of their conference and the Baglioni was the only place with a room available at 400 Euros a night. The room was tiny and faded, the carpets in the hallways were threadbare in spots and they seemed woefully understaffed even though they knew they had a full hotel." source Venere
