About
Casa Alessandrini
Casa Alessandrini sits on Via Alessandrini, a short walk from Bologna's University and within easy reach of the train station and main square. This bed & breakfast occupies a historic building and offers a handful of recently renovated rooms, each with a modern bathroom, parquet floors, and thoughtful touches like a fridge, tea and coffee facilities, and a mini-bar.
The atmosphere is more guesthouse than hotel: the owner is hands-on, offering recommendations and assistance, and the ground-floor trattoria serves typical Italian breakfast. While the B&B is compact, it comes with practical extras like luggage storage, a locker room, and daily housekeeping. Public parking is available nearby, and the rooms are soundproofed and air-conditioned for a quiet stay in the busy center.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited on-site facilities — As a small bed & breakfast, there's no full-service restaurant (beyond the ground-floor trattoria) or extensive hotel amenities like a gym or spa.
- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is strictly between 15:00 and 20:30, which may be inconvenient for guests arriving later in the evening.
- No pets allowed — Travelers with pets won't be able to bring them along, as the property does not accommodate animals.
- Parking is not on-site — While public parking is available nearby, it's not a private hotel lot, so availability and cost are not guaranteed.
