“Hotel Metropolitan strikes me as a smart choice in Bologna, blending a central location near Piazza Maggiore with a surprisingly quiet atmosphere; plus, that rooftop terrace is a real find. The modern, boutique feel extends to the immaculate rooms and attentive service, making it a standout for its refined yet comfortable experience. I'd recommend it without hesitation.”
