Albergo Panorama

Bologna


Tucked just off Via Ugo Bassi (pedestrianised on weekends), this cheerful old-school family pensione has 10 spacious rooms with upgraded flat-screen TVs, heaters and new mattresses, most with parquet and/or marble floors, and half offering lovely panoramic views of nearby palazzi, towers and flowery terraces. The lone room with bathroom costs €20 to €35 extra depending on occupancy.

English and French are spoken (along with Chinese and Russian in the mornings). The owners also run a B&B with massive rooms in the same building.
