About

Le Stanze Del Carro By Short Holidays

Le Stanze Del Carro is a small hotel set in a beautiful old building in Bologna's historic centre. The location puts you within a few minutes' walk of the university area, the iconic twin towers, and the atmospheric canals of La Piccola Venezia. Rooms are spacious and tastefully furnished, each with a private bathroom, and the atmosphere is more like a welcoming guesthouse than a standard hotel.

Breakfast is a highlight, with a generous selection of products and the freedom to use the breakfast room for tea, coffee, and homemade cakes at any hour. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and helpful, and the self check-in process via codes makes arrival straightforward. Free Wi-Fi, an electric kettle, and cots are available for families.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Some staff can be overly relaxed — A couple of guests felt service was a bit laid-back, even during a otherwise positive stay.
  • No central air conditioning in all rooms — One review mentions 'good climatization', but there is no explicit air conditioning listed among amenities, so it may vary by room.
  • Small hotel with limited on-site facilities — Being a small B&B, there is no elevator or extensive facilities; the breakfast room doubles as a lounge.
