Porta San Felice Relais - Apartment & Rooms
Bologna rooms with a view and a parking spot — genuinely rare.
A place to stay in Bologna
Porta San Felice Relais sits in Bologna, Italy, and runs as a small hotel with both rooms and apartments. Rates start at €98, and the property earns a 9.0/10 guest rating across 111 reviews — with staff, cleanliness, and comfort the most-cited strengths. Parking here is a practical differentiator in a city where it is rarely easy. A nearby parking garage handles reservations at €22 per day, with valet parking, accessible spaces, and an electric vehicle charging station all available. The Wi-Fi runs at 86 Mbps across the property.
Is this stay right for you?
A clean, well-run Bologna property with reliable parking, fast Wi-Fi, and city views — compact rooms with solid in-room kit.
Best for
- Drivers needing city-centre parking
- EV owners
- Couples or solo travellers
- Families (family rooms available)
Less suited to
- Travellers wanting a large room footprint
- Those seeking on-site dining
City views from both room types
Both the Deluxe Queen and Queen Room face the city. Given that most rooms at Bologna properties at this price point look onto internal courtyards or walls, having an outward-facing aspect is worth noting before you book.
Parking and EV charging on site
A nearby parking garage is available at €22 per day, bookable in advance. Valet parking, accessible spaces, and an electric vehicle charging station are all part of the set-up — practical kit for a city where car access is tightly regulated.
Tennis court access
A tennis court is available at the property — uncommon for a city hotel at this scale. It adds a physical option that most comparable Bologna properties simply do not have.
Tile and marble floors throughout
Rooms have tile and marble flooring, private entrances, and a seating area with a desk. The finish reads more like a refurbished Bolognese palazzo than a standard chain conversion.

Arriving in Bologna
Porta San Felice Relais - Apartment & Rooms is 4.8 km from Bologna Airport (BLQ), where the Marconi Express monorail runs to Bologna Centrale. Bologna Centrale station is about 1.6 km away, roughly a 20-minute walk. Bologna operates a ZTL limited-traffic zone in its historic centre, where cameras issue automatic fines to unauthorised vehicles. This property lists parking; properties inside a zone can usually register a guest's plate, so confirm access and arrival time before driving in. Italian cities charge a tourist tax (tassa di soggiorno) per person per night, collected by the property rather than included in the booking total; the rate depends on the city and the property's star rating, and many properties still take it in cash.
