Room & Breakfast Olmo Tondo, Bologna Overview
Room & Breakfast Olmo Tondo is a 3-star hotel in Bologna, Italy.
Room & Breakfast Olmo Tondo is a 3-star base in Bologna, Italy, set on Via Bologna 162 for travelers who want straightforward access to the city while keeping the day-to-day stay calm. Guests typically appreciate the practical setup: free wired internet for planning your itinerary, non-smoking throughout for a fresher feel, and express check-in/check-out that helps when you’re moving between meetings and sightseeing. The property also works well for people traveling with pets, which is often noted as a relief for those who don’t want to leave companions behind.
The “room & breakfast” format suits mornings that start unhurried, with breakfast included and the rest of the day left open for Bologna’s sights. Reviewers frequently mention the convenience of having on-site self parking available for a surcharge, plus discounted offsite parking rates when you want to keep costs predictable. If your schedule is tight, the option of shuttle service for an additional charge and airport transportation pickup can reduce the hassle of coordinating arrivals and departures.
In terms of nearby highlights, Unipol Arena is about 4 km away for events, while MAMbo (Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna) is roughly 8 km for contemporary art. For the classic Bologna skyline, the Two Towers (Le Due Torri) are around 9 km, and Santuario della Madonna di San Luca sits about 12 km out for a rewarding uphill walk.
Best for couples, solo explorers, and business travelers who value efficient logistics, pet-friendly policies, and reliable connectivity more than being right in the historic centre.

Worth considering if you want a simple, comfortable 3-star base with breakfast and practical services like express check-in/out and free wired internet. It’s likely best for travelers who value convenience and are okay with a location in San Giovanni in Persiceto rather than central Bologna.

- Pet owners traveling with pets, since pets are allowed
- Travelers who prefer a quieter, non-smoking stay and want an easy logistics setup (shuttle and airport pickup available for an extra charge)

What to Expect

The stay feels calm and practical, with non-smoking rooms and a private bathroom, plus a desk for getting settled. In the mornings, you’ll start with breakfast as part of the room and breakfast concept, then plan your day using the convenience of onsite logistics like discounted offsite parking and available shuttle or airport pickup for an extra charge.

Location Intelligence
The hotel is described as being in San Giovanni in Persiceto, with an address on Via Bologna 162, so plan for local travel rather than assuming you’re in the middle of Bologna.
