UR-NEST Massarenti, Bologna Overview
UR-NEST Massarenti is located in Bologna, Italy. Rated 6.2 out of 10 based on 5 guest reviews.
UR-NEST Massarenti is a self-catering stay in Bologna, Italy, set on Via Massarenti 151 in a residential part of town that’s handy for getting around by car. The apartment setup is built for practical trips: you have a fully equipped kitchen for breakfasts and simple meals, plus free WiFi and air conditioning to keep things comfortable in Bologna’s changing temperatures. Non-smoking rooms and heating help you settle in quickly, and the property also lists family rooms, which can make day-to-day logistics easier when travelling with kids. Laundry is available as well, a detail that frequent visitors tend to appreciate on longer stays.
Guest feedback is mixed, with an overall rating of 6.2/10 based on five reviews, so it’s worth going in with realistic expectations and checking your priorities. Some travellers have highlighted the convenience of having parking on-site, while others suggest the experience may not feel consistently polished compared with higher-scoring stays. If you’re road-tripping, the free parking is a clear advantage; if you’re travelling with a pet, the hotel allows pets, which can be a deciding factor.
In terms of sightseeing, you can reach La Macchina del Tempo and Santo Stefano Church in about 4 km, and the Quadrilatero Bologna and Archiginnasio di Bologna are also roughly 4 km away for classic Bologna streets and historic sights. For a green break, Parco della Montagnola is around 3 km.
Best for families, pet-friendly road trips, and travellers who want an apartment-style base with kitchen access and free parking rather than a purely central, walk-everywhere location.
