We had a wonderful stay at this hotel, returning to the UK on 30th October.
The hotel truly lives up to its five stars. Everything, from the room, the restaurant, the facilities are excellent - however there are two things which really stand out: firstly the staff - they are amazing. They will do anything to help and they do it with a genuine smile. This applies to the lovely gentleman who opens the front doors, to the reception staff, to the breakfast staff. Secondly, don't miss breakfast!!...

Beautiful building in a leafy suburb a short walk from the old town.
Riccardo was very helpful and friendly.
The website doesn't highlight the limited check-in times very clearly. We arrived after 8pm and Riccardo arranged for our keys to be in a lockbox which worked well. There is gated parking at the property.
Our private bathroom was across the main entrance hall which was a bit weird. That's only the case for Bedroom 3 - the other rooms are ensuite.
Definitely recommended.

The attention and helpfulness of the staff. Very friendly, efficient and courteous. Everyone in the hotel "did their bit" including the staff who cleaned the rooms. Excellent! Would thoroughly recommend.

Centrally located near lots of great bars and restaurants. Lovely clean apartments and well equipped. Do read the information in the kitchen. All the wine left in the fridge and kitchen is chargeable if you did not book through their website. Would have been nice to be free for all guests. Also ensure you use the shower mat when stepping out of the shower. The bathroom floor when wet is like an ice rink and unbelievably slippy. Nearly had a nasty fall.

I had a great stay for 4 nights in early December. I would really recommend the hotel and would love to stay again in future.
Lovely room - spacious, comfortable, huge bed, and very grand. We overlooked the internal courtyard which was a bonus as it's quieter than the main street.
Breakfast was delicious - a great all-you-can-eat buffet of croissants, jams, eggs, bacon, cheeses, meats, cereal, fruit, yoghurts, cakes, coffees, teas, juices, etc - and the staff were very friendly. Each morning...

With only 30 hrs to explore Bologna and travelling on my own, I wanted somewhere central and comfortable but not too expensive. I couldn't have been happier with the Hotel Touring. I arrived about 11am so hoped I could leave my luggage but didn't expect to be able to check in. I was made welcome (in excellent English) and told my luggage would be waiting for me in my room on my return, which it was. The room (on the second floor) had a double, rather than a single, bed and overlooked a quiet...

Beautiful setting. Upgraded to a lovely old cottage - large room, direct access to garden, elegant decor, big bathroom , first rate a/c.
Excellent poolside restaurant, quality breakfast in sunken grotto.
Secure underground onsite parking.
Only minus was lack of lighting in room - only 2 bedside lights - other main light switched off after a few seconds, no way to keep it on.
