About

B&B Marykey - Bologna

B&B Marykey is a compact 2-star bed and breakfast set in a historic building on Via De' Gombruti, in the very heart of Bologna. Its location puts you within a short walk of Piazza Maggiore, the Nettuno fountain, and the Cathedral of San Petronio, as well as culture-oriented attractions like La Macchina del Tempo, 1.3 km away.

Rooms are simple but well-equipped, with parquet floors, flat-screen TVs, tea and coffee facilities, and either city or garden views. Each room has its own private bathroom — some are external to the room — and breakfast is served in your room, with pastries, coffee, and juice. There is no lift, and the property is not suitable for guests with limited mobility, but the location and personalized service make it a practical base for exploring.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — If you travel with a dog or cat, this B&B isn't an option.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 12:00 and 22:00, so late arrivals require planning.
  • External bathrooms on some rooms — Triple and double room options have a private external bathroom, not ensuite.
  • No on-site parking mentioned — Parking is not listed, so guests arriving by car will need to find public parking in the center.

“Francesco was an amazing host — very organized and friendly. His morning cappuccinos were outstanding. The location was stunning, just 10 minutes from the airport bus stop and close to the main shopping street. The private bathroom and shower were spotless. Breakfast pastries, coffee, and juice were delicious. The room was spacious, even the bathroom. Staff were helpful and friendly. We'll definitely come back on our next visit.”
