About
Affittacamere Pratello 97
Affittacamere Pratello 97 is a bed & breakfast on Via Del Pratello, one of Bologna's most characterful streets. With just seven rooms, it keeps things simple: free Wi-Fi, daily cleaning, and a location that puts you within walking distance of the Basilica of San Petronio and Palazzo Comunale.
The building mixes old-school charm with practical comfort. Rooms look onto an inner courtyard and come with air conditioning, heating, and flat-screen TVs. The shared bathrooms are kept spotless, and the atmosphere is more guesthouse than hotel.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Prime location in Bologna's historic core — Guests consistently praise how easy it is to walk to Piazza Maggiore, the Basilica of San Petronio, and other historical sites – most within 15 minutes on foot. The street itself is known for its lively, artsy bars.
- Spotlessly clean rooms — Review after review highlights the cleanliness of both the rooms and shared bathrooms. The daily housekeeping seems to be a strong point, with several guests calling the spaces 'immaculate'.
- Friendly, helpful staff — The owner and staff are repeatedly described as kind, gentle, and welcoming, with one guest specifically naming Claudia for making them feel at home. Service gets a solid 8.1 rating, and the staff category scores 8.8.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small property, limited facilities — With just seven rooms, there's no on-site restaurant, gym, or common areas beyond what you'd expect from a B&B. Guests looking for full hotel amenities may find it basic.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, you'll need to make other arrangements. The property explicitly does not permit pets.
- Lively street could bring noise — Via Del Pratello is known for its bars and nightlife. While many guests find it charming, light sleepers might notice street noise, especially on weekends.
- Value rating slightly below other categories — At £79 per night, the price is reasonable for the location, but the value score is the weakest of all categories. Some guests may find the shared bathrooms a trade-off for the price.
