If you are planning a trip to Bologna, Italy with kids, you might be wondering if staying in a family hotel is the best option. There are pros and cons to both family hotels and staying with locals, so it is important to weigh the pros and cons and make a decision that works best for your family.

Staying in a family hotel has many benefits. First, family hotels usually have larger rooms than standard rooms, which is important if you are travelling with kids. Second, family hotels typically have on-site restaurants and Kid's Clubs, so you don't have to go far for meals or for entertainment for the kids. Third, family hotels often offer discounts for kids, so you can save money on your trip.

However, there are some drawbacks to staying in a family hotel. First, family hotel rates can be more expensive than standard hotel rates. Second, you may have less privacy if you are travelling with kids. Third, you may have less flexibility in your schedule if you are relying on the hotel for meals and entertainment.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to stay in a family hotel or stay with locals depends on your family's needs and preferences. If you are looking for convenience and want the kids to be entertained, then a family hotel is a good option. If you are looking for a more authentic Italian experience and are happy to entertain the kids on your own, then staying with locals is a better option.
