Smart Hotel Autodromo
Budget-friendly Imola base close to the circuit's namesake
About this hotel
Smart Hotel Autodromo, named after the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari itself, is one of the more budget-friendly options in Imola on this list at 2 stars, while still covering the practical essentials. Air-conditioned rooms come with private bathrooms and bidets, plus free WiFi, a work desk, TV and wardrobe. Outdoor spaces are a genuine strength here: guests can relax in the garden or on the terrace, use the outdoor dining area, and take advantage of picnic facilities and dedicated bicycle parking, useful for fans cycling to the circuit rather than driving. The hotel holds a 7.4 rating from 386 guest reviews, a reasonable score for a hotel prioritising value over extras.

Our take
A sensible budget pick for fans who want to keep accommodation costs down without giving up the practical basics, especially those planning to cycle to the track given the dedicated bicycle parking. The outdoor dining area and garden are a pleasant bonus rather than something to expect at this price point.
- ✓Use the dedicated bicycle parking if cycling to the Autodromo rather than driving, cutting out parking stress entirely.
- ✓Eat in the outdoor dining area on a warm race evening rather than heading into central Imola.
- ✓Book early for a Grand Prix weekend, since budget-friendly options like this tend to sell out fast.
