My husband and I have just arrived home from a four nights stay in Bologna at Zanhotel Il Canale. The rooms are small but very clean, as is the bathroom. Clean sheets and towels every day. The staff are very helpful and accommodating and always greet you with a smile. Breakfast was adequate for a start to your day. It... More

We spent two nights at Il Canale. The hotel is extremely well located, just a few steps away from Via Indipendenza and Piazza Maggiore. Our room was quite small, hot, rather dark, but quite. The bathroom was large and clean. Breakfast was fine, though quite standard. Service staff was very helpful and efficient. Parking is an issue. All in all,... More

We stayed at Il Canale Hotel for almost a week and found it very central, very quiet and very pleasant. The room was spacious, had shower (and no bath) and was nicely decorated, The heater worked perfectly and that was very appreciable as it was anormally cold outside... We had a nice view on Il Canale and on old buildings... More

Good location (may be a 10 min enjoyable walk to Piazza Maggiore) on a quite street. Yes there is a sex shop right next door but it is not what you may think… neighborhood is perfectly safe. 

Rooms are small (room 30 over looking the small court yard) and the bath is okay size with a small stall shower. Need... More

My partner and I and our two dear friends stayed at the Zanhotel il Canale in Bologna. The customer service (especially Giovanna) was very good. The hotel's location is a bit out of the way but you'll find yourself at the train station in minutes or major sites after a good walk. The rooms are small, the beds are very... More

I had visited this hotel a few years ago and I really liked it so on my last visit to Bologna I decided to stay there. The hotel is ok, but it really needs some maintainence, the carpet is not as fresh as it used to be for instance. Our room had a nice view, but it was really dark... More

If you like to stay in small hotels then this one is perfect and for a reasonable price. Service is excellent and you can get a lot of information about... More

Location is just a few blocks from Piazza Maggiore, within walking distance from the train station if you don't have too much luggage (or a cheap cab ride). Desk clerk was very helpful, even pointed out that the 5 of us could save money hiring a cab to take us to the airport rather than taking the Aerobus from the... More
