From: FRANZOSO ALBERTO
Date of Stay: January, 2007
Nice staying, but be careful: the “garage” mentioned on the facilities list does not mean a reserved parking, but a private parking area 300mt far away, 22€ per day! The receptionist smoked in the hall during night time, and the hall is not huge... But these have been the only two problems in an overall nice, central and quite accommodation.

I found the hotel located centrally enough being just off Via Indepenza though not in the prettier side of the city. Bulbs not working took 5 requests and 3 days to be replaced. Assistance with car hire, and a medical emergency was minimal to useless. The staff in the breakfast area were unpleasant each morning. This hotel is okay if you want somewhere reasonably central and moderately priced but it is with no frills. Bologna itself is well worth visiting

Convenient position. Quiet except for when the neighbouring business decided to cut a hole in the wall,on their side,using a jack hammer about six inches away from my head at 8 o` clock in the morning whilst we were still asleep! Warm and comfortable. Bathroom a good size and well lit. Excellent breakfast for Italy. Don`t read anything into the name Il Canale it`s nothing to do with what you see in Venice! All round not at all bad.

This was a difficult hotel to rate. We were in Bologna in early October 06. The good ratings come from the actual hotel we stayed at. The poor ratings come from the reality that the location of the Il Canale was not what we were told to expect. When we arrived, there was no room for us and it was only that the Zan hotels have other properties that we were given a nicer room in a nicer hotel in a better location. The Il Canale was located in a much less desirable part of Bologna and, on arriving, our greeting by the hotel staff was less than courteous and uncaring. Made us wonder if staff do not like working there.

I would like to advise that due to an error from my side the rooms booked were 2 singles and we were family of 4. The Hotel was fully booked, the lady at the reception desk handled the issue quite professionally and helped to solve the problem and managed to transfer us to another adjacent "Zanhotel" called "Tri Vecchi" which was an excellent choice to which I have marked my comments. I and my family really enjoyed the stay in the Tri Vecchi Hotel for the great hospitality that we were treated with and excellent location in Bologna. My great appreciation to the lady at the reception of "Zanhotel Il Canale" hotel and the staff of the Tri Vecchi Hotel . Also to Venere web site for the accurate, precise information and excellent service offered, I have recommended the site to other friends. Best Regards, SA - Nice shopping area close to the Old city. - First time in the beautiful city of Bologna.

The location of the hotel was good. However, finding the hotel by car was a bit difficult. The rooms and bathroom were very large and clean. The breakfast was excellent.

We only stayed one night at this hotel. We almost did not check in once we saw the place. Right next door is a shop that sells sex merchandise and we were afraid that the neighborhood was poor. After a closer look we decided that this was the only such shop and that the neighborhood was actually ok. The shop was upscale and there was no illicit activities in the area. The hotel was nice inside and was located right off a main street. The room was nice and the bath was ample. It is an easy walk from the train station. We would consider staying there again. The staff was helpful and even attempted to help us with restuarant reservations.

From: Jenkins Emma
Date of Stay: November, 2005
The location of Il Canale is great, on a quiet backstreet, less than 5 mins walk from the main Piazza Maggiore. The fact that there is no restaurant is in no way detrimental, as there are excellent cheap places to eat in the immediate vicinity. We had a few problems with our flights, and the lack of English spoken by the hotel staff was a little bit of a problem, but generally they were really welcoming and accomodating. Just take a dictionary! For the price, the rooms were clean and quiet - the bathroom had an excellent shower. I would thoroughly reommend this hotel to anyone visiting Bologna. Excellent location for access to the city, and a quiet, welcoming place that is very reasonably priced.
