Was clean enough. Elevator super tiny. Had breakfast which was nice. Off putting that staff would pick off fruit tray and eat with their fingers. While supposed to be working. May be a benefit of their job they can snack but at least use the utensils provided. Front desk staff lovely. Location excellent for walking and restaurants etc.

RIght in the city center with countless great restaurants and a wonderful gelato shop nearby. Easy access to train station, lots of busses, etc. Nice breakfast. Staff helpful. Only negatives were lack of comfortable sitting chair in room, and a bit too warm for me, coming from a quite cold climate. I would definitely stay again.

Fine little hotel

I got a fairly bare bones room with a small bed. Fine for a business meeting, but I definitely would have moved if I was on vacation. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was very nice. And it is *very* conveniently located to the historic area.

Great location and good for gluten free travellers

The hotel is in an excellent location for both the train station (12 min walk) in one direction and also the Piazza Maggiore and all the other amazing sites in the other direction (5 min walk). If you walk around the corner there are lots of bars and restaurants. The breakfast restaurant staff were all very helpful as my husband is coeliac and there was gluten free bread, and other breakfast carbs on the buffet in addition to a good spread for everyone else.

The location was very convenient and very close to the city center. The hotel itself was okay, obviously old and there were signs of disrepair throughout including peeling paint, broken cabinet door and old carpet. That said our room was still clean and comfortable if just a little musty, but we could have opened the window to fix that.

LOCATION Zanhotel Tre Vecchi is about a 10-min walk from the Univ. of Bologna. TRAVEL It is an 8-min walk from Bologna Centrale ~ Bologna’s main train stn (allow yourself about 10 mins if you have luggage, or prefer to walk slowly). ROOM & BATHROOM The room was tastefully decorated, though small. The hotel follows a green policy, providing premium toiletries in refillable dispensers, minimising single-use plastic containers. DINING OPTIONS The hotel opens out on to Via dell’Indipendenza ~ one of the main arteries in Bologna’s historic quarter, and a parade of restaurants, shops, cafés, and heritage architecture ~ leading from Bologna Centrale to Piazza Maggiore. STAFF The staff are warm, friendly, helpful. I wanted to make the pilgrimage on foot to the hilltop basilica of the Santuario della Madonna di San Luca, situated c. 3.5km from the city centre. Seeing my determination to do this on foot, and not take public transport, the receptionist kindly worked out the best/safest route for me on a map. The walk there and back was effortless. I had an early-morning train to Padova the next day, but was reassured breakfast in the restaurant would be ready before my departure. BREAKFAST PLENTY of excellent fresh fruit, yoghurts, juices, a selection of cold meats/cured meats and cheese, a selection of hot food items, and the most scrumptious cakes. SAFETY Being on the Via dell’Indipendenza, the Zanhotel Tre Vecchi is in a busy area of Bologna that feels safe.
