The room was clean and fine for the price however there was no ventilation- we were a bit warm after traveling all day and there was no air conditioning, or even a fan. The staff said it was turned off for the winter (it was April), so we had to sleep with the windows open and our room was on the street- with people going to the train station nearby all night, it was really loud and hard to sleep.

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.

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.

The location was very convenient and very close to the city center.

That said our room was still clean and comfortable if just a little musty, but we could have opened the window to fix that.

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.

Terrible Hotel

Rude service. Room was small and very dirty and outdated. I checked in and immediately (5mins) went back down after seeing the room. Decided not to stay as there are plenty of other options abs was told they had to charge me for one night anyway as I had checked in. Paid it just to get out of there. Would highly recommend skipping this establishment.

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.

This is a beautiful hotel, however it is outdated management needs to invest and make it great again, the carpet and paper in the walls need to be replaced; the furniture and the decoration is like from the 80s; staff is very nice, they tried to do their best but hotel’s owners need to invest otherwise people will stop going to the hotel

Worst stay in Italy

We booked 2 rooms. The worst in the hotel. 144 and 146. 144 had almost no working functions- lights, no AC, cold shower. Room 146 was positioned directly across from the cleaning rooms thus doors opening and people talking at 7:30 or earlier. The host behind the desk, older man, was not very helpful or had an “attitude”. I felt we rec’d the worst rooms in the old section of the hotel because we booked on this site. Our friends in 144 complained and were moved to the new section in a better room. We had cold water the first morning and barely warm the next 2 mornings.

The Heating / Air Conditioning system in the room would only work on heat. The room was like a sauna. The only way to cool the room was to open the window, which 1) had no screen to keep out insects, and 2) allowed the street noise to enter the room. The Assistant manager at the front desk was NOT even interested in addressing the situation. Worst night I have ever spent in an otherwise nice hotel.

City centre hotel

Great location in the centre of town - only 10 min easy walk from the train station. The hotel is set back from a busy main road with a small garden and seating area in front. Our room looked over the road but there was no noise as long as the window was shut. ( the air conditioning was very effective and quiet.) We found the reception staff efficient but rather serious while the other staff in the hotel were helpful and cheerful. Our room was very clean and comfortable - bedding and town were changed every day. Breakfast was in an underground room full of mirrors - quality and choice was very good. Overall a great hotel fir our city break.

Beautiful!

The Hotel Tre Vecchi is well positioned in the old city and is really close to all the main sights, i.e. within a few minutes one can be at the Medieval Museum, Neptune's Fountain, the towers, and the main square where one can catch tourist busses. In the opposite direction in minutes one can be at the train or coach station and within 15 minutes (at a slow pace) one can reach MAMBo. There is a taxi rank outside for those who don't want to walk.
The hotel has the character and style of many Italian hotels and offers a cool and comfortable lobby and lavishly decorated rooms. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom spacious, and the air-conditioning excellent.
Breakfast was really good; food was fresh, delicious and plentiful.
The staff were marvellous and I cannot thank them enough for their kindness (I asked many questions)... and the housekeeping team were wonderful and very fast.
This is an excellent hotel and I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Nice Hotel in the heart of town!

Bologna and Hotel Tre Vecchi were both pleasant surprises. The facility was solid and the staff was eager to help wherever they could. They provided great instructions on the layout of the town, the highlights and provided exceptional restaurant recommendations.

The Breakfast was absolutely solid - however, the scrambled eggs were \"interesting\" (not recommended); everything else was exceptional.

The location was incredible - not far from the Train Station - but, far enough away that you didn't have to deal with the standard \"Train Station\" issues. The hotel was definitely walking distance from the center of town; but far enough away that it was quiet at night.

Overall, one of the best hotels we experienced on this trip.

AC didn't work

The hotel was advertised as having AC and it was not working. It was 85 outside so very warm inside. Hotel staff were unapologetic and not able to say if it was being fixed.

Mould In Bathroom

Bathroom shower was badly fitted, you had to hold the shower rose as no rail fitted, mould around the shower both inside and out, not pleasant. Would not recommend, however the location could not have been better.

Established hotel in a handy city-centre location

We stayed here for three nights. The hotel is older-style (perhaps even a little faded!) but nevertheless comfortable and with helpful, friendly staff - it was very good value for money, given its location. It's very well located on the main street through the city leading to Piazza del Nettuno - but it's set back from the street by gardens and trees so our room, although street facing, wasn't noisy. Breakfast was an excellent choice of buffet.

Great Hotel in a wonderful location.

Hotel is within walking distance from the train station. Centrally located in the shopping district and very convenient to the historical center

Good Location but not a 4 Star Hotel

This hotel is badly in need of investment.

Reception staff were unwelcoming throughout the stay and seemed disinterested in guests. For example if you wanted a drink in the bar, had to wait for the duty porter to become available as reception staff in adjoining area would not assist even if they were not busy.

Room was large but very outdated, carpet was badly stained, toilet never stopped running, tiles were cracked and grouting mouldy in parts or missing etc. Hose to the hairdryer had a two inch slash in it which made it ineffective and a potential health hazard.

Breakfast was poor, both in terms of organisation and quality/range of food on offer.

If you wanted a drink in the bar, had to wait for the duty porter to become available.

Location is good with a 10 minute walk to the centre and a 15 minute walk to the railway station.

Very central and walking distance

Easy to find and 10mins walk with case from train station. The hotel looks lovely as you arrive. It is a nice clean hotel, no real character, just does what it needs to! Basic room just like any premiere inn hotel really. Not much to say about it. Central, clean and reasonable breakfast. Would stay again if going back.

Charming Hotel, great location but uncomfortable.

We arrived just after midnight. It was a cool, rainy night. Our room was uncomfortably warm and we couldn't bring the temperature down in spite of opening the large window overlooking the Via dell'Indipendenza. The buzz from conversations echoed through the portici lining the streets from Friday night student revelers. We changed rooms the next morning. Still too warm, but quieter with the window open. The hotel has a great location near the center of old Bologna, halfway to the train station.

Hotel in the centre of Bologna

Let me start by saying that the hotel was very well placed for shopping & sightseeing, & the beds were very comfortable. The decor in the hotel is very OTT for my personal taste, lots of gold swirls ,mirrors & frilly curtains, but that IS just personal taste. The rooms were comfortable, and the housekeeping was exemplary. Whilst being greeted warmly initially, our reporting that our shower had no shower head was not received very well & it was suggested that we use the shower without the rosette head. The shower tray was so chipped that at first I thought it was dirty. (it wasn't) Ultimately, we changed rooms, but although a no smoking room, it smelled strongly of cigarettes. We were told it was the only non smoking twin room available & to open the window. The following day we discovered the jacuzzi bath leaked from underneath when the bath water or shower water went down the plug, & flooded so badly that if we didn't put lots of towels against theside of the bath it ran out the bathroom and onto the room carpet. The safe had been removed from the wardrobe. Assuming the safe in the first room is the same in all rooms, it should be noted that it was not big enough to take a tablet.

Good position, terrible staff

I can see why so many people book this hotel: they are in the Main Street and you can walk everywhere!! This is great but they should considere to change different members of the staff as they are really unhelpful and rude at the reception!!! Normal breakfast for European standard, tasty cakes but also there it was too busy, difficult to find a table and there were only two members of staff who had to clean tables, prepare coffees etc.. a bit of a mess

Not sure about the star rating

Hotel was fine for our purposes in that it is centrally located and well heated in winter, with wifi.
Our shower head was damaged (water went everywhere and the whole bathroom smelt like drains). When we told them they did change it for a functioning head but they didn't apologise for the inconvenience.
The city tax was more than stated on here (it's 2 euro a day, not 1.50) and when I told them that they should update this site, they didn't seem to care. Breakfast was simple and not super good but okay for a short stay if you're not too fussed about that as a meal.

Nice hotel right in the heart of the city.

The hotel is nice and staff are very friendly and helpful. The location is great. The decoration is slightly dated and the breakfast could be better (although from what I know it's a good breakfast given that breakfast in Italy apparently isn't as elaborate as in Germany or the UK etc. - excuse the stereotype!).

Fine place to stay

Great location to explore Bologna from and also near train station so easy to do day trips to Venice, Florence etc too. Clean and comfortable rooms and adequate breakfast so all fine for a short break in our view.
