The hotel staff were really lovely - friendly and helpful. They agreed to keep reception open for us when our flight was delayed and didnt rush us in when we finally got there. They also really helped us with our onward journey plans and there was no problem with leaving our bags during the day while we wandered round the city.
Super Unterkunft, vor allem für den Preis. Freudliches Personal, sehr zentrale Lage. Leider etwas hellhörig.

Fick inte tillträde till rummet förrän ett par timmar senare än vad som stod i informationen. Sen fick vi argumentera för att behålla rummet, de ville få ut oss 10.00. Läget är perfekt!

Hotel review for Il Canale
Quaint hotel in the heart of Bologna.
Plain room and furnishings
Comfortable bed
Very thin walls-you can hear everyone talking and walking around.
Wow! Super location. Nice staff that went above and beyond for us.

Dated but nice location
The location is great - close to the centre and by the canal. The staff were helpful, too. My single room had no exterior window, but they changed it when I asked. The decor of the hotel is very old fashioned, and the room small, but it was clean
Wenn ich einen Wasserkocher und einen kleinen Kühlschrank zur Verfügung habe (covidsgemäß kein Frühstück möglich), bin ich schon sehr zufrieden. Top-Lage. Super heiß im Zimmer, schade, man musste die ganze Zeit Fenster offen halten (Fenster auf einen Innengarten, für eine Nacht gar kein Problem).
Michele nous a accueillies avec bienveillance et gentillesse, rendant notre séjour très agréable. La déco atypique est remarquable, beaucoup de confort, rien à redire!
Camera e bagno privato molto puliti. Posizione centralissima. Stanza silenziosa. Personale molto cortese.

Solide Wahl
Die Lage ist top: zentral aber sehr ruhig. Das Personal war freundlich und zuvorkommend. Kommunikation auf Englisch war problemlos. Das Hotel bietet keinen besonderen Luxus, ist aber eine solide Wahl, um Bologna ein paar Tage zu entdecken.
Amazing location in the heart of the old town with many restaurants and shops only a short walk away. The hotel is quirky but that is not a bad thing as it is very original and more boutique than the standard chain hotels. Staff incredibly friendly. Minor issues such as the bathroom radiator not working but if you left door open it would get heat from the room so no great issue. WiFi really strong and can even stream.
