Zanhotel Regina - Bologna

Well located

Great location airport bus stops close by and just a short walk to the station. Lots of good bars and restaurants near by.

Relative to other Italian cities and even Bologne the Zanhotel is very good value, clean pretty quiet and well located I would stay there again. As with most hotels the double room is not spacious but good enough.

Because work in progress in hotel Regina we received a room from hotel Tre Vecchi (juste next to the Regina) which is a four stars hotel. Price very good for the location. Nice hotel (even if a little bit "old").

A Zanhotel survey asks me to recommend an audience for its hotel in Bologna. I find this hard to do because I cannot imagine any traveler who would be unhappy with the experience of staying there. The hotel is well-located for sites of historic and artistic interest as well as being surrounded by a variety of restaurants. It is certainly not a luxury hotel, but its rooms and services are comparable to those of much more expensive establishments.

Great hotel + fantastic value. The location was excellent – right in the heart of Bologna with easy access to the main train station. The service offered was very good, though I would have liked to have had internet access. The only issue was really that you could more or less hear everything that went on in the neighbouring rooms – not great. Besides this, I would definitely stay here again, should I be going back to Bologna.

Good stay, quite cheap but not exactly the cheapest. Choose it if you want something simple, good, near the center and the railway station.

My previously requested preferences about needed room were completely disappointed.

Spent 4 nights at Zanhotel Regina in march 2009. We have travelled frequently in Italy and this hotel is one of the best on basis of value for money. Room 353 adequate and clean, soundproofing ok, breakfast fine, location excellent. Yes: the shower is the smallest this side of a ww2 submarine's. No: the market noise did not disturb us. Hotel café/sidewalk terrace pleasant. Of course there's always something that could be improved, but to all these people bitching about things being better at home I'd like to put the question: Then why travel at all? There should always be a touch of the exciting unknown whem you travel - if not, better stay home.

First time in Bologna, on this occasion for a weekend break. I was very impressed with the Hotel Regina - the staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. The room was comfortable and well appointed. The location was excellent - easy to find (right on the main street, very convenient for airport transfers; close to the main attractions of the city and close to lots of good restaurants. I would definitely stay here again and have already recommended it to others. Great value for money too.

Nice place to stay!

Ottima rapporto qualità prezzo. Colazione molto varia e posizione centrale. Ci ritornerei. L.E.

The hotel Regina is very well situated in Bologna and reasonable in cost. Breakfast and service by bar staff good. Reception not welcoming at first, nor very helpful. But excellent hotel to which I shall return, and which I have recommended to friends.

This was our first time to Bologna, but have been often to Italy. hotel was situated good. welcoming was extremely unfriendly. The room was quiet small and overheated. the bedlinen was torn to pieces. Have booked several times with venere but this time oir choose was not so good.

We found the perfect quality vs. price relationship. Excellent service , perfect location, quiet and yet right in the center, good breakfast included, very clean room and bathroom, all at a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend this hotel to a friend.

The folks from the bar next door like to come outside to smoke and sing. It seems like a lot more people smoke in Europe than in the States. Bring your earplugs. Still, it was a very nice stay.

Could do with a better choise at breakfast. Coffee was nice but food was poor. Also ask your cleaners to move the beds when they do their cleaning.

The instructions about how to get to the hotel from the station are not very helpful. You need to cross the road in front of the station, turn left and walk down to the next major junction. Then turn right up that street. It is quite a distance with luggage. Otherwise I thought it was very good and good value.

Very nice and clean hotel located near the center. Unfortunately there is a bar next door with outside seating and people were very loud late into the night. The hotel people never asked them to quiet down.

Too many problems to relate all but a few were no room avilable when we arrived trierd to put us in a far inferior hotel broken toilet seat shae pin on floor when we arrived to name but a few

Needed to change room to one at the back away from the street because windows are not soundproofed. They were very kind people at reception & it was all in all a good place to stay close to where we wished to visit.

We had a triple room which was clearly a smokers room and smelt of stale cigerettes which was disgusting. The rooms could have been far cleaner generally but the smoke did not help. Reception had an awful musty smell and was totally unwelcoming. We were only in Bologna for 2 days and really, the hotel let us down.

Excelent localization. There is a public parking behind the hotel.

Excellent. Nice and quite hotel near Piazza Maggiore. I recommend it.

Not a bad hotel, but it's clearly seen better days. The communal areas appear to be in a better state of maintenance than the rooms and corridors which looked a little tatty in comparison to most of the places we've stayed in Italy. Not having visited Bologna before I didn't get a great sense of the location from the map on the website. The circle seems to be centred on the station area and not the old town/basillica square - which is surely the heart of Bologna? However that does make the location a convenient compromise if you're arriving by train. It's a relatively short walk from the station and then a little closer still to that historic square, just at the top of the street the hotel is situated on. The Italian breakfast was pretty good - with plenty on offer to help yourself to. We found dining in this city nicknamed 'the fat' slightly disappointing, but that's possibly because - as in most places in Italy - during August many places are shut, which possibly made the place seem a little less vibrant than it is at other times of the year. Bologna's medieval buildings and miles of terraced arcades are wonderful for all that.

This survey reflects our second stay. We had a very large room that was very quiet. The staff are very friendly and helpful. While they speak English, they were quite tolerant of my Italian.

The desk and colazione staff were great. Location was excellent being close to the train station. Nice shady area in front for caffe and drinks. We were there on two separate weeks and had two rooms: the first was on Indepenza and was noisy but the second was in the back and very quiet. Air conditioning could have been more effective, but it was very hot outside. We would stay there again.

Excelente ubicacion, recomiendo este hotel para quien desee estar a pocos pasos del centro historico, es muy agradable su ubicacion.

We were on a family holiday and thoroughly enjoyed our stad.

This is the second night of my jouney,but the hotel was in overbookinh ,so i've been moved to " Tre vecchi" hotel that is next to regina hotel, it's a 4 star category, but nothing more of regina Hotel.Thanks

The hotel was conveniently situated for the city centre and yet close to the railway station. The breakfast was excellent. We enjoyed our short stay.

We stayed in a double room. The Room was relatively small and very dimly lighted. Windows do not open easily. bk

Rooms are small and not especially comfortable. Showers are tiny. Service was very uneven. The hotel is located a few blocks from the old main square on a very commercial street. Overall the hotel was "okay" but nothing to write home about.

It was in a great location for walking to various sites and shopping. Easy to reach from the train station! The hotel was suitable for our needs. The shower was very small. The hotel staff didn't go out of their way to help us in any way as we experienced in all the other hotels in Italy. They weren't rude though just not as friendly and helpful.

La habitación triple era un poco escasa, y la ducha del baño diminuta y sin manguera de ducha, la movilidad muy reducida, casi no cabe. Pero el hotel en general es una monada, las zonas comunes con muy buen gusto, el desayuno exquisito y el servicio excelente. La ubicación inmejorable

First time in Bologna Surprising

Great location - right in the heart of Bologna. The hotel was lovely and warm. We had a super breakfast served in our room. We usually stay at Tre Vecchi hotel located just next door - same hotel group but 4 star - the only difference is the price Regina is €83 and Tre Vecchi €130.00! Only downside is that we requested twin room in our booking but there was none available when we arrived. Also a few things in the room not working - side table and wardrobe door. Note car parks costs €20.00 for the night.

I spent 1 week in Bologna for work (office was 200 mt far from hotel). The week was 17-21 Dec (the week after motorshow). The room (372) was quite and I liked the breakfast ( good italian breakfast ).

The shower bath place is very small became impossible catch the soup if its fall during the bath.

The rooms are not so big but the location is excellent.

Very comfortable business hotel within easy walking distance (10 minutes) with luggage from train station. Also 10 minutes from city center. Just off a busy main street but surrounded by excellent, reasonably priced restaurants and just a few blocks from the more local student areas. Excellent breakfast with fresh juices, fruit, meats and cheese, pastries, and coffee by order.

Excellent Breakfast - best anywhere! Whole 4th Floor very noisy (lift mechanism?) Were offered different room but too much effort to move!!

This was the first time that I stayed in Bologna. Whenever I will be back in this town I will visit the same hotel again Personnel was very friendly and accomodating. The room was not very big but adequate. The place is reasonably priced and situated at walking distance from the railway station. From there also the shuttle bus for the airport goes to and fro.

Halfway between railway station and main sqquare, with cathedral, public buildings, and fountain

La stanza che ho avuto non era rinnovata e non credo lo siano anche le altre. La TV in camera era vecchia e mal funzionante

La nostra esperienza è stata molto soddisfacente. quando siamo arrivati la stanza non era ancora pronta perchè la stavano pulendo ma non abbiamo avuto disagi perchè era ora di pranzo e siamo andati a mangiare; quando siamo tornati era pronta. per il resto non abbiamo avuto alcun problema; colazione abbondante e molto varia. la posizione dell'albergo poi è ottima per girare la città, proprio sulla strada principale.se dovessimo tornare a bologna sicuramente torneremmo in questo albergo.

I often stay in this hotel on many business trips to Bologna. Some rooms are a little small. The only major disappointment for business traveller is the lack of Internet access.

I go to Bologna regularly for business. I've stayed in this hotel several times. This is a nice hotel if the price is right despite the tiny bathroom in some rooms.

Ideally situated between the station and the main square. A little noisy outside the hotel at night due to students celebrating the exam results but certainly not enough to spoil an enjoyable stay. We would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Bologna.

Good location inbetween train stattion and town centre, good facilities, clean and tidy in room and bathroom, only stayed one night, would recommend for the same, but maybe a bit small for anything more than a couple of nights. very helpful and polite staff.

Great room and location. Staff was helpful and spoke great English. There were many Japanese staying here--they are sensitive to quality and location. Great shopping near by as well.

A disappointing return visit to this hotel: very small single room with no natural light. The location of the hotel is good - an easy 10 min walk to the main square or the railway station, and handy for the airport bus - but it was overpriced for the quality of the accommodation offered.

Excellent location, and quality of the service. Price is ok except for the breakfast.

Generally the hotel is quite good. It was the first time I stayed at the Zanhotel Regina.

Family of 5 travelling for pleasure. Accomodated need for triple room. Very small showers typical in Italy. Great Location.

Hotel was overbooked so they moved us to a 4 star right next door.

We loved this hotel and its in walking distance of the train station unless you have a lot of luggage,in which case a taxi is about 5euro....I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Bologna, its clean & very comfortable and breakfast is fabulous with meats and cheeses

I got a very very small room with a very little window and a wonderful view on a black backward. hopfully, it was only for one night.

10 mins walk from station and easy to find

Excellent accomadation and service,staff freindly and very accomadating,good location for all local services,exceptionally clean hotel,would rate above the 3* given,if in bologna again would not look for any other hotels,a definate must for any traveller.

When we arrived to the Regina Hotel we were asked to be at Tre Vecchi Hotel becouse there was some kind of works goin on. So our comentaries are referred to this hotel.

Great location! Right inside the ring and close enough the the railway to easily walk.

Very comfortable but the bathroom very cramped and mould was present in shower - a personal phobia.

Others have noted the size of the showers -- yes, they were small (think of showering in a phone booth), but we found the water pressure excellent, and the creativity of solving a space issue great. The hotel was located in a great area, and extremely quiet despite the market right outside on Friday and Saturdays. The staff was very friendly and courteous.

The hotels location is excellent!! The staff was friendly and spoke perfect english.

From the web page you don't understand that the parking is a public parking of the city and not a private one of the hotel; the differnce is important, because you have to pay 20 euro per day to leave the car!!!

Tradicional hotel, with a perfect capuccino. We enjoyed our stay, except for the noisy traffic. Even closed, the windows let us heard everything thats was going on in the street. We recomend!

Perfect point of departure in order to visit the center of the city. Optimal acceptance and service. Effectively a little noisy cause the street, the relationship between price/quality is really excellent.

The location of Regina is good for the access from the station and sight seeing. Clean hotel.

Very good hotel. It's only ten minutes by walk from the city centre (one direction) or from the station (opposite direction). The main quality is the good price/quality rate.

Room was good; location great; service friendly; a good recommondation for all looking for a decent price/quality ratio

Rooms at the fourth level are very, very noisy. In cannot be a 3 stars hôtel, because of this big noise. There is no garage but a parking which is not very kept. Our car has been broken in. (soory for my poor english)

This was a very nice hotel and very close to the train station and restaurants. If you want to be located right downtown this is a good choice and staff is very nice. There is a Brassarie right downstairs and in the AM can get coffee and danish, and in the afternoon wine or cocktails. We are also very impressed with this website and will recommend to others. We used your referrals and booked reservations at 4 different locations during our 3 week travels in Europe. Thank you so much! D. and P. Michalski- Orange County, CA USA
