Pros:

Ein ordentliches Hotel mit zweckmäßig eingerichteten und ausgestatteten Zimmern, ideal für einen kurzen Aufenthalt. Sauber. Personal freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Die Lage ist ideal zwischen Bahnhof und Altstadt, zu Fuß vom Bahnhof gut erreichbar.
Gutes Frühstück mit frischem Obst und einer Auswahl verschiedener Cornetti, die über das Übliche hinaus geht. Auch Minisandwiches stehen bereit.
Vom Erker des Frühstücksraums aus kann man einen Blick auf den Kanal werfen.
Kostenlose Gepäckaufbewahrung.

Pros:

Dit is een héél charmant hotel.
Heel nostalgisch met klassieke inrichting en leuke oude voorwerpen. De ligging is ideaal. Niet te ver van het station, precies waar het centrum van Bologna begint.
Kamer was heel ruim.
Ontbijt was zonder meer prima.
Dus als we nog eens in Bologna komen: dan wordt het zeker dit hotel.

Net i personal amable
Pros:

El personal és molt amable, ens van deixar guardar les motxilles fins les 21h sense problema. És prou silenciós i el llit còmode. Proporcionen sabó i tovalloles.

Cons:

Decorat de manera prou antiga. Ens van donar l’hab num1 que està just davant de la recepció, si es vol una de més amunt s’ha de comunicar al moment de la reserva (vam arribar prou tard i l’hotel ja estava ple i no podíem fer cap canvi).

Have a great stay at Il canali Hotel
Pros:

Close to main Street, breakfast was good, service was excellent, spacious room with nostalgic decor. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Lift was convenient for upper floors

Cons:

Little bit of updating needed, shower stall needs replacing. Hard to open and close doors and mold in shower. Not the one plug available near bed for charging accessories.
