What guests think

Across recent reviews, Zanhotel Europa stands out for its very convenient location near Bologna Centrale and a walk to the center, generally friendly staff, and a well‑liked breakfast, though overall experiences with rooms and facilities can vary.

Many guests describe clean rooms and common areas, with a few noting issues like bathroom mold or hallway carpet odors. Rooms are comfortable for most, yet feedback repeats about dated decor, small showers, thin walls, and inconsistent temperature control, including overly warm rooms or non‑functioning air conditioning. A few reviewers felt the surrounding area was less comfortable at night. Overall, it is a practical base for train travelers and city visits, with comfort that can depend on the specific room.

This hotel is right outside the restricted area, so it’s much easier drive and park your car. It’s an older hotel, walking distance to the center of town and it was less expensive.

Rooms ere big and clean BUT hallways had a carpet with a smell (something that will make your nose itch) I think they need to replace it. They offered buffet style breakfast like all the hotels BUT this was OK good. They have parking 1/2 a block away and easy to park.

L'hotel è molto bello, accessibile e ha un comodo parcheggio. L'unico appunto che mi sento di fare è che è troppo caldo, ci saranno almeno 24 gradi nelle stanze, per non dire dei corridoi. E anche regolando il termostato non si riesce a tirare giù la temperatura. La notte ho dormito male perchè se mi scoprivo avevo fresco, se mi coprivo col PIUMINO avevo caldo e non c'era via di mezzo. Se vi lamentate per le troppe spese di riscaldamento abbassate di almeno 2 gradi, che risparmiate tanto.

Reservé este hotel guiándome por reseñas anteriores y realmente ha sido genial. Tienen personal en recepción las 24 hs. El hotel es antiguo pero hermoso! Desde alli llegas al centro de Bologna en 10/15 minutos caminando. También es pet friendly, el personal es super amable y siempre están dispuestos a colaborar con lo que necesites para hacer tu estancia agradable. También es posible dejar el equipaje unas horas luego del check out, lo cual para nosotros fue ideal y nos permitió recorrer un poco mas la ciudad antes de partir al aeropuerto.

We only had a small issue when we asked to be allowed to stay for a late check out and the morning desk clerk was not informed, she was rude and then when we asked for a hair dryer, the one she provided was the smallest thing ever and it had a gross sticky handle, other than that the room and area are great.

Hotellet visade sig inte vara så centralt som det utgav sig för att vara. Över en kilometer in till centrala Bologna, vilket kändes lite långt. Många skumma personer runt kvarteret, vilket gjorde att man kände sig otrygg främt på kvällarna. Sjävla hotellet var ok och hade bra rum och trevlig service.
