Advantages: centrally located, large rooms, excellent value Disadvantages: some rooms on the top floor too hot in winter
I know the Palace Hotel in Bologna because I stayed there every year when we had our annual teachers' conference. I would say it is a
superior three star hotel.
First the location- it is very central just a few minutes walk from the main square Piazza Maggiore. It is tucked away in a small street off the main Via dell'Indipendenza.
The organisation I worked for chose the hotel I think because of its central location and also because it has a large number of rooms. All are comfortable and perfectly well appointed. There is a certain old world style reception area. The quality price trade -off is just right.
Breakfast is usually included and is more than adequate. They had a full breakfast bar the last time I was there and you can order coffee or tea from the staff. They have great cornetti as well which are fresh every morning ...
Advantages: Funny with some great description of the city Disadvantages: Not a serious crime thriller, not many suspects

For my last birthday I’ve been on holiday in Italy and the days I spent in Venice were the most amazing! lt’s a very picturesque city and rich of history. People are so welcoming and available; thanks to them and their suggestions I savored delicious characteristic dishes. Walking around the river basin of Saint Marco, l fortunately discovered a cool environment called I Tre Mercanti. Here I bought several types of wine and food specialties, as the typical venetian cookies “Buranei”, a particular chocolate spiced with “Amarone” wine and some traditional handmade pasta. When I came back my friends tasted all of these delicacies and they had appreciated them. So l think I will buy to each of them one of these specialties as Christmas gifts directly in the online shop from the web site www.itremercanti.it where l can choose among so many ...

Manufacturer's product description
You will find Zanhotel Tre Vecchi under a characteristic portico, in an antique building of the main street of Bologna. The name dates back at least one hundred years when the then hotel and restaurant was entitled \\\Tre Vecchi\\\" or rather \\\"Three Old Men\\\". It is believed the hotel was run by three old men. The elegant hotel building, which dates back to around 1830, has belonged to the Zan family since 1984. The most recent renovation work was carried in 2000. The bedrooms have been tastefully decorated and will welcome you in an intimate and peaceful environment."
