Hotel Details

Location

Zambo Residence sits right in the historic city centre of Bologna, surrounded by restaurants, bars, and main sights.

Located in a historic palazzo in the university quarter, the property is a 2-minute walk from La Macchina del Tempo and 600 metres from Santo Stefano Church. Piazza Maggiore is reachable in 8 minutes on foot, while MAMbo is 2 km away. Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport is 12 km from the residence. The area is lively with numerous dining spots within 300 metres - including Empire English Pub, KOI Fashion Health Food, and Piadinoteca Pappappero. The central railway station is a comfortable walk, making arrival by train practical. At night, the area remains quiet despite the central busyness.

Fully renovated, modern rooms with parquet floors, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and private bathrooms.

Each room features parquet flooring, a flat-screen TV, a refrigerator, and a private bathroom with a shower and hairdryer. Free toiletries and a wardrobe are provided. The quadruple room offers 3 beds and a patio; the triple room has 2 beds and a patio; the double room is a comfortable one-bed unit. All rooms are non-smoking and include heating and air conditioning. The accommodation is noted for being spacious and quiet, with newly updated interiors. Daily housekeeping includes bed-making and towel changes on request. The property is housed in a historic palazzo, and rooms facing away from the street offer very good sound insulation.

Dining

No breakfast is served at the property, but the surrounding streets are packed with cafés, bistros, and pizzerias.

Zambo Residence does not offer an on-site breakfast, restaurant, or bar. The location compensates with a dense choice of nearby eateries less than 5 minutes away, including Trattoria Anna Maria, DOC Lounge Bar, and Piadinoteca Pappappero. Several bakeries and cafés serve morning pastries and coffee. For evening dining, options range from traditional trattorias to international cuisine. Guests looking for a quick snack or drink will find bars and pizzerias within a few steps.
