What guests think

At Phi Hotel Bologna, travelers consistently praise the unbeatable central location near Piazza Maggiore, warm and helpful staff, and a generous breakfast, with many also noting clean accommodations and comfortable beds across both standard rooms and the nearby annex apartments.

Rooms vary in size and style; while several are spacious, others feel small or a bit dated, and the quirky decor is not for everyone. Recurring niggles include occasional maintenance or temperature issues, some street noise, and difficult, expensive parking in the historic center. Expect a characterful, centrally placed stay best for exploring on foot.

Facilities

On-site restaurant is well regarded. Paid garage parking is available but expensive and tricky to access, and driving into the center can be challenging.

Phi hotel is right in the heart of the old town, within a few minutes walk to the main square. We stayed at an annexed apartment that's really spacious, with a kitchen, two bedrooms and bathrooms. The is parking for an additional fee, it's very tight and I had to be very careful to get in and out. However, a hotel staff was there to provide guidance which was a big help. We didn't need the car while we stayed at the hotel, and walked everywhere since it's so close to the old town center. I'd definitely recommend this hotel for staying in Bologna.

The location is perfect. The staff behind the front desk and in the breakfast room was excellent. The breakfast itself was very good. The bed, the pillows were superior. The shower was great. On the minus side was the parking (difficult access so we didn’t use the car). The room decoration (a bit too funky to our taste, but not a big deal. Overall all a great place

Hôtel très bien situé et option de stationnement garage très pratique (45 euros/nuit) car en ZTL. Le personnel est très accueillant et vraiment très attentionné. Le petit déjeuner est varié et très bon. Le seul bémol, le bruit très tôt le matin par le personnel de ménage… Sinon je recommande pour visiter Bologne. De très bons restaurants autour de l’hôtel.

The stay is good. Location is great and easily accessible to the tourist attractions. Only thing for future travellers to take note is the driving to the hotel is horrendous. There was a road closure for a particular road and we are not able to drive to the hotel. It took us nearly two hours to get there and we finally gave up. The hotel should have given us a better instruction on how we can make a detour to avoid the road closure. In the end , we parked our vehicle around 800 meters away and carry our luggage all the way to the hotel.

Quirky artistic decor which was unique to every room. Clean, bright and good facilities in the rooms, comfy beds. Warm welcome and friendly helpful staff. Great breakfast with lots of choice. A nice lounge area for guests. Very convenient location, although noisy (not in the hotel’s control, to be expected on a busy street in the heart of the old town). We were sorry to only stay one night - would definitely choose again!

Both the hotel and the staff deserve the highest marks. The hotel has been fully renovated and is in superb condition. The rooms are comfortable, and bathrooms are great as well. Staff were very welcoming (arriving at 3 pm at 35C it felt really nice to be offered a drink at the check-in). As for location, it is one minute walk to Piazza Maggiore and the Neptune fountain. Superb. Expensive, but at least one knows what the price is for, in contrast to the same chain's hotel Canal Grande in Modena.

Overall, an ok stay at this hotel. It was centrally located - just a block away from Piazza Maggiore and the main basilica. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was uniquely decorated. The complimentary breakfast buffet was extensive and delicious. Unfortunately, the room itself was small small small small. It was barely big enough to fit a travel cot for my 3-year-old daughter. It was quiet, but we could still hear people on the street and noises from neighboring rooms. The bathroom looked old, and for a 4-star hotel, I was definitely expecting something more modern or more elegant. I'd probably stay elsewhere for my next visit to Bologna.

We met with my wife in Bologna as she was on a business trip and we stayed in the JFK room. The room is quirky but big and comfortable. On arrival we were greeted with Prosecco on ice, which was a very nice touch. The breakfast is compact but very tasty. The staff is always smiling and helpful. When our flight got cancelled we asked to stay one more night but all the rooms were fully booked so we moved into one of their apartments which is locates in a building on the same street. That also was big and comfortable and does have an elevator for your bags. The location of the hotel is incredible, smack down in the middle of everything but somehow not noisy or chaotic. Would definitely go back and stay there.

Overall happy with this hotel. Great location. Super nice staff. Offer of prosecco or other drink at check in. I stayed in apt that was separate from hotel a couple hundred feet away. It was fine. Minor complaints: room not ready for early check in. Pretty typical for Europe but it’s always a wow when the room is available. The air conditioner made a humming noise. Good annoy some people. There was no usb port. So needed an adapter. Shower door came off track but I was able to put it back. These are minor complaints though. Overall it was very good.

PERFECT location. Steps from the piazza maggiore. Odd and quirky decor, but we knew that in advance. Our room was an homage to the Kennedy family - odd being in italy. Chose it for its location. Good breakfast in an adjoining cafe downstairs. Nice and accommodating staff. Nothing over the top, just fine, reasonably prices and prime location.

We had a great stay at the Phi hotel. All staff were very helpful and friendly. Giulio (I think 🤔) gave us a warm welcome, coffee while we waited and an upgraded room. Breakfast staff were friendly and hardworking. Breakfast was excellent, with a wonderful choice of local produce. The room was spacious and well equipped with comfy beds. We had a small balcony with chairs and table which would be lovely in the warmer months. The location is perfect, just off Piazza Maggiore, and lots to do and to see within a short walk. I also appreciated help from reception with printing off our boarding passes for our flight home. Bologna is a beautiful, vibrant and historic city which I hope to visit again, and I would definitely choose Phi hotel again. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.

Location was amazing and breakfast was the best we had during our week of travels. But it was way overpriced for the level of service, the room size, the cleanliness of the rooms and the fact that nothing seemed to be replenished unless you asked. Staff at reception and breakfast were attentive, but breakfast area was very unrelaxing. Two competing music systems on all 3 mornings we were there and very loud cafe. Take headphones if you’re neurodiverse!
