Phi Hotel Bologna = Perfecto!

Hands down the best hotel we stayed at during our Italian trip! From the warm and friendly check-in, where we were offered coffee while our luggage was put in our room, to the cozy, clean and also fun room - it was just perfect! Additionally the restaurant connected to the hotel was fabulous. We enjoyed the best lasagne bolognese we had ever tasted and in the mornings we were overwhelmed by all the tasty breakfast choices. The location of the hotel cannot be beat, right next to Piazza Maggiore but on a very quiet side street. Grazie mille to all the friendly people who made our stay so enjoyable. We’ll be back!

we stayed here for a few days before our cruise leaving out if ravenna. this was our first time in italy and this hotel and its location is exactly how i pictured italy. it’s a boutique hotel, on a cobblestone street. the rooms are a decent size and the staff was very helpful from the time that i booked (answering email questions for me, booking & confirming our transfer to the cruise ahead of arrival). the location is great. there’s plenty of things to see and do within walking distance. i would recommend and would stay here again.

Lovely hotel, great location

A really nice hotel in a great location for sightseeing. The room we had was very comfortable and well sized for us with a water machine on our floor which did not or cold water. Breakfast was really nice with a good selection and the staff were all really helpful. The hotel is literally a minute from the main square and plenty of restaurants. I would certainly stay here again and the hotel donates money to charity for each night you stay which is nice

If you require connectivity don't book this hotel!

We had to wait to check in even though it was after 3 pm. Our room was extremely cramped and wifi was virtually no existent. I attempted to get on 22 times the first day and 14 times the following morning with no success. When I asked the front desk about the issue they said all I can say is keep trying. Not acceptable! We left on the second day of our stay and moved to a hotel around the corner that had fast internet and a spacious room. The Phi hotel is extremely expensive for what you get. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone.
