Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Phi Hotel Bologna enjoys a superb location, just a few blocks from Piazza Maggiore and within easy walking distance of Bologna's best attractions, shopping, and restaurants. Guests consistently praise the excellent breakfast and the convenience of having the fantastic Atipico Osteria restaurant attached to the hotel; the lounge with water and snacks is also appreciated. Some guests have found the decor a bit too "arty". the apartments at Torre 5 offer spacious layouts with two bedrooms, king-size beds, and two full bathrooms, alongside top-notch amenities including complimentary prosecco and well-stocked bathroom essentials.

firm mattressconstant noise
The mattress firmness caused discomfort, i slept poorly. our first-floor location exposed us to noise from the reception area until late. There was no proper separation between the bedroom and the public space. this constant noise made it difficult to relax and get a proper night's rest. this design flaw significantly impacted my stay.

The hotel is a short walk to the main square. The room had quiet air conditioning, a feature I found valuable. Breakfast included many food options until 11 AM (which was convenient for a late riser like me).
The shower lacked a mat, which I found slightly inconvenient.
