During my recent stay at Phi Hotel Bologna, I was thrilled by its central location, just a two-minute walk from Piazza Maggiore. however, I did encounter a few issues with the shower water temperature. The room was artfully decorated and comfortable with thoughtful amenities, although the breakfast was decent but didn't quite wow me. Overall, the hotel was a fantastic base for exploring Bologna, but service consistency could be improved.

My stay at Phi Hotel Bologna was quite pleasant overall. The location is fantastic, just a short stroll to Piazza Maggiore and the beautiful old town. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, which made my experience even better. however, I was a bit disappointed with the room decor and those paper cups that really didn't fit with the four-star vibe. The breakfast was excellent, especially the fresh cappuccinos.
