PHI Hotel Canalgrande

We were very pleased with our choice of accommodation in Modena. Maybe I had lower expectations because of some comments I had seen about the worn condition of the property but, apart from the carpet having seen better days, our room was fine, as were the general areas. We had however opted for a suite, maybe partly influenced by the comments. The shutters and aircon kept us cool, we didn't get noise from the street and there was always hot water. The hotel is very well located in the old town of Modena, near a street of bars, just a few minutes walk to the market and main square and an easy stroll to many restaurants. The railway station and Enzo Ferrari museum are 20 minutes away. Breakfast was always well stocked and a wide selection. We could only eat in the garden on the first day but the inside area was fine. The staff were always very friendly and helpful. We opted for the hotel's valet parking and, despite a charge of 20 Euros per day, were happy with this decision, we would not have wanted to try and find a place on the streets each time we returned. Overall, we enjoyed everything about our stay.

The location was excellent the staff were lovely and very helpful. The hotel had loads of character.

If you are looking for a hotel that still has the original flair of an Italian hotel, this is the perfect place to go. I was worried at first that the place had been modernized too much, but I do not know if I was lucky with my room, but mine was perfect with a view of the beautiful garden where we could have breakfast. Honestly, this place is a little gem, I hope they do not change it as I will definitely be back next time I am in Modena. Super central and beautiful area for night walks (and day walks).

The staff were amazing, everyone was so helpful. The breakfast was really good, excellent selection to choose from and we ate outside on hotel terrace which was lovely. It was very hot during our stay so we were grateful for the air-conditioning in the room which worked really well. We were also very pleased with the location, 10 mins walk to the centre & Modena Cathedral. We were also able to store our electric bikes securely. We'd definitely stay again.

I usually rate places but many times do not leave a full review. This place was fabulous. I’ve been traveling for weeks and this was one of my favorite stays. Sure, it’s not a modern style but for me that adds to its charm. Everything was very clean and comfortable. We had 4 pillows on the bed so you could choose which one worked best. The bathroom had a European style bathroom with shower/tub combo, bidet, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, soap, kleenex tissue and a makeup mirror. More personal care products than you typically have at most hotels in Europe. It also had bidet soap and towels. The location was amazing- close to everything. There was a “door man”, bell hop and an elevator. A lovely patio and garden were also available for use. There was a bar with reasonably priced drinks. Breakfast, if you pay, was done well. More options than you could eat. I would highly recommend this place. Oh- they will provide a pass for your car for street parking too.
