My wife and I stayed at the Maria Luiga for two nights in late September. We wish we hadn't. This is a business hotel, totally unsuitable hotel for tourists looking for better than average accomadations. The room-one of their best- was small and dark, and none too clean. The air conditioning did not work. The bathroom was no bigger than... more

Our family of four toured Italy on Eurail passes and stopped in Parma in the evening without booking accommodations ahead of time. An Italian business woman we had met on the train recommended we go to Hotel Palace Maria Luigia, very near the train station. We were glad we did! A split level suite awaited us with a double bed... more

I stayed here on a business trip recently. I was surprised by the exterior - was this really the hotel I was meant to be in? However, once inside it's a different story. The restaurant is really good, the waiters are formal and the food excellent. My room was perfect, on the small side, but very comfortable indeed - better... more

The room was very nice and big. Close to the train and shops. All double beds in Italy seems to be 2 singles pushed together. So, that was the only uncomfortable thing. But, that's everywhere. more

When I go to Parma this is the place where I usually sleep. The hotel does not have a great appearance from the outside but it is conveniently located, because it is just on the edge of the city center and the train station is just 3 minutes walking. Apart from this the hotel belongs to the Italian SINA chain.... more

I just returned from Parma and was a bit apprehensive about this hotel - booked for me by my business contact - after having looked at the previous reports. I did not see any drapes hanging outside and found the place from the outside and the inside not at all scary ....!!! The hotel is indeed very central, it is... more

We really enjoyed our quick stay in Parma and this hotel was a nice hub for us. The service was decent and breakfast was fairly good. This isn't Rome or Venice so we knew not to expect the same level of quality but overall it was an enjoyable stay. The rooms seemed a little dark and could use more lighting... more

Our party of 3 adults stayed at the Maria Luigia Hotel (2 rooms) in Parma 3 nights. We scheduled this stop to tour the area's production facilities for cheese, wine, ham and balsamic vinegar but quickly discovered that tourism is not promoted in this whole area. If you have a car (we traveled by train throughout Italy) apparently you can... more

The appearance from the outside is a little scary with all those drapes but once we got inside we found a neat little bar area. The rooms were small, well decorated, clean, nice remodeled bath, quiet, good breakfast, friendly staff and a good location. more
