I travel extensively throughout Europe, staying in hotels for probably 40% of the year. I've stayed in all kinds of properties, from rustic farmhouses to 5 star hotels at €800 a night. I'm not in any way pretentious about where I stay, the important thing for me is the friendliness of the staff and the atmosphere it creates.

My One Hotel Campus is a business style hotel on the outskirts of Parma, it's certainly not a hotel that would appeal to tourists (sharing your breakfast with a load of suited businessmen), however the rooms are big and comfortable and also clean.

The big problem I had was the way that I was treated on checking out by the rude, abnoxious, patronising lady on Reception (I believe her name was Martina) who spoke to me like I was more of an inconvenience to the hotel rather than a paying customer, she went out of her way to be unhelpful, had a very bad tone to her voice and snatched both money and invoice out of my hand without a word of thanks. All of this completely unprovoked as I had barely said a word to her other than "good morning, I'd like to check out please". Because of this treatment I would certainly not go back there and would not recommend it to anybody else.

We were in transit from Milan to a village near Lucca. Because our plane was delayed, we were a bit later than we planned, but fortunately the hotel had 24-hour service. At least, we thought they had. Tired of the journey we arrived there.... Door locked! We first tried to knock gently, later we pressed the bell. After a half hour, a man came sleepy from the back to open the door for us ... So bad.

However the rooms were very nice and clean, spacious bathroom and a spacious bedroom. The beds were good.

Breakfast the next day was not my taste, but I think each person is different.

A typical motorway hotel, a little run down and shabby but still charging 100 euros for one night on a weekday in low low season January. The room it must be said was very large, warm and clean and there was even a toothbrush BUT all this was ruined by the stink of stale smoke. We were half an hour late for breakfast and though the food was still laid out and not much for any of the staff to do we were refused. I'm pretty sure they would have had long life milk anyway!
Much much better to go to the Corte di San Michelino if you want a charming, unusual experience (see my review) in the area. However if you are just stopping to sleep on the way to somewhere else you could do worse than Campus.

Stay here often for business. Its a small NO frills hotel in the city of Collechio right outside Parma. Its rather far from Parma but its a nice place if you have Business in the area. The Hotel is very Basic but gives you a good night sleep at an affordable rate. Highky recomended if you are attendind the Fiere di Parma, Very little traffic jams in this direction. A couple of good restaurants within walking distance
