“sorry we didn't stay longer - wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011
3
people found this review helpful

This is a real first class hotel. Everything is elegant and tasteful. Our room (166) had a great balcony and was so easy to get to - just walk up the stairs if we didn't feel like taking the elevator. Great wi-ti, new flatscreen, double vanity spotless bathroom (although the shower pressure was very weak.

From the front door, you are only across the road from the entrance to the archaeological museum, which we really enjoyed (closed on Monday), 4 euros. When you leave the museum, turn left, walk across the small bridge and you'll find yourself in a beautiful park similar to the tree lined parks of Paris. The town itself is beautiful.

Don't expect good bread here - it's pretty bad -dry and tasteless - no butter served along side.
I'm sorry, I digress.

Breakfast was plentiful, and the coffee was strong. They even froth the milk you get with it. Now that's going the extra mile.

Front desk spoke great English. Garage was easy and less expensive than others around

This place is terrific and should be number one (I think the uncomfortable beds are bringing down the rating). I really can't think of anything else to complain about. So, if you are going, you are going to love it. If you get a balcony room they have metal shutters that close like a garage door with the press of a button to keep out noise and light.

Room Tip: Get a balcony.

“good, recommendable hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011

Good 4**** hotel, right on the center of the town of Parma. Easy to reach, but difficult to park (they told us there are no free spots in the area). the hotel has an underground parking area though (but this costs you 15 euro per night).

Reception was good and fast. Rooms are nice, beds are comfortable if you like them on the hard side. Breakfast was sufficient, including fresh fruits. When you get there on a quite moment, it might take a while before you see someone to ask the coffee.

Only minor remark is upon leaving, we call reception for the bell boy, and after 15 minutes of waiting (the hotel was absolutely not busy at all), my patience ran out, and I went for the trolley myself. The girl at the reception was upset with the bell boy because he did not attend the call, and excused multiple times for the bad service.

Walk out of the hotel, under the arches, and you are on the main square of Parma, and very near to the old historic center.

“Stendhal in the heart of Parma - walking distance to EVERYTHING!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011

person found this review helpful

Yes the beds are a bit firm but the rooms are exceptional and the balconey from ours was huge with relaxing chairs and table that we found comfy enough to dine in when we didn't feel like going out. Refridgerator, huge bathroom with shower for two, bidet, dancing space and brand new flat screen tv. Close to everything including the train station - we travel via Eurail..... and a privacy/safety screen that lowers to keep you safe and away from the sounds of the streets.

“Great location, clean but hard beds!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011

This hotel is very centrally located and you can walk everywhere in the main city from it. The breakfast was really good and fresh and the hotel is clean. The only thing was our bed which was soooo hard and my husband ended up with a sore back!! Apart from that though it was a great hotel.
