“Great Location but a room with a view may come with a price....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2010

Conveniently located in central Ferrara (what isn’t, this town is tiny!) and obviously new, this moderately priced hotel is a good value for the money. Note: the entrance is under the bridge that spans the street and involves an elevator to reception. Our room was oddly laid out having the beds tightly set into a corner, with another awkwardly furnished sitting area adjacent and probably the largest bathroom I have ever had at a hotel- huge even by American standards. Great shower too and spotless. The décor is a bit funky, not disturbing nor luxurious. The room also had significant storage and a mini kitchenette hidden behind doors that we didn’t use- my impression is that one would be hard pressed to actually cook anything substantive with the cookware provided.

The breakfast room was cheery and the selection was more than adequate although we were not offered barista made cappuccinos until we had already taken ours from the machine, twice. We could not eat on the lovely outdoor terrace due to the season. The front desk was friendly and always staffed and was able to recommend restaurants. We selected one which was also on my list, Tre Scalin, on the edge of town, which was wonderful (if you can forgive the glaring fluorescent lighting), friendly, family owned- a real treat at a very modest price by current standards.

We were grateful to NOT have our room facing the duomo as we happened to be there on a weekly party night. Bands of happy go lucky Italian youths bar hoping to the wee hours and creating quite a commotion outside which even spilled into the narrow road behind the hotel (our windows faced it) so we were not totally immune. I can’t imagine what this would be like if the windows were open!

“Excellent location and value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2010

The hotel is located in the center of town across from the Cathedral. It is in restricted traffic zone and has no parking. If you drive, you will park at the outdoor public parking 5 minutes walk away. We had a large apartment with a bedroom, living room and fully equipped kitchenette. Bathroom was large and had a massage shower (we could not figure out how to use it).
The hotel looked new. WiFi did not work as advertised (and we received a credit at the end of our stay). Light fixture in the living room was flashing like an emergency light all the time. We had to turn the light off. The hallways are marble with decorations on walls. We could not see them due to poor lighting inthe hallway. Lights in the hallway were so dim that it was hard to find the key hole.
Breakfast was adequate, with smaller selections than in the most European hotels.
The biggest value was the location, the size of the suite and the price.

“A little overpriced but large clean rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 February 2010

Very large room, very central location right in the heart of the old city. Nice breakfast in a beautiful room overlooking the main square and the duomo. Very basic cooking facilities just 2 hotplates, no oven, no microwave. I thought it was a bit overpriced especially for mid January. Shower had jacuzzi jets but our shower door was missing so we couldn't switch them on!

“Central location, but rather loud”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2010

The hotel is located right in the center of old town, on the second and third floor. The rooms are nice and clean. But the hotel has some down sides too:
- Parking is about 10 minutes walk away
- Old town with it's bars and restaurants can be rather loud at night, so bring ear plugs
- Breakfast starts at 7:30. I was on a business trip, and had to be on the way to the customer at this time. So, no breakfast at the hotel for me.
- The WiFi didn't work, and they were not able to fix it in the entire week of my stay.
It is a nice hotel with a great location, but it just doesn't work for a business trip.

“Amazing Stay, Amazing People, Amazing Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2008

Just want to thank again for the fantastic time we spent there!!!this is one of the best hotel I've been!!! My boyfriend and us spent our first anniversary there and it was just perfect!!!

We booked directly from their website, and Roberto, the guy at the reception sent me all the information and promise me a nice and quiet double room. When I arrived there I met this guy that was really helpfull, he showed us the room, gave us all the information about the city, the map and suggested a wonderful restaurant for the night, just off the castle!with the discount for te guest of the hotel!

Our room was very big!! it looked like the apartment where i stay in london, but the coolest thing was the view!!! Panoramic windows just in front of the Cathedral and the main square!!!!

We also had a kitchenette in the room so we spent sometime eating and enjoying the view from our room!!!!

the staff of the hotel is so halpfull, they suggested us all the great things to do, we rented 2 bikes and went around the city and when we were tired and wanted to relax a bit we had beers on the terrace!!!

the position of the hotel is fantastic and the price?! for the quality and the location and the service WOW!!!! guys go there, u re gonna have a fantastic time!!!

plus, i always wake up late, but there, the breakfast was so good!!! italian pastries, ham, cheese and toast, cakes mmmmm and more.... a reason to wake up in the morning!! and thanking the weather, we always had breakfast in the terrace!!!

I m going back as soon as I can!!!! cool cool cool!!!! 10!!!!
