Welcoming, helpful, friendly staff. They all looked as though they loved their job! Smart, comfortable hotel. So close to the station, and, therefore, the monorail to the airport and to take day trips to Parma, Modena, Ferrara. Nice easy walk through the porticos into the centre. Tutto perfetto!!!!

Despite advertised as in historic centre it was a 25 min walk to the square. No info given at check in only discovered they had a bar on last day. Rooms clean and well kept. People sleeping on street in area a bit disconcerting but didn’t feel unsafe as busy area.

The hotel is very convenient for travellers as it is very close to the station. The ‘Centro storico’ is all within walking distance. We didn’t like the coffee at breakfast. The coffee from the machine was bitter/unpleasant. There is an option to ask the staff to make you a fresh coffee but this didn’t taste much better: I very much doubt it was made with a proper machine.
