Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was filled with positives like its great location near the city center and historical sites. The rooms, though large, showed signs of age, yet offered a dark and cool ambiance conducive to good sleep. On the downside, noise from neighboring rooms was an issue due to thin walls. Despite this, the location's safety was reassuring, but the neighborhood lacked appealing dining options nearby.
The hotel's location is pretty good and probably the only thing it has going for it. The rooms are incredibly cold and uncomfortable, lacking character and ambiance. The service, while nice and helpful, can be slow due to understaffing. The dining experience is mediocre and could improve to meet Italian standards. The facilities are basic and nothing exceptional stands out.
The hotel rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious for the price, perfect for a good night's sleep despite some noise issues. However, the furniture lacked character, and the beds were short and uncomfortable. The dining experience offered plastic-wrapped pastries and mediocre coffee. The hotel's strongest point is its location, although the neighborhood is not the most appealing.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were dark and cool, conducive to sleep, but my colleague had noise issues due to thin walls. The rooms were typical mini-singles found in Europe, small, with basic and ugly furniture. The service was efficient but sometimes problematic with only one person handling tasks. The location was okay, a bit of a walk to the historic center, but safe. The dining was average in a spacious room. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel is centrally located and close to the historical center, making it convenient to visit the city. The rooms are spacious but outdated, with old-style furnishings. The service is friendly and efficient, although sometimes understaffed. The dining options are a bit limited, yet the hotel boasts excellent facilities for a comfortable stay in the heart of Ferrara.
