Nice hotel, near the historical center. Restaurant and commercial center nearby, accessible by foot. Nice buffet for the breakfast. Personnel very sympathetic and pro. Room clean, good bed. I recommand.
Advertises dog friendliness while it clearly is not. Puts in the fine print that there is 5kg maximum for dogs.
No other hotel has had any issue with this, especially not four star.
I suspect this is supposed to be three stars, but the rude owner is good with her words so she might have gotten it bumped to four.
The Hotel smells bad, the receptionist is lazy and doesn’t know English. The neighborhood seems shady.
My best advice would be to
1: Dont come here
2: Check out other reviews on whichever platform you want. They all say the same of this horrible place.
Hotel confortevole. Reception aperta 24 ore, abbastanza vicino al centro (2 km, io li ho fatti a piedi in 25 minuti). Unica pecca il frigobar era non funzionante
Et veldig bra hotell med hyggelig og meget serviceinnstilt personale. Her var ingenting et problem, og vi fikk god hjelp til de spørsmålene vi hadde.
Rommene hadde grei størrelse, og det føltes at vi hadde god plass.
Veldig rent og fint over alt, og det betyr mye.
God frokost som hadde noe for enhver smak.
Hotellet ligger et stykke fra sentrum, så du må beregne ca. 30 minutter å gå.
Busstopp like i nærheten av hotellet (ca. 5 minutter å gå).
Siste buss fra sentrum går rundt klokken 20:00.
Taxi koster mellom 10 og 12 €.
Ligger også to kjøpesentre i nærheten hvis du trenger å handle. Et lite senter ved busstopp, og et litt lengre unna (600m).
Kan anbefales, og jeg bor gjerne her igjen hvis jeg skal tilbake til Ferrara.
niveau 2 étoiles horrible, très mal référencé sur votre site le prix n'est pas en adéquation.

Ontbijt vrij duur (€20) kamer was netjes, groot en schoon, de douchecabine daarentegen was vrij klein en er was maar een karig handdoekje. En tot slot het toilet kon maar een keer doorgetrokken worden, daarna kwam er geen water meer. Al met al een kleine tegenvaller
ERA un 4 stelle, ma ora è decaduto!
La stanza alla consegna, e siamo arrivati il pomeriggio inoltrato, non era affatto ben pulita, mancavano le bott. acqua i depliants messi solo il giorno dopo, e dello sporco a terra. il frigo vuoto e spento, la colazione disponibile ad un prezzo stellare 19 €., per fortuna ho preso al bancone un cappuccio&cornetto 5€. intonaco qui e lè scrostato. Poi la camera è ampia come il bagno c'è tutto, gentile il personale. Ma in cocnlusione vale i 66€. a notte pagati, ma non certo i 100/120 indicati da listino. tornerei solo a quel prezzo.
Dista solo 15 minuti di bus dal centro storico di Ferrara ed è vicina a diversi ristoranti e catene di fast food (ad es
McDonald's); inoltre è vicinissima al centro commerciale il Castello che ha diversi negozi, bar e ristoranti
