Parma hotellia

Plussat: Good size, good location and friendly staff. Self contained apartment in the centre of Parma with modern facilities

Miinukset: Wifi was poor ...virtually impossible to watch anything

Plussat: Highly recommended from all perspectives!

Plussat: Incredibly helpful staff. She went out of her way to be helpful. Hotel is very nice.

Miinukset: Noisy street. Very strange living room table on the floor - useless and a tripping hazard.

Plussat: We had a studio, quite big and comfortable. It had a kitchen and a small dining room, which we did not use, since we ate at the restaurant down stairs (one Michelin star restaurant, with a normal meal at 60-70 euros drinks included). The location is good, on the main street in Parma, at a 5 minutes walk from what could be considered the city center. The interaction with the staff before the arrival was excellent, they contacted us via email and everything was set up nicely.

Miinukset: We had a car and the parking place is rather far: a 5 minutes walk with suitcases in the sun. I do not believe that the property qualifies to the "available parking" criteria, although they claim this on booking. While the staff was very present online, they were not around physically. I imagine they were also working at the restaurant, but we had no actual interaction with them, no recommandation or anything. Finally, regarding the room, the bathroom was weird, as it was poorly illuminated and using the natural light through the windows requires a certain amount of exhibitionism.

Plussat: Olga was super .

Miinukset: No tv in living room and no English channels.

Plussat: Amazingly clean and comfortable room in a very convenient location. You can reach the center of Parma by a 10 minutes walk. During check-in the Staff of the facility gave us good advice on places to eat around the city center. Highly recommended.

Plussat: The location was wonderful! The attic "room" was more like a studio apartment, with lots of space. I love the bath products they use - beautiful scent! The reception hostess "Olga" (I think - jet lag) was fabulous! She gave us lots of information and couldn't be nicer. She was quite fluent in English, too, which was great! Overall, we had an excellent experience.

Miinukset: Not one thing!

Plussat: Near to the city center.

Miinukset: Beds were in our opinion a bit too hard and there was not so many cutlery and plates.

Plussat: Well appointed apartment within a short walk of the cathedral and restaurants. Very friendly staff

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Olga was so very helpful! She recommended places to go and made reservations for us and was just so pleasant!

Miinukset: Only suggestion would be a few more dishes for kitchen.

Plussat: The staff was sooo helpful!!! The room was beautiful!

Plussat: The staff was most helpful and very friendly. It was certainly located next to a fabulous restaurant. We enjoyed the owner and chef. The location was terrific.

Miinukset: My only negative was the bed. It was not comfortable at all. No box springs. I could not have stayed there longer than 1 night.

Plussat: Great suite, right in the heart of Parma. We were in walking distance to everything. The bed was so comfortable and the rooms large.

Plussat: The room was elegant, spacious, and very clean, while the hotel staff was top notch and very helpful!

Miinukset: We loved everything about this hotel.

Plussat: This is a small apartment hotel with excellent and helpful staff. Good location on one of the main shopping streets close to the city centre. Train station around 5 minutes away by taxi.

Plussat: Very nice modern appartments, Freindly and helpful staff and they also have a really great restaurant!

Miinukset:

Plussat: The apartment was fantastic - refurbished 18 months ago - and was very clean. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful ( and spoke very good English ! ). She made us a cup of coffee on arrival which was very welcome after a long journey. We were near to the centre and there were plenty of restaurants in easy walking distance. Top marks for Parizzi Suites and Studios.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Our apartment was beautiful - very modern and well-appointed. elegant and comfortable. The location is convenient for the city and the reception was friendly and efficient.

Miinukset: Parma is quite difficult to navigate , even with a GPS, so the place was hard to find. The parking is some distance away, which is no fun in bad weather.

Plussat: The charm and pleasantness of Mr. and Mrs. Parizzi and their staff make you want to stay there and just enjoy their company. The apartment was very modern and had all the essentials I needed. The Parizzi Restaurant, located on the premises, is excellent, and I would recommend it to any sophisticated palate.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Everything was fantastic. Especially the stuff – helpful and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, they forgot to return us our passport and we had to arrange the pick-up. But this is minor (I am nor saying not expensive) comparing with everything else. Thanks to them!

Miinukset: We didn’t find lamps for night reading. We told them. Next day they bought lams for all rooms.

Plussat: Run the other way

Miinukset: BUGS, BUGS, BUGS !!! First of all very difficult to find especially at night. Secondly, the place was infested with these flying roaches and we had to leave soon after we checked in. Luckily we were able to find a normal hotel down the road and my 80 year old mother didn’t have further anxiety. The place also had a nerve to say that we stayed the night when they knew well we left the key and were gone. Run away from this place and don’t lose your money like we did.

Plussat: Very kind family, the kitchen in the apartment was well equipped. The place was very quiet and easy to find, but still close to the city center. It was a good choice for a stop over.

Plussat: Very clean, relax atmosphere

Plussat: it was nice and I will do it with family for sure.

Miinukset: people there so good

Plussat: Just out of the center of Parma, yet quiet and isolated from any traffic noise.

Plussat: Our hostess was very friendly and gave us a warm welcome. We asked for recommendations for a restaurant and that was an awesome restaurant...Angiol D'Or (her favorite).

Plussat: Easy check in and out. Comfortable, very clean. We would go back.

Miinukset: B & B Temenos itself was very good but the access road was VERY narrow. Be prepared to reverse to a passing place if you meet another vehicle.

Plussat: Large room which had a kitchen in it. Nice facilities and owner very welcoming. Near the rugby stadium and just a short drive into town.

Miinukset: The public road to the property is very narrow and could be an issue.

Plussat: Nice place, lovely and quiet, good size rooms and everything very clean. It's out in the countryside just a few minutes from the motorway. Plenty of parking on-site. Breakfast was provided in the shared kitchen/living room area and was fine. No air-conditioning but fans provided in the rooms.

Miinukset: It would be useful to have scissors to open the carton of milk in the fridge and spoons to eat the cereal with (I had to use a teaspoon).

Plussat: Great location, nice hotel with helpful and friendly staff.

Plussat: Location is perfect just only two minutes walk from a train station. Receptionist were pretty good, thanks again to Domenica for her support. So over all a nice place to stay.

Plussat: Great location, a short walk into Parma. Staff were helpful regarding places to go and eat/see in the centre. Parking was safe and secure underground, this was not free though. Clean and comfortable!

Miinukset: Would have benefited from a kettle.

Plussat: The rooms are fantastic. Clean, modern, spacious. Air conditioning works well. Bathroom is nice and clean. Room is close to the train station yet a little further from city centre but represents good value.

Miinukset: The surrounding neighbourhood is a little dodgy night, we didn’t feel 100% safe when walking the streets within 10 minutes of hotel location.

Plussat: The bed was large and comfortable with enough space in the room.

Miinukset: The breakfast option is quite limited.

Plussat: We had an Italy trip with different Hotels and want to send feedback for the different Brands. - Verona, Hotel Firenze by Best Western - Parma, NH Parma - Forenze, AC Hotel Firenze by Marriot - Pisa, AC Hotel Pisa by Marriot All are 4 Stat Hotels and all were ok with some ups and downs. Here some detailed evaluations: Hotel Firenze by Best Western was the 4th best; - Criticism: Room was nice and ok. Service in general was nice. Breakfast was worse. Breakfast Room in a cellar, with limited space. Crowded and a lot of people. Stuff was busy with cleaning all the Tables and therefore can do only a swiftly cleaning. Cost/performance ratio too expensive AC Pisa by Marriot was the 3rd best: - Criticism: Room was nice and ok. Service in general was nice. But there was a difference compared to the other AC in Firenze. No coffeemaker in the Room and the location of the Hotel was a little too far away. Overall the impression that AC Parma is saving equipment compared with AC Firenze. The Breakfast was as well little well standard compared with AC Firenze. Less cheese and snag choice. And sometime the tray was nearly empty an not refilled (cheese) Cost/performance ratio ok. AC Firenze by Marriot was the 2nd best: - Criticism: Room was nice and ok. Service in general was nice. Here the location was perfect and as well the entrance hall. Very nice new Hotel. Breakfast was fine, the only small thing the Breakfast Room was the Bar of the Hotel. This needs getting used to. To collect the food from the Bar counter. Cost/performance ratio ok

Miinukset: NH Parma was the 1st best: - Criticism: Room was nice and ok. Service in general was nice. The only thing here, the Service Member checked us in early with a double Room but only equipped as a single Room, hence some towels were missing (Only 1 pair); Service member said she will make sure to get a 2nd pair. This was not happening, unfortunately. That’s the only criticism. Breakfast was perfect, nice Room, a lot of selections, quiet and good service stuff. Cost/performance ratio very ok. - Hope this will help all the different Hotel Members to compare.

Plussat: Nice design and comfort, excellent value for money

Miinukset: Location is a bit out of town, but center can be easily reached with a 15 mins walk

Plussat: The hotel.

Miinukset: Restaurant across the street.

Plussat: Juniorsviitissä oli hyvin tilaa perheelle. Hyvä sänky. Hiljainen huone. Aamupala monipuolinen. Hotelli oli helposti saavutettavissa autolla matkustaen. Hyvä parkkihalli.

Miinukset: Rautatieaseman läheisyys ilta-aikaan hieman rauhaton.

Plussat: The room was nice and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Plussat: Very good breakfast. Diverse and delicious

Plussat: Clean room, very good facilities, free parking and good full on breakfast. The outside is really peaceful, greeen, quite and relaxing!

Miinukset: Because the hotel is based very close to a farm, only outside there was a strong smell of fertilizer. Probably also because the time of the year. But the outside is amazing anyway. No balcony, but that was not problem for us.

Plussat: Everything.

Miinukset: No pool.

Plussat: Very nice hotel, comfortable, convenient location off the motorway. Staff was most helpful to provide us with food even at 10pm. Very friendly.

Plussat: Great staff on reception. Nice hotel, good breakfast.

Miinukset: Air-con didn't stay on and it was a bit warm

Plussat: 5 min by car to the city center

Miinukset: We were not allowed to take our dog to the breakfast (the first and only time during the trip). There's also a sewage odor around hotel and in the room.

Plussat: Very quiet location

Miinukset: All was fine

Miinukset: There was this farm smell outside, but with closed windows it made no problem at all.

Plussat: I loved how accommodating the hotel staffer was to our late arrival. We were so hungry, but everything was closed. He went and got us a platter of snacks to hold us over. That platter of snacks made for a nice cuddly evening with my Mommy. It was the best.

Miinukset: Honestly, I didn't dislike anything. The parking lot was a little scary because of the empty stables on the property, but they were pretty cool during the day.

Plussat: The hotel is situated near the local airport but we didn’t hear a plane even once. The receptionist was very helpful, good breakfast very calm and quite

Plussat: Style and location. Staff excellent actitude and very accommodating

Miinukset: Smell for manure (only once) due to land fertalizing near by

Plussat: Staff were excellent, didn’t check in till the last minute but receptionist waited for us to get there, had a long drive and had some cold drinks ready for us

Miinukset: Road noise a little high on the Monday morning, but was our choice to sit outside for breakfast

Plussat: Location, parking, garden etc.

Miinukset: Price for restaurant.

Plussat: Nice hotel with easy access to Parma. The receptionist was super helpful with all the information. The suggestion to visit a local cheese factory was a good one too. Clean rooms and ample parking.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: More of a 'transit' hotel rather than a holiday establishment. It is located outside of Parma, has easy parking and ideal for us. Clean room, helpful and pleasant staff.

Miinukset: Breakfast could have been better and could be much improved.

Plussat: Modern and clean Rooms with new Furniture. Information about the Opening hours of the Reception(closed over lunch time) by Whatsapp. Free parking in front of the Hotel.

Plussat: Free parking. Room was clean. The room was spacious.

Miinukset: There was not much light. The room had no natural sunlight. The windows were all blocked. It is quite far from the city. 11 minute drive with a car.

Plussat: Everything was just great! The room was so clean and very modern! The breakfast was delicious and well served, lot parking space. Staff were friendly.

Plussat: A good alternative if you just want a place to sleep, close to the autostrada.

Plussat: Very convenient for the autostrada, great restaurant. Good breakfast This was our third stay there.

Miinukset: Next door shower came up through our shower drain. Attended to quickly by the hotel staff

Plussat: beautiful paintings, staff very friendly, very nice and calm room, great breakfast

Plussat: The location, the breakfast was ok.

Miinukset: Not very comfortable. Everything is undersized.

Plussat: Clean, location not far from city center

Miinukset: Breakfast - poor choice if you want to eat meat or eggs

Plussat: Fabulous breakfast and amazing restaurant with lovely staff

Plussat: It’s convenient and clean with bigger than average room and bathroom. Quality restaurant on site with parking and walking distance to town but still quiet.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Clean and comfortable room. Nice breakfast (excellent coffee / cappuccino). Staff was super helpful.

Miinukset: While at a walking distance, it can take some 20 minutes to get to the historical centre.

Plussat: Fantastic breakfast

Plussat: The room is really nice and new, the staff are lovely and the bed is soft and comfy. I will come back and reccomend.

Plussat: The food, the facilities and the service.

Miinukset: The rugs in the foyer area need to be replaced

Plussat: The restaurant in the hotel was very good for both dinner and breakfast . The service was very good . The food and wine delicious .

Plussat: - Clean spacious comfortable room and bathroom equipped with all you need during your stay. - Cosy sitting available in the hotel park. - I have appreciated efficient AC especially because of heat wave those days. - Upon arrival I got good tips from the receptionist but only after I asked for some information. Would be nice to get some spontaneous introduction about the hotel and city centre.

Miinukset: - Elevator did not work so I had to carry my luggage down the stairs. It was not a big problem as I just had a small luggage but for elderly people it could be an issue. Hotel was working on the solution for two days. - Not all TV channels were available. Though I asked for a help the issue could not be resolved until end of my stay.

Plussat: Nice big bathroom, almost the same big as the room itself

Miinukset: Not very good service - not for 5 stars hotel for sure! We didn't have hot water in the room so couldn't even take a shower and nobody notified us in advance, when we were checking out - nobody even asked the usual "How was your stay?". It was very clear that they just don't care at all. When we asked to help us to get bags from car, ladies at the reception acted like they are almost surprised.

Plussat: Room quality Hotel quality Location

Miinukset: Lack of gym Buffet breakfast - no ordering ability

Plussat: Beautiful, luxury, details, new, very professional staff, stylish and fine.

Miinukset: All, the design, the high quality of the details, super bathrooms, fantastic infrastructure. All, congratulations

Plussat: Staff tried very hard to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable.

Miinukset: It was unfortunate that lift was not working for a day or two.

Plussat: Loved the rooms! The breakfast was ample and the staff friendly. Beautiful hotel.

Plussat: The bed was perfect! Best night’s sleep in a long time!

Plussat: The hotel is lovely, as are the grounds. The room is pretty the staff was nice. Breakfast was fair. We did not eat any other meals at the hotel. The young man who was the bellman and Jack of all trades was great. When two lights were out in our room, he immediately went to get new bulbs.

Miinukset: This hotel is isolated. Feels almost like a prison or school from the outside. The neighborhood is not conducive for vacationing. You have to take a cab everywhere. You do not feel you can walk in the neighborhood.

Plussat: Great breakfast including gluten free options! The chandeliers are spectacular and the decor is wonderful. Room was enormous and the bathroom just fabulous!

Miinukset: The only drawback was the location as you are half an hour walk from the main town which at night felt a little precarious. Staff were very helpful and recommended more local restaurants but still quite a walk through am area I'm not sure about- would not have felt safe to walk by myself as a female. The elevators weren't working. While at check in someone offered to help with luggage, there are lots of stairs which meant my husband had a workout! Sure this was temporary, but was our experience

Plussat: Rooms were clean and the service friendly. Parking easily available and accessible even with bigger cars - which is not always the case in Italy.

Miinukset: A fomer hospital converted into a hotel but that restricted the possibilities to offer what one expects from 5 stars: no gym, no pool, no spa. Walking into the city takes at least 15 mins. With temperataures outside of 35 degrees the temp in the bar was below 20... felt like a freezer.

Plussat: The garden and alfresco breakfast.

Miinukset: The AC in our room did not work. The music that was piped-in throughout the hotel was terrible, and the bar had no vibe whatsoever. The staff (with the exception of Anastasia, who was wonderful) was aloof.

Plussat: Good location with friendly staff

Plussat: Only location

Miinukset: The recipient staff not good should work in 2 star hotel

Plussat: We were surprised to be given the corner suite! It was spacious with a tub I never wanted to get out of. We loved this hotel. It was warm and inviting with a great staff.

Miinukset: Zero complaints.

Plussat: Great property in a great location. Spent three nights here and could not fault the place.

Miinukset: No complaints at all.

Plussat: All the staff is very friendly, helpful and always wear a smile. Everywhere is clean and tidy. Bed is comfortable. The cleaning maid has done a very good job during our stay. Room is very quiet even though on 1st floor looking out to the street. Breakfast is up to standard. And very dog-friendly (our dog was happy as well).

Miinukset: The facilities are a little poor for a 5 star hotel, plastic disposable cup in the bathroom, no kettle for hot water.

Plussat: AVERAGE

Miinukset: A PROPER BED AND UPTODATE ROOM

Plussat: Great place, very nice staff. great breakfast. Will stay again

Plussat: Free valet parking and staff

Miinukset: Broken air conditioning Not very comfortable bed and pillows Room service doesn’t answer the phone The facilities in the room are poor quality (plastic glasses, no coffee machine etc)

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Everything. Nice and clean. Good breakfast.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The swimming pool The design of the rooms The reception staff

Miinukset: The terrace is in reality a bunker. Too much concrete.

Plussat: Great hotel, we were a bit early and they allowed us to check in a bit early which was great! The free bikes as well as the swimming pool was a big plus. And the breakfast for 5 euro was really amazing. I never had such a cheap breakfast with such great queslity

Plussat: Room very comfortable and convenient nice bathroom. Very quiet. Nice pool and great to have bicycles available to go to the city center

Miinukset: Cold scrambled eggs . Should be fixed

Plussat: Aamupala, polkupyörät, henkilökunta

Miinukset: Ikä alkoi näkyä, sijainti teollisuus alueella ja ikävä matka keskustaan

Plussat: Compared to the location it’s very good

Miinukset: Air conditioning And the mattress

Plussat: Room and bathroom were very nice, comfortable beds.

Miinukset: Dusty under beds, swimming pool hours very short, starting 10am to 8pm, even if their information says it opens at 9am. Location away from city centre.

Plussat: Clean and comfortable, very modern hotel.

Plussat: Swimming pool

Miinukset: The smell in the bathroom (room 101). Ventilation probably does not work. TV control command didn’t work well. Too little tv offering in French, especially for children. Difficult access to Parma center, the hotel offers no facilitation to park near the center of Parma and taxi fees 8,00 euros 1 way for 2 km is way too expensive.

Plussat: This hotel - and Parma itself - were delightful revelations. When we arrived we were greeted with a really warm welcome from an extremely friendly lady at reception who took the time to explain everything to us really clearly. The quality of the room and its facilities were excellent, with high quality furnishing and fittings, and all cleaned spotlessly. The food in the hotel was excellent - we had a superb lunch on the first day and we then had dinner on the second day. It was great to have an outdoor pool in which to relax the end of the day, and the hotel provided towels etc for this. Getting to and from the town of Parma was a short taxi ride (€7-10 depending on the time of day) and the hotel organised this very willingly. The taxi always arrived in less than 5 minutes. As for Parma itself there is lots to do and see, and we found an excellent 2 hour walking tour at the tourist office in the centre for €15 each. We had an excellent guide who explained the history of the city from Roman times, and showed us the main buildings and places of interest. It's a place to which we will return as we only stayed for 2 nights, and we won't even think about using any other hotel when we do.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Miinukset: Should not be called a "Plus" in terms of Best Western. Stayed at a Best Western Plus in Genoa and it was far superior. Room was too small for a family

Plussat: Sijainti oli kannaltani erinomainen

Miinukset: Ilmastointi oli remontoitavana, ulkona 28C ja sisällä vähintään sama. Tästä olisi voinut ilmoittaa, koska se oli hotellin tiedossa jo hyvän aikaa. Se olisi myös voinut näkyä hinnassa. Huonetta mainostettiin sillä, että siinä on ilmastointi.

Plussat: I think we had good value for money since we had a special deal for the room. Du Parc is a nice Hotel, the entry hall is built in an old grand style and very spacious. The room is nice and big with plenty of furniture and places to put your suitcases. We managed to get the last parking spot infront of the Hotel for free, but there is parking for a fee in a garage underneath the Hotel.

Miinukset: There were no toiletries in the bathroom. The rooms are a bit dark since the walls and furniture is all kept very dark and the windows are not that big and ours pointed into a courtyard. We can not recommend the Restaurant in the Hotel. But there are plenty of Restaurants in the old city of Parma and all over the place.

Plussat: Beautiful and clean hotel, large and cozy room. few minutes walk from the city center. The staff was a bit sour and not very sympathetic. Although breakfast can change every day, unfortunately the breakfast today was very simple and many items just ran out an hour before closing. The scrambled egg was smelled very Bad.

Miinukset: The staff was a bit sour and not very sympathetic. Although breakfast can change every day, unfortunately the breakfast today was very simple and many items just ran out an hour before closing. The scrambled egg was smelled very Bad.

Plussat: Amazing hotel! Its interior and staff resembled something from the good old times when staying at hotel was more of an experience than an everyday thing. Very spacious and well equipped room. Hotel restaurant dinner was also good, while the staff made it even more special. Many thanks - I would think of going back one day to spend more time there just as an experience! Mille grazie!

Plussat: The furnishing of the hotel is nice and the rooms keep the same luxury style. The staff was friendly and the location close enough to the city center to go by foot.

Miinukset: Given the location they could provide free parking, instead most spaces are charged 10€/day. There is an option to upgrade your room at a cost in order to have high speed internet and complementary drinks and parking. The price is worth the value you get, but in several 4 stars hotels all these perks are included in the price of the standard room.

Plussat: Beautifully decorated Art Deco style hotel, our bedroom was large with a huge comfortable bed, tea and coffee making facilities in the room and lovely large towels, very luxurious. The staff were excellent, breakfast was included for us and was great. We ate dinner in the dining room, the decor and service were fabulous.

Plussat: Big spacious room for family and large bathroom

Plussat: Very big room (family room). Nice and helpful staff

Miinukset: Breakfast was fine but could have a more varied assortment of bread. The hotel is undertaking some refurbishments and some areas are outdated and needed of improvements.

Plussat: Cleanliness, comfort, service

Plussat: Old school grandeur and super clean. 24 hour check in perfect after traveling 24 hours.

Plussat: Everything was perfect. Parking in front of hotel is free and there is another one underground for 10e a day

Plussat: Fantastic location.

Miinukset: Preferred staff to make the coffee not the machine.

Plussat: Location was brilliant, ur not that easy to find

Miinukset: Not very helpful breakfast staff

Plussat: Fantastic location and the staff were excellent.

Miinukset: The bed was OK, but not great. Typical for Europe though.

Plussat: Nice location and very helpful staff. The staff was exceptional.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The location

Miinukset: Not welcoming staff during check in. Very serious, not smiling and wanted to keep my identity without asking to input the data to the system. Check out was a little better.

Plussat: Location is fantastically central in pedestrian zone Small but comfortable single room with shower room and air conditioning Bar and sitting area in reception Breakfast, good choice of sweet and savoury Map and advice on reception

Miinukset: Nothing much except that breakfast coffee machine was Nescafé, not quite so delicious

Plussat: Great location in the centre My room had a balcony with a view of the church

Plussat: Hotel is in an excellent position and offered off street parking. The hotel staff were excellent and when we had a minor plumbing issue came immediately and sorted it. Very friendly and excellent service. The breakfast was excellent with a good choice of items. An Italian friend told me the food in Parma is better than the Parma food (ham cheese etc) in other parts of Italy let alone other countries. I was sceptical but not now - a convert and a gourmet's delight

Miinukset: As ever in Italian ZTLs I found navigating to the hotel tricky (using google maps) but mainly as I think the phone signal struggles to locate the vehicle quickly enough. The hotel offered excellent directions on departure, so maybe ask for directions on how to get there. Once there the hotel and the city of Parma are well worth the effort.

Plussat: Great location once you have worked out the one way system to get there!

Plussat: The rooms are clean and tidy, and the location of the hotel is perfect, right in the city centre. Breakfast was acceptable.

Miinukset: Contrary to the description, hotel doesn't offer parking, it is actually a public parking garage about 10 minutes away from the hotel. The rooms don't have air conditioning and are above a very noisy bar or night club, which makes sleeping impossible. The door to our room was wide open (!!) when we returned from dinner, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Plussat: Room 201 is perfect with access to an expanded balcony area. Extend breakfast 30

Miinukset: Extend breakfast hours 30 minutes. Not a big deal but that’s the only thing I suggest.

Plussat: Excellent breakfast Large veranda Good TV service Good location Helpful staff Good refrigerator Elegant linens Safe in room

Miinukset: Limited access to car in car park Shower AC controls non- responsive Needed to re-log in to WiFi each time devices were turned off or left the premises

Plussat: We had a deluxe room - very spacious and comfortable. Good breakfast buffet and s really charming barman for the evering apero. Great location for central Parma and the delightful river walks.

Miinukset: The view of the neighbours leaving rubbish on their balconies was definitely a no- no.

Plussat: A nice hotel in a charming city, close walk to the centre core. vert helpful front desk staff

Plussat: Elegant hotel with comfortable beds and a good buffet type breakfast

Miinukset: I had 2 rooms. 668 was perfect but 666 had worn and thorn furniture. One leg of the chair was broken. A/C was very loud.

Plussat: Extremely good and big breakfast and very close parking ( 10 euro)

Miinukset: Room a bit small and noisy air con.

Plussat: The location is great for visiting the centre of town. The staff were very friendly and helpful and recommended an outstanding tour for cheese and ham visits. The room was spacious and well-equipped. Breakfast was very nice and I was grateful to the staff who offered to make me a barista coffee and remembered my preference the following morning.

Miinukset: the bed and pillows were not very comfortable, and the shower was a bit small given the huge size of the bathroom.

Plussat: Very good breakfast

Plussat: The location is great and the staff were extremely helpful. The breakfast was fantastic and we had a lovely room.

Plussat: The location was good.

Miinukset: The room was quite a bit smaller than expected from the photos and somewhat shabby. The review of the restaurant indicated that it was supposed to be good and it had terrible service and very disappointing food.

Plussat: The room was quite large and very clean. Bed was super comfortable, location strategic for appointment I had nearby. Free parking also very convenient

Plussat: Parking and restaurant, good for quick Night over. Nice shopping malls in walking distance

Miinukset: Everything was okish

Plussat: A little bit outside of Parma. (30 min walk) Easy to park outside. Rooms good and well equipped but TV is small. Excellent Breakfast. Would stay here again

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Size

Plussat: Reception were very welcoming and all staff were pleasant. Room was of decent size. Had specified a bath which was of whirlpool type but didn't check if this facility worked. Free room safe. Breakfast was superb. Held in pleasant restaurant with amazing food choice; scrambled eggs, bacon, 6 different cold meats, 5 cheeses, fruit, pastries etc.. All kept well stocked and spotless. Excellent coffee. Aperitivo in lounge bar from 6.00 pm with selection of free nibbles. Restaurant meals were good and prices, including drinks, were reasonable. Bus stop quite close and euro 2 each into city takes about 20 minutes. Taxi back in evening was only euros 12 for four people including tip.

Miinukset: Room showed signs of ageing. Air conditioning just about coped though had to be on permanently, even at night; shutters kept closed during day to keep out blazing sun; day temperature about 30C. The shower was over the middle of the bath with the screen at one end so was awkward to use. No forced ventilation in bathroom. Hanging space split into two, horizontally, with upper half too high; needed to be six feet tall to reach. I guess we were in the older part.

Plussat: The hotel itself was clean and the staff was very friendly. Room service was great and the room was always clean, the beds were quite comfortable and the ac worked great considering it was nearly 100 degrees every day we were there. Onsite parking was free and secure, so that was a plus and unexpected in Europe.

Miinukset: The location was not too far away from the city center, however with the construction of the main highway right outside the hotel, one direction was completely shut down, causing you to have to go way out of the way if you made a wrong turn. Just something to think about when parking in the parking lot (make sure you are parked so that you can go out the entrance). Also, the breakfast staff seemed very unhappy and unpleasant every morning, there were a lot of flies in the food area, and many of the warm items such as eggs were not refilled in a timely manner.

Plussat: Receptionist and lobby bartender were very nice.

Miinukset: The restaurant and the room were too hot. We had specifically booked the hotel because it was air-conditioned but even with the room down to the coldest setting, we were uncomfortably hot.

Plussat: Easy stop over, great location and comfy beds

Miinukset: Internet too slow for Outlook and the Exchange Server.

Plussat: Free bicycles were great but guests should note they only have 2 and you can't book them in advance!

Miinukset: Wifi was very poor in the bedrooms. Breakfast options for coeliacs were very limited. Coffee was terrible!

Plussat: Staff were very nice. Breakfast had much more variety than we expected. Room was very big. For the price, probably the best hotel in Parma.

Miinukset: Hotel was a bit old but very clean. Can't complain.

Plussat: The staff was efficient getting us to our rooms quickly at the late hour we arrived. Check out was quick and there was no problem storing our luggage for a few hours.

Plussat: Large clean room with a lovely bathroom and comfy bed

Miinukset: Slightly out of town but easy to park

Plussat: Good food and location

Miinukset: large group of young students took up a lot of space.

Plussat: Holiday inn Express is known through out the world for an expected standard in standardised accommodation.This hotel met that criteria.

Miinukset: Met our requirements

Plussat: Speedy check in. Clean rooms. Great showers. Comfortable beds. Great air conditioning. Interconnecting rooms. Plenty of choice for breakfast. Hot and cold choices with eggs and bacon. Just what we needed for a stop over.

Miinukset: Restaurant quality not great for the price and not an extensive menu. But it was late and we were tired and hungry so we gave it a try. We were filled- but not the enjoyment of the cuisine we have been used to in Italy.

Plussat: The staff there were very nice and friendly to all of us. Hotel was very clean and breakfast was excellent.

Miinukset: Nothing to complain about.

Plussat: We travelled with our Dog and Cat the hotel was very accommodating, the room was very big and comfortable , and very peaceful. Breakfast was good with hot and cold choices.

Miinukset: A little bit hard to locate.

Plussat: Comfy bed

Miinukset: Area is a bit pokey

Plussat: No breakfast taken.

Miinukset: The only restaurant is like a student hall of residence, although a rather exclusive one. We see a new restaurant is currently under construction. That should help.

Plussat: Very comfortable room, quite new and friendly personal.

Miinukset: Only hiphop and house music during breakfast is a hard start of the day and wifi not really strong..

Plussat: Dinner superb They just need to keep ev parking free

Plussat: New hotel on top location. The reception desk was kind and helpful.

Miinukset: The hotel is still on construction. That is kind of weird..

Plussat: Room comfort, breakfast, nice people

Miinukset: Area is a bit strange

Plussat: Huge and free parking lot. Nice bathroom. Outside the town, but very close to the Motorway and the Parma "ring" (tangential road). Very convenient price.

Miinukset: The hospitality wasn't the best I ever had: there was a congress, and maybe the personnel at the reception was a little bit under pressure and tired, but they were cold and they didn't show me at all the options. The room was a little small, and there were a lot of noises (thin walls, automatic machines).

Miinukset: There was a lot of noise between the rooms

Plussat: The Hotel was good overall

Miinukset: The staff should be extra courteous

Plussat: Bed was very comfortable

Miinukset: Shower was dripping water and bathroom could have been cleaner shower screen had not been cleaned and had water stains

Plussat: Everything was great!

Miinukset: Unfortunately, the hotel located too far from the city center

Plussat: Staff was wonderful and facilities were great especially for the price.

Miinukset: Only issue was it is not conveniently located at all and requires you take a taxi to and from the hotel. Maybe a shuttle service or public transportation in the area would be really helpful.

Plussat: clean place good food not enough parking

Miinukset: week Wi Fi the room heating

Plussat: Dinner was delicious

Miinukset: Moquette out of my room is very old and a bit dirty. Gym not cleaned and fitness equipment not well maintained .

Plussat: breakfast was good

Miinukset: the noise isolation in the rooms is so bad that you can imagine living together with people from neighbour rooms

Plussat: Good location for train station, great breakfast very friendly restaurant staff

Plussat: Easy to find after getting off the autostrada.

Miinukset: Room was very small.

Plussat: Typical, but good motorway hotel...fast access from motorway, clean and with friendly stuff. Good value for money.

Miinukset: Rooms have poor sound insulation (you can hear everything from the hallway).

Plussat: Much improved since our last stay. Total renovation

Plussat: We looked for something close to the autobahn and found a nice hotel, with friendly staff, save and spacious parking and an excellent restaurant nearby. Thanks for the recommendation! Excellent breakfast

Plussat: Good breakfast and friendly staff. Free parking. Rooms were nice and clean and no problems getting to the city on bus.

Miinukset: Not much nearby to eat but restaurant we were referred to was great I Du Matt.

Plussat: The service is superb. Hotel staff kind, friendly and so efficient. Cleanliness. Quietness.

Miinukset: Perhaps another chair for the balcony. But nothing wrong at all.

Plussat: The breakfast in Parma was amazing, it had many options to choose from.

Miinukset: The bed was too hard and needs to be replaced.

Plussat: staff were friendly

Miinukset: beds were too soft

Plussat: Modern building in a residential/light industrial area; not pretty, but quite practical and good gelato on the ground floor. Free parking. Easy, direct drive to central city with banks, supermarket, shopping mall, restaurants along the way. Room was small with usual tiny shower, but otherwise well-equipped. AC would not start in our room, but birds sang through the open window. Desk clerk did not speak English but we got along in French. Breakfast included and very complete and satisfying. I would absolutely stay there again.

Plussat: Big bathroom and quite good accessories. Parking quite big. Breakfast was normal in comparing what it is used to have in Italy. It was nice to have balcony with view to the city and also was good to have this special protection for the window from sun and noise. Staff was good.

Miinukset: Room was small with some strange polysterol covering of the walls in the perimeter. Small TV was standing on the table in the left side from the bed and to watch it was not so comfortable.

Plussat: Cleanliness. Size of room. Availability of a kettle in the breakfast room to make tea.

Miinukset: Breakfast was a bit limited.

Plussat: The hotel and the room looked beautiful and it was in a comfortable location.

Miinukset: The staff did not speak English almost at all, so it was impossible to ask questions.

Plussat: Comfortable renovated rooms, good breakfast, friendly staff, 2 minutes to the train station. Overall good value.

Miinukset: Rooms are on the small side but this is Europe..

Plussat: Jos matkustetaan junalla ei ole parempaa sijaintia

Miinukset: Ei ole mitään sanottavaa

Plussat: Lovely staff and great location

Miinukset: Our air conditioning didn't work and the bedroom was a little dark, bathroom didn't feel super clean.

Plussat: Air conditioning worked well, and we had a small balcony at our room too. Eventhough the breakfast was very simple I got my stomach full and the service was nice. The location was very near the city central and the parking garage felt very safe. Not much noise from the street, could hear some trains arriving in the morning but it was not too noisy. Mini fridge at the room was nice.

Miinukset: Room was very basic and it was a bit worn off from here and there (mold on the corners of shower, paint off from floor). The hotel was a maze, had to take two different elevators to get to the room. Garage was maybe a bit hard to find (around the corner) and the garage exit was quite narrow. The old gentleman on the reception was charming and polite but didn't speak much english, only few words. Not much fresh things (fruits or vegetables) to eat at breakfast.

Miinukset: Bad hotel. No fruits in the breakfast, when they put fruit they put very few amount. Bad staff and some of the staff talk about me to someone outside the hotel after leave the hotel and say I am rich person and do shopping and It seems this staff work with others to stole money and I feel unsafe after knowing that!!!!

Plussat: Very clean. Real wood floor. New air conditioner which was very important because it was very hot outside. Location is excellent: walking distance from the train station and also about 10 minutes to the center of the old town.

Miinukset: We would like more fruits for breakfast.

Plussat: - perfect location - less than 10 minutes to the city centre - friendly and helpful staff

Miinukset: - very limited breakfast, with plastic glasses ...

Plussat: Ideally located with good links to transport. Comfortable room and friendly efficient staff. Our room was ready when we arrived about 9am from an early flight.

Miinukset: Everything was good.

Plussat: Loistava sijainti. Rautatieasemalle vain 100 m. Rautatieaseman ympäristö siisti ja rauhallinen. Myös ostoskadut ja vanhakaupunki lyhyen kävelymatkan päässä. Huone oli siisti ja tilava, samoin kylpyhuone. Suihkutila oli hieman kulahtanut ja suihkuverho olisi syytä vaihtaa. Aamiainen oli hyvä, erityisesti sämpylät maukkaita. Mukava asiakaspalvelu.

Miinukset: Olisimme kaivanneet parempaa kaupunkikarttaa. Suihkutila kaipaisi uudistusta.

Plussat: Kiva hotelli aivan rautatieaseman vieressä. Keskustaan lyhyt kävelymatka. Hotelli siisti, huone viihtyisä, tilava. Rauhallinen hotelli. Erittäin ystävällinen henkilökunta.

Miinukset: Aamupala oli melko niukka, ei mitään kasviksia tarjolla. Ilmastointi oli kovaääninen ja toimi ajoittain epätasaisesti.

Plussat: The bed is very confortable and the breakfast has many varieties

Miinukset: There is no light in the ceiling of the bedroom, o ly 3 small lamps around, so it was very dark and impossible to read at night. The chairs in the breakfast are very uncomfortable.

Plussat: Very smart and modern. Friendly staff. Excellent shower although the splashing on to floor was worrying. Used a lot of towels to mop up.

Plussat: Breakfast was ok. Comfortable bed with nice pillows.

Miinukset: Bathroom a little small. Being in the first floor facing the road, there was a lot of traffic noise.

Plussat: Good location for exploring Parma.

Miinukset: Nice reception, but poor rooms. The cheapest shower enclosure I have ever seen. The staff seemed to prefer it if you weren’t there, always seemed a bit of a bother to talk to you. The restaurant, advertised as one of the best in Parma.....well, just don’t. I suppose we should have been suspicious, past 8:00 pm and empty with only 2 tables set. A most cantankerous waiter, shouted from the kitchen to see if we were ready to order, then told us the only wine was a local Lambrusco, did we want red or white? When asked if he had a wine list, he said no! When asked again for a wine list, he simply said red or white and walked of. After five minutes we left. This would have been bad in England but in Italy?

Plussat: American style pancakes for breakfast. Hotel was not crowded at all.

Miinukset: The hotel is very old, staying in our room felt like i traveled back in time 50 years. Requested a quiet room, however there was some constant noise of an air conditioner coming from outside. The air conditioner in the room was not influencing the temperature of the room at all. It has maybe made it even warmer. The gym is super hot room of 10m2 with 3 equipments inside. The parking is 15 EUR per night, and it is valet parking. Sounds great, but we saw the driver bashing the door of a car upon return to the wall, and not caring about it.

Plussat: Room was really nice, breakfast was really good

Miinukset: The windows were a bit stiff but everything else was good

Plussat: Nice beds. Old style huge key chains. Normal Italian breakfast with very delicious waffles from very special waffle iron.

Miinukset: Window blinds fixed with bolts. So we had two rooms without windows. Not any place to sit outside of the hotel. Our car had some damages in their parking lot.

Plussat: Huone oli tilaava, aamiainen hyvä ja sijanti hyvä

Miinukset: Huoneen (S/E) siisteys oli välttävä. Kokolattiamatot nuhruiset.

Plussat: The location and the breakfast. Really good breakfast with fresk fruit salad, waffle, etc.

Plussat: Hotel Lobby is comfortable. Hotel staff are friendly to keep our luggage.

Miinukset: Room Air conditioner is weak and dirty. No tea pot and tea bag in room do not fit our expectations about 4 star Hotel. Also no support free water ( drinking fountain)to customers Comparing to other 4 star hotels in Italy is obviously unfriendly to their customers .

Plussat: Spotlessly clean and great location.

Plussat: Nice Location.

Miinukset: Some rooms are too loud. I have to change the room.

Plussat: Location and friendly staff. Breakfast was ok

Miinukset: A/C did'nt work in the room. Talk to reception a few times but still didn't work.

Plussat: Miljöö oli mielenkiintoinen niin rakennus kuin kalustus. Henkilökunta mukava. Aamiainen ok. Sijainti oli hyvä.

Miinukset: Suihkusta tuli niin vähän vettä, että oli vaikeuksia saada saippua huuhdeltua iholta. Ilmastointi ei toiminut. Jonkin verran liikenteen melua kuului sisään.

Plussat: Loved the hotel - built in 1910 with many attractive original features and friendly very helpful staff. Good size room with fresh Art Deco furnishings and decor comfortable bed. Shower room fine. 15 min walk into town across pleasant parkland. Breakfast fine. Several good restaurants in walking distance but need to book.

Miinukset: Set back from the road but it can be quite noisy. We slept with double glazed windows shut which was fine but the weather was cool. If it were hot you’d need the air con on but we never needed to try it. We used taxis to get into town at night and they were easily available.

Plussat: Coffee was good at breakfast. All staff were helpful and friendly. Giulia at reception was a lovely girl for whom nothing was too much trouble. Made some calls for us and was very helpful. We enjoyed the balcony off our room, overlooking the park.

Miinukset: Breakfast on the second morning was not as good as first. Less toast options, no boiled eggs, less cold cuts. We enjoyed the first morning. So breakfast is hit and miss. No glasses in the room; no tea/coffee. Quite a walk from the train and the city centre. We didn't mind but others might require a taxi.

Plussat: The staff, the breakfast, the shower, the beautiful ducal park across the street

Plussat: Nice hotel but next time I would look for something more central. Helpful staff.

Plussat: The staff is extremely helpful and pleasant. There is parking space. Our room was on a quiet street.

Plussat: Staff very helpful , great if travelling by car

Miinukset: Air conditioning not very effective

Plussat: The Hotel was attractive from outside. There was parking on site (€10 per night). . The room was clean & the bed was comfortable.

Miinukset: The decor was rather dark in the rooms for my taste. The breakfast choices were limited & on our second morning the only bread choice was sliced bread for toast (usually a 4☆ would offer a few more options. )

Plussat: Only stayed there a short time . Old fashioned inside but spotlessly clean. Staff very friendly and helpful

Miinukset: Would have liked more choice at breakfast
