Raffaele

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Niente... mi dispiace doverlo dire, ma è stata un’esperienza davvero spiacevole: il materasso era talmente vecchio e deformato da rendere impossibile dormire. Nel 2025, non mi aspettavo certo di trovare una sistemazione con un letto in quelle condizioni, pieno di affossamenti e scomodo al punto da rovinare il soggiorno. Sinceramente, è inaccettabile offrire un simile livello di qualità ai propri ospiti. Peccato, perché sarebbe bastato poco per rendere l’esperienza migliore.

Soggiorno molto piacevole

Mi sono trovato molto bene. Camera pulita e comoda, ottima posizione per raggiungere tutto a piedi ma appena fuori dal centro, quindi tranquilla. Aria condizionata e frigorifero ci hanno salvato le giornate. Personale molto gentile e estremamente disponibile. Siamo stati sfortunati in quanto nel cortile adiacente cominciavano a fare lavori molto presto svegliandoci, in aggiunta a un forte vociare nei corridoi della struttura da parte di altri ospiti, ma ovviamente niente che la struttura possa controllare

Bettola è dir troppo!

abbiamo soggiornato 3 giorni e ovviamente non avevamo grosse pretese oltre alla pulizia ma locanda per questa bettola è dire troppo. Puzza di fumo per una stanza per non fumatori che non è andata via neanche dopo aver svuotato un'intera confezione di oust nell'ambiente. Puzza che aumentava con l'aumentare del caldo all'interno della stanza, purtroppo tende, suppellettili e pareti era impregnate e a nulla è valso tenere per un giorno intero le finestre spalancate... che al 10 dicembre... bagno fatiscente, pavimento a terra in laminato praticamente divelto, per non parlare della polvere, a batuffoli, ritrovata sulla spalliera del divano letto aperto per il terzo posto letto richiesto. Tornerò spesso a Ferrara... mai più i questa locanda!

Un très bon séjour dans une très belle ville

Grand appart avec cuisine et espace salon partagé avec la chambre, très bien situé, dans le centre historique. Un peu loin de la gare ferroviaire si à pied autrement prendre bus numero 3, il y a un arrêt à 2 mn de l’auberge. Pas de petitdej, mais un très bon cafe/pâtisserie au bout de la rue ainsi qu’un excellent glacier. Un bon rapport/qualité prix pour la ville de Ferrare

Si tratta di un buon residence in pieno centro. Camera ampia, luminosa, dotata anche di cucina separata. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Unico neo: il televisore perdeva il segnale continuamente con un effetto fortemente disturbante.

A great choice with a weird beginning

In the end the hotel was amazing, my room was huge, with a full kitchen, and double bed all for less than 40 euros, which was great. Less great was the fact that I actually stayed at a different physical location apparently owned by the same person, so there was some confusion actually getting to my room. The owner was very helpful and available 24/7, and check-in check-out were both very easy and casual.
