We loved the location, the staff and vibe of the hotel. The breakfast was wonderful- quite the spread! There is a pool but it was icy cold and not really usable so I would suggest heating the pool to make it nice for guests to use.

This hotel is tucked away in a local area but just minutes walk from the sites and main streets. The design and decor are charming and unique, but the biggest standout was the service. The staff went out of their way to help us with last minute and changing plans for the 1 night we stayed there. True hospitality!

A very unique property with very helpful staff and a charming vibe. They stored a bag for me while I met friends to sail for 8 days, and it was waiting for me in my room when I returned. Great breakfast. Easy walk to a train station, close to the main tourist area but not in the middle of it. Highly recommended.

It a nice boutique hotel, beautifully decorated, very caring staff, nice breakfast, surviving working. Room good size, close to the castle , cathedral and other attractions, lift. The only thing in the evening it is very dark outside and I felt insecure . And another minus- the left luggage kept in the lobby/ nonstick room. I would not like to leave my luggage like this .

The staff was excellent. As a group, the nicest staff I have ever experienced. The room was extraordinarily clean. Location was excellent near the cathedral. Lots of motorbikes but with the windows closed not much of an issue. Plus the food in Parma is better than the food where you are including the breakfast at the hotel which was a feast of Sicilian fruits and charcuterie.

Highlight of this hotel - the staff they were extraordinarily helpful and friendly. However, the area is disgracefully filthy and run down. The building itself is horribly deteriorated and the pumping air Freshener covers up a clear sewer smell. This smell is evident as you enter the reception area as Well as in our bathroom. The furniture is old and rundown as much as other travelers claim it is “artsy”. Motorcycles and bikes in the room? Please! It was Shocking to see so many stellar reviews! I did not want to stay here and struggled to find another hotel. The photos are Greatly misrepresenting of this hotel - Especially the line of overflowing garbage cans as you walk out the front door!!!
