I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the plus side, the location is fantastic, just a short walk from the old town, and the rooms were generally clean and comfortable. However, I encountered some issues with the service, and the dining options felt a bit lacking for the price. Overall, it’s a decent choice, but there’s room for improvement.

The hotel boasts a fantastic location just three minutes from the old city, making it a great value for visiting Ferrara. However, the rooms are quite dark and not very spacious, and the service left something to be desired as I had issues with the room assigned to me. Overall, it's convenient but not the most comfortable stay.

My stay at the hotel was a bit mixed. The location was fantastic, super close to the city center and all the main attractions. The staff was quite helpful, but I did feel a bit uneasy about the room we were first offered. The dining experience was not the best due to having to eat outside despite the weather conditions. Overall, for the price, it was a decent choice, but the outdated rooms could use some serious renovation.

The hotel has a great location, being just a short walk from the old city center and near all the key attractions in Ferrara. The rooms surprised me with their spaciousness and cleanliness, making for a comfortable stay. While the dining options were basic, they were adequate for the price. The service was friendly but could be improved, especially regarding noise from the corridors. Overall, it offers good value for money, but there are a few areas that could use some enhancement.

I had a stay at this hotel that had its ups and downs. The location is fantastic, just inside the walls of the old town and close to the city center, which made exploring Ferrara super easy. The rooms were quite large but unfortunately outdated and lacking modern touches. The service was friendly but I found myself using earplugs to block out noise from the corridors. Overall, I think the hotel offers great value for money given its prime location, but improvements in the room conditions would make it even better.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, which is located just a short walk from the old city. The rooms are quite spacious and offer good value for the price, though not without some construction dust. The service was passable, but the staff had limited English skills. The dining area next door was minimalistic, and while I appreciated the convenience, the breakfast setup wasn't ideal given the weather.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. The hotel is well-located, just a short walk from the old city center, which made exploring Ferrara easy. While the room's cleanliness was decent, it didn't quite match my expectations from the photos online. I found the staff a bit unfriendly, and the dining experience left much to be desired, as we had to eat outdoors in the cold. On a positive note, the rate was affordable considering the central location.
