Fantastic hotel, clean, classy yet right across from train station; lots of places to eat around the hotel. Room was spacious for 3 of us, bathroom was nice, the shower has half door so it can get messy unless you stand right under it. Perhaps a shower curtain or a door on it will be great. Overall we loved our stay at this hotel.

Welcoming, helpful, friendly staff. They all looked as though they loved their job! Smart, comfortable hotel. So close to the station, and, therefore, the monorail to the airport and to take day trips to Parma, Modena, Ferrara. Nice easy walk through the porticos into the centre. Tutto perfetto!!!!
