Ferrara hotels

Pros: Location was great. Very kind and easy-going staff.

Pros: amazing breakfast, wide variety, fresh, plenty of it

Cons: air conditioning could've been more powerful, though I did go during a heatwave

Pros: Comfy bed. Interesting furnishings. Staff. Good internet in breakfast room

Pros: Location is central old town, great for walking around and enjoying the city. Our hosts were cheerful and accommodating. The facility was immaculately clean and well-appointed. Nice breakfast.

Cons: Driving in required going through restricted area, but our host assured us that he would address any issues with the authorities. The public parking lot was not "2 minutes" away, rather about 10 minutes, and very crowded (though cheap). Wi-Fi was weak.

Pros: Wonderful position, right in front of the cathedral. Very good breakfast (with typical cakes from Ferrara). The staff was super helpful and nice.

Pros: Great location and the view from the room is exceptional! The staff is friendly and the breakfast is wonderful - eggs, cheeses, meat and a wide variety of delicious, including homemade, pastries! I will definitely return to this gorgeous town and fantastic hotel.

Pros: A wonderful stay. The room with the castle view is amazing. The woman at the desk is very helpful.

Cons: All is perfect!

Pros: Great location, big bedroom, lovely open terrace for breakfast/drinks

Cons: Funny location on the 3rd floor of a building, had to ring bell 5 times before someone opened the door on the ground floor.

Pros: The rooms with views over Ferrara’s main square are simply stunning. They are also very large and comfortable. Excellent bar on a rooftop terrace. Super helpful staff. Parking is possible in a parking lot around 300 m away.

Cons: Unfortunately no breakfast is offered on location but there are several options arouns the hotel.

Pros: Hotel is located on the main Ferrara squire, easy to find, easy to access. Stuff was nice and helpful, room spacious and clean. Breakfast was simple but good.

Cons: we did not find the way how to turn on the lights in the bathroom :-)

Pros: Very good & convenient location

Pros: It was perfectly placed couldn’t be in a better position lovely helpful staff & so clean the room with a view over the piazza was amazing

Cons: Nothing

Pros: All was quite good. No real complaints.

Cons: They charged my card without giving me any opportunity to decide how I would like to pay (I got extra 25eur charge for currency change) and they were not too understanding and gentle in communication. But to be honest the reservation was pre-paid and they had the right to do that. Just not very nice about it. The coffee maker in the room is a cattle and some plastic cups - do not expect too much.

Pros: There was a very noisy concert on the piazza outside the front door until 2.00am for which we were not notified until check in. Disappointing customer care.

Pros: Fantastic breakfast, comfortable beds, kindness of the staff, cheap street parking pass for just €3/day, very dog friendly, Annex building is in the pedestrian zone in the middle of Ferrara just a few minutes walk of the main building, bicycles and scooters for rent. Tea cattle in the room.

Cons: The air-condition is a little bit noisy, but it was neither hot or cold, hence we just turned it off. I humbly do not understand why having a nice ceramic tea pot but offering plastic cups for hot tea in the room. It's a pity for the taste and the environment.

Pros: Great location, friendly staff, nice room

Pros: This is the second time we stayed. Amazing breakfast, fabulous locations, wonderful staff.

Pros: Beautiful, feels look me home . Highly recommended!

Pros: Quiet, v friendly and helpful hotel 100 yards from the castle. A little further to Duomo and old quarter. V good breakfast. Ferrara lovely relaxed place with much to see

Pros: ther place in the middle of the center from Ferrara

Cons: The parking facility's around the hotel.

Pros: Location of the hotel was just great, besides it was on a quiet street. I am very glad I chose this hotel on the other one. It met my expectations and I faced no problems. Lady at the reception was very kind. Breakfast was very good.

Cons: Nothing to mention.

Pros: The localization everywhere where close and the hotel is situated in the very calm area. Thus the room were very calm.

Pros: a nice building, close to the city center, aircondition, bikes for free

Pros: Location

Cons: A boiler or small pot to make tea would be usefull

Pros: What is not to like? Hostess is very friendly and takes time during check in to give you useful information about Ferrara and supermarkets close to the location. She also Location is in a quiet area, but still in walking distance (maybe 5 minutes) from the centre. Bus stop from/to the train station is a 5-10 minutes walk. Apartment was spacious, with comfortable couch and good shower. Small kitchen with microwave if you want to snack or heat some water (there is no tea kettle). The apartment is cleaned every day and that shows, it was all very neat. Breakfast was very extensive, lots of choice. The croissants and bread are fresh, even a bit warm if you are really enough. Aside from that there was also yoghurt, cereal and juice. There was always a little extra (like cake or muffins) which would change each day. The hostess insists on making the first cup of coffee (or cappuccino, or espresso) for you. Very good place to stay, it feels like home away from home.

Cons: Bed was just a bit too hard for my taste, but still comfortable enough. A tea kettle for boiling water would be nice.

Pros: The name! The peaceful location. The peace and quiet. The little kitchen was useful. The cycles in the yard. Cycling is the principal mode of transport in Ferrara.

Cons: The fact that the nearby Palazzo Schifanoia is now closed for restoration. No street view from our room.

Pros: The owners were lovely! Very hard working and very accommodating! And the property is away from the town, but close enough to get to within 20 minutes. Our room was spacious, spotless and comfortable. Breakfast offered coffee, tea, breads, yogurt, local cakes, cereals, juice, fruit and salami. Nice way to start the day! A very popular restaurant in the area, La Stella, was a 3 minute drive and we ate there all 3 nights. Great experience! It was delicious and reasonable. Try the fish soup! Seemed like many locals are there because after the second night, I began to recognize some faces:-)

Cons: The Wifi was spotty at the property.

Pros: The quiet location. The fact your cloths which you leave on a chair are hang back up in the closet. The short distance to the exhibition centre and town centre. Not more than 15 minutes by car to both.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The room and bed are generous in size. The people are friendly although my ignorance of Italian made it difficult.

Cons: The only minor issue was that the wifi did not work in our room.

Pros: Wonderful place . Nice quite family run place . There is great restaurant La Stalla near the property , with very best pizza I have ever eaten. Mast try :-)

Pros: The hotel has an excellent location in a pedestrian area of Ferrara, and all the sights can be reached on foot in few minutes. The room was very tidy with high ceilings and huge windows overlooking the street. The bathroom was very spacious with a huge walk in shower. Breakfast was tasty. A fridge in the room is a bonus (especially during summer days). The hotel is very pet friendly and our dog really felt like at home. The hotel is locked in the evening and only guests can get in. The hotel garage parking is few blocks away in a very secure garage lot, but guests can drive car right to the hotel to unload and load the luggage. The only time you cannot do it is on the market day so you should check with the hotel the market day dates. Otherwise you'll end up carrying luggage through crowds for few blocks.

Pros: Excellent location and very friendly and helpfull staff. Good size rooms.

Cons: Room could be cleaner.

Pros: I like the location in the heart of the city. All the staff is very nice and helpful.

Cons: No cabinet , no wardrobe . We stayed for 4 nights, three people and we had clothes with us but we couldn’t find space to organize our clothes. Over all ok, but I would put an extra cabinet at least in the main room. We had to wash something during our stay and in my opinion the Laundry service is too expensive!

Pros: Nice, clean and modern rooms! Great location in the centre of the city!

Cons: The breakfast room was very small, only 4 tables and the buffet had more to wish for!

Our room was huge with very comfortable beds and everything we needed. The pool was a lovely unexpected bonus, a good size and like everything else, super clean. Paulo was the perfect host and his enthusiasm for and knowledge of the property and his family’s home was great.

Thanks for everything!

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Nice staff, good wifi. Some space to play with a kid in the garden. Quiet area. Clean room.

Pros: friendly reception staff, very calm environment in the heart of the city, clean and well equipped small room

Cons: breakfast was included in the price, but I skipped it as I prefer having my morning coffee in a local cafeteria and as breakfast is rarely in any way competitive in Italian hotels, neither was it here

Pros: Very good value for money.

Cons: Did not include breakfast.
