Et godt og komfortabelt hotell

Et veldig bra hotell med hyggelig og meget serviceinnstilt personale. Her var ingenting et problem, og vi fikk god hjelp til de spørsmålene vi hadde. Rommene hadde grei størrelse, og det føltes at vi hadde god plass. Veldig rent og fint over alt, og det betyr mye. God frokost som hadde noe for enhver smak. Hotellet ligger et stykke fra sentrum, så du må beregne ca. 30 minutter å gå. Busstopp like i nærheten av hotellet (ca. 5 minutter å gå). Siste buss fra sentrum går rundt klokken 20:00. Taxi koster mellom 10 og 12 €. Ligger også to kjøpesentre i nærheten hvis du trenger å handle. Et lite senter ved busstopp, og et litt lengre unna (600m). Kan anbefales, og jeg bor gjerne her igjen hvis jeg skal tilbake til Ferrara.

ERA un 4 stelle, ma ora è decaduto! La stanza alla consegna, e siamo arrivati il pomeriggio inoltrato, non era affatto ben pulita, mancavano le bott. acqua i depliants messi solo il giorno dopo, e dello sporco a terra. il frigo vuoto e spento, la colazione disponibile ad un prezzo stellare 19€., per fortuna ho preso al bancone un cappuccio&cornetto 5€. intonaco qui e lè scrostato. Poi la camera è ampia come il bagno c'è tutto, gentile il personale. Ma in cocnlusione vale i 66€. a notte pagati, ma non certo i 100/120 indicati da listino. tornerei solo a quel prezzo.
