Pros:

Possibilità di caricare auto elettrica
Comodità letto
Comodità parcheggio
Accappatoio superiore + ciabatte per camera
Accoglienza e professionalità dello staff

Cons:

La posizione rispetto al centro, 25 minuti a piedi ma l'hotel mette a disposizione delle bici a noleggio, quindi non è un vero punto a sfavore

Pros:

The staff is great. The hotel makes sure you have everything you need in the room; I'm just bummed that they don't put a trash bag in the bin, so the cleaner has to be exposed to the garbage like that.

Cons:

There wasn't anything we didn't like, except that the food at the hotel's restaurant needs improvement.

Pros:

Everything got really well explained when we arrived, the conditions, the area, recommendations for dinner etc. the breakfast was really delicous, room had for us enough space.

Cons:

They were having a large group on site, that filled the restaurant completely. Thus, we had to find something on our own. But, we received great reommendations!

A very comfortable modern hotel with great staff.
Pros:

A great hotel with lovely and helpful staff. Just off the motorway in a quiet location with parking right outside. The rooms are all spacious and potlessly clean.

Cons:

The location is on the edge of an industrial estate but only a 5 minute drive to the lovely centro storico of Parma.
