Grand Hotel de La Ville

In Parma, we have also stayed at Parizzi Suites. My review, to compare, can be found on TripAdvisor. Pros: - Location: (Walking) San Giovanni Evangelista (14mins), Piazza Garibaldi (15mins), Battistero (16mins), Cattedrale (16mins), Teatro Regio (19mins). - Bathroom amenities: Soap bar, shampoo, shower gel, body lotion, vanity kit, shower cap, shoe sponge, tissues, slippers, hairdryer (1600w). - Free in-room WiFi (good speeds, approx. 91Mbps). - In-room safe large enough for a laptop. - Excellent sound-proofing. - Friendly and helpful staff. Cons: - The hotel provides a comfortable stay, but the overall experience aligns more with a 4-star standard rather than a true 5-star in terms of amenities and service. - Breakfast was quite limited. The only hot options were scrambled eggs and bacon. - In-room amenities were sparse—no kettle, tea, or coffee, and only paper cups instead of glass or ceramic. Bathrobes were also absent. - Laundry service is restricted to basic items and is only available on weekdays, with no dry cleaning option (i.e. no suits/dresses). - The room’s lighting controls were unnecessarily complex and difficult to navigate. - The shower temperature fluctuated unpredictably, alternating between hot and cold randomly.

Nice hotel designed by the famous architect Renzo Piano. The hotel is practical, offers a nice buffet breakfast, is reachable by foot from interesting Parma monuments, and good restaurants. My room was very quiet and one could make it completely dark.

Location comoda con parcheggio privato. Personale gentile e professionale. Buon pranzo veloce a buffet prima del convegno. Camere sufficientemente ampie, silenziose e pulite. Colazione molto varia e più che sufficiente. Promosso a pieni voti

Sicuramente non è un 5 stelle. Siamo stati comunque bene. Posizione interessante. Camera piccola. Non c’è neanche la macchina del caffè espresso. Ho dovuto chiedere gli accappatoi (dovrebbero essere presenti in bagno). Couverture serale … appena accennata. Colazione …risicata. Personale gentile. Comunque torneremo se di passaggio a Mantova ma sicuramente non merita 5 stelle. 4 sicuramente

Qualità struttura, camera, servizio e ristorante al top. Colazioni ottime e con ampia scelta. Posizione invidiabile, vicino al centro ma posizione lungo le arterie esterne. Ristorante con piatti tipici ma anche internazionali. Condizionamento un pò rumoroso.

Modern elegance. Very comfortable quiet and large rooms with quality bedding. Excellent service. Underground on site parking. Wi-Fi works well. Breakfast buffet is ample with outdoor seating. About 15 minute walk to the historic centre. Not a problem.
