We found this hotel by chance when we were travelling through Italy. For us it was a bargain as we visited in August which was their quiet season as it was a business hotel. We had a good family room with huge bathroom. The pool wasn't large, but the kids loved it as it was quiet without the hundreds of tourists we had encountered in resorts.

Breakfast was standard for 4 star with plenty of choice. We did not use the restaurant so I can not comment on it.

In response to previous reviews, we found the grounds, whilst not inspiring, clean and well maintained.

The location is out of town and is only suitable if you have your own vehicle, it is in a good location if heading down the motorway and need a stop off for the night.

This hotel was rated a four star, and the online photos bore that out. However, when we drove up to the hotel, our spirits dropped dramatically. The entrance and the grounds of the hotel were not well maintained at all. Weeds, cigarette butts, bits of trash everywhere. I was considering canceling, and paying the cancellation charge. We went into the hotel and found a pretty decent 3 star place. Staff was nice and accomodating.
It was a warm day, and our group wanted to use the pool. Upon entering the pool area, we were again very surprised by the lack of attention to the grounds. The lawn was dying in spots, needed mowing and trimming. The bushes were all overgrown and needed pruning. The flower beds were full of leaves and debris. The pool itself was nice, but the grounds were embarrasingly unkempt.
The rooms were nice and clean and the bathrooms likewise.
I complained to the management about the care of the grounds, and the manager claimed that it was a money problem. However, I felt that the worst of the problems could have been solved fairly cheaply and easily. No excuse for the grounds being so poorly maintained.

Restaurant was nice, but way overpriced, and menu was limited. We went to a nearby family restaurant and had a fine dinner.

we stayed here thinking it was in the city but it wasnt. We had a car so that was fine & such a big hotel would not fit into the charecter of the main city. The hotel is more of a business style hotel & some of the staff wernt as helpful as they probably should be to tourists that have no idea about the ares. Hotel was clean.

For my usual "end-of-the-year short trip" I decided for Parma, I've never been there before.
It has to be said the town is really lovely and a must-see (and superb food, of course); arriving by car I chose this hotel, outside the centre, taking a look at the reviews here, as usual, and the choosing was really a lucky one.
Having a car, a few minutes drive will bring you into the heart of the town. The hotel is placed in the middle of the countryside, no factories or industrial sites nearby (which you could find in other suburbs).
The room and the bed were both larger then I could expect. Breakfast above average, warm and helpful welcome, courtesy much above average.
The room and the bathroom all very clean. AC working great, you just set your best temperature and there's even almost no noise.
I just can't tell you about the restaurant because I always ate otside the hotel...

I really think that, having a car, this could be the best place to enjoy Parma.
