Don't Judge a Book By its Cover?

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 6 Apr 2019
Well, this was a surprise!, I had a room booked for me on a recent trip and as I drove past I must admit I had that sinking feeling, however what a surprise, the hotel was clean and fitted out to a decent standard.

The staff at check in where very helpful and the room was surprisingly good, very clean and comfortable if a little dated with its dark wood furniture. The room had plenty of desk room to allow you to work if needed with a great free wifi service.

The bathroom was clean with a good supply of hot water in the shower, the shower door was probably the only negative issue I could comment on with a near impossible to stop it from flooding the bathroom.

No english TV channels could be found!

We enjoyed a pleasant meal from a fairly limited menu, but it did the trick.

The room, although overlooking a busy highway junction was spacious and clean. There was only one English TV channel which was disappointing.
The fitness centre is in a different building at the back and we were unsure the last time it had been cleaned - the steam room smelt mouldy and the floor was dirty. The 'hot' tub was lukewarm and the towel baskets full despite the hotel not being busy.

I've been here several times and the rooms were always different. If you wan't a quiet room, you should contact the hotel in advance - seriously.
Breakfast and dinner in their restanurant were always very good with a large selection of food. After dinner your get really good italian coffee, for breakfast just instant coffee out of a machine made of plastic.
Parking might be an issue if you arrive late.

Room tip: If you want a quiet room, please avoid "new" rooms.

I spent 3 nights there on a business trip. The room is outdated with wooden cabinetry, but decent size. Big bathroom but the shower head area is too small. Water pressure was not much either, but doable. Staff was very nice, the breakfast was good. Free parking and free WiFi!!! Only 2 English channels on TV (CNN and BBC). The hotel is about 10 mins from the center of town. the restaurant opens late, so make sure you plan accordingly.

Stayed here for three nights during a recent visit to Reggio Emelia. The hotel was comfortable although the decor is a little dated. Our room overlooked the roads so the traffic noise was a bit of a problem and the room was very warm as the air conditioning was not very efficient. This is clearly a hotel geared towards business clientele and as such lacks a little of the personal touch that you look for when on holiday. We were there for 3 days and with the exception of a very nice breakfast waiter we weren't spoken to at all.

I don’t have too many good things to say about this hotel……
Let’s start with location. Its near a main road leading into town, but still on the outskirts. This is an agricultural area, so the smell of natural fertilizer permeates the air everywhere. But this hotel seems to be located in the middle of the farm – the odor in the air is everywhere.
I was given an attic type of room with no window except a glass panel in the ceiling. The haunted house atmosphere is enhanced by dark serpentine corridors where the lights go on automatically as you proceed. The old standing wooden closets in the room complete the picture. The very low resolution TV delivers a list of foreign language channels with nothing in English.
The bed was large and very comfortable with large comfortable cushions.
The bathroom is very makeshift. A shower head is perched on the sloping wooden ceiling above the bath which is very partially enclosed by folding glass protectors which ensure a large flood of water on the floor following your shower. The towels are reasonable and they also provide a thick toweling gown and sandals. Bring your own shampoo.
The free WIFI is fast, reliable and user-friendly.
The level of cleanliness in the hotel is excellent
I asked the dining room staff to warm something for me – they completely messed up. The following night I gave them printed instructions in Italian. Again they did it completely wrong…
The gym is pathetic. One needs to cross an outdoor patio to get to the gym. The single average treadmill worked nicely and did the job for me. The single stationary bicycle did not work.
The cherry on top was when I checked out, I declared that in my windowless room I had needed to drink the bottled water on the shelf. They charged for the water!!!

Dear guest,
thanks for your review.
I am very sorry to read that some situations of his stay were not positive.
I would suggest, however, for your next stay in any hotel, the things that can be fixed immediately such as tuning the TV channels, were solicited during the stay at the hotel, so as to allow the staff in service to solve the problem. The staff is on duty 24 hours a day to settle the poblemi that can happen during a stay, unfortunately more and more often the guest is limited to write it on social networks only after having left and without having communicated anything in the hotel.
I hope to guess you soon in our hotel in order to leave you with a definitely different memory of Reggio Emilia.
Best regards
Raffaele P. , Direttore
