HOTEL STENDHAL

Very nice!

Very modern update of timeless elegance

First, the staff was FABULOUS, especially Daniella and Finica (sp?), both went out of their way to provide me with the comforts they could. They were wonderful! However, I was informed after I’d checked in that the City of Parma doesn’t allow hotels to turn on AC until a specific date. My reservation clearly stated that my room had individually controlled AC and heat. It was miserably hot without AC, even with the windows open. My room was also next to a busy street, so it was quite loud at night with the windows open. Advertising AC, and then not providing it is a HUGE breach of ethics, in my opinion. The hotel’s website also said they have a bar. I was advised that it was closed during COVID and never reopened. Really? The website hadn’t been updated in 4 years to reflect the change?!

The location of the hotel is excellent. It’s about 5 minutes from the train station and a few minutes from attractions. My room was very comfortable and was spotlessly clean. I would have preferred lighter bed linen, than a quilt, but that is a personal presence. I also would have appreciated a complementary bottle of water given the cost of the hotel. I was disappointed that the bar was not opened as it was advertised as having one. Maybe it is open during the Summer. As a solo traveller, I like the option of having a quite drink at nighttime at a hotel. However, this is a beautiful hotel, I enjoyed my stay and I will consider staying here again when I next visit Parma.

Easy check in. Room was clean. Breakfast was good. Parking was easy (just book ahead!) Room however was extremely hot. I couldn't get the fan to work and did not sleep well due to this. I know many hotels tend to be hot, but wow, considering it was not even hot outside it was ridiculous.

Nice hotel in good location for seeing local sites. The room was nice but the mattress was very stiff (hard).

Beautiful hotel and such a perfect location. We loved our stay here. We hope to return.

A very nice room in an excellent location near the city center. The next time we stay in Parma we will stay here.

Great location. Very clean and spacious rooms.

Pleasant staff and comfortable and clean hotel.
