Parma Centro Stendhal

Very good location in the centre of Parma, right next to Palazzo della Pilotta. Classical style interior, a bit worn out, but everything is still OK overall. Good value for money. The hotel has its own closed underground parking, very small parking spaces (as is often the case in Italy), parking is an additional charge of €20 per day. Considering the recent increase in theft of items from cars, a closed parking lot is a huge plus. The internet speed was generally good, but occasionally fluctuated and sometimes fell very slowly. There is no doorman and no one helps with suitcases and no one shows you to your room. The receptionist was kind, but apparently has not been trained in customer service. In front of the neighbouring Palazzo della Pilotta, there is now a gathering place for Arab youth in the evenings, there were many of them there and they were noisy until late hours. It seems to me that given the building and location, there is a lot of unused potential to do things better, but probably that's when this kind of quality is most optimal and there is not enough demand for better quality. In conclusion, this is a suitable place to stay if you don't expect high-level service and luxury.
