Et godt og komfortabelt hotell

Et veldig bra hotell med hyggelig og meget serviceinnstilt personale. Her var ingenting et problem, og vi fikk god hjelp til de spørsmålene vi hadde. Rommene hadde grei størrelse, og det føltes at vi hadde god plass. Veldig rent og fint over alt, og det betyr mye. God frokost som hadde noe for enhver smak. Hotellet ligger et stykke fra sentrum, så du må beregne ca. 30 minutter å gå. Busstopp like i nærheten av hotellet (ca. 5 minutter å gå). Siste buss fra sentrum går rundt klokken 20:00. Taxi koster mellom 10 og 12 €. Ligger også to kjøpesentre i nærheten hvis du trenger å handle. Et lite senter ved busstopp, og et litt lengre unna (600m). Kan anbefales, og jeg bor gjerne her igjen hvis jeg skal tilbake til Ferrara.
