Hotel Annunziata - Ferrara

7.3

Clean and well appointed modern property in the old city proper. The rooms are compact and clean, but not high design or luxury. You can drive to the door to unload luggage, with street parking reasonably close for Euro 3/day. The breakfast is above average. The staff is very kind and helpful. The reason to pick this property is the location, the helpful staff and reasonable value for money. Other aspects are fine -- but not outstanding. There is a separate suite facility 150m away that sounded higher end, but did not visit.

This is not only the most beautiful hotel in Ferrara, it is also one of the most beautiful and unique in the world thanks to the incredible location and excellent service. If you are in Ferrara, do not miss it.

Great location, great staff, particularly Massimilio, best breakfast. Rooms are small but clean and tidy. Great value.

9.9

This was a lovely hotel right in the middle of Ferrara. The hotel staff was exceptional - they went above and beyond anything we expected. The breakfast was also one of the best we had in Italy. Rooms were a bit dated, but clean and spacious. Free wi-fi, use of bikes and a location within walking distance of the train station were other pluses. Overall - we loved our time in Ferrara and wished we had just a bit more time to explore the town. Plenty of shops to explore and it seemed to be a bit off the beaten path of usual tourist stops.

nice little hotel with excellent breakfast! perfect location for a shorttrip to Ferrara

8.8

Highly recommended. Location was excellent. In a piazza in the historical centre. Parking at a very reasonable cost was close by and it was possible to bring the car into the restricted area to unload luggage. The breakfast buffet was beautifully set out with lots of variety. Room was of average size and well appointed. The staff were helpful and friendly.

8.6

Almost perfect - great location in front of the castle, wonderful city of Ferrara all around, room & bathroom spacious with caring details very charming - and a special breakfast - caviar included! The only red flag: noisy housemaids(8:37 am is pretty early to start cleaning)- hope this was an exception...

8.7

excellent breakfast, a very good location I really enjoyed this staying

9.9

This is a great hotel in a fabulous location. The staff were extremely helpful and very attentive to our needs. Ferrara should be on every visitors Italian itinerary.

9.7

Stayed here one night with family passing through to Venice. Excellent and friendly staff, spacious and very modern rooms with plenty of amenities. Excellent breakfast comparable to any luxury hotel. They even had scrambled eggs made of real egg (not the instant powder stuff offered elsewhere). Very good value for money. Will stay here again if passing through, and will surely add a night or two. Only drawback is limited parkingspace, but designated areas in nearby streets is offered.

9.6

Excellent position, excellent staff, excellent breakfast, excellent services, amazing price. The room was not so wide, but there is everything you may need.

9.2

breakfast outstanding location excellent

6.1

First time in Ferrara for a business trip. Perfect location, and nice people at the desk. Room is very spacious, but not so nice & clean for a 4stars hotel

9.8

Definitely deserves the 4 star rating and at a reasonable price. Close to the center of city sights.

9.6

beautiful hotel and setting with a friendly helpful staff. One of our rooms was overlooking the bakery however and the noise (with windows open) was disturbing. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic with a grest range of foods. Our hotel deal was half of the listed price in the hotel which added to the appeal!

9.7

The most awesome breakfast buffet I have yet to see!!

9.4

A very good hotel with excellent staff. Superb choice at breakfast - the best we had in Italy. Good central position on the square facing the castle. A word of warning - occasional concerts take place in the square during the summer.

9.5

The staff at Annunziata was remarkably friendly, beginning and ending with Massimiliano. He was undoudtly one of the nicest and most courteous front desk managers that I have ever met. The breakfast meal was incredible - a true banquent. Their spread puts to shame all others that I have ever had in Italy. I can not wait to get back to Ferrara and stay again at the Hotel Annunziata!

9.3

Delicious and fully satisfying breakfast! Great that you can't hire bicycles for free from the hotel!

9.9

The Annuziata is the type of hotel that I hope to find when I travel. It offers personal service, an excellent location, friendly and helpful staff, and all of the amenities that make for a comfortable stay. The hotel's location puts it within a three minute walk of Ferrara's major attractions, and a two minute walk to the bus stop for travel to/from the train and bus station. The area might be more crowded and noisy in the middle of summer, but that wasn't at all an issue in mid-November.

9.8

We loved this hotel. The location is incredible. You are just across the square from the castle in the center of the town -- at night it is right outside your window all lit up. The hotel was extremely well run and the staff was very pleasant, welcoming and helpful. You will never find a better hotel breakfast than you will get at this hotel (with the price of the room.) It was bountiful and the quality of everything on it was superior. The only thing 'bad' we can say about the hotel is that the bathroom we had was rather cramped and the rug needed to be changed in the room. Otherwise it is very clean and well maintained. My husband and I would recommend it highly.

8.7

1)The room I´ve been p/ two days, has the floor irregular under the carpet- some rolls; We have to be very careful in order not to fall down 2) I had to ash for towels, shampoo, etc -: the room made had forgot It was the first time and I enjoy teh days I stay in Ferrara Thanks , particulary, ANA

9.8

I travelled in a party of 5 persons and we all were very pleased with the hotel. It is well positioned. Being without an attached garage or parking space, the hotel offered valet parking (which we used) or provided tickets for public parking. Nice lounge areas. Excellent breakfast with both hot and cold items available. We would be pleased to use the hotel again and would recommend it to others.

9.6

I went to see a concert and the stage was literaly infront of the hotel entrance! could not have been more handy! I even had backstage access!! The hotel is right in a beautiful square in the centre of Ferarra. Room was very big and hotel welcoming was extremely positive (little touches like putting a "good night" note and a book next to my bed before bed time were very appreciated). Breakfast was really good as well, lots of choices even for strict vegetarians/vegans.

8.7

Ottima posizione centrale, ottima accoglienza del personale, camere un po' piccole e piuttosto modeste per un 4 stelle. Colazione ottima.

8.8

Location fascinosa. Equipe efficiente e simpatica. Camere non entusiasmanti.

8.2

My experience at Hotel Annunziata was very good mainly regarding to courtesy of the employees

7.7

Modern hotel in old building on square facing castle. Very comfortable with great breakfast. Central to all parts of the city & with free bicycles to explore the sights. Stayed 2 nights and really enjoyed the town.

9.9

I will definitely return to this hotel!

9.9

The fabulous location was matched by the friendly welcome and the competence of the staff. A very enjoyable stay.

9.8

The two gentleman that worked at reception during our stay spoke very good english and were extremely helpful. The one who looks like Mr. Bean was especially friendly. The breakfast was magnificant! Makes it worth the price. Had a good variety at the buffet and food quality was good. Fruits,meats,cheese,pastries,eggs,bacon,juices,cappuchino,cereal,yogurt. Something for everybody. Hotel is in excellent location. The best part of the city. Located in a beautiful piazza with the Castle Etense right out the front door-big moat and all.

The staff were just the most helpful! The breakfast was the best that we have experience in our three weeks in Italy. Congratulations to an incredible staff at this hotel. They are courteous....always willing to help and answer questions. We loved FERRARA and this hotel! Thanks, Larry Hays, Santa Fe, New Mexico

7.1

the room wasn't prepared for 2 persons but just one and it was near the lift so the quietness wasn't the max. The personal was helpful.

10

Reception staff very helpful. Hotel location is central and offers very good value for money.

The Annunziata made our visit to Ferrara! The staff was very welcoming and made us feel secure and at home in Italy. The suite we stayed in was beautiful and very comfortable. We will definitely return.

8.4

Tutto bene!

8.9

The hotel was very well located, and it was easy to walk around. My wife and I were VERY happy that they allowed us to check out bikes so that we could bike around the city. We had SO much fun! I would highly recommend this hotel. We did, of course, stay in the suite.

9.0

Annunziata is a lovely hotel in a supreme location. It has welcoming and helpful staff, tastefully decorated rooms and little touches such as a book for every visitor and Internet access in the lobby. The breakfast was outstanding - so much on offer that one couldn't possibly taste everything! Would definitely return on a later visit and recommend this hotel highly. Nice views from the room we stayed in, too.

8.0

Ottimo Hotel centralissimo con camere ampie e pulite ed una colazione veramente straordinaria.

8.8

Very nice view on the castle. perfect location to walk around

8.7

It is a lovely little hotel with character. The staff are very friendly. Its location is perfect and the room overlooking the square which we had was beautiful. The hotel does not serve dinner but the breakfast, included in the price, was wonderful. I would certainly recommend the Annunziata and hope to return.

9.5

This is one of the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in. The room was not huge, but perfectly large enough, with a good size bathroom. The room was filled with free goodies and gifts - book, pen, chocolate &c. I am used to single rooms being generally inferior and at the back, but this room was excellent. When I pulled back the curtains and opened the shutters I was stunned by the magnificent view of the Este Palace. It was superb. Also, the next morning, the breakfast buffet was easily the best I have ever encountered in Italy. It was a huge spread of the highest quality and it was difficult not to be greedy! I have no doubt at all that I shall use this hotel again when next I visit Ferrara.

9.0

The Albergo Annunziata is a charming intimate hotel situated right near the Castello. The room was very quiet, though a bit on the small side. The breakfast buffet is sumptous and a real treat. It was our second stay at this hotel and we plan on staying there again.

8.4

Good position in the historical center of the city.

8.3

Only some of the rooms have a nice view (and not "all the rooms" as written). Ours was quite different from the pictures. But the hotel's environment is great and welcome, service and breakfast were perfect.

6.6

stanze piccole il resto va bene - le foto delle suite non sono la realtà delle stanze ordinarie

7.9

Nice hotel, good location. Too few channels working on TV.There is an 'evening service/cleaning' in thr rooms, but I didn't have on the second stay, in another room

8.7

Very convenient hotel in the center of town, within walking/bicycling of all attractions. Staff very efficient...and helpful. Most speak English. Excellent breafast; meats, cheeses, eggs, rolls, fruit, yogurt, juices, etc. We enjoyed our stay and have already made reservations to return for a longer period.

9.9

It is a hotel, I would like to retourn sometimes. Also the parking is no problem with the ticket provided by the hotel.

8.2

Excellent welcome and service. The personnel is always willing to help and provide information. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The location is perfect to visit the city Excellent breakfast with a lot of choice. I really enjoyed the library with its books on Ferrara. It should be a perfect hotel either for leisure or business.

9.9

It may help to know that bicycles are provided for guest at the hotel, since Ferrara is a bike town. Really a nice stay.

8.1

Due to a concert that took place we had to leave the hotel a day earlier than as it was booked. The hotelcrew had no problems with that.Although it was a perfect stay just in the middle of towm.

7.9

Colazione a buffet eccellente per quantità, qualità e presentazione. Lo stile degli interni, moderno e ricercato, stona un po' con la posizione di fronte al Castello Estense, ma la nostra camera affacciava sul retro! Da non perdere una passeggiata in città con le biclette a disposizione dei clienti (gratis)

7.8

There is a bakery next door so be careful not to leave the windows open otherwise you risk being woken up at 3am - although the smell is great!! Parking is a real hassle.

9.9

The Albergo Annunziata is a charming hotel with a very personal touch. It is located very centrally right near the famous Castello of Ferrara and in the vicinity of other landmark buildings as well. The employees were at all times very frienly and helpful and offered an extremely good service. Especially good is the very opulent breakfast buffet. The Quality Price ratio is very good. I can only recommend this hotel warmly.

8.6

Location is unparrelled. The hotel has free bikes which are a must in Ferrara, and free internet which other hotels didn't have. Take a bike around the city walls and through the streets and feel like a local. Staff are very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast offered a great selection. If you are planning to stay during the buskers festival you have to weigh up sacrificing the magnificent view out to the Estense Castle with the quiet of a non-square facing room. We accepted the noise and loved the room.

9.7

Outstanding hotel with very helpful staff. Would have preferred suite to have sitting area (couch) rather than table and chairs but otherwise a great experience.

9.1

I am very content with my stay at the Hotel Annunziata. For my next visit to Ferrara I will certainly consider to stay there again.

5.8

We think that our room was too small and not very welcoming. we thought that it was differente.

The Annunziata has a wonderful location overlooking the Castello.Our room was large and very comfortable.The staff were charming and the unobtrusive service was excellent.One of the best hotel we've ever stayed in and we would recommend it without reservation.
