My One Hotel Villa Ducale - Parma

3-star hotel and not 4. in bagnio lacked towels and other

The service is very impersonal; there are too many guests and the staff does not have conditions to give personal attention to each guests. Internet services were not available for most of our stay. Breakfast was good but the replenishement of items was very slow. Guests were "fighting" to get some Parma procciuto (of all things...). Summarizing: the premises are very good; the service, not so good.

At the beginning we only reserved for one night, and then we decided to stay one more night in the same hotel.

Nice Business-hotel close to the motorway. Good value, ok for 1-2 nights. Hard to find, as road is divided by a big road. Would be helpful to provide GPS-data in hotel-description. Have been searching for 20 minutes... Breakfast Ok, but typical italian with some nice trys to be continental. But thats allover Italy still the same: they think everyone in the world loves suger-sunken croissants and hard-shell-bread.(Inside its soft, but You ruin Your teeth trying to eat it ;-))

The hotel address was correct but it was difficult to find because a lack of street names and numbers. It would be useful to give the GPS coordinates on the hotel website.

Excellent restaurant, very competent staff.

Good Hotel for business trips. The value on the quietness of room is affected by the noise made by the air conditioner.

Very nice hotel albeit a bit tough to find at first. Centro accessible by bus #15 but be careful as there are two #15 routes - look for the one that says Moleletolo on the front. Restaurant was just OK, not what one might expect for being in Parma. Breakfast was fine. Pretty much a hotel used by business types.

very good restaurant, fitness room worst then the one I have at home

A wonderful hotel for a very moderate price. To be recommended to all business travelers!

The directions to get to the hotel assume you are coming from the highway..... We did not.... and had much difficulty finding it.... Even after many phone calls to the desk....... We were going in circles for almost an hour.......... Please provide directions other than from the highway.... for your future guests......... Food.... we wanted something light for dinner... and were told that we could not go to the restaurant.... that the bar had light food......... it was not satisfactory, we went out to eat........... Breakfast was very good though............

staff was very kind and breakfast was very poor

We stayed here for one night. Right off the freeway, so we had to take our car into Parma, but you can park very well just outside the historic centre. Our room was spacious, clean, good bathroom.

Room extremely small. Restaurant closes early, no room service available. Staff somewhat curt except for pleasant receptionist. Fittings in bathroom old, rusty, needs renovation.

This was the last hotel I stayed in on a two week trip to Italy. I stayed in 10 hotels all over the country and this hotel was by far, by far, by far the best one. Hotel sits right next to where the Parma Panthers play, an Italian team playing American football, the subject of John Grisham's book, "Playing for Pizza".

If you are travelling by car, this is just perfect. near the highway, great standards, beautyful building, near nice restaurants, perfect breakfast buffet, internet access, parking for free in the courtyard of the hotel, nice bath products: could you ask more? if you are travelling by train, you might find hotel surroundings not nice, since it is not in town. I would definitely recommend it, great value for price.

The bathroom was out of order

I spend only one night in the Hotel, but I will certainly choose it again when travelling to Parma.

Es un muy buen hotel, a solo 5 minutos del centro historico en taxi. Buen restaurante y muy limpio

Zu teuer für diese Qualität! Gutes Frühstück.

This hotel is fine; but it is a full 2 km from the center of town--fine if you have a car, but very inconvenient if you have to use a cab 2-4 times a day.

Completely new extension built to the original building. Park is gone! For this rate we only got the old, lightely renovated floor of the hotel. Breakfast was o.k. Typical italian standard. Nice and clean for an overnight, but not much more.

Definitively just a business hotel. The price is a bit to high for what you get. Altough internet was available free of charge (I would call that a standard for a **** hotel) it was almost impossible to use it since it was so unbelievably slow. I will not stay there again.

En transit pour une nuit, nous avons appécié la faclité se trouver l'hotel depuis l'autoroute. L'accueil est efficace et la chambre conforme à un hotel de cette catégorie. Les environs de l'hotel sont en travaux : peut_être bruyant en semaine. le centre de Parme est à environ 3-4 kms, là aussi très facile d'accès : prendre un parking recommandé par la réception. Petit déjeuner complet.

Hotel is a building additional wing, lots of noise from 7:30am, also works inside the hotel, location is already not ideal, close to motorway interchange... Be carreful when booking this hotel and make sure they finish the new wing ! good buffet restaurant.

Villa Ducale is 3 km from the city center. Parma center is forbidden to the cars, a taxi from the hotel cost 6 Euros, bicycles are rented in many place and it is great to visit Parma this way.

Stayed 1 night, felt the male clerk who checked us in,was not as friendly as he could have been. The lady who checked us out was much better

Nice structure, and also a good restaurant

My room was on the first floor. There were two windows - one was 1 m. away and looking into a small office of construction workers; the other opened onto another room - a storage facility. I couldn't open the window really and the room smelled of mildew and staleness.

Ristrutturazione in corso, le camere assegnate non corrispondono affatto a quelle presentate in fotografia, evidentemente di costruzione ed arredamento più recenti. Andrebbero eventualmente pubblicate tutte le soluzioni e non solo le migliori. Venti minuti la mattina per ricevere un cappuccino al tavolo... Ottimo prezzo ma per un hotel che si fregia di 4 stelle mi attendo tutt'altra struttura/servizio.

Good-Points: Friendly & welcoming staff. Great breakfast included in price. Large car-park and good bar facilities. Good price for hotel stay. Not-so-good-Points: Sunday night had a band in the lounge so very noisy until 2am. Only one baby crib, so book it. Long way to walk into town (+45mins) if no car. More for the corporate traveller. Suggests it is in a park-like setting, but it is only next to some soccer fields. Dinner meal was very average but pricey.

ottimo hotel per quiete e posizione

The room is very clean. The only thing that should be better is the breakfast once there's not many options of eating.

si vous vous attendez à loger dans une chambre décrite par le site vous serez deçus, à moins d'y mettre le prix fort, c'est un hotel de tres bonne qualité mais il ne faut pas chercher le charme de la chambre qui est en photo!Le personnel parle un français impeccable et est tres disponible.centre ville proche en voiture,des parkings aux abords du centre ville facilitent la vie!

The breakfast was a bit 'simple' but the quality was okay. The knowledge of English was not always sufficient. The service and kindness of the personell was very good. The Parmazan cheese and ham was delicious.

The hotel is located close to highway and city. We would suggest to put the price list of the frigo bar in each room as well as the menu and prices of the restaurant

Nice hotel and good breakfast. Bathrooms were a bit shabby for a hotel of this standard but on the whole not bad for the price. However it should be noted that the hotel is called MY HOTELS with Villa Ducale in very small writing. Otherwise none of the locals can direct you to the hotel.

Hotel was Clean and the Breakfast provided was good. Staff were less helpful than other places visited but were friendly. Again the Room allocated was on the small side and the Window was bricked up - not good Fire Safety. It was handy to be able to Park the Car in the Private Car Park for free. The Hotel was in a good position for visiting the Town Centre and the route was straight forward although a little further than expected. Be prepared to walk a lot at this Town!!

It's a nice hotel and the service at the reception was good, for the breakfast it was a bit poorer as the breakfast itself. Unfortunately they put us in a room where 1 window was opposite a wall and the other one opposite a storage room for chairs, so a mucht to dark room for my taste, luckily only for 1 night.

Prestations d'un 3/4 étoiles, au prix d'un petit 2 étoiles, merci Venere !

Good modern facility close to the highway and the city center. Good value for price.

We were given a smoking room in the first instance which was pretty stinky. We asked for a non-smoking room and were moved immediately. Of course if the hotel had been full we'd have been stuck. So specify non-smoking at time of booking if you want non-smoking. Restaurant is ok in quality and price. Its not walking distance to Parma city centre. Drive 5 minutes straight in towards the centre and there are clear signs to an underground parking lot, which is within walking of centre.

It's a typical business hotel, so it is a bit formal. We went there during a holiday on the way north, for one night. I wouldn't want to stay there for longer because it's a business hotel, but it is very good.

L'accoglienza è stata molto buona, con l'happy hours molto assortito e offerto dalla direzione, dopo aver avuto un lungo viaggio. Le camere sono molto carine e di grossa ampiezza. Pulite. Il ristorante offre un'ottima cucina tipica locale.

The road and entrance to the hotel is being worked on - it made it a bit difficult to enter on the busy highway. I would have like to seen an additional road sign along the way to help with directions. Our stay was fantastic - the facilities and extra services included were a nice surprize. I would suggest that you let foreign travelers know that some services throughout Europe are not available after August 1st.

the restaurant could be better

The location was missrepresented as being "steps from center" (actually was 2 1/2 kilometers. Desk person very uninformed and had a "could care less" attitude---she never volunteered the info that breakfast was included with the room.

Their restaurant was exceptional, with Parma ham and parmisian cheese both for dinner and breakfast, I could have stayed longer for the food.

Hotel was very pleasant and quiet but a little further from the main centre than we had expected.
