I just returned from Parma and was a bit apprehensive about this hotel - booked for me by my business contact - after having looked at the previous reports. I did not see any drapes hanging outside and found the place from the outside and the inside not at all scary ....!!! The hotel is indeed very central, it is... more

We really enjoyed our quick stay in Parma and this hotel was a nice hub for us. The service was decent and breakfast was fairly good. This isn't Rome or Venice so we knew not to expect the same level of quality but overall it was an enjoyable stay. The rooms seemed a little dark and could use more lighting... more

Our party of 3 adults stayed at the Maria Luigia Hotel (2 rooms) in Parma 3 nights. We scheduled this stop to tour the area's production facilities for cheese, wine, ham and balsamic vinegar but quickly discovered that tourism is not promoted in this whole area. If you have a car (we traveled by train throughout Italy) apparently you can... more

The appearance from the outside is a little scary with all those drapes but once we got inside we found a neat little bar area. The rooms were small, well decorated, clean, nice remodeled bath, quiet, good breakfast, friendly staff and a good location. more

looked & sounded great on website- forget it! we moved rooms following our complaint re light fitting hanging off the wall ,exposing live wires next to a pillow! + grim, dark room, a window onto concrete wall ! but all ok compared to the worst breakfast ever! we'd paid for'american breakfast' when booking (£86 a night) but told by manager... more

Very comfortable, quiet surroundings, with much attention to pleasant service : bed linen and towels changed daily, all-you-can-eat top-quality breakfast. Certainly warrants its 4-star status. Ideally placed for the railway station and central attractions. We look forward to returning later in the year! more

There isn’t a great choice of four star hotels in Parma, so if you haven’t your car with you and you want to stay downtown this hotel is more or less the only choice. Although the hotel brochure shows luxurious rooms and hall, reality is quite different. The whole hotel needs a deep restoration. The entrance hall is good, but... more

We were pleasantly surprised--outside the hotel looks "fair", inside the welcome was nice, the rooms excellent--especially nice, large, well appointed bathrooms, the breakfast fine, and the location was just a 5 minute walk to the center of Parma. more

This hotel is a nice find; within walking distance of both the train station and historical center. Rooms were quiet, breakfast was a nice buffet. The Restaurant Maxim's was very nice and the food very well prepared. I got a deal saver for 88 euro per night on their website. I would recommend this hotel to fellow travelers. Clientele included... more
