This hotel seems to be the only one in the Parma area claiming 5 stars. But frankly, it doesn't deserve them. At the most 4 stars! The restaurant (where we were the only ones dining on a warm Friday evening in July!) serves a horrible quality food. You're much better of in one of the many restaurants in the centre... more

My 4 nights stay at Grand Hotel de La Ville were so wonderful. Hotel staff were so friendly and hotel room was very clean and spacious and also very highly maintained which I liked very much. In front of the hotel there was the Christmas market which was very interesting. Shopping plaza and city centre is within walking distance from... more

We spent two nights here in October 2006, having reserved a room with a king size bed on the Internet before our arrival. The room wasn’t as big as our room in Bologna, but it was fairly spacious, had a comfortable bed, and a large bathroom. The décor of the room and hotel is somewhat corporate, i.e., functional and stylish... more

We stayed at this hotel for two nights, with my husband and kids, on our way back from a ski trip. I contacted the hotel directly and we got a great price for two interconnecting rooms. The hotel is brand new and the decoration is very minimal, modern, light colours, etc. There is no particularly nice view from the room... more

This is a stylish modern hotel with friendly staff. We could have stayed longer! The room had everything we needed and more. The hotel was very well located to see the sights of Parma (great city with very friendly people). Breakfast was delicious (Parma ham and melon for brekkie!) We are definitely coming back to Parma and will definitely stay... more

My husband and I spent 1 night at the Sofitel in July during the heat wave of 2006. The hotel was almost entirely empty as it was a Sunday, however this fact did not encourage the staff to give any extra attention to the guests they did have. The outside temperature hovered around 100f / 40c and our extremely SMALL... more

We stayed at the Sofitel Grand hotel for 3 nights in early August. The hotel was lovely - very clean with spacious rooms. The front desk staff, particularly Barbara, were extremely helpful. This is a very modern hotel but still very "Italian". The location was great for walking into the center of town. One minor drawback was the deep bathtub... more

Lovely hotel in a nice area. The hotel is very modern, western style. If you are looking for old world charm this isn't for you but if that doesn't matter stay at the Hotel de Ville. Large rooms, hardwood floors, modern amenities. It is just a short walk to the center of the action. The breakfast was excellent as was... more
