The best available hotels & places to stay near Parma

August 7, 2022 Tonie Szymanski

Best known for its incredibly edible contributions to world gastronomy (especially parmigiano cheese and Parma ham), Parma has also been revered by opera lovers (who flock to its Teatro Regio) since the days of Verdi, who was born in nearby Roncole. Parma’s many historic sights include the 11th-century cathedral and its baptistry. Begun in the 12th century, it's considered one of medieval Europe’s most important buildings for its straddling of the Romanesque and Gothic architecture periods.

they have only one iron in the hotel and it broke down

Reviewed By Jorgecruzoaxaca

very bad experience waiting almost 30 min to be able to iron… only one iron in the whole hotel…. having to go down to a room where you have to queue is the worst thing about the service... I asked at reception if it was the only iron in the entire hotel and they told me yes... the worst thing is that with so much use it broke down

Good choice in Parma

Reviewed By johannam330

Typical Novotel in Parma. Easy to walk to Parma. We had 2 connected rooms which were great. Beds were quite good and what was excellent was that there is no noise from outside or inside. Windows were soundproofed and I didn’t hear anything from the hallway. Breakfast was ok, nothing special.

Functional and unfriendly bed factory

Reviewed By ChristineKey

Arriving after a long journey. Reception was cold and unfriendly, functional at best. Only at this point having paid 180e we’re we told that the spa is closed. Website boasts its services !!! That’s why we booked. Gym has good equipment but way too warm in the room, no air conditioning! No sanitizer or water in the gym! Bath water tepid! Then when we asked for some ice to take to the room they said they had none! A bar with no ice? Seriously?!!! The staff are cold, the hotel is soulless! Needless to say we will never return!

Does the air conditioning work?

Reviewed By gocatgo1964

No air conditioning! Incredible that during a peak period that the air conditioning system wasn’t yet connected? Nights were quite warm. Rooms were ok but nothing like the photos. Breakfast was excellent though. Good selection available until 10.30 on most days.

ibis Styles Parma Toscanini

A great stay in Parma

Reviewed By kristofszilagyi

I was allocated in a room in a separate building about 500m from the hotel building. This gives you some sort of feeling of independency and either the hotel or this additional site is close to town centre, everything is easily approachable by foot. The room was clean and spacious with its own balcony. The only thing I'd dispute is that although the place seemed fairly quiet I got a room with disabled bathroom, hard to understand why. The size of the TV is about the size of my tablet.

A Different Experience But Still Ok

Reviewed By PasssionateTraveler

I hesitate to give 4 stars but overall this stay was a good experience. It’s located outside the city of Parma near the airport (very quiet though). Some might have a difficult time finding but trust your GPS. We stayed here this time because of a previous difficult experience staying in town. It’s very modern, and the lounge is located in the center of the hotel where you have to be quiet or disturb other guests. You have to order your alcohol from the front desk. Just weird. Strange multicolored soccer balls in front with numerous rabbits all over the place (Outside). The food in the restaurant for dinner was excellent (be sure to reserve a table, as seating is limited if a bus has brought a tour group in) and the breakfast was fine. My rating would have been higher if the staff was more welcoming and friendly. Sorry. Not all, but several could improve their interpersonal skills. Still overall a good experience and I will give them a second chance in the future.

Pleasant receptionists, clean room but abysmal breakfast! Location was ideal for us as we wanted something outside of Parma and with easy access to the Auto Strada. Plus point is plenty of available parking.

Hotel Torino

Very disappointing experience!

Reviewed By gartenkralle

Our advice: do not stay at Hotel Torino in Parma! Sadly one of the worst experiences of a hotel in Italy ever. The three stars are not justified. We tried to settle the situation with the receptionist and the management right at the start of our stay to give them a chance for improvement but no one cared. We were hugely disappointed by the room (where is the extra "comfort" we paid for? The room was not cosy at all, in a badly worn condition (loose wallpaper, bad and moudly plastic shower...), really bad value for money, no style whatsoever, crappy items, poor wifi, noisy [other rooms, bad window], bad view...) and a change of room was either impossible or would have cost a lot of euros extra for no big improvement at all. The staff was rude and does not care a bit. Our advice to fellow travelers: do not come here! Stay somewhere else. Parma deserves more than this!
