Radisson Hotel Ferrara

The disappointment started upon arrival. This hotel is across the street from the train station and the crowd in front of and around the hotel is scary. The hotel is on the street. We drove to the hotel and when we arrived, there were no signs or obvious parking spots. There was ONE large yellow marked area, which I guess could be for parking but a bus was taking over that spot. So we parked illegally and rushed in. For overnight parking you can leave the car on the street, if you find a spot, or pay to park across the street and quite a walk away. The rooms are tiny. We had one large bag that would only fit on the floor outside the bathroom. That kept us from being able to close the bathroom door. Talking about the bathroom, the shower does not have a door. That is kind of typical in Italy, but in this case, the shower head is pointing towards the toilet bowl and toilet paper holder. Although I was super careful, we made a mess in the bathroom and had to use all towels to wipe the floors. The room thermostat did not work and we could not get the room cool so yes, horrible to sleep in that heat. Finally, the breakfast. The buffet is sub-standard when compared to other Radisson hotels. The coffee machine is a joke. On the other hand, the staff is pleasant and well-trained. The lady at the reception was pleasant and accommodating. The breakfast staff noticed our disappointment with the coffee machin and made us cappuccinos.

Great base for vist Florence and Bologna and Vience good price right next train station get any where fast not lot do Ferrara just ideal best staff look after well 1 staff bit grump she on bar at night. Lady does breakfast always put smile face need pay rise credit to that hotel
