Nel 2025, non mi aspettavo certo di trovare una sistemazione con un letto in quelle condizioni, pieno di affossamenti e scomodo al punto da rovinare il soggiorno. Sinceramente, è inaccettabile offrire un simile livello di qualità ai propri ospiti. Peccato, perché sarebbe bastato poco per rendere l’esperienza migliore. "

Top Ferrara Hotel Reviews

Savhotel Fiera Bologna

10/10 Excellent

"The key thing to know about the hotel is that it is outside the old city. The old city is the beautiful part of town, with ancient buildings, few cars, etc. The hotel is in a more modern area. It felt safe, but with much less foot traffic than the old city. If you have a car, the hotel location is great, but I don't know about parking inside town. I also found it hard to find a cab back one night, and Ubers back were 30 to 40 euros for a while, but then went down to 27 or so. On a nice day, the 30 minute walk from the hotel to the center of the old city is fine. But I would not want to have to take that walk in winter or hot summer days. On the plus side, the hotel is by two big grocery stores (Eurospar and Aldi). But its refrigerator is very small, and there is no microwave. The big sushi restaurant nearby is excellent; the tiny Chinese take-out one is terrible. Nello's, in the Old City, was fantastic. The hotel breakfast is delicious."

Hotel Touring

8/10 Good
