Hotel Estense

Poor
Traveller Type: group
  : Price was low.
  : Advised front desk toilet seat was broken. Ring would separate and pinch when sat on. Staff wrote it down and said OK. I was never addressed or mentioned. This is not acceptable by any standard.

  : It’s very close to the city center, the breakfast is very good, rooms are big and clean.
  : No bathtub, old bathrooms, clean but old. And it’s pricey, I had the opportunity to book a 4 star hotel for exactly the same price. So I would have preferred to pay less

  : Location is on very edge of old town .... and allows an easy 10-15 minute walk into centre of town. Breakfast was a real treat (freshly squeezed juice, freshly cut fruits, great cakes) with friendly and helpful staff just made for a good start to the day. Not a 'busy' hotel so was really quiet within the building. Reception was friendly and helpful on each interaction. lots of light and fresh air into the room was always welcomed. Bathroom was adequate but suffered from the typical European style of cramming lots into a small space .... have had much worse elsewhere. A dinner at the onsite 'Persion' restaurant was unexpected and really enjoyable..... maybe a little over priced.
  : The standout issue during our stay was the external noise..... from the adjacent (25 metres away) park/market space. First night was loud singing and music until early hours, second day early morning was market being 'set up' in early morning hours. Next day a repeat of market day .... apparently we just happened to be there when this two day in a row market happens. The hotel is getting on in age and becoming a little worn.

  : The staff were very friendly and helpful. We could park the car in their backyard free of charge, even before we checked in. We had a few final things to do before checking out, and were offered a late checkout at 12 o'clock - which we didn't need, but awesome service anyway! The beds were nice and firm. The breakfast was varied - freshly pressed orange juice is a winner! If only they had oatmeal, but this goes for all Italian hotels... Excellent location right outside the historic centre and the low emission zone.
  : Only two things, really... The shower was very small. Hard to clean yourself properly in a 70x70 cm triangle, and the bathroom could have fitted a normal sized shower with a bit of thinking. Plus the shower head REALLY needed descaling! Also the water smelled bad, like eggs/sulphur. The smell diminished after a while but didn't completely disappear. Not sure what's up with that, but I obviously used bottled water to brush my teeth!

  : Clean room, fair price
  : Parking was free but no guarantee there would be a spot available on the street. Front desk guy could have been a tiny less gruff
