Sofitel Parma Grand Hotel Ville: grand hotel de la ville
Satisfaction:
By Amsterdamnice on May 28, 2006
First of all it was quite difficult to find the place. Then, they were still building part of it, I gather they had just opened. Also it was empty. I didn't see any other guests. We stayed one night. At some point we were really hungry but it still was early, around 18h30. The restaurant was opening at 19h00. So we sat at the bar and at some point the bartender put a tray of small sandwiches right in front of us. So I asked if we could serve ourselves and he went: " You only take one, leave the others for the other guests". I found it funny actually, there were no other guests and he was so severe. We finally went out for dinner. The room was ok, very neutral, average size, average everything actually, nothing special but very confortable and clean (and new!!!). They have a private car parc. The staff was cold but polite. It was about a 15 minute walk from the historical center. The hotel is good for business travellers I gather.
