Convenient city Location. Quiet hotel.

"It was my second time staying at this hotel. I returned this year because I enjoyed my stay before. Bicycles are available. Safe and secure location. I believe the rooms were once apartments that were converted into hotel rooms, so they are spacious, they have a kitchenette and a very sturdy door. ..."

"The hotel is not far from the train station and very close to the castle and center of the town. Lobby and bar area were nicely decorated. We were surprised of the size of the room and bathroom. Everything was pleasant and clean. We stayed just one night but will be definitely coming again in Ferrara and will choose Hotel Astra for sure."

Best Western Palace Inn Hotel
2/5 Poor
Mediocre all-round
"This hotel offered a lot of things online that were not available due to COVID (food services). The listing should absolutely be updated. The reception closes from 11pm-7am, so good luck getting breakfast if you have to leave early. The beds were rock-hard, and there were no prices available for the items in the fridge (3Euro for a small bag of crisps). The amenities provided were squeeze bottles of soap in the shower and by the sink, towels and toilet paper. There was a water heater machine that I could not figure out how to add water to, so no self-made coffee, and a mini fridge. The internet was OK for completing my work, making phone calls, and streaming videos but I had to adjust to a lower quality. The gym was decent, but the treadmill did not work. When I checked-in, I told the receptionist that I would be leaving a day earlier than my previously booked (but not paid) reservation. When I checked-out, they had already charged me for the full reservation. They were "kind" enough not to charge me the tax. The hotel is close to an Aldi, a Lidl and a Steakhouse, which was the ONLY good thing about the location. The prices for laundry were ridiculous (one shirt cost 6 Euros) Don't stay here for more than one night."
