Location and getting around
The address is Via Mascheraio 39. Guests rate the location 9.2 out of 10 and describe it as central and quiet, a short walk from the historic old town.
Our straight-line estimates put Castello Estense at 0.5 km, about 6 minutes on foot. Ferrara Cathedral is 0.6 km, about 8 minutes, and Palazzo Schifanoia is 1 km, about 13 minutes. You can see the main sights without any transport.
Free parking is listed, yet guests say public street spaces nearby are often scarce. Ask the hotel how its parking works and whether a space can be reserved.
What guests say
Location tops the praise. Reviewers like being central while still sleeping somewhere quiet.
Breakfast is the other favourite. It is a varied buffet with sweet and savoury options, served in a garden courtyard. Continental, Italian and gluten-free choices are listed.
Parking is the main gripe. Street spots exist nearby, but guests say they are often hard to find.

Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, whether breakfast is included and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Check them in your chosen rate.
Confirm how parking works if you drive, and the pet policy if you bring an animal. Garden courtyard breakfast may depend on the weather in November, so do not count on eating outside.
