Really good Restaurant Experience

“I had a wonderful dining experience at the hotel's restaurant. The food was of very high standard. I particularly enjoyed a delicious starter of raw minced fassone beef with caper ice cream, which was inventive and flavorful. The vitello tonnato was one of the best I've ever had. I would certainly recommend dining in!” view full review

My stay at the Grand Hotel De La Ville in Parma was a mixed bag. While the location was decent and allowed for easy access to the city center, my overall experience disappointed me due to the lack of attentive service and the outdated amenities. The room was clean but cramped, and my requests for basic items were met with indifference rather than hospitality.

I had an enjoyable stay at Grand Hotel De La Ville, with some aspects standing out while others fell short. The cleanliness and space of my room were commendable, but I found the amenities and facilities didn't quite match a five-star expectation. Its location was great for exploring the city, though it felt just a tad distant for those aiming to immerse themselves in the heart of Parma. Overall, it was a convenient option but might lean more towards a 4-star rating in my opinion. 🌟
