Hotel Century

Great boutique hotel right next to the train station. Even though it's next to the train station, this area is very quiet at night. My room was a decent size and very clean.  Bed was very comfy. They provided bathroom toiletries and 2 bottles of water which was nice. The front desk receptionist was super helpful. Walking to the historical part of Parma was less than 5 minute walk. The breakfast was included and they do have a lot of choices. I was able to get my protein in with lots of eggs. They have toast, yogurt, cereal, pastries, make your own eggs station, etc. and they make fresh espresso drinks for you on the spot. It was great for a one night stay in Parma.

Right in front of the Parma station. Clean, well-organized, and great services. The breakfast was excellent. It's a bit of walking to the piazza, but not too far, 15 min or so? The staff made our experience so positive. Very welcoming and attentive.

Great location and good value, unfortunately there is poor insulation and you can hear everything that moves

This is a delightful boutique hotel adjacent to the Parma train station. It’s an easy walk to just about everything. The staff was welcoming and helpful. Loved the breakfast! The room was very comfortable with an oversized king bed. Garage parking was secure and convenient. Would definitely recommend this place.

I hate getting to communicate with the Italian receptionist who is always on phone and you need to wait a couple of minutes. Also the rooms are marked horribly so you can easily get lost and pick the wrong lift/elevator. Also i recommend you not to wait with full bladder

Good transit hotel next to the train station. Room we got looked remodeled with a huge bathroom including a tub. Shower stall has no door and water splashed everywhere though. Breakfast was simple but sufficient. The reception locks the front entrance at night for added security which is a good thing. Very quiet room. Friendly staff too. Good place to stay if travel by train.

The location couldn’t be better - literally at the train station, easy walk into the old town. Our room was clean and a decent size, with two twin beds, desk, and closet. The bathroom looked to be recently renovated and was a good size with a shower and separate tub. Unfortunately, metal shutters were locked down over the windows, so no view or fresh air. Getting to the room (on the 2nd floor) required two different elevators. During our stay, there was no wifi available and our safe didn’t work. No English channels on the TV. Breakfast is served in the basement but has very little to offer - nothing warm, no fruit, no eggs. This place has potential, but isn’t quite there.

Getting to the Century Hotel by car is not the simplest thing: Parma is not NYC, but it looks like all streets leading to the hotel main entrance are either pedestrian or closed. We kept driving around the block, without being able to reach the building. The driving directions provided on the website and by email were of no use: you have to be extremely careful not to take the underpasses because the access is restricted to buses and cabs. Instead, you should drive through the railway square despite the road closed sign and then turn into the narrow lane leading to the hotel garage. We were worried that this would imply a fine, but the concierge assured that the route is complicated, but correct.||One good thing about the hotel is the private garage, which is certainly a strong point if you are traveling to Parma by car; another thing we appreciated is the position: you can easily walk to the city center in about 10 minutes. What we didn't particularly like is the persistent cigarette smoke odor in the lobby, in the elevator and in the corridors. All premises are non-smoking, but I reckon that the staff isn't too respectful of the smoke ban. That said, our first floor room didn't smell like smoke, even though there was a faint whiff of mildew, like if the bed lining or the towels had not dried properly.||That said, room 103 is big, with two separate spaces: a sitting area with a kitchenette and a bed; a proper bedroom area with a large double bed. The bathroom is large and modern, but the toiletries provided are barely enough for two people, with just a couple of tiny samples – one shampoo and one shower gel. Also, the hair drier is one of those affair nailed to the wall, with a cord so short that I had to sit on the toilet to dry my hair (and I am 5'5''). Also, the TV set dates back to the 80's and in fact there's only one channel available. There's a very large terrace which could be good if only they dusted and gave it a good scrub once in a while.||We didn't particularly like breakfast either: it is served in a nice room, but the food quality is quite poor. The selection is limited to a few industrial pastries, frosted flakes, artificial-tasting fruit juices, and instant coffee.||All things that I would easily put up with in a lower category hotel, but not in a three-star superior hotel, and at a rate of 130 euros per night.||My advice is to stay somewhere else: I am sure there are better places to stay for the same price.

This was a fantastic hotel for our stay in Parma. It is conveniently located next to the train station so we could easily find it when we arrived and drop off our things before going exploring. It is a pleasant 10-15 minute walk to the centre of town along a shopping street or along the river. We had a triple room at the end of the corridor which was large, clean, and quiet. The wifi was good too and worked well. The staff were all very friendly and the breakfast was amazing too with croissants, rolls, ham, cheese, yogurt, cereal, and cappuccinos. We had a great stay!
