Sina Maria Luigia

We were going to stay at the NH Parma hotel as we were arriving by train. However, family of UK friends who live in Parma advised against staying in close proximity to the station as it was a very shady area. The Sina Maria Luigia therefore seemed the best compromise - near to the station but getting in to a better area. ||The on-line reviews were not very good so we were hoping for the best but expecting the worst. However, we were pleasantly surprised by our stay. Public areas were very smart although the restaurant looked a little tired. Our deluxe room was large, modern and in quite good condition. We had some issues checking in which set alarm bells ringing but they were resolved quickly and satisfactorily. Beds were comfortable if firm and bed linens were good quality. Wi-Fi worked well as did the a/c despite being noisy. The bathroom was large too with good towels and toiletries and we had bathrobes and slippers. There was tea and coffee making facilities but no milk. We had the now old fashioned room key which meant drop off and collection at reception.||Breakfast was adequate to satisfy most tastes. However, towards the end of breakfast service (10.30am), items ran low and the few staff on duty did nothing to replenish.||The staff we came across were not terribly forthcoming, doing the minimum. But there was one Asian receptionist who was lovely, helpful and friendly. ||Hotel location turned out to be very good, only a fairly short walk into the centre of Parma, manageable in 30c heat. Think the NH hotel would have been just a bit too far out being at the back end of the station. What was really nice was the road the hotel is on is lined with lime trees and the scent from the blossoms was gorgeous both day and night.

The hotel was just round the corner from the old town of Parma so very well situated. The rooms had comfortable beds and good air conditioning, we ate breakfast in the hotel but not dinner. The reception staff were very helpful with all enquiries.

Took a day trip to Parma from Florence and spent one night here. I made an error and booked the wrong night - a week out from the night I intended. Arrived at the hotel - a very short 5 minute walk from the train station - and explained situation to Andrea, who was at the front desk. He took care of me and my traveling companion and secured a room for each of us. He was so understanding and accommodating. Hotel is conveniently located to the train station (5 minute walk if that) and about 10 minutes from the city centre. Very clean and very updated, modern rooms at a fabulous price. Staff so helpful! Upon arriving back at the hotel after dinner, my friend realized he did not have his phone. Staff called the restaurant to confirm it was there and my friend was able to take taxi back to restaurant to retrieve it. Overall a GREAT experience, a great hotel and highly recommend.

Don’t stay here. Service is inexcusable. Almost 30C and they don’t have air conditioning. We checked in and they said air co is working - came to our room. After dinner, they brought us a broken fan and said the air co os turned off for the whole hotel. This was their last fan they said. No apologies and only excuses.

Very nice hotel and an easy walk from Parma station, and an enjoyable 10min walk to the center. Many stores and sites to see along the way, but I suggest to get off the main road and wander.||Welcoming staff, great suggestions for dinner, always helpful. Room was good for 2ppl with large comfortable bed and a sofa||Breakfast was adequate for our needs. All in all I would recommend.

Plus: location. Easy 8 minute walk into the historic center. The room was quiet and clean.Breakfast had a wide range of items. (Very disappointing croissants)||Minuses: the room had almost no natural light. It overlooked an air shaft. The hotel felt dated. Completely lacked any charm. The carpet in the hallways was stained and in need of replacement. Breakfast coffee was from a machine where you selected expresso, capuchins, latte etc. pretty terrible tasting as you’d expect. And there often were 10 or more people in line. |Finally the staff. Some were very nice. Most just doing their job. |Little things that to me are very telling about how they care for their clients. Map of city they gave had such small print was just about useless. Plus there were numbers marked that I assume were key sites. But no key explaining. Finally asked the woman at desk if she could recommend a few spots for lunch and dinner. Her answer- they are all good. Really?

Stayed here Jan 24 with friends. Very friendly staff and nice welcome. Good size rooms with top quality facilities. Great value hotel in excellent location a few mins walk away from the city centre and main squares, and from the train station. Check out the Colorado cafe at the end of the road for great snacks and coffee.

My partner and I had the pleasure of staying at this charming hotel for one night during our visit to Parma. Located in close proximity to the railway station of Parma, it made our arrival and departure seamless. It was also within walking distance of the center of Parma and all the bustling restaurants, which made exploring the city incredibly convenient. One of the first things that struck us was the impeccable cleanliness of the hotel. The lobby, hallways, and our room were all spotless, setting the tone for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The air conditioning in the room worked like a charm, providing respite from the summer heat and ensuring a restful night's sleep. The hotel's breakfast selection was good. There were numerous options to choose from, and catering to different tastes. From freshly baked pastries to a variety of fruits and cereals, the spread was not only delicious but also thoughtfully presented. However, what truly stood out during our stay was the warm and friendly service we received from the hotel staff. From the moment we checked in to the time of our departure, the staff members were attentive, accommodating, and always ready to assist with any queries or requests. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Parma for a short stay.
