The Best Western Palace Inn Hotel in Ferrara is a solid choice for travelers, especially those on business or road trips. Strategically located just off the A13 motorway (Ferrara Nord exit), it’s super convenient for drivers, with free, monitored parking—a major plus. The hotel’s about 2 km from Ferrara’s city center, a 25-40 min walk or a quick ride on bus #6, which stops nearby. Nearby Lidl and Aldi supermarkets and a lively steakhouse right next door add to the practicality.
The 85 rooms are modern, soundproofed, and hypoallergenic, equipped with 32-inch LCD TVs, free Wi-Fi, power showers, and coffee/tea makers. Guests rave about the cleanliness and comfy beds, though some mention the AC can be tricky to adjust. The breakfast buffet is a standout—loaded with homemade cakes, fruits, cheeses, meats, eggs, and gluten-free/vegetarian options for €9 if not included. Staff are friendly, multilingual, and quick to help with local tips or bookings.
Downsides? The distance from the city center might bug those without a car, and a few guests have noted minor maintenance issues like slow elevators or occasional power glitches. The gym’s basic, so don’t expect a fitness paradise.
Overall, it’s a reliable, clean, and welcoming 4-star spot with great value for money. Perfect for a short stay if you prioritize convenience and comfort over being in the heart of Ferrara.
