We stayed at the hotel already for the second time. The rooms as well as breakfast were excellent.

Nice Mosern hotel. A little away from downtown Parma. The faucets in the washroom sinks are very low and hard to wash hand or fill water. This is not a big deal but seemed very odd why they chose those for faucets. Rest the rooms are modern and well equipped.
