Clean, somewhat modern hotel. Staff pleasant and English speaking. Location very close to train station but quiet - that said, it was early March so we kept the windows mostly closed to keep warm. Easy walking distance to most central sites and shops. Breakfast adequate, I thought, but we had stuffed ourselves at Ristorante La Forchetta the night before.

Very clean hotel. Walk from train station - easily with suit cases. Several blocks from everything - shopping -downtown. Safe area. High tech - set your air conditioner temp at front desk. Helpful and tourist friendly. Breakfast so- so. Very nice very clean.

The hotel decor is very modern and sometimes eclectic, however, everything looks very stylish. Room and bathroom are simple but of a high quality (which you don't normally expect from a 3-star property). However, breakfast was THE worst I have seen in my life (several dozens of hotels)! At first I thought it was some kind of misunderstanding when I... More

A good choice for those arriving in Parma by train, as it's located in the square right in front of the station. Parma is a small city and you're within a 5 minute walk of the lovely streets in the centre. For anybody here on EFSA business, it's an equally short walk across the river to work. I checked in...

Whilst the decor is nice and modern, and rooms are clean, and wifi connection good (but not free!) the place appears to be made out of paper walls. You can hear everything that goes on outside your door (banging, shouting opening and closing of doors, people getting in and out of lift, etc), and also what's going on next door!... More

Don't let the looks deceive you. I had over 700 Euros stolen from my bag. The hotel staff did not show any care nor have any procedure to investigate. This was reported to the police but with no camera's in the hotel (the only one at reception was fake, so I was told) there's no hope in finding the culprit.... More

The Century Hotel has been extensively renovated, and redecorated and it is a quality job all round. The hotel can be noisy during the day, as it is right by the railway and bus station, so ask for a room near the back of the hotel. The staff are fabulous, and the internet connection very good. The breakfast offered a... More

This is my second time in the Century and being aware there had been bad reviews in Trip Advisor I was very wary. I could not find one thing wrong with the hotel except maybe that the rooms are small and it is a bit too dear for a 3 star. It is, however, a lovely hotel with quirky furnishings,... More
