My husband, son and I stayed here in a triple room in April. It was clean, comfortable and quiet - overlooking a courtyard. Quirky art by local artists on the wall. The staff were fabulous, provided maps and advice about where to go to eat and the best places to visit. The breakfast was very good. Recommended.

6 of us (3 generations) stayed here last weekend. Faultlessly clean, great breakfast, quirky art around the place. And only €90 per room, 2 in each. For travellers from the UK this kind of price and value disappeared years ago, and restaurants in the town ditto. Rooms overlooking the street are noisier, obviously. Ask for one facing back and not... More

Arrived from Bologna airport on Bus & Fly service which was not cheap at 15e each especially as bus was empty. Hotel was just a few minutes walk from Ferrara town center drop off stop near the castle. The hotel was very easy to find as it is on the street directly behind the main road opposite the castle.

Given its location, amenities, rooms, prices, as well as the helpful staff and owners, the Prati is by far my favorite hotel in Ferrari. My recent four-day stay was my second and I will never stay anywhere else

We spent 5 nights at Hotel De Prati as our base location. Out hotel was 2 blocks from the castle and in the heart of historic Ferrara. Artwork was hung throughout the hotel resembling an art gallery and the decor provided a sense of sophistication and calmness. Our room (#25) had high celings with a mini-bar, armoire, flat screen tv... More

We stayed many nights at the Hotel di Prati in May 2012. We had good experience. It's in a central location of Ferrara which we can walk or bike to most places. The room is lovely, clean, comfortable, and beautiful. It was quiet and great. The staff are polite, nice, friendly, and very helpful. We like the breakfast, with fresh... More

We were in Ferrara for a series of business meetings, and the organisers had de Prati on their list. We chose it because it was close to the meeting location, in a restored old building (ie not a modern soulless new build), and in a quiet street. Oh and by the way, the price was extremely attractive as well! We... More

We were only there one night but the staff were very helpful in guiding us towards the alternative venue for the concert as the Piazza was undergoing renovation work due to the Earthquake... More

This is the best hotel of its class that I stayed in during three weeks of travel around the Veneto region. The location couldn't be more central at 2 minutes from the Castello Estense. The staff were uniformly exceptionally polite, courteous and friendly. They have some lovely modern art on display on the walls. My room had the odd mosquito,... More
