Wonderful place!

Hotel Annunziata is a pearl of a place! Right after checking in, we had a lovely aperitivo right there at the hotel bar. The room was immaculate and the breakfast was plentiful and included locally sourced ingredients. Couldn't recommend this place more!

A well-appointed hotel right in the center of the city with everything a tourist would want to see in close proximity. Room was in good shape -- was in the hotel's annex a few blocks away from the main hotel in a spacious duplex room (although I confess I only went up to the second floor for a quick look once). Beds were good and bathrooms were decent. Staff was welcoming and helpful in recommending restaurants and providing advice on other tourist-related issues. Great breakfast buffet.

Beautiful rooms, gorgeous views of Castello

Beautiful, modern and really well-designed rooms. Loved our view of Castello Estense and that we could easily walk to all sights. Breakfast was a very generous and delicious selection. Staff very friendly and helpful. It'd have been nice to have free luggage storage, like in most other hotels - but, admittedly, the paid lockers were another example of clever design. Will definitely be back next time we're in Ferrara and will recommend to others!

I attempted to book this hotel last minute at 11:55PM with my wife and two elderly parents because of unforeseen circumstances. Although I had booked for the date 9/6/23-9/7/23 and checked twice before I booked, the confirmation for booking I received was for the next day. I immediately notified Expedia (literally one minute after booking), and attempted to cancel right away. The agent who helped me contacted the hotel and hotel responded with “do not cancel the hotel and call management in the morning”. We scrambled through the city at midnight to find another hotel for the night as the this hotel was fully booked. We did as they said and called the manager the next morning. To our surprise, we were met with a condescending response that included “why didn’t you cancel immediately, you made us lose a customer, and you are playing a game.” I calmly explain what had happened. Manager hurriedly hung up the call and told us to email as they were very busy doing “check in”at 10:42AM. This is unacceptable, and If anyone runs into a scheduling conflict or issue with a booking I would hope you wouldn’t be accused of “playing a game” to sabotage a hotel. Please be aware of the unprofessionalism by the manager of this hotel. I would highly reconsider booking with this hotel as this kind of issue can happen any moment, and you will be met with such hostile attitude.

Incredible location, easy walk to everything, friendly staff, and the view of the castle from the \"superior double room with city view\" was worth the extra cost. Decent breakfast, though the bread rolls were rubbery both days.
Room was great but we had a couple of issues with the bathroom. The water pressure in the shower was extremely low and the shower door was not closing properly so we ended up with soaked floors and shower mats after every shower.
But overall, great hotel.

Best hotel in Ferrara

This hotel is ideally located in the center of Ferrara, a beautiful city in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. Directly across from the castle, the hotel is also next to several restaurants and historical sights. Clean, modern and offers a good and healthy breakfast. The staff are exceptional and make the hotel even more wonderful. We will stay here again when we return to Ferrara; an incredible place to visit. Grazie mille!

Nice city center and hotel.

Our room view was of the lovely, old castle. The beds were very comfortable. I relished in the \"top quality\" air conditioning unit because Im from south USA. You guys traveling in Europe know what I mean ; ) by that! Same feelings about the big selection at a delicious breakfast. If you are American you will probably like this little hotel more than other 4 stars in Europe. Feels safe also. The nice lady at desk helped me book facial&nails apt at\"Estetica\"close by.Make sure to have prices written down on paper before you start apt. The prices 30Eu normal red nails and 60Eu facial. This is not a pampering salon at all, they are fast but the good part is you wont spend many hours in there. The end result was good and Im an expert on spas & salons. The ice cream shop around the corner is delicious. Watch out for MANY people on bikes they might run you over! Haha. Nice traditional Italian city. Good restaurants. Decent shopping. We enjoyed it.

Can’t expect a beter stay

This hotel stay was one of our highlights of the 5 days visit in Parma, Bologna, Ferrara, Ravenna. We stayed in hundreds of hotels in the last 30 years, but can’t remember a better one in service, in location, in interior design, in personal touch, than Hotel Annunziata.
I.e.: It is so unique to have a historical building in the heart of Ferrara and still decorated with the fine works of local contemporary artist. During our brief meeting with the owner of the hotel, he explained that every second month they change the art works. It’s amazing and shows the dedication and the long-term investment of the management in the interest of the quests.

Perfection in the shadow of the Este Castle

This is a perfect hotel run and staffed by people who really know what hospitality means. The bedroom was comfortable and attractive and had everything we needed. The hotel has lovely common rooms -- an inside and outside bar, a library with good books and a variety of the day's newspapers, a fantastic breakfast. Check-in and out were a breeze. The hotel was very helpful with its instructions about how to bring our car into the restricted zone of the city. We came to tour the city but took advantage of their business center and printed some files. We only stayed one night but will come back soon.

Comfortable and modern, but not quite 4-star

The hotel is well located, adjacent to the Castello Estense. It has a clean, modern interior throughout, including our room. The bathroom was a generous size, but, unfortunately, the same could not be said for the room itself. This made us question the hotel's four star rating, as did the fact that we were only given one tiny bar of soap for the two nights stay and this was never replenished. The same goes for the other bathroom amenities - one of each and never replaced when used. Luckily, we had our own shower gel with us. The breakfast buffet is a highlight.

Fabulous Ferrara

We stayed at the Annunciata in Ferrara for two nights. A fabulous weekend. The hotel is perfectly situated; our excellent room was in the beautifully renovated annexe which is about a hundred metres from the main hotel building, in another historic medieval street.
