No easy to reach plug close to the writing desk. Window was covered by a drape. I could not figure out how to raise it. Could add nuts and seeds to the breakfast buffet.

Specially warm personal touch from the staff. Excellent location, close to any point of interest (except the railway station, which is on the outskirts of the city). Ample and varied breakfast buffet, with above average hand-made cappuccino.

The staff were friendly and cheerful, the hotel is just a two minute walk from the Castello and the breakfast was outstanding.

What a beautiful place to stay! We especially liked the art (original paintings, ceramics and sculptures) and the various books on the art in and around Ferrara. Our room was beautiful and there was so much attention to detail. Room service was available and we were able to order a warm drink and a snack which was very welcome. Andrea was the perfect host, very knowledgeable and so kind. He had very helpful suggestions regarding parking and he stored our luggage for us so we could explore Ferrara on foot. The breakfast was exceptional. Freshly made spinach and ricotta tart, a tomato and cheese savoury, various pastries, various cereals, nuts, yoghurt, fresh fruit salad, prunes, ham, cheese, various fruit juices and freshly made cappuccinos. Just wonderful. Thank you so much, from Andrew and Clare.

Location was amazing, just a few minutes walk to Este Castle and town center. We stayed in the Anex room (family of 4) and the room was very spacious, had a kitchen (no oven) but we'll equipped with new pots and pans, cutlery etc. bathroom was huge and great shower. Breakfast was also superb with homemade cakes and biscuits. We really loved our stay at Hotel de Prati and would highly recommend it.

The tiniest of quibbles: I always prefer a bar of soap to shower gels, but that's just me being old fashioned!

I was very warmly welcomed when I arrived in the evening and a slightly flickery lightbulb I mentioned was replaced before I got back from dinner. My single room was a good size and with a decent desk and a very comfortable bed; it was immaculately clean. The street was pleasantly quiet, although at the absolute centre of the city. The breakfast room was very attractively decorated and the provision was varied and good. There was a range of gluten-free options. Throughout my stay enjoying Ferrara in an increasingly cold week I knew I would come home to a cosy place and a kindly greeting. The Christmas tree was lovely too! A model lesson in how the personal touch makes all the difference in business.

This is the best hotel I've ever stayed in, period, and I have had my fair share of the Marriotts and the Hiltons of this world. It is not only perfect all around -- everything is well thought of, equipment is high quality, breakfast is rich and diversified -- but also grant you with a HUMAN experience, thanks to the charming, helpful and noble family who owns and runs the place. You just feel their whole hearted efforts in each and every moment of your stay in the hotel. They are truly phenomenal at what they do, and deserve every word of praise.

Nothing. The breakfast room was a bit of a squeeze but not an issue at all.

Lovely , small traditional Italian hotel close to the centre of Ferrara and its attractions. Located in a quiet street, close to the Este castle. Antonio was a friendly and very helpful owner, obviously taking great pride in his property. Clean, tidy with firm, large beds and a great range of breakfast items available, which was always a pleasure to go down to. There is a small lift for those needing it. Would happily return to this charming hotel.

It was all pretty good, but being someone who likes dark bedrooms at night, I could have done with proper curtains rather than just the fixed slat external shutters and a thin single curtain inside. Not a big problem though. The breakfast was great, but spoilt by the use of UHT milk in the coffee.

This is a great, little hotel and has a genuine family-run feeling. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the location perfect in a quiet spot on the very edge of the centre and the breakfast offered plenty of choice. I would happily return if in Ferrara again.

If I had to find any kind of fault it would be that there were no blackout blinds or curtains and the AC unit isn't quite whisper quiet.

Lovely hotel in the heart of Ferrara but as it is on a quiet side street you won't get bothered by outside noises. Excellent breakfast and comfortable room.

What a delightful way to explore Ferrara. Walking distance to everywhere as it is so central. Very quiet. Delicious breakfasts with a great cappuccino. Very helpful staff. Lovely Osteria della Campana just a Street away.
