Hotels near Ostellato, Ostellato

We could not have asked for a better play to stay during our Christmas holiday in Comacchio. Riccardo is an absolute gem, beyond gracious and accommodating from the moment we arrived until we had to sadly say goodbye. We stayed in one of the new rooms that have a stunning view of the canals. It was impeccably clean and thoughtfully designed with a lot of space, a very comfortable bed and a wonderful spa-like bathroom! We looked forward to the delicious breakfast every morning as we were greeted by the staff’s smiles, immense hospitality and delicious variety of food (including gluten-free options!) and yummy coffees. We could have stayed for hours lounging in the breakfast room, it was cozy and the big windows looking out at the cobblestone Comacchio streets and canals made us feel like we were sitting within a scene of a movie. Riccardo and his team clearly put their hearts and hard work into making Al Ponticello a home-away-from-home for their guests and we look forward to returning every time we are visiting our family in Comacchio. We can not recommend Al Ponticello enough, look no further when booking a BandB!

I stayed for several nights and found the room to be very comfortable and spacious, ideal for more than a one night stay. There is an Annex with sofa bed and TV (not HDMI capable) , fridge and hanging space. The bathroom is well equipped and the shower was excellent. Breakfast was basic but standard for Italy. There is no lift so be expected to carry your bags and if you struggle with stairs this isn't for you. The room was cleaned every day and the cleaner provided extra bottled water and cutlery on request, she was very friendly. The hotel location is the best in Ferrara as far as I'm concerned. You are next to 2 excellent restaurants and 30 seconds from the main piazza. Parking is about 5 minutes away and approx € 20 per night. The hotel overall was ideal for my needs and I would recommend to anyone stayin in Ferrara

I booked a room including breakfast a few days ago and asked about the possibility of having breakfast in the room, given the current covid situation and was told that it was not a problem and to just call in the morning. I called and when asked what I wanted I mentioned a croissant and some bread, thinking that it would be obvious that there would be jam or something with the bread. No, only the bread, the croissant and the cappuccino, and the knife, although I am not sure what for. What shocked me was the room service cost, 10 euros for bringing that tray to the room. Most hotels will charge 2-3, maybe 5euros euros for room service charge but 10 euros is far too much!When I checked out I was told I had to pay for the room, the parking and the room service, to which I told her that I already paid for the room with breakfast online. All sorted but the room service bill was far too much, especially given the pandemic situation where one is trying to avoid being in a room full of people without masks on. The room was in the annex of the hotel and was comfortable enough although the toilet area is too small, one has to walk in sideways and basically your knees are almost touching the wall in front of you when you sit. The rooms in the annex probably have thin walls as one can hear everything, including guests who talk loudly at 02:00 in the morning. The street cleaners also started cleaning the piazza at 01:30 in the morning. The location is great but it was impossible to sleep. wifi is also spotty in the room (110).

The hotel is located in the outskirts of the city center but it is very convenient if one is traveling by car. To arrive to downtown one needs around 15 minutes on foot. Fine for us. One can see that it had been a very elegant place, unfortunately right now needs renovation. Some things of our room were not in good condition. The heating system was not working properly but fortunately the people from the reception sent someone to fix it. We had too a little inconvenient with some kids that were making a lot of noise making it impossible to sleep. Again the problem was solved. It would say that the most outstanding offer of the hotel is the helpfulness and friendliness of some people in the reception area .There is a guy who is fantastic and I am so sorry that I can’t remember his name. The breakfast was ok. Investing some money to renovating it would be a fantastic idea!!!

We stayed at the hotel for 1 week. Our experience with Radisson hotels is big, we stayed in different ones but Radisson Ferrara was something special! Clean, light and warm. Relatively close to many destinations like Venice, Bologna, Verona and even San Marino (just 1h 50 min drive). The restaurant positively surprised us with tasty food and a good selection of wines. But I would like to especially mention our waiter - Ionel. He’s a very kind, knowledgeable and positive person who served us all week long. He always knows what to offer us from the wines as an addition to the food, what kind of places to see around the hotel and was always ready to help with everything. Thank you, Ionel! Additional thank you to Amira for the morning coffee to three of us!
