Stayed in this hotel as part of a Tuscany tour with Gate One Travel. Hotel was super clean, room was very comfortable, breakfast was wonderful and the staff was great. It was a good 30-35 minutes walk to the train station and 5 minutes by taxi, for less than 6 Euros. You can walk 10 minutes from the hotel and take the bus for Euro 1.20 which drops you off at the door of the Parma train station. There is a supermarket that has everything you need, and more, 10 minutes away and you take the bus right in front of it. I bought cheese (Parmigiano Reggiano "sticks" to bring home as gifts) and snacks and water and the prices were very cheap.
I would have loved for them to have a shuttle to take people to the train station for a small charge but they did not. It will be no problem for those that have a car. All in all the hotel was wonderful. Highly recommend this hotel.
