Across the river from the centro storico, this refined four-star overlooks the leafy Parco Ducale (and, unfortunately, a busy road). The 20 guest rooms are tastefully furnished with plenty of polished wood and gleaming marble.
The spare, hospital-green decor leaves a lot to be desired, but it’s hard to argue with Hotel Button’s spacious rooms and bathrooms, free wi-fi and convenient location in the heart of historic Parma. Parking costs €10.
Near the autostrada on Parma’s northern outskirts, this modern hostel has free wi-fi, inexpensive laundry facilities and a dining area (but no guest kitchen). Breakfast costs €2.50 extra.
Flying the flag for budget accommodation in this otherwise pricey city, the Leon d’Oro offers no-nonsense, fan-cooled rooms with high ceilings and old-fashioned furniture.
There’s nothing particularly theatrical about the Torino’s rooms; still, it’s a reliable, centrally located midrange choice that periodically offers online discounts. Parking costs €12.
If you're looking for a basic bolthole in the heart of the action, this cheerful, no-frills pensione will do fine.
