What guests say
Reviews consistently praise the property's central and convenient location, ideal for exploring Ferrara on foot and close to the train station. Staff is generally appreciated for friendliness and helpfulness, though a few reviewers note variable hospitality. Rooms are often described as clean, spacious and functional, but some mention cleanliness issues in bathrooms or common areas. The value for money is considered a strong point, particularly for families and recently renovated rooms. The lack of air conditioning, with only fans in many rooms, is noted as a drawback during hot periods. Noise levels can be high in street-facing rooms. Breakfast is basic but fits the price. The atmosphere is friendly and suitable for both solo travelers and families.












Gentile Anne, la ringraziamo per aver lasciato una traccia della sua presenza. Cordiali saluti Alessandro (manager)










Gentile Viviana, la ringraziamo per averci lasciato un feedback del suo soggiorno. Siamo felici che abbia reputato il nostro staff gentile e disponibile. Ci dispiace che abbia considerato la struttura vecchia e poco curata. Lo Student's Hostel Estense sorge all'interno di un palazzo storico con soffitti a cassettoni o in legno e la struttura nel suo complesso deve mantenere le sue caratteristiche originali. Capiamo che determinate caratteristiche vengano apprezzate da molti ma non da tutti. Cordiali saluti. Alessandro (manager).










Gentile Valentina, siamo felici che abbia apprezzato la posizione della struttura, la bellezza e la spaziosità della camera. Ci dispiace essere apparsi poco sorridenti e simpatici; a volte ci sono giorni un po' più impegnativi come nel ponte del primo maggio e forse perdiamo un po' di smalto. Cordialmente Alessandro (manager)


















































Gentile cliente, siamo molto felici che abbia apprezzato il pernottamento presso il nostro ostello. Abbiamo il latte vegetale a colazione che si richiede direttamente nella zona bar (latte di soia, latte di mandorla ecc). Ci dispiace che ci sia stata questa incomprensione. Cordiali saluti Alessandro










Gentile Camila, Siamo molto felici che abbia apprezzato i servizi offerti dalla nostra struttura! Un saluto da parte dello staff dello Student’s Hostel Estense!!!






















Siamo felici che abbia apprezzato la nostra ospitalità e la ringraziamo per la sua simpatia!!!
































Gentile signora, Siamo spiacenti che non abbia apprezzato i nostri servizi. Sinceramente risulta difficile immaginare che abbia ricevuto un benvenuto sgarbato. Probabilmente avevamo terminato i coriandoli e lo champagne. In ogni caso la ringraziamo per aver lasciato una traccia della sua presenza. Le recensioni sia positive ( che sono la quasi totalità) che negative ci aiutano a migliorare. Cordiali saluti Alessandro (manager)


Siamo felici che la sua esperienza sia stata positiva e che abbia apprezzato l’organizzazione della struttura. Cordiali saluti Alessandro (manager)












































































Gentile cliente, La ringraziamo per aver gradito la posizione e l’accoglienza dello staff. Siamo dispiaciuti invece per il giudizio di altri parametri che, al netto di nostre eventuali mancanze, sono parse ingenerose. Tutte le recensioni ci aiutano comunque a migliorare il nostro lavoro e l’attenzione per i nostri clienti. Cordiali saluti Alessandro (manager)
