Reviews for Hotel Posta

Excellent hotel experience in the Historic Centre of Reggio Emilia

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

We recently stayed three nights at the Hotel Posta for our first visit to Italy. I booked the room back in January, as we had planned to visit Reggio Emilia to spend some time with an Italian friend whom I had not seen for a very long time. The Hotel was the perfect choice for us, as it is in the historic centre, which provided us plenty of places to visit within this beautiful town. The staff were all very friendly and professional throughout our stay and nothing was too much trouble. We booked the family suite at the very top of the building which is beautiful and was a comfortable room for My wife, Daughter, and I. I would not hesitate to book this hotel for our next visit to Reggio, we were very sad to leave! Grazie per tutto!

Perfect 500 year history

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 months ago

The Hotel Posta began it's life in the early 14th C as the Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo a kind of "city hall". It was succeeded by a newer palazzo and has been accepting guests in some form or another for over 5 centuries. Well located just around the corner from the Duomo in the peaceful pedestrianized Centro Storic, my room was lovely , the prima colazione excellent and I had the opportunity to sit down over a cup of coffe and chat with Umberto Sidoli the manager. His family has been running Hotel Posta since the 1930's. It is the longest in continuous operation lodging place in the World, 500 years

Exquisite hotel

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 7 months ago

Hotel Posta is simply the most beautiful, memorable and magical hotel I’ve stayed in, anywhere in the world. What makes it special? It could be its history, perfect central location, the amazing breakfast, beautiful atmosphere….but actually it’s the staff. From reception (thanks especially to Stefania and Frederika), the breakfast room ladies, the wonderful housekeeping staff, the bar/restaurant staff each - every person in the Hotel Posta team were lovely and helpful. I had the pleasure of staying here for 9 nights, in a single room then a superior double room. All rooms are gorgeous and characterful. This is my second stay at Hotel Posta and I would only stay here in beautiful Reggio Emilia. I cannot wait to return, though it’s a long way from Australia!

Fantastic.

We were served in the bar by David, who not only makes a great cocktail, but went out of his way to provide great service. He gave great restaurant recommendations, and showed us the special meeting room. The hotel and it's history is fantastic, and David's service capped off a great stay.

4 star hotel in the city center

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed April 24, 2022

Well located. Right in the old part of city. Hotel with 500 years of history. We had an attic suite on the 5th floor. Spacy, two separate rooms. No noise from outside and no noise from outside. Very good. A bit old fashioned style. Beds were hard but it seems it’s everywhere in Italy unfortunately. Hallways are impressive and the service is attentive. Breakfast was organised the way you can not touch anything. But unfortunately the variety of breakfast was small. Nothing extra, only very basic items available. I was a bit disappointed because I expected more from this kind of hotel. But overall, good hotel with good service. 4 star.

I want to thank Hotel Posta and its staff for the high quality service we received when we visited last month. The front desk staff were particularly helpful. Thank you again!

I very much enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend this hotel. Hotel Posta is a lovely and elegant hotel with lots of charm and history. The location is superb in the center of town off the main piazza, where there are many wonderful shops, restaurants and weekly markets. But most of all we very much appreciated the friendliness of the staff and their assistance. It truly made our stay memorable.

Wonderful hospitality during our stay...each person - from front desk staff, to the bartender and valet parking, to the room attendant - was helpful, warm, and professional.
-P. Bell


We found Reggio to be a beautiful, relaxing and friendly place to visit - it exceeded our expectations. The Hotel Posta staff was most professional and helpful and we found each interaction with them to be enjoyable. The hotel is first class, and we will recommend it without hesitation. Additionally, we had a wonderful visit and meal at Cavazzone!

We have just returned from two luxury link trips ( back to back trips to Reggio Emilia and then Venice). The trip was flawless and fabulous. Our hotel in Reggio Emilia, Hotel Posta, was truly charming and the personal attention from the staff and the owners exceeded our expectations. Umberto was helpful, charming, and all their recommendations were right on the mark. We chose to take the tour of the balsamic farm (Cavazonne, which is owned by Umberto's family). What a wonderful evening. Senora Sidori was our guide and she was so passionate about their life, the balsamic, the history of this region. Her attitude, knowledge and grace were truly inspiring and infectious and our dinner was superb. As well, the sweeping views were breathtaking. We were treated to a taste of their own 70-year old balsamic, and practically swooned. The town of Reggio Emilio is one of the friendliest, most authentic places we've ever visited in Italy and we retired to our suite each day to pause, as the locals do, in the early afternoon, then resume our walks and tastes of the city. A truly amazing journey.
