Hotel Posta

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!

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

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!

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.

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.
