This was a lovely hotel. We stayed in the suite annex, which is a 1 minute walk from the main hotel. Beautiful, comfortable, and spacious. Location in the main centro area next to the castle was superb. Breakfast was outstanding. We would definitely stay here again!

Good central location
Great location just across the castle! I was with my bike on a tour so I had to park my bike on another street (the hotel has some residencies a couple of blocks away). The room was on a good condition, quite modern. The breakfast was decent.

Wonderful place!
Hotel Annunziata is a pearl of a place! Right after checking in, we had a lovely aperitivo right there at the hotel bar. The room was immaculate and the breakfast was plentiful and included locally sourced ingredients. Couldn't recommend this place more!

A well-appointed hotel right in the center of the city with everything a tourist would want to see in close proximity. Room was in good shape -- was in the hotel's annex a few blocks away from the main hotel in a spacious duplex room (although I confess I only went up to the second floor for a quick look once). Beds were good and bathrooms were decent. Staff was welcoming and helpful in recommending restaurants and providing advice on other tourist-related issues. Great breakfast buffet.

Beautiful rooms, gorgeous views of Castello
Beautiful, modern and really well-designed rooms. Loved our view of Castello Estense and that we could easily walk to all sights. Breakfast was a very generous and delicious selection. Staff very friendly and helpful. It'd have been nice to have free luggage storage, like in most other hotels - but, admittedly, the paid lockers were another example of clever design. Will definitely be back next time we're in Ferrara and will recommend to others!

Incredible location, easy walk to everything, friendly staff, and the view of the castle from the "superior double room with city view" was worth the extra cost. Decent breakfast, though the bread rolls were rubbery both days.
Room was great but we had a couple of issues with the bathroom. The water pressure in the shower was extremely low and the shower door was not closing properly so we ended up with soaked floors and shower mats after every shower.
But overall, great hotel.
