“Hotel Carlton sits comfortably in Ferrara's historic heart, a short walk from the cathedral and many restaurants. From what I gather, the staff go beyond expectations; reading how they arranged an off-schedule ironing service really stood out. It strikes me as a reliable choice, blending modern comforts with a family-run warmth that's quite appealing.”
