Hotel Arnaldo Aquila D’oro

Beautiful historic property. Gorgeous breakfast. Very kind staff.

The wifi could be fickle, but it’s Italy. Get out and explore!

Cute, historic hotel in Rubiera which is perfectly located to explore the area between Parma and Bologna. It was about a 5 min walk to the train station so going to explore other towns was very quick and easy. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was huge with a wonderful shower. Parking was very easy. The breakfast was fantastic with many options to please a variety of tastes.

The walls were not at all soundproofed so nights when I people were in neighboring rooms were a bit noisy and when there was more noise and activity in the town square it could also all be heard in the room. It was noted ahead of time that the restaurant was closed so I was not surprised by that but I do wish I had the opportunity to dine there - a good reason to make another trip to this lovely hotel.

historic building in center of town

Due to historic essence, rooms were small and dated.

This was a nice hotel to stay at. It is very conveniently located near the train station to go to Modena, Bologna and Parma.

I found the beds to be very hard.

Fun to know it was a post office long ago. Great breakfast service.

Like many places in Europe, no AC working until a certain season and no bedding options. A very warm comforter for a “warm sleeper” becomes slightly uncomfortable even with windows open. A sheet and light blanket would be nice.

The hotel is situated in the centre of Rubiera, but also easy for those who come in a car

Some parts of the room are a bit old and not well kept, in general it’s ok though

Excellent location above the Arnaldo Clinica Gastronomica. Easy to park, an excellent price. Bathroom of good size, even if a bit "old style". And obvioulsy the restaurant is outstanding !!!

The room is really small comparing the size of the bed. And rooms needs a renovation, quite old style

Clean, helpful staff, charming hotel with classy antique furniture in the heart of the little town of Rubiera. Delicious Italian breakfast, mainly the cakes and fruit juices.

Fantastic restaurant

Room cold, impersonal and poorly fitted out with toiletries etc … cheap

If I travel to this region in Italy I always sleep here! The breakfast is fantastic. Hotel Arnaldo has a Michelin star restaurant you cann't miss it!

Loved the beautiful way it was furnished. Had lots of character. The breakfast was amazing. The location great, markets were on the next day which was Saturday and they were set up right outside the hotel. Parking was on the street close by and we were given a parking card to put in our car. The room was comfortable and the shutters and window opened onto the street at the back of the hotel. Easy walking to bars and restaurants.

There was nothing we didn't like.

Beautyful Hotel in the heart of this small town.

Unfortunately the restaurant was closed on Monday

I picked the hotel to be perfectly honest due to their world famous restaurant. I was highly surprised about the hotel itself, steeped in history with pictures and old things everywhere. Like the old TV next to the reception, Enzo Ferrari already came here to eat and watch the telly. Rooms are spacious, quite and well equipped including Sky tv. Dinner was outstanding and will also be the reason for my return. The next day I had a fabulous breakfast and could watch the "Sfogline Arnaldine" at work, making all the fresh pasta for the day just next to me. At check out I even asked if I could see the famous 1959 Michelin guide (the first edition in Italy when stars were assigned). I'm in love

Everything was perfect

The location, comfort and convenience

A few cobwebs in our room and the shower gel very difficult to open

Wonderful vanished-world of 50s-60s Italy atmosphere and decorative style. The place feels like it could have been used to film some of the scenes in Fellini’s Amarcord, and is a complete delight, right down to the fabulous of-an-era bathroom fittings. Not a few of the residents look sufficiently grotesque to have played the part of extras in various others of the maestro’s oeuvre, all of which adds considerably to its charm and allure. Utterly delightful. Not to mention the intoxicating, heady aroma of ancient casks of balsamic vinegar which wafts through the upper storeys of the hotel.

Nothing worthy of comment.

Food, clean room!

We could not sleep on the first night because there was a big noise from the room next door!

Beautiful building and nicely decorated room and halls; excellent breakfast; superb restaurant

renovation work in front of a room's window; cleanliness was a bit so-so

Great historical building with plenty of unique items, easy parking in front of the hotel, superb restaurant, kind staff

Signs of decay in the room and bathroom.

Breakfast is decent, great selection of deserts. Rooms are good and cosy, depending of the side you are there is no noise or some noise, especially those room directly above restaurant. Location is best one can have in Rubiera. I am happy, I was in this hotel for 4th time this time.

Little variation in breakfast could help. I was really looking forward to eat in the hotel restaurant, but it was fully booked for next 3-4 months. :) No single seat available. Could be nice to have at least some option for the hotel guests.

The staff and location were great. We had a comfortable stay and really enjoyed the breakfast.

Not much really. There were no European power points in the room. Only the Italian style plugs. We were unlucky to stay when the restaurant was closed but we were really looking forward to it. This was our mistake.
