Very friendly staff, plenty of great restaurants within easy walking distance.
It is also within easy walking distance of the train station, but be warned the footpaths are very bumpy and not ideal for wheeled suitcases, nothing to do with the hotel, but something to note.
Very comfy beds, and air conditioning to keep them cool, rooms are definitely dated and a bit rundown but kept very clean & tidy.
Good little breakfast room as well.
We liked that it was close to Modena's center and it was very walkable.
The hotel is a little dated but for us wasn't a problem. We enjoyed the breakfast, the beds were comfortable and room/bathroom were very clean. We'll stay here again.
It was a good stay overall, very conveniently located, spacious room. My room location wasn't ideal - in the evening, the fare in the park outside had loud music until midnight, and in the morning I could hear everything the staff was doing in the staff room/balcony near. My room was 305, so maybe ask for a different one. It was also very cold! Luckily, there were blankets in the wardrobe.
Nice property with a few glitches. Our top floor room got sauna-level warm without the heat being turned on because of heating system flaw that required us to keep the windows open. Our door latch handle kept dropping off onto the carpet. Fresh orange juice for breakfast! B-grade breakfast pastries. Self-serve coffee machine! Hard-boiled eggs only.
A very pleasant hotel near the city centre and the station. Very close to the main museums
Room was small but very quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was good with plenty of choices

The staff were very friendly and the location is very close to the old downtown area where you can find the beautiful cathedral and lots of great places to eat. Watch your arrival time - we came in on a train from Rome on a Monday, and after checking in around 2:30, it was difficult to find a place open for a late lunch.

The bedroom looked old fashioned and could do with minor decorating. The shower was miniscule, but it was clean and comfortable. It was quiet at night and very convenient for visiting the old town. Breakfast was amazing, best hotel breakfast i have had for many years; huge choice of fruit juices and fresh orange juice to make yourself. Good choice of fresh fruit and meat and cheese. Machine coffee wasn’t great and no decaf. However good selection of teas.

Staff were helpful. Room was sufficiently clean on the surface but needs updating and a deep clean. Good breakfast.
