I was visiting Modena with my family and needed two rooms for a two night stay. Tripadvisor came to the rescue, as central hotels seemed in short supply and Cervetta 5 was perfect for our needs. The location is fantastic, literally steps from the Piazza Grande; and the rooms clean and functional rather than luxurious. The staff and friendly and... More

We spent 3 nights at Hotel Cervetta and had three rooms as there were three couples and we had a great time here. The staff were amazing, so very helpful. We had quite a small room (1 couple) with small shower for one night. Beds are the best I have had since leaving Australia. Luca bent over backwards and moved... More

If your expectations are realistic you will enjoy Hotel Cervetta 5. It is a good hotel, very clean, and very well located. But the very high ratings and praises in other reviews raised my expectations far beyond what this hotel can deliver, and therefore made me feel very disappointed when I arrived. There is no elevator. Size of the double... More

My wife and I spent one night in Modena in order to visit Osteria Francescana. We booked this hotel based on TripAdvisor recommendations and it was perfect for what we wanted. The room was much larger then we expected and very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and although they did not speak much English we managed to... More

Our family - my husband, our three teen boys and myself - spent one lovely night in Hotel Cervetta 5. The staff are lovely and extremely helpful. In fact, the owner (possibly?) recommened a restaurant for dinner that was probably one of the best meals we had on our whole trip (Danilo - try it, it's amazing). The rooms, while... More

My wife and i recently spent 2 days in Modena and had the pleasure of staying in this hotel. When looking for somewhere to stay in Modena there didn't seem to be a vast selection but once we discovered this hotel, it looked as though it would suit us perfectly and there was very little here that disappointed us. The... More

For a 3 star hotel they certainly make more effort than required. A nice welcome with an offer of a coffee. Breakfast was nice and the candles lit around a nice touch. The cleaning of the room in the afternoon was very much appreciated. Would highly recommend if you are going to Modena on business of pleasure.

Very comfortable relaxing boutique type hotel with friendly staff who were very helpful during the four nights that we recently stayed. There is little to add here to other favourable reviews that have been posted by others. The location is perfect for the Piazza Grande where the cathedral is and is close to good restaurants. For those arriving by train,... More

Although the hotel rooms of this small hotel in Modena are average, the excellent location in town, friendly reception and perfect small breakfast makes it all up. It is interesting to notice that at the end, the quality of the rooms is less important than you would think if the staff is so helpfull and friendly.
