Nice, classy rooms, fully eqipped, friendly staff, silent, well priced, good breakfast (rare in Italy !). I really recommend it !

They made a mistake with our reservation for a family of 4 when we booked a suite for 4, yet the 'suite' only slept two. The sofa bed in the suite not only could not open because of the dimensions of the room, but it could not fit two teenagers (it must have been about 10 cm larger than a single bed). We had to get a second room -- the only available and ended up paying about 490 euros ("as there were no other rooms available sorry", an exorbitant sum for a small hotel in the little town of Modena.

Also, the telephone numbers listed by the hotel on the reservation confirmation were mistakenly wrong......

Breakfast was even worse. One stale croissant available at 9 am, and two pieces of stale bread wrapped in plastic. No eggs and the coffee was bad. And this was supposed to be a 4* hotel and was also affiliated with a restaurant. NOt the case.

Also the distance from the hotel to the old town center is significant and was a long walk for us. It is not 'at the town wall' as stated. We stayed in January of 2006.

Don't get scammed.

The hotel is a business hotel. The rooms are wood paneled and organized tightly regarding space. The location is near the medical school, not near town. The centre of the city is ½ mile away and you really need to take a taxi or drive. The other sites in Modena like Ferrari Museum also require a car. The hotel serves an excellent breakfast but no other meals on site. There is a restaurant next door for lunch and dinner which is excellent. Internet is only available in the lobby by paid WiFi or use of the hotel computer (5E for your entire stay).
