Very nice rooms & staff.
Everything about the hotel and staff was wonderful except we had no hot water for about 15 hours of our 2 day stay. Location was ideal for us. Near train station, restaurants and our tour meeting point.

Opposite the train station. Very convenient if you are arriving or leaving by train. Good value for the price.
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We love that it's right across from the train station. Our room was bigger than i expected and very clean. The bed was great. It's about a 25-minute walk to the center of town though.
gene, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff were great. Location is good if you are catching the train to other places (Modena or Parma) but 15 mins walk into city centre. Hotel is nice but rooms are a bit dated and in need of some refurbishment but perfectly adequate for a short stay.
Simon, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect location
Our hotel was centrally located directly across the street from the train station. So perfect location! Room was clean and well kept. Staff was very helpful.

Great location for travellers, next to train station with dozens of regional trains to multiple destinations, not far from the historic city centre.

One night stay - lovely hotel and opposite the train station so perfect for catching train next morning.
deirdre, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Fine
The service was excellent from everyone I encountered. The breakfast was good. However, I found the stay quite uncomfortable. Bed and pillows terrible. Chair to work at desk in room was awful. Heating/aircon didn't work, so hot at night but very cold for early morning get-ups. Also, when I first arrived, I was put into a room literally next to building work happening. It was deafening. They QUICKLY changed me to a different room. Which I appreciate. But a 4 star hotel should be avoiding putting guests in these rooms anyway, it seems pretty obvious to me.
Thomas, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our stay. The staff was very helpful.
Laura, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property was right by the train station, walkable to many areas in the city, and near many places to eat and shop. It was convenient, clean, and the staff was so kind. The rooms were also a great size, and clean. It was a great place, and I would definitely stay here again, as well as any of their other locations around the world.
