8.4/10 Very Good! (498 reviews)
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.

8.8/10 Excellent! (221 reviews)
This hotel is beautiful. Great balcony room. The front desk staff are super helpful. The dinning room young lady was AMAZING - she's a 10. The hotel is an industrial area in a one road town. So the area was NOT great. But we came for F1 and it was easy to get to track. And we had limited options cause busy time. I like this hotel the room was big and comfortable and clean

"Excellent modern property which has large modern rooms, air-con and a pool. Really good breakfast. While it’s outside of the city centre proper, it’s in a quiet area that still has a lot of amentities and is close to the station"
