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.

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.

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.
