摩德納省Palazzo Barozzi附近酒店

This is quite an old fashioned hotel, in a very good way - like the hotels your parents couldn't afford to bring you to when you were a child, if you are a middle-class European. This should be a big plus to many guests, it certainly was to me. I travel a lot these days, stay in a lot of hotels and generally view them with a deeply jaded eye, it's refreshing to find one's cynicism confounded once in a while. My wife and I managed to get ourselves stranded in Bologna, after the last public transport connection to our distant residence in the mountains had been missed. We booked a suite at the last moment, it was very good value, the receptionist spoke English very well and we were treated with courtesy and respect throughout - even though we must have looked like a couple of derelicts after a day walking around in the heat. The bed was comfortable and, although the USB charger took a bit of finding (on the TV) it was definitely there. The water was hot and the whole place was sparkling clean. The old fashioned air conditioning worked, properly, which is unhappily not always the case these days. The breakfast was excellent too. We were called a taxi and went on our way well satisfied. If you're looking for something up to the moment and cutting edge, this is not for you. To me and people like me, it is a breath from an older, better time - shining like a good deed in a naughty world. For the avoidance of doubt, I liked it.

I stayed in the hotel during the July heatwave. Hence the best part of the hotel, the garden, was not really usable. The beautiful photos of the grand rooms at the reception level are really misleading. These rooms are not used for anything and are therefore adding little to the value. The worst bit was the room. Although on my own, I actually shared the room (and the bathroom) with the ants (plenty of them). When I arrived at 3 pm at 38C degrees, the fridge in the room was not working because it was unplugged. Basically the adapter was missing (both issues were dealt with after complaints, but issues like this should not arise in a 4* hotel). Note that the power points take in the old fashioned 3-pin Italian plugs and hence you need an adapter regardless of where you live. The bathroom, although clean, smelled of dampness and the shower sewage outlet was getting clogged after just a few minutes. The room, while spacious, felt very, very tired. Nobody has put a lick of paint in it for 50 years or so. Air-con was OK. The staff were a mixed bag. A young lady at the reception was the only one who put a smile on her face. The older members of the stuff looked like they are tired of everything and just waiting for retirement. Having moved from this hotel to the same-chain hotel in Bologna, the differences are to the extreme in every respect. In my mind, the only thing that is 4* in this hotel is the price. Everything else is at best 3* (cannot comment on breakfast, was not having it). On the positive side is the location of the hotel, 10 min walk to the Piazza Grande.

Unfortunately, we did not like the stay at all. There was no air conditioning in the whole hotel, which meant that we had to sweat for two nights. There was no apology at the reception, only the excuse that they currently have this problem with the air conditioning . (From the state of the hotel, this excuse has been given since last summer...). The whole hotel complex is very outdated and abandoned. It is clear that in Italy 4 stars are not equal to the international standard, but a minimum of comfort is required. There were no slippers, no bathrobes, a tiny shampoo and the bed was cruelly uncomfortable. The outdoor pool belongs to another building (not the hotel) and you have to wear swim caps.... The spa facilities are from the past century.

Il cibo e eccellente. Il servicio e incredibile! No son sono Italiano quindi mia Italiano e brotto ma e una experienza molto buonissimo! The chief gave us what we wanted and came to our table many times to see how we enjoyed the food. He even gave us a dessert for free.

Albergo dalla posizione eccellente vicinissimo al centro storico di Modena in cui passeggiare e banchettare ma con i comfort di una sistemazione lontana dalla confusione e dalla folla, in primis il posto-auto. Struttura elegante, perfettamente manutenuta spazi accoglienti e gradevoli. La stanza perfetta sotto tutti gli aspetti completa di tutti i comfort. Prima colazione di grande qualità per gli alimenti serviti e personale disponibile, gentile e competente Da non perdere assolutamente

Very good stay in this modern clean hotel. Clever automatic check in for out of hours
