Hotel Cervetta 5

This was our second visit to this charming small hotel in the heart of old Modena. Since our last visit, rather a few years ago, the style has changed to fashionable shabby chic. Not really our style, but all beautifully done with everything of the highest quality. Really great bed and bedding - so comfortable. And such a large room too, with every conceivable facility. Nothing is too much trouble for the lovely staff who are on duty 24 hours. The garaging is brilliant and we were frequently in and out to get things from the car, which was no trouble at all Last time we discovered that satnav does not always work that well in the narrow streets, and guests’ permission to drive in the centre of the city is limited to just one route. The hotel now give very clear instructions for entrance and exit, which was a great help. Can more than recommend staying here if visiting lively Modena. There are, too, many good restaurants very close by - just a few steps away in some cases.

We came in and could hardly breathe because of the strong incense smell. For a moment I just wanted to leave. But staff was very welcoming and we continued the check in process. Then we were told there is no elevator and we were two levels up. They offered to take up our bags. We had to take them up on it. The room was clean with a minimalist decor. The bathroom had no place for the toilet paper roll. We had to use the bidet to put the toilet paper. Interesting place place, centrally located. But not for senior travelers.

A great hotel in the old town of Modena, an excellent location to wander around the city. Atmosphere of the hotel is very nice, quality of the rooms very good for only 3 stars, and decoration of rooms very nice. Excellent response in booking, easy check-in.

Perfectly located in the center of Modena and with a secure parking next door (which is a luxury in town). Very cozy and super clean small hotel. Beds and linen are of good quality. The receptionist was very helpful and friendly. They provided detailed information on how to reach the hotel as there were some road works in the town center. The hotel was recently renovated and they chose a minimalistic decoration which we appreciate. As we use to say…. “Sometimes less is more” It totally deserves 4 ⭐️. The only hiccup was the shower which didn’t have enough pressure. Otherwise everything was okay and we had a good sleep. We were lucky not to have noisy neighbors during the night; the walls are not soundproof.

Absolutely the best location for access to the old city, restaurants, tourist attractions & information; around the corner is a market with top rated food stalls and wine bars with quite affordable prices. .Parking next store for 15e, a perk for those driving. Clean, comfortable rooms, accommodating maid service and friendly , accommodating desk staff. Breakfast for 10e; optional. Coffee and teas at front desk available 24/7 w/o fee. Internet access, good-not great. Downside ~ no elevator; however, staff always offering to help trek up & down with luggage. Definitely we would stay again for work or leisure.
