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.

DO NOT STAY HERE! The hotel is not as advertised. Dated is an understatement! Our bed was dated over 40 years ago! It is in need of major upkeep, especially for how much they are charging for a night's stay. Walls seemed dirty liked something was spilled on them. Bed is HARD, air conditioner barely worked even when maxed out, cracks everywhere, mold in bathroom, sheets are rough and scratchy, smells like cigarette smoke even though advertised as non-smoking. I think I've slept better in a sleeping bag at a campground. As an asthmatic mold, mildew and smoke are things that I cannot live with. Elevator will fit 2 people at a time if you're lucky. Staff is extremely rude and cussed us out in Italian after we raised issues. I know Spanish, and the languages are similar! I've seen other reviews that mention how wonderdul the breakfast is, but only thing wonderful was it had hot coffee. Save your money and just make a day trip to Modena or stay somewhere else. Plenty of options close to old town if you don’t want a traditional hotel room.

The bedroom looked old fashioned and could do with minor decorating. The shower was miniscule, but it was clean and comfortable. It was quiet at night and very convenient for visiting the old town. Breakfast was amazing, best hotel breakfast i have had for many years; huge choice of fruit juices and fresh orange juice to make yourself. Good choice of fresh fruit and meat and cheese. Machine coffee wasn’t great and no decaf. However good selection of teas.

)K, the only thing we really enjoyed at the Estense was the breakfast. When we arrived, we were given rooms on the fourth floor that smelled of smoke. The rugs were very dirty and laundry area doors were left open. We complained and were given new rooms on the lst floor which were much cleaner. Antonio greeted us but seemed to have little interest in making us feel welcome. The hotels Expedia rating is a 3 but I would give them a 1.

The staff were very friendly and the location is very close to the old downtown area where you can find the beautiful cathedral and lots of great places to eat. Watch your arrival time - we came in on a train from Rome on a Monday, and after checking in around 2:30, it was difficult to find a place open for a late lunch.
