Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Modena Old Town is praised for its prime location in Malcesine, putting guests near the main bus station, ferry port, and a wide array of restaurants, with some noting the best gelato is right outside. Many appreciate the well-equipped rooms featuring double-glazed windows, air conditioning, and ceiling fans, with extra pillows available. The continental breakfast is generally considered ample, even though some found it basic. While the complimentary parking is a bit of a walk (15 minutes), guests appreciate that it's available, as is the paid parking option closer to the property.

convenient locationfree parkingtemperature limitguest discomfort

the location was definitely convenient. free parking was available, though it was a bit of a walk.

The air conditioning was a real issue. It seemed centrally controlled with a minimum temperature limit. this made sleeping quite difficult, as i couldn't adjust the temperature to a comfortable level, twice. it seemed like cost-cutting at the expense of guest comfort.
