Donatello isn't fashionable by any standard - the whole interior feels to have been the same from 70s/early 80s - but apart from that, the hotel provides a completely ok stay at a very affordable price. The location is good, it takes about 10 mins by walking to the city centre and the staff is friendly as well. So I... More

Although this hotel had all the amenities of a 3* hotel it looked like it had not been decorated for 100 years! The rooms smelled of smoke and was above a possibly disused mens club. Having said this, the price was very cheap and for one night it was ok, although if we had planned to stay for any longer... More

I have travelled to quite a few places in my time but, the first time that the people in charge of the hotel acted like friends and could not do more for you. 2k.m. from centre of town but bus stop near-by and just 1euro into town.

The first room we got had 3 single beds in it and smelt so musty... More

We've stayed at Donatello hotel for a couple of weeks now and are very happy with the service and hotel personnel. City center is just a 10 minute walk, restaurants are nearby. Swift connection to the tangentiale also. When you visit Modena for business or leisure and you're looking for a good price/quality hotel, then don't forget to checkout Donatello.
