“Higly recommended!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011

OK, FH was one of the hotels during our 14 days stay in Sicily. We liked it so much and it is on our Top 3 list. Design hotel on the old 'Binario 4' in Modica where you will be offered a 'cioccolata di Modica', very good breakfast (excellent restaurant - minimalistic design of the restaurant with the old locomotive dominating the room, reminding you how it was before...), spacy rooms, electric bikes for hotel guests etc. By the way, let me say after 7 days it is not easy to go through the day after tipical Italian breakfast (you know, sugar+sugar+sugar+su...). I mean, we adore Italy and the lifestyle, especially cuisine, but we started to miss things like eggs and prosciutto which are more exception than standard in most of the hotels. In FH it is standard (they even serve almond milk which is deliciouuuus).
I am telling you, you will like it. The reason more - FH is completely different than the accomdation you would expect at the old 'binario' (platform).

“Terrible service”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2011

We booked a superior room, but got a standard room. When we complained about this, we where told that the standard room was "upgraded" to a superior du to an extra chair in the room.
Unfortunately this did not match the description found on the hotel webpage.
Staff was lacking English skills, and not willing to find a solution to our problem.
Unfortunately we had such a bad experience with this hotel, so we decided to check out the day we arrived.

The room had a foul smell of sewage. Cleaning was lacking in the bathroom, where hair could be found on the floor and in the shower, where edges also was foul of lime and dirt.

The hotel is relatively new and with a central location next to the train station, but quite a walk from the centre of Modica, especially on a hot day.
Free WiFi only works in the lobby area. Parking is free outside the hotel.

Room Tip: A standard room offers same comfort as a superior room.

Dear Guest,

we are truly sorry for not being able to provide a quality service.

But we must point out that we have two types of Superior rooms: a room type with special furniture and other, the one assigned to You, larger than six square meters and with a large picture window in the bathroom.

It had never happened an error of inattention, as you can see from the many previous comments, and for this we apologize again.

FerroHotel is the renovation of a "white elephant", an abandoned building for years, which made the environment much more ugly.

Many guests, for this, to have upgraded the environment, we appreciate every day.

We hope you will accept our apologies, best regards

the hotel manager

“A surprise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 June 2011

Two years ago we discovered the FerroHotel which is situated near the seldom used train station. We were pleasantly surprised. The hotel is modern designed, comfortable and quiet. A very good breakfast and a helpfull and friendly staff did help us to spend a nice stay at Modica.

“Well designed, slightly quirky hotel in handy quiet location.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2011

Hotel has a modern design located next to a disused platform of Modica railway station. No need to be alarmed by location as it is particularly quiet. I think all rooms are the same. Beds were extremely comfortable and rooms had lovely bathrooms and showers. Full satellite TV available. Good breakfast.
There was free high speed internet but staff did not seem to know how to get you signed on.
