Conveniently close to the railway station and only a short walk to the centre. I had a comfortable, attractively decorated suite with a sofa in a small secondary area with a second TV and coffee/tea making facilities which was very nice for resting after lots of walking. There is also a relaxing ground floor reception area with sofas and a bar. The in-house restaurant is pleasant with unpretentious food and the staff are attentive and helpful.

By no means a minus point but I should have allowed a bit of time for working out which switches and controls operated what in which room and prevent the second TV, which had a mind of its own, turning itself back on just as you have settled under the covers…

The hotel is located opposite the main train station. Our room was small but comfortable with drawers and clothes hanging spaces with coat hangers; kettle with drinks sachets; TV, safe, fridge stocked with payable drinks and snacks; bathroom with shower and plenty of towels; air con and an opening window. Breakfast was self service cold meats, cheeses, rolls, croissants, cereals, fruits, yogurts, American pancakes with a variety of spreads - coffee, scrambled eggs and toast was ordered through the waitress. There is a bar with seating and any drinks ordered were accompanied with a variety of snacks. The hotel has some great artwork! The hotel is situated about a 10min walk from Piazza della Vittoria which is the main square by the cathedral - numerous cafes and restaurants, great for relaxing and watching Italian life and very lively at night. To finish I would say the hotel staff are friendly and very helpful - Elena, a receptionist, booked a hairdresser appointment for me; another gentleman (whose name I didn't get) recommended and booked an excellent restaurant which met all our needs and requirements (2 dogs, 2 young children, 8 adults). I would thoroughly recommend a stay at Hotel Moderno.

Our room was on the small side but as we were not in it much it didn't really matter to us.

This is a beautiful hotel right by the station in Pavia - the staff are so kind and friendly - we had a very early train and they opened the breakfast room for us at 5.15am and even offered to cook scrambled eggs for us - I have never been offered more than a soggy sandwich and water when leaving too early for breakfast before. There is a cozy bar area and sweets in the lobby.The rooms are lovely and the lift showers wifi are all great. We had a wonderful few days there.

Everything was brilliant

Very kind and flexible staff, with very good English. You can pre-book parking place, which is very close.

No hall door, so no door between the bed and the corridor door – there was but they dismounted; although it would be very useful to isolate noises. The hotel overlooks the railway and bus station. So creepy faces around the hotel; they are harmless, but not a good feeling. No tea making facility in the room. Pavia is not a very tourist friendly city: receptionist recommended 3 cocktail bars – 2 of them was close at (Sunday) 10 p.m. Both were open next day 10 a.m. The restaurant which the receptionist recommended is a cellar. But it is almost fine dining. But without English language menu. After we asked, they were not kind anymore.

The hotel was ok. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. Additionally, the hotel provided breakfast, which was a nice touch. There were several options available, and I appreciated the effort put into providing a range of choices. The location was good, close to all the good restaurants.

The only downside was that the facility is a little bit old. The furniture was a bit dated and the pressure in the shower is a bit worn. The window curtain in the bathroom didn't close completely so at night it wasn't difficuls to see me walking around naked after a shower as the bathroom was facing the street.

the staff were excellent. the location was central to the sights and restaurants. a well maintained hotel and we would stay there again. the bed was very comfortable. better than most hotels we have stayed in Italy which are normally too firm. the staff gave us excellent restaurant recommendations. Osteria Madonna is great and Lino was one of the best Michelin 1 star restaurant we have ever ate at. Both recommended by the staff.

the shower was very small and there was no place to put soaps and shampoos etc... in the shower. the onsite restaurant was closed and awaiting a new chef.

The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and offered a stunning view of the station. I was pleasantly surprised by the modern decor and comfortable bed in our room, making our stay incredibly relaxing. The room amenities exceeded our expectations, with a luxurious bathroom and a cosy seating area."

Our stay was absolutely fantastic, and with just a bit faster Wi-Fi, it would be perfect.

The hotel’s location was perfect, within walking distance of all the major attractions and great restaurants. Being situated right in the heart of downtown, the hotel's location made it easy for us to explore the city. The hotel is ideally located, offering convenient access to public transportation and popular tourist spots."

Pretty Much nothing It was perfect!

The style of this hotel is "Art deco" is very cute Staff is always ready to help if needed A pity, their restaurant is now close

We have a little dog (Cat size). It is said on Booking that it is possible to take the dog in the hotel. So we made the revervation and paid the full rate (not refundable). We then asked for the dog. And we discovered the Hotel was charging € 30 (Which we found rather excessive). Why not annoucing the rate on the site ?

Very friendly staff, close to railway station, big bed. Otherwise uneventful. Clean.

The wifi was weak. I couldn't work in my room. On a business trip, this would be essential. I didn't figure out how to turn on the hand shower (instead of the rain shower), so I got a splash of ice-cold water first until the hot water arrived.
