Hotel Moderno

Very good hotel located just in front of main train station in Pavia, very practical location if you travel by train. Just 10 minutes on foot to historical city centre. Nice, helpful staff; clean, comfy room, beds and bathroom, and excellent buffet restaurant. Reasonable price. Great option if you want to stay overnigth in Pavia to visit the historical city centre and (don't miss it) the beautiful, impressive Certosa, a must in Lombardia, just 20 km north from Pavia.

There isn’t a huge offer of quality hotels in Pavia & 4 Star Hotel Moderno looked to be the best option for our large groups’ needs. It served our purposes very well, being just a short (25 minute) drive to the Castelletto Racetrack where we were competing. It is also perfectly positioned for the train station which is immediately opposite. Staff were wonderful, always really helpful & friendly, in addition to being very amenable to late check out. Much appreciated, thank you. Communal areas are pleasant enough, but unlikely to win any style awards & our twin room was basic, worn & dated. It did the job though & its good points included decent WiFi, Trussardi bathroom products & a very powerful shower. Being rear facing, it was also peaceful. Others in our group, many of them regulars of the hotel, reported having much better, renovated bedrooms, so it’s worth insisting on these. Breakfast was a pleasant, table served cold plate of bread, cheese etc with hot dishes available to order. The Peo Restaurant, attached but independently run, was again not a beacon of high style, but food was very good & service outstanding. To conclude, the accommodation is nothing flash, though it is decent value, but The Moderno won us over because of its wonderful staff, & handy location. We would definitely return, but I would request a renovated room.

This must be one of the friendliest hotels on the planet. A warm welcome, easygoing, excellent and friendly staff. They also welcomed our bikes and washed clothes for us. The rooms were spotless and the breakfast first class . Nice and central too.

I stayed here multiple times in the early 1990’s for business. The best that can be said is that the staff are nice. Old design, apparently not upgraded much over the past 27 years. Beds not very comfortable, noisy, poor temperature control, bare bones design. Depressing to stay there more than one or two nights. Find another place.
