What guests say
9.1 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 417 guest reviews
Modern Hotel earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment, with guests consistently highlighting the warm, attentive staff, spotless rooms, and impressive bathrooms as standout strengths. The central downtown location and complimentary breakfast — particularly the fresh-squeezed orange juice and frittata — are widely appreciated, though a handful of guests found the breakfast selection limited and some rooms suffered from noise issues (street traffic or kitchen equipment). Overall, it is considered excellent value for money with only minor, manageable drawbacks.
