Ostello San Filippo Neri

The hostel was close to the train station and staff was friendly. I had expected a little more of a younger crowd and party atmosphere, due to it being a hostel, however that was not the case. Perhaps it was because the bar was closed for renovations or that it is located in a building that seems to offer some educational courses. Some guest seem to be staying longer term, perhaps attending school. All of this was a benefit since we were traveling with our three-year-old. Our room was a good size. Bathrooms where clean and semi-private, each stall seemed to be allocated to a small number of rooms. There was a large selections of books (mostly in Italian), large communal kitchen and living room downstairs.

Modena was hot, perhaps the hottest city we visited and there was no AC. We did have a standing fan and kept the windows closed during the day which helps a lot, however I may have booked somewhere else had I known.

We got a private bathroom although it is located outside of the room.
