VALVERDE HOTEL

The only thing that made stay here was the location and the price.It is a small hotel,i found it as a 2 stars on the internet but only 1 star at the entrance of the hotel,they must of lost one till i got there..:) The location it's great,10 minute walk from the center of Verona and good breakfast. But this is where all the good things stop about this hotel.The room was very small with a improvised 1mX2m bathroom made from cartoon walls on the corner of the room.If you are claustrophobic you won't stay more than a min in that bathroom.Also there was a bad draining smell.Worst bathroom I've ever been to in a hotel. The personnel was almost ok...at the reception we had one day a fat guy...very rude.For the rest of the 3 days we stayed there we didn't see him again and the rest of the stuff were ok,especially the lady that was serving the breakfast,she was very nice. The worst part was at night...our room had a main street view,so much noise that in the first night i was so tired and i barely got any sleep,plus the thin paper walls,you hear all that your neighbors are doing(or talking).To be honest i wouldn't stay there again,i would happily pay another 10E and stay at a better hotel.

Not easy to find something affordable (under 100€) in Verona, especially during Opera season. I paid 76€/night. Hotel Valverde is well located, a ten minute walk from the train station and from Piazza Bra, the center of town. It's in old building but with no character. The room (#16) is weird – it’s pretty big, has a double bed and nightstands on either side and then a whole separate little room with closet and desk – and this is where the only window is, so without the lights on the main part of the room is dark. But the lights are bright enough, the AC strong, the sheets, towels and blankets look clean and the bed is comfy. But it seriously needs a paint job and some new furnishings. No mini bar and lots of tv stations but none in English, and after the first day I couldn’t even get the TV to work at all. The bathroom is also strange – very clean, newish tile – but the toilet, bidet and shower are all in one little area – well I guess you can pee while showering if you so desire. Also the hall lights are on timers and until you hit the ‘on’ button they are very dark. No lift (but only two floors above reception.) The staff was friendly though and I think they may be renovating some of the rooms from what I could see walking past some open doors. But my room was really pretty bad.

Very basic hotel conveniently located only a 10 minute walk from the Railway Station and from the major sites of Verona , of which there are lots to see. The staff were very friendly. Breakfast was usual Itailan style cold buffett. Room was very dated, but warm on a cold February night. Biggest dissappointment was the bathromm. It was width of corridor. You had to squeeze past sink to get to wc which doubled up as shower cubicle. Initial reaction was one of horror but it reality it was OK. All right for 1 night stop but sure there are better hotels in Verona for not much more money.
