B&B Hotel Verona (Verona, Italy)

Many guests have been impressed by the hotel's interiors. As well as being sleek and contemporary, the public areas here are about as clean and tidy as they come. Strikingly impressive.

Unfussy yet pleasant, comfy yet contemporary; the guest rooms in this hotel strike just the right balance between function and style. The lovely black-and-white pictures of Verona landmarks adorning the walls are a lovely touch too.

The team at the B&B Hotel Verona do a good job of making their roles look easy. Always calm and consistently cordial, the guys and gals here have a knack of making you feel truly welcome as soon as you walk through the door.

It's fair to say that this hotel is a little bit out of the way, and it doesn't help that the buses into town stop running after dark. If you're travelling without a car then chances are you'll have to include a few taxi rides in your budget.

When you think of Verona you invariably conjure up images of medieval buildings, romantic balconies and Roman amphitheatres. Sadly, you'll not find any of those aspects here; this part of the city - replete with its motorway views - could most accurately be described as ‘industrial.'

Unsurprisingly, the industrial nature of this district means there are hardly any restaurants, cafes or bars located close by. This, compounded with the fact the hotel only serves breakfast means your options for dining and drinking are very limited indeed.
