Hotel Accademia - Verona

Wow! One of the finest hotels we have ever stayed in. The location in Verona is perfect: we took the bus from the airport then walked the rest of the way along beautiful Via Mazzini. The front desk staff were courteous, helpful, and cheerful, with excellent skills in multiple languages. The room was spacious and beautifully appointed with interesting furniture and lots of storage space. Special thanks to Neel, the night-man at the desk: he organized our wakeup call, our very early taxi to the airport, and a picnic breakfast for us. We cannot imagine staying anywhere else in all of Italy. The decor throughout the hotel is stunning: funky meets old world charm.

We arrived very late and stressed due to a flight delay and the lovely calm hotel was a perfect oasis to begin our holiday. Perfect!

This is a very nice hotel. The service is friendly and excellent. The breakfasts finitely above the norm - big room, nice assortment of food and like everything else in the hotel, friendly service. Hotel is located haflfway between the piazza bra (arena) and the piazza erbe, so the location could not be better, right off the via Mazzini, which ois the main shopping drag. Only downer is the garage, which is two blocks away. So, you have to walk there and drive back with a hotel staff person to park, which is, in the scheme of things, a minor annyance. This is a very nice hotel,

It is a very nice hotel in a beuatiful area. Not cheep, but just worth it's price. Clean, friendly - perfect.

Beautiful hotel; excellent location. Easy walking distance to all areas one would like to see during a stay in Verona. Staff were exceptional and anticipated every need, very polished and professional. Would highly recommend a stay at this hotel.

SUPERBE HOTEL

Great place to stay!!!!

Staff very competent and helpful. Very beautiful hotel, near the arena. Assistance at the entrance of the breakfast room would be welcome.

Our stay at The Accademia was excellent value for money. A small well appointed Italian hotel which lived up to all expectations. Probably the best four star hotel we've ever stayed in.

A truly wonderful hotel, perfectly located for the arena. The room, service, cleanliness, etc., were second to none. The restaurant was particularly good and excellent value for money. My friends and I dined in the hotel both nights as we couldn't fault it. I have stayed in Verona on two other occasions, the last time in a 5* hotel but it did not compare to the Accademia.

Very comfortable hotel, competent staff, quiet rooms despite the central location. Good for families - we had two adjacent rooms with connecting door. Sofa-bed in triple room not particularly comfortable, but OK for a few nights. Breakfast buffet excellent with wide choice. A lovely hotel in a great location. We plan to return.

Excellent location, attentive staff, large comfortable room, large comfortable public areas. I have had some less than pleasant experience with Italian hotels. This one was very pleasant.

Love this hotel, this was our 3rd stay, and we'll DEFINATELY be back!!!!

We stayed for 2 nights. Location is outstanding, close to all main monuments. The room and bathroom were very comfortable, service and breakfeast was excellent. I would highly recomend this hotel both for leisure or business travel

It is definitely a place where to stay.

The hotel is perfectly located in the city centre. It is nice and clean, with spacious rooms and competent staff. Only small disappointment was the quality of breakfast not really consistent with such a nice hotel.

Unbeatable location, nice public areas but the room was pretty ordinary for the price. I would recommend for location but not for value.

Very nice well situated hotel in heart of Verona. Two steps from Arena and best osterias. A must-see: Verona by night. Just walk after 2 a.m. in the night around the hotel - no people and old buildings.

Our room was ready for us on arrival, even though we were quite early, so we were able to unpack before going out for lunch. We chose the hotel for its proximity to the arena, and the short stroll there and back (with ice cream after the opera!) was perfect. Well placed for evrything you could wish to do in Verona. The staff helped us with directions to restaurants, advice on carparking, provided stamps and posted cards for us. The complimentary iced juices at tea time were particularly welcome in the heat of late August. A wonderful hotel - we will definitely use it again.

We were there for the opera festival and the central location of the hotel could not have been any better. Great value for money given the price we got from Venere. Only thing slightly lacking was a view from our room (brick wall) but the size of the room, recently renovated bathroom and great breakfast selection more than made up for it. Free wireless access also a bonus.

Beautiful hotel adjacent to the main shopping street and between the two main squares in Verona. Could not be a better location

Les prix d'été permettent de profiter d'unexcellent niveau de qaulité à un prix trés raisonnable .

A wonderful hotel, everything perfect. breakfast could set you up for the whole day, free welcoming drinks on arrival, not excessive charges for bar and mini-bar. Staff excellent Will be back

Accademia is a lovely hotel right in the hearth of Verona (2 minutes walk from the Arena, Piazza D'Erbe and Juliet's house). Rooms and public areas are spacious and comfortable with the possible exception of the breakfest room which is a little jaded. Had a couple of lovely meals in Piazza dei Signori( right beside Piazza D'Erbe but quiter and more relaxed)

Really beautiful room/Suite. Unfortunately without windows except the rooflights.

Good hotel, good staff, very good location, expensive parking. I can reccomend it.

Some of the best place in Verona.

Our first morning we slept late and didnt wake up until 10:30 so we missed breakfast which was included in our room rate. We called downstairs and asked if they could send us up a cup of coffee. When we checked out they were charging us for a room service breakfast. I argued with them about the charge because the cost of breakfast was in our room rate so they only charged us 8 euro for delivery of the coffee. That amounted to almost $12 US for delivery of coffee. I feel that is very wrong and would not stay in that hotel again for that very reason.

It was an excellant service. A really big room. The hotel is located in the middle of the old town.

We celebrated our wedding aniversary at the Accademia, so the hotel gave us a bottle of wine in an ice bucket marked Ferrari on arrival, staff were very welcoming and helpful, breakfast choice was great, room superb - with view. Excellent, our stay at the Accademia made our trip - shall return when next in Verona!

During our five weeks in Europe, this was the best hotel based on value and overall experience. Staff was superb.

A great central location in beautiful Verona and a great hotel overall. Lots of (italian speaking) staff. Really good breakfast buffet! Certain amount of noise, doors slamming and some noisy staff early in the morning, but overall recommended. The only problem was the collapse of the pound sterling against the Euro which meant it cost more and was not as good value as a result.

Perfect location, five star public areas.

I always stay at the Accademia when in Verona. For me it is the only place to stay.

Only just got time to comment on this one today. This hotel is brilliant! huge room with lots of amenities. Fantastic location. We couldn't believe our eyes when we got there. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Damn good reason to go back to Verona. Just awesome.

This was as close to a Perfect Hotel as one could hope to find. There was no detail that needed improvement, and many subtle ones -- from the warmth of the staff to the choice of colors, lighting, etc. -- that made us feel pampered from the time we entered. We cannot imagine a better base from which to explore a lovely city.

Very nice hotel, classical atmosphere, optimal position just in the city centre. Efficient personnel, spacious room (we probably had a superior room for the price of the standard), rich breakfast buffet.

Our stay in Verona was to hear our friend, GianLuca Terranova, sing the part of the Duke of Mantua in the opera 'Rigoletto' at the Arena di Verona on August 20th. He was magnificent! I stayed in a double room for single use.

Lovely hotel in great location. Easy walk to all the sights of Verona. Arrived early morning after travelling and were pleased to gain access to a room immediately. Breakfast was very nice above the average quality and glad to see they catered for special dietary needs.

Hotel location is perfect, center of main shopping area. Staff were nice and helpful. However, I was unlucky with a room given to me. It was located somewhere on the 2nd floor in a very far end of a long corridor. It looked inside an internal court, which was tedious and not quite clean. And a smell in the room was not nice. I was there for one night only, so I could stand it.

Nice hotel with friendly staff that I would recommend highly for mature couples or singles. We were given a loft suite, which was a surprise. The room was very nice, but not your ordinary hotel room (see photos). The only issue was the number of stairs we had to climb after getting off the elevator. If you have any problem with stairs ask for an appropriate room. Our view was into building next door, which didn't bother us. If you are driving, there is a public lot in the block prior to the hotel. However it was full when we arrived. We just pulled our car up onto the sidewalk in front of the hotel (a common practice on narrow streets) and let the hotel park it for us. The fee was worth it, not knowing the area.

The best place to stay in Verona.Just 20 mtres. to Maccini Street.We´ve been in a wonderful suite and we play a regular room.

Room was very small. Room was overpriced for the level of space.

We've been in Venice a good number of times, in different hotels. Definitively this hotel is among ours preferred. Only if you were considering to stay in one of the very luxurious (and very expensive, too)hotels in Venice, A La Accademia is not your choice. Otherwise, it will fulfil your expectations

Excelent Suite: very quiet and very big. Very good situation. Breakfast and facilities good (work in progress at the dinnig room, and the we were in a smaller one).

We love this Hotel and this was our third visit but it badly needs tea and coffee making facilities in the room as it doesn't offer room service.

Wir hatten eine Suite: Sehr grosszügig, schön ausgestattet, ruhige Lage, guter Service, zentrale Lage in der Altstadt.

A sudden change in our travel plans brought us to Verona. We made last minute reservations at Accademia, and it turned out to be the best hotel of our entire trip. We were upgraded to a HUGE room -- luxurious doesn't start to describe it. The hotel is in a perfect location, just off Via Giuseppe Mazzini midway between Piazza Bra and Piazza Vivianni. It is an extremely quiet area, and double pane windows made our room totally quiet. The reception area is large, with several different very nice sitting areas. The breakfast was the best of our entire trip, with a huge selection and top quality. Based on a Venere review from another traveler, we dined at Enoteca Segreta (www.enotecasegreta.com), which is just around the corner from Accademia (though the hotel staff had never heard of it). The food was fabulous.

The room, public areas, service, and location were all excellent. Very close to the arena and all historic sites of interest.

I think I was attracted to the fact that we are very close to everything and we had a very quiet room, away from the main street. It was our first stop and it has already outruled the other hotels during the rest of our trip. The staff there was very helpful and we could be assured that our request is carried out in timely manner.

This is a great place to stay in Verona. The location is perfect and everything is in easy walking distance. The staff was super nice and we got an upgraded room which was fantastic. It was huge, the beds were very comfortable, the bathroom was very nice, and the air-conditioning worked perfectly (which for us was important). Our daughter stayed in a single room which was an adequate size. The breakfast room was a little overcrowded and the tables too close together. The waiters were not especially friendly, although all they had to do was to bring the coffee. The buffet was good and had a nice selection. We had dinner at the hotel one night and it was excellent. The juices and cookies in the lobby area are a nice touch. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much and recommend this hotel.

My wife and I are young and athletic, so it is entirely possible our room was provided based on that visual observation - we took the elevator up to the 2nd floor, then down two long hallways which included two sets of stairs. Once we reached our room and opened the door, behind the door we found a staircase that lead up to an "attic" like space above. What we were greeted by when we got to the top of the stairs was fantastic - a very large wood beamed space with a bedroom, living room, sitting room, large bathroom and "common area. Though the hike might not be the best for everyone, we could not have been more pleased with the accomodations. - Spacious, very private and quiet with a very inviting tub in the ultra-clean bathroom. The bar at the hotel was a little dated, but with old Verona out the front door, we didn't need to stop there. Breakfast was perfect - just about anything you could think of, and the staff were quite friendly. This hotel, along with the dinner we had our first night, really set the tone for a marvelous time in Verona. While out in search of dinner, we stumbled across the Enoteca Segreta. Way in the back of a small wine-store front, and down almost in the basement was this fantastic little wine bar with a wonderful menu of accompanying foods. At first, we weren't quite sure they were offering more than just wine, and we are glad we took the time to ask for a menu. Everything that was delivered to our table - from soups to pastas to desserts - was obviously home-made, fresh and well paired with suggested local wines. The couple working there (presumably husband and wife) could not have been more accomodating and the food and wine could not have been better. - I would go out of may way to eat here again...suggest you do too. http://www.enotecasegreta.com

I would recommend this hotel. The staff was AWESOME and always available to assit with any question or concern. My room was clean and comfortable not to mention beautiful. I have traveled often through Italy and Europe and I would recommend the Hotel Accademia to most particular traveller. The hotel, infact, was recommended to me by a friend who has a shop in the US that sells Italian mercandise. She stays there when going on buying trips. I had a delightful time during my visit to Verona because I stayed at the Hotel Accademia.

My only comment to the hotel is that their web page should either redirect booking inquiries to venere or make clear that filling out the booking form on the hotel web site does not perform any booking function...trying to book through the accademia web site was very frustrating....also we really enjoyed the hotel's restaurant, and morning breakfast buffet.

Very nice locatio and room was splendid, but it is very difficuto to book during summer and price is expensive.

Very well appointed, comfortable hotel right in the centre of the town but also quiet inside. Driving to the hotel was a bit of a nightmare - many narrow streets and one way system made it difficult but on arrival, the hotel took care of the car and parked it for me.

We stayed one night and Hotel Accademia was perfect to stay and go around the see the city. We had a pleasant stay.

We had a wonderful time on this centrally located hotel. We would have liked to have been able to access the internet but there was no guest facility for this. There is of course free access in your room via ethernet but no one had a laptop due to the new flight restrictions. A great stay! PKJ

Great accomodation, excellent service by extraordinary friendly staff. We also enjoyed a very good dinner at the hotel's restaurant. Would never go anywhere else in Verona!

Lovely hotel. Would certainly stay again. Excellent food and service. Surprised that "tea and coffee facilities" were advertised on the website, but not found in the room. Not a problem, but might annoy.

I have been three times at Verona. The welcome was really poor (unfriendly and cold). Only one person at the reception was friendly. The room care person was very good! And the break fast was very good too. What made me angry: they did not deliever me, that my husband called me twice!!

The hotel was in a perfect location . the rooms were very spacious and nicly presented. The breakfast was delicious. We were dissappointed that the staff of the hotel lacked personality .the staff were not very welcomeing , they just did there job. I felt for the money we were paying a friendly smile would have being nice. other than that we had a pleasant stay.

An excellent hotel with friendly staff and good service. An ideal location to explore Verona.

Modern hotel with a great location between Piazza Bra and Piazza Erbe. Best breakfast we had while in Italy. Good shopping all around hotel. Would definitely stay there again. Loved Verona.

This was a lovely hotel in the heart of Verona with excellent front of house staff. we were upgraded to suites without any fuss, and will definitely return

Good hotel. Was satisfied. Except breakfast.

We had an excellent experience at the Accademia. The staff is very efficient and friendly. Our room was huge. The bathroom was spacious and included a large walk-in shower. The hotel location is ideal for exploring the old city. If you're traveling by car, the hotel staff will valet park it for you - which is a plus since there is little parking in the old city and the streets are hard to navigate. Amazingly, the hotel rate for parking was less expensive than the rates we found at parking lots outside of the old city.

The room was quiet,but a little bit to dark.The staff was very friendly

Enjoyed Verona for 4 days while staying at the Accademia. The very professional staff always greeted us kindly as we came in and out of the hotel. Great location right off of the elegant Via Mazzini. The breakfast hall was immaculate with beautiful murals of Verona and crisp white linens. The selection of foods was very appealing. We were very pleased with our stay and would definately visit again.

This hotel is really excellent . Service is great. Location is fantastic. Breakfast is very good. Congratulations.

Great location in the center of the historic area, convenient to sites, shopping & good restaurants. nice room, good bathroom. only negative - pillows as hard as a futon mattress - i should have requested a soft pillow. good shutters to block light, but if you like to have the windows open, there is light & noise from the nearby main shopping street.

I spent one nigth with my wife. The hotel is very good, everything was ok.

The Accademia was an excellent choice from all aspects: location (close to the Arena), style of rooms (sober elegance), breakfast (quality, quantity, variety) and competence of personnel (information provided). Although the rate was quite high, you don´t feel ripped off. I strongly recommend this hotel and would go back myself with great pleasure. The reviews of other travellers on the site were accurate and helped me a lot choose this hotel.

This was the first time that I used the internet to book hotel rooms in Europe and I was very impressed and very pleased with the information that I recieved and with the results of my bookings. I don't think that it could have been better. I would definitely use Venere again and I will recommend it to my friends.

Wonderful location. A little difficult with a car but the valet service was satisfactory. Breakfast was good but the service could have been a little better. Overall, a nice hotel.

Lovely hotel, great location,rooms clean & well presented, majority of staff friendly and very helpful. Breakfast average, hot items (eggs, bacon etc.) extra. However, the Accademia restaurant for an evening meal was very good,but not cheap. Overall great stay, would go again.

This hotel is very hard to find by car, but once we did we were delighted with the room, service, and location. It's exactly in the right position for touring old Verona, shopping, and good dining.

The Accademia is perfectly located in Verona. It's a historic building but all sense of history has been expunged from the interior. Breakfast room is very unattractive.

Front desk has not the willingness to help with simple requisits. They have access to internet but do not have the simple sofware like words or excel and unable to answer questions about where to find something in town.

A perfect base to enjoy Verona-Arena and the Opera and historical centre.Very lovely hotel, can't fault a thing.Would love to go back!

Everything you could want from a quality hotel. Great location, spacious rooms, good breakfast selection, air-conditioning.

Excellent location and very high standards both in the public areas and the room. The staff were very helpful. It was a peaceful haven after the busy streets alongside. Super.

Fantastic hotel in what must be one of the best locations for the sights and shops. The porters were really helpful and the coffee shop next to the entrance is well worth a visit .Highly recommended.

Best of three four star facilities we have stay in in Verona! Room we choose was above the busy main street and a therefore a little noisy but manageable even with the windows open. Spacious room with seperate enty dressing area. Breakfast was superb!

After staying in many older Italian hotels the bathroom was heaven. Very spacious with double sinks and a full tub with shower. Continental breakfast also was good with a selection of cold meats and cheeses and a large selection of cereals and sweet rolls. Would definitely recommend this hotel. The location was good, within easy walking distance to all Old town sights and boutique shopping.

A wonderful hotel in a great location. The staff were very friendly and competent, our requests were immediately seen to. Special compliments for the breakfast bar, which even offered glutenfree and lactosefree products.

Very comfortable traditional city centre hotel. Our 'double superior' room was a suite with a separate sitting room and large marble bathroom, and windows opening onto a central well (so no noise). Good modernish solid furniture, slightly suspect colour scheme. Very clean (passed the 'looking under the bed to check we haven't left anything behind' test - a lot don't!).Ideally placed for the sights, and just far enough off the Via Mazzini to avoid the hubbub. Restaurant was closed for Easter when we were there but the three restaurants the hote recommended: the Greppia, Il Cenacolo, and the Bottega del Vino were excellent. Padua only an hour away by train and worth a visit though book for the Scrivegni chapel in advance.

Outstanding hotel. Central. Rooms very spacious and clean. Staff warm and accomodating. Would stay there again and recommend to all. 4 star + hotel

Amazing... Superbe! Vraiment impressionné par la chambre ( pourtant ce n'est pas le premier hotel que je fréquente ). Je recommande!!! Incredible room! Right in the middle of Verona. Nothing tainted our stay.

Molto professionali ma poco propensi a risolvere le problematiche dei clienti

This was our first visit to Verona, and as it was a present for my wife on her birthday, I wanted everything to be just right! From my first email dealings with the team on reception, booking the Opera, to our last with the porter putting our bags into the car to go back to the airport, the service was first class - nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is ideal for sight-seeing, and it was great to be able to drive right up outside the front door, hand the keys of the hire car to reception and leave them to park it in their garage. Verona is fantastic, and so is this hotel and it's location. We have told all our friends to stay there and we will be going back again. Just make certain that you eat at the 'Ristorante 12 Apostoli' when in Verona - it's only 5 minutes walk from the hotel and it is superb - the hotel even booked our table for us!

What a perfect way to enjoy Verona. Quite pricey, but good value given location and quality of the room. We treated ourselves by staying here, and are glad we did!

Good hotel. Friendly staff. Good location for sight seing.　I stayed with my wife, and will definitely come back if we have chance to visit Verona again.

Ottimo albergo, praticamente sulla via principale di Verona. Ottima la camera. Parcheggio privato. Ottimo il servizio.

L'hotel Accademia est trés bien situé. Bien qu'il soit en plein centre ville, il est trés calme. Le personnel est trés serviable. Les chambres sont trés confortables. Bon et beau buffet du petit déjeuner. Etablissement à recommander.

We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The room was beautiful and had a wonderful view of the street below. There was some street noise in the room, but it was fine for us being in the heart of the city. The location of the hotel is great. We really enjoyed the breakfast buffet, it was huge! We will definately come back.

The Hotel Accademia lived up to Venere's representation in every way. The staff was most accommodating and gracious, the room was quite comfortable and the location could not have been more desirable. Our only regret was that we didn't stay longer.

We were delighted with our choice of hotel at the accademia. It was a key aspect of the enjoyable stay in Verona. It was our first time in the city and arriving at the Accademia proved to be an excellent start. The central location and welcome we received created an immediate immpression that we were going to enjoy ourselves. We were pleasantly surprised by the space and the decor of our room. The public rooms on the ground floor are comfortable and relaxing, there is a friendly bar and the restaurant is excellent. On the day that the restaurant was shut the reception staff recommeded another excellent restaurant to us. It was so good that we went back before we left. We would gladly re-book at the Accademia.

A very comfortable hotel, right in the middle of the centro storico. Helpful and friendly staff and spacious rooms.

I can only recommend the hotel
