Hotel Bologna - Verona

8.8

We enjoyed our stay and the location of the hotel --right off a major plaza with restaurants and shopping. The hotel was quiet but there was outside noise due to the location. That was not a negative for us, however, as there was a concert in the coliseum that we enjoyed all evening long.

4.2

The decor is very out of date, the room I stayed in had little natural light, the carpet was dark blue and the curtains peach. The furniture is old. I felt depressed as soon as I entered. The management desperately need to carry out some re-furbishment and modernisation. The only good thing is its location, it's right in the heart of Verona.

9.6

The perfect base to explore the wonders of Verona. We'll definitely be back!

8.1

You just can't beat the location. You literally walk out the front door and you are at the Arena. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The room was a little snug but certainly not any worse than the other rooms available in Verona. I would definitely stay there again.

6.6

Tiny room, but located a few meters from the Arena. Good value for a short stay.

8.3

Beware. On arrival, checked in and handed over car keys for garage parking as booked, having parked the car as indicated by receptionist. 10 minutes or more later police are trying to tow car away because it has not been moved to garage. Euro78 fine to pay and Euro45 for release of car. After discussions hotel director agreed to pay the fines because of hotel staff errors. After that all was fine until leaving for airport. Arranged for car to be brought round to leave at noon. Told to be ready with cases to load and leave immediately. At 11.50 we were ready but car did not arrive at noon - same receptionist only sent for it at 1155 and two other cars were brought before ours finally arrived at 12.25! Otherwise all was fine with good breakfast choice, super location and good accomodation.

7.6

Reisestopp für eine Nacht vor Weiterfahrt nach Genua. Ideale Lage neben Arena (Stadtzentrum. Ideal mit dem Auto erreichbar, welches abgeholt und bei Abreise wieder gebracht wurde. Kostenpunkt leider € 17,- pro Tag.

will definitely recommend this place and would stay there again if in Verona.

9.4

Excellent location. Rooms a bit small. Excellent staff.

9.3

9.1

Very pleasant hotel very close to shopping and historic city center.

9.7

Verona is one of the best Italian cities to visit and if you want to stay in the center of town the Bologna is a GREAT option. This hotel is just around the Corner for Piazza Bra and the impressive Roman Amphitheater. I have stayed multiple times here and will again.

7.1

Very helpful staff who gave us capaccino and pastry 5 am while they call us a taxi to the Verona airport for our early morning flight. We truely appreaciated that

8.3

This hotel is in a great central location close to the Piazza Bra. Professional service and good breakfast. My room was spacious with a pleasant bathroom. Staff helpful in advising good places to eat.

8.3

Great location. A little pricey but we had a pleasant stay here. Beautiful City.

6.6

The arena and place bra are just around the corner. Good place to stay. Recommended for business and holidays as well (city sightseeing or when having tickets for the arena.

9.5

This hotel is very very central, just near the Arena. It was very convenient. It was warm and friendly and was very efficient even when we asked to change our room. I recommend it .

8.6

It is unlikely you find better value: you are VERY central, all entertainment is just below your feet, and the quality is real 4-star. The room is quite big (for Italy), the bathroom is full of character (there is no bath - but an excellent shower). The service is quite good. The directions are actually OK - follow the hotel signs carefully, and you are there without trouble. If you miss - make a round and try again. TomTom directions are also good. You'll be passing through very narrow streets, full of people, be careful, especially in the evening hours when fun is going on. We parked a little bit aside from the hotel, but inside the historical area - it took us some moderate push on the receptionist to get a parking permission card, but it was free of charge (they take you passport as a collateral). If you are for quiet accommodation go somewhere else, or just close the window. You are on a central shopping street, and the day begins early and ends late.

9.0

We only had a single night at Verona and wish we could have stayed longer! This hotel is in an excellent position, just adjacent to Piazza Bra. Whilst the traffic at the front door is the usual Italian mayhem, it was very comforting to have a staff member take charge of our vehicle and park it. The room was very good, spacious and clean and breakfast was also very good. Our biggest surprise was being given a gift on parting - a bath robe - even though we had only stayed one night!

8.4

This is a perfect hotel if you want to be in the very centre of Verona, you couldn't get nearer to the Arena if you tried! Our room had a balacony over looking the Piaza Bra which was fantastic plus we could hear the music from the Arena. The staff were efficient but not friendly. The garage parking worked well and was good value. You would need a good map or GPS to find the hotel through the one way system. It is is a perfect loaction to tour all the main areas of Verona and is in 5 minutes walk of two of the very best, and most expensive, restaraunts in the city. The bathroom was large with a great shower. We didn't eat in the restraunt attached to the hotel but the breakfast had a varied choice, with decent tea! If you want to be in the heart of the city this is a great choice.

8.1

The hotel is most convenient to visit the Verona city and mostly the Verona Arena. There are only a few meters between the hotel and the entrances to the arena. The parking service works excellent only to get to the hotel is a little difficult during opera season.

8.4

Great location right across from arena. Shower was really small but rest of room was very nice. Complementary breakfast was great - lots of different types of food to choose from.

9.0

We enjoyed the Hotel Bologna. The location was perfect for us since we only had one day in Verona and wanted to just walk to all the major sights.The front desk spoke English and was able to tell us where to go.

5.5

Room extremely small. Breakfast was poor. Hot in breakfast room, they wouldn't let us sit outside for breakfast. Difficulty obtaining an alcoholic beverage had to seek out the manager. Location was great in relation to Arena and walking about the town.

7.9

No working air conditioning in room. it got very warm at night. Location is excellent for main area of arena. There is no parking nearby but hotel will garage car for 16 euro per day and bring it out when you require it.

7.6

There were two things I didn't like about the Bologna - firstly, getting to it. A nightmare. At one point I could see it. The policeman who had stopped me could see it. But neither of us had any idea of how to get to it. In the end, we parked up, walked to the hotel and got them to explain how to get there by car - and that worked a treat. Then, we booked car parking. What that actually means is that you give the hotel your car keys and wave goodbye to your car until you next need it. It gets parked somewhere about 20 minutes drive away! That said, it was a really nice hotel; fantastically central; gorgeous surroundings, nice rooms, polite staff. I would not hesitate to stay there again, and I would recommend it to anyone.

7.9

Our room had a very cute balcony and fireplace (although not working). The location was great - in the heart of Verona, a small hike from the train station (bus available if you don't want to walk). The walls were thin though and we heard our neighbors fighting very clearly late at night. The bed was a bit hard with a lack of good pillows. Very spacious room though for Europe. The breakfast was good. Overall - satisfied with our stay and would recommend to others.

9.8

EXCELLENT LOCATION INSIDE THE OLD CITY WALLS! SURROUNDED BY GREAT SIGHTSEEING SITES! HOTEL ROOM WAS HUGH,WITH 2 BEDROOMS,CLEAN AND HOTEL ITSELF IS QUITE ELEGANT!! HELPFUL STAFF!! WOULD STAY THERE AGAIN!!!

7.8

A very pleasant stay in Verona.We loved it, very nice hotel and good service,lovely breakfast,

8.7

Verona is a beautiful city and the hotel is in a fantastic location. Very central to the Piazza Bra and the ampitheatre and the pedestrian shopping street.

8.5

Nice Hotel in heart of Verona. Around the corner of Piazza Bra / Arena.

8.5

Despite some anxiety from when brandnew BMW 530 xd was taken away to an unknown destination by unknown people without receipt (16 €/day) until it came back 3 days later, unharmed, it was an excellent stay in a most charming town in a well situated smart hotel with nice staff.

5.0

The room was extremely hot and old although the bathroom is very spacious and new. The surroundings couldn´t be better.

8.8

Small but cosy hotel with nice, clean rooms. Bathroom is spacious. All staff are very helpful, ready with map and recommendations. Speak good english too. Breakfast was standard. Location is good, near to attractions. Will recommend to friends.

7.6

This was my second visit to this hotel, as the location is excellent and while it is quite basic it is good value and the breakfast is good. We were not impressed with the lack of friendliness of the gentleman on reception when we arrived, however overall our stay was very good and I would certainly recommend it for anyone wishing to see the city sights or doing serious shopping.

9.6

E' l'hotel ideale sia se si vuole visitare Verona, sia se si viene per assistere ad un opera all'Arena.

7.1

Nice and clean hotel exactly in the center of the city. A private parking is available at the price of about 16 euros per night. I recommend this hotel for a pleasent stay in Verona and to visit the shopping ways

9.9

close to all major tourist attractions,very friendly at reception(spoke good English)comfortable beds, very clean

9.3

impagabile posizione. in pochi minuti a piedi si possono raggiungere tutti i punti piu' caratteristici di Verona

8.0

Accogliente. A due passi dall'arena.

6.4

l'albergo è in zona centrale, comodo per muoversi a piedi, ma scomodissimo da raggiungere e difficilissimo ritrovare una via d'uscita che non sia pedonale andandosene. La struttura e le stanze sono anonime e non molto spaziose.

9.6

Perfect location...no better! Helpful staff clean rooms, good breakkie....nothing else needed!!

7.6

The location was great! Only some steps from the arena! All you need you can find within spitting distance: shops, restaurants, bars, the most important sights. Our room was small but clean. The breakfast was not very luxurious. We missed fresh fruits and eggs.

9.2

I highly recommend this hotel for quality, value, and location.

9.0

Very nice hotel in the old city of Verona, 50 from the arena.Nice place to stay to visit the city.

5.7

Hotel très bruyant, chambre pas insonorisée (conversations tenues dans le couloir audibles à 100%) Deco vieillotte Petit déj très bien

9.6

Recomiendo este hotel principalmente por lo centrico que es!! estas a medio segundo de la piazza bra teniendo unas vistas maravillosas!! Respecto al servicio me parecio muy bueno, la recepcionistas estuvieron encantadoras con nosotros. El servicio de habitaciones fue muy bueno(subian el desayuno a la habitacion sin recargo), la habitacion era bastante amplia,tienen habitaciones para fumadores.En general nos sorprendio la calidad-precio(respecto a lo que ya habiamos visto en otras ciudades de Italia).Lo recomiendo sin dudarlo!!

7.9

La situación es perfecta justo a 50m. de la Piazza Bra. El servicio es amable pero a la hora del desayuno preparan medio comedor para desayuno y medio para comida, por lo que deberian avisar antes de que te sientes, si no te das cuenta te mandan cambiar de mesa para no mover los cubiertos (varios huespedes sufrieron la misma situación). La habitación estaba muy limpia pero para 4 un poco justa. En general nuestra puntuación es buena.

8.8

Typical European reasonably-priced three-star hotel in the very center of the city.

9.0

We were very pleased with this hotel. We had a small balcony overlooking the arena and the central square which was great for soaking up the atmosphere. There are only 2 front-facing rooms with balconies though, so make sure you request one well in advance. The hotel has a private car park which costs 16 euros a night. It is expensive, but given the hotel's central location it's got to be expected. Right outside the hotel, by the central square, are a number of nice restaurants and a superb gelaterie (ice-cream shop). It's not expensive but it has the most amazing array of flavours (I recommend Kit-Kat) and the biggest scoop sizes I have ever seen - 2 scoops there is probably equivalent to what you would get for 4 scoops in the UK. Verona is an amazing city and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who hasn't been here already (though be prepared for some culture!). I would definitely recommend this hotel too. It's true that it isn't easy to find; however, that would be the case for any hotel in Verona.

8.1

A charming property, room was Italian old style and very comfortable for 4 people as it was divided into 2 rooms. The location was about as good as you could possibly get in Verona, right in front of the Arena with dozens of restaurants, cafes, shopping just out the front door. Breakfast was excellent as were the staff. Parking was a challenge but doable. Excellent value and will return.

7.9

Fantastic location, very friendly and helpful staff, decent breakfast. Unfortunately, locaton also meant accordian "musician" immediately outside until well after midnight, but a small price to pay for the overall excellence.

9.0

This hotel is very central. It is small but very comfortable. Front desk could have been having a bad day - but was not as welcoming as some other hotels we visited. We would return for the location

10

Great little hotel. Centrally located inside the walled old city. Great rooms asked for a quadruple and got a two room suite, very comfotable. Commercial/residential area. Large selection of restaurants around the hotel including it's own. Very helpful staff.

9.3

The hotel is perfect for the arena, literally a stone's throw;though it is a bit difficult to find by car.A quick tip:it is just opposite the main entrance!! Also very central to do Verona on foot. Certainly be back.

8.6

ideal location for a short break, room and bathroom very clean. A large choice for breakfast great coffee as you would expect in Italy, would recommend.

8.8

Sono stata diverse volte a Verona, in diversi alberghi. Questo e' stato il migliore. I stayed in Verona other times. This hotel is the best I tried so far.

7.3

2 day stay in Verona excellant location for seeing the city, good value for the money, parking was a little bit difficult but this is always a problem in old cities bootom line - would visit Verona again and would stay here

7.0

Decent place with great location. Price paid is fair, price listed at desk very high.

8.6

Very nice hotel, just what we were looking for. Only problem was, at 7-8am on Saturday morning they were emptying glass recycle bins right outside our window. Seemed like it took at least an hour.

9.0

The location was excellent - right across from the roman ruins. Great shopping area also.

8.0

Excellent reception staff. Very good meal and excellent athmosphere at: Le Cantine de L'Arena (Piazzetta Scalette Rubiani,1).

8.4

Perfect in the very centre of the city!

7.9

Great location and good breakfast very close to the action .However rooms are not air conditioned and we had a room facing the street so it was either noise or heat (we were there in late September and it was still quite warm).Good shower enclosure and bathroom.

7.5

Great location... I definitely recommend if staying for one or two nights only.

9.3

Very welcoming and gratious. Great area, excellent breakfast and helpful staff. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Verona!

7.3

Breakfast was great.

9.2

A very nice hotel quietly situated within a few steps of the Arena. Good airconditioning in the room, which was very comfortable - bathroom a bit cramped but modern. Excellent reception, and a brilliant system for taking the car away to an unseen garage, it reappeared exctly at the timle requested. Gooid breakfast in a spacious dininbg room. Thotoughly recommended for a city break in this popular and crowded city. Note that the room prices are considerably higher when there is an opera performance. Rather difficult to find by car - you have to brave semi-pedestrian streets, and the signposting seems to die on you before you get there - make sure you have a good town map. Venere could inprove its access details right across the site, in my experience - its my only complaint about the site.

9.6

Nicely located by the Arena. Well run with helpful staff. Hotel is located in an area with many outdoor restaurants so the noise is not the fault of the hotel or guests. Parking is extremely difficult for those travelling by car. 15 euros buys a valet park at a secure lot. I would recommend to others with the above cautions.

9.9

We were extremely pleased with our room and our stay at Bologna. Parking was a little bit of a problem, but it was worked out.

8.5

Nice hotel, friendly & helpful staff and a great location. Pricey, but probably worth it for the central location. Exceptionally difficult to find if you are not familiar with the city. The directions given were wrong. Numerous signs in the city for this hotel led us to nowhere or in the wrong direction. The exit referenced from the highway doesn't exist. We were very close on several occasions, but when asking directions, none of the locals could tell us where this hotel was. It took nearly two hours to find once in the city. In the end, staying here was worth the effort involved in finding it because of its proximity.

8.0

Great location and breakfast. Verona is the sweetest town, very easy to get around and everything is easy to get to.

5.4

The Bologna hotel is very near to the Arena but none of its room offers the view on it. The heating device as well as in 6 other rooms was out of order which makes a night in winter very unpleasant. The furnishing of the room is also old fashioned. A 10% discount on the bill makes the ratio price for quality still very expensive. The Personal is friendly and the breakfast partly compensated for the inconvenience of the night.

9.4

While the room was small, the bathroom was spacious and most important, the location was terrific!

10

Hotel Bologna in Verona, Italy, was just what I wanted for our 3 day stay there!! My family, my husband and two grown sons, had a lovely spacious room and bathroom. My sons had their own ajoining room with a sliding door with twin beds. We had a master bedroom with a king size bed. It was wonderful!! Very clean and comfortable. The breadfast area was very nice and offered a wonderful selection of foods. Service was excellent! Hotel Bologna is situated right next to the Arena, which is the center of attraction. We were able to walk to other sights and if you wanted, to the bus and train stations. We did take a taxi with our luggage a couple of times to the train terminal and it was only 10 euros. I would definitely select Hotel Bologna again!!These reviews from Venere helped me so much in my selection of hotels for our trip to Italy, I can't praise them enough for the help it gave me!! Thank you!!!

9.2

Ideal location and overall friendly service.

9.7

You couldn't ask for a more conveniently located hotel - just a 1 minute walk to the Arena/Piazza Bra. The hotel is clean, comfortable and very reasonably priced; we paid just 140 euro/night for a triple room in October. I would recommend the hotel and gladly return on my next stay in Verona.

8.6

We enjoyed the hotel, it's in a perfect spot and the suites for four are a good size.

9.9

We really loved this hotel, it was a bit hard to find from the signs, but had an excellent buffet breakfast and it was nice to have an elevator. The location made it a great choice. I will definitely go back again, thanks. Don't miss the Ristorante Adriatico next door it was excellent.

8.0

Great location. Steps away from the Arena.

9.9

Fine hotel in the heart of the extensive Verona action. Hundreds, if not thousands of people strolling just outside, yet our room was quiet (perhaps because it faced an air well). Great breakfast and swift removal of our car to an unknown safe place. Professional staff.

6.9

The hotel is in a great location. Easy access to the Arena and lots of resturants. It was a little pricy for what you got. If I was able to get a good rate I would stay there again. (Great Breakfasts)

8.8

could not fault will go back in the futher

8.2

friendly and competent employees, central location, good breakfast, good price/quality relation.

7.3

The double room was of a decent size and was clean with all the usual facilities. On the downside many of the fittings were a little dodgy; for example the windows and shower door were difficult to open/close. Also the hotel's entire AC system went down on the first night of our stay which made for a very unpleasant night's "rest". Breakfast was a pretty good buffet and the staff were pleasant and prompt. A major selling point for the hotel is its location, only a few seconds from the Arena.

7.4

Excellent location. ROoms were small but adequate. Triple room was wonderful for 3 children. Bathrooms are tiny but nice. Staff is efficient. reservation was perfect.

9.2

very nice hotel great if you are a family and want to go to the Arena. Family room was very spacious and comfortable!

8.1

Great location (100 yards from the Arena but not noisy) but you pay for it. Rooms are charmless but clean. If you are going to the arena this is the place to stay, you can eat here before the performance while you watch the night scene and then attend your show. The only misfortune: the receptionist forgot to return our passports and I had to return from the train station to retrieve them; they offered an apology but no compensation for this inconvenience; offering to pay for the extra cab rides would've been appreciated.

9.2

Superb all round. Could not have asked for more. Fumble Fountain is superb and a must see.

8.8

Perfect location, but a bit hard to find and get to by car... Very nice "family style" hotel. It was perfect for us.

9.9

We are three female friends, and often have trouble with booking a triple accommodation,as hotels the world over seem to assume that we require a double bed and a single bed. The Bologna provided just what we wanted, in fact it exceeded our reservations. We got 3 beds in 2 rooms, less an hotel room than a suite. The room(s) were spotless and air-conditioned, the beds comfortable, the bed-linen immacaulate, the breakfast probably the best we had in Italy and the location the best in Verona, yards from the arena and right in the centre of the old city. The staff were friendly and efficient. Our accommodation was very reasonably priced, even in the middle of the opera season, and we would be pleased to recommend this hotel to fellow travellers. We were very pleased with it, and would love to return.

8.7

The Bologna was very satisfactory for a 3 star hotel. It provided good accommodation in a central position in Verona at a competitive price. Breakfast was well presented with plenty of food choice of good quality. I have no reservation in recommending this hotel.

8.4

As the above positive rating indicates we would definitely choose this hotel again and recommend it to family and friends.
