Hotel Maxim - Verona

We were were disappointed in hotels heating sistem.Temperature in corridor was higher then in our room.

The hotel is very comfortable and the relationship between price and quality is almost excellent.

La stanza era comoda e spaziosa, lo staff molto gentile e la colazione molto varia. L'ubicazione dell'hotel è molto buona: 10 minuti di macchina dal centro di Verona. The room was really comfortable and clean, the staff was very kind, breakfast was really good (also in terms of variety. Also the location of the hotel is good: 10 minutes by car to get to the center of Verona.

Old lifts, poor reception and disgusting cafè served by machines on breakfast. The overall cleaning was good. Good deal if you're moving by car. Good private and free parking. The hotel is close to a supermarket

Very clean rooms, greatfull personal, good price free parking , a bit far away citycentre but not so much.

We changed an existing reservation for an other hotel to the Maxim only days before we travelled. I called them to make sure that everything was as we would wish it and was impressed then by the efficiency and pleasantness of the response. The desk staff are all reasonably comfortable English speakers and very keen to be of assistance, even checking weather forecasts, bus services etc for us. Breakfast was typically buffet, but with lots of variety and of good quality. If you like English-speaking television, however, you will be disappointed as only CNN seemed available. That aside, the room was spacious, well-appointed and spotlessly clean; having experienced some tiny Roman bathrooms, I was delighted by the size and quality of ours, with its large walk-in shower and facilities which were off a large vanity unit with a built-in hairdryer, and lots of space for toiletries. The hotel is a little out of the centre of town, around 2 kilomteres. We walked twice and it took around 35 minutes. However, a regular bus-service runs from a block away and that has a flat rate of 1.20 euros, getting you into town in ten minutes. Hotel Maxim is an above-average, modern hotel. If you want quaint, rustic, or historical look elsewhere. However, the deal we secured on Venere made it an affordable, excellent base for exploring the truly beautiful city of Verona which, in our estimation, outshines Florence!

We had to wait more tha 30 hours before we could use our shower. (the shower head was damaged and shouls easily beb changed in a few minutes). WiFi to a high extra cost :-(

It's an average 4star hotel.

They should offer free Internet as other Hotels.Dinners offered are limited and expansive.

Far from lake

Very nice hotel. The staff was nice and helpful. Good price for the quality. Perfect choice if you are by car: easy to reach and with parking. Not far form the center if driving (consider anyhow that to park in a garage in the center, the cost is 2.20EUR/hour). If you are not by car, it can be not very handy to move to the center.

I was not given specific directions (i.e. left/right from the bus stop) by email nor when I called the hotel after I arrived in Verona. The desk clerk gave vague directions when I called several times to find out where I was at in relation to the hotel. I was walking in the dark while it was raining, pulling two suitcases, and he could not give me specific directions. I literally wandered around for almost two hours looking for the hotel while it stormed. I was soaking wet, cold and shivering and all he could say was, "Your only 5 minutes away." I kept asking him which direction and he kept saying, "You're 5 minutes walking distance from the hotel." Other than that my stay was nice. Great breakfast buffet, and all the coffee I could drink. The staff were very nice and friendly.

The hotel is very nice inside. As for "curb appeal" it is terrible because of the outdoor parking lot which is not part of the hotel. The inside of the hotel, staff, and rooms are very nice but the curb appeal just takes away from the hotel.

It is a mystery how this hotel managed to get a 4 star rating. Rooms are just like a cheap motel in need of renovation. Breakfest is outstanding. A 2 star hotel needing a makeover.

It's a quite "old" hotel, that doen't seem to be up to today's 4 Star Hotels.

We appriciated very much the shuttle bus to the Opera Arena and the early dinner before the opera. I can not remember that I saw that information when I booked but it is worth to be mentioned.

Rooms were ok, but not large. The breakfast buffet was not bad compared with other hotels we have stayed in. IT was the most expensive room we have stayed in and the furtherest from the centre of town, but the buses are close by. There is not much in the area and the hotel restaurant was deserted most of the time. Free parking was a plus - internet wasn't free.

We lived in this hotel several times and we were always satisfied. Unfortunately, we noticed a drop of kindness from the staff of reception.We were very well served in the restaurant during dinner and breakfast. We had a room overlooking the courtyard and from the window you could see a dirt roof and some skylights.

Excellent hotel and service

Good value for money

Very nice hotel to stay at Verona if you´ve got a car because is a bit far from the historical centre. Above average for the price!!

I staid here for one night the 31st of october. I had a good time here. A good choice to visit Verona without spend too much and well linked to the centre by public service or just with 7 minutes by car. I recommend this hotel.

The hotel was well suited for our use. We were traveling through. However, if I was staying in Verona and wanted to visit the old city, I would have chosen a hotel closer to the old city.

I visited the hotel to compete in a local Granfondo that started locally. From that perspective it was ideally placed and good value. Late Checkout was also given to the Bikers to enable them to shower after the race.

We are very satisfied by choosing this hotel

The breakfast buffet was amazing! There were many business travelers here and they obviously knew the best place to stay. Nice room. Desk clerk recommended a restaurant which was so good, we returned there the next night as well.

Good hotel. Location close to motorway, and there is a supermarket next door.

The Hotel is located in a public houses area and becomes noicy in the morning hours.

Très bon hôtel, malgré l'éloignement du centre ville. Accès possible par bus : station à trois rues de l'hôtel. En voiture, se garer au long de l'Adige (gratuit après 19h00). Un bémol : le système de climatisation (extérieur) bruyant et gênant la nuit.

The quality of the hotel is ok. However, it is in a long walking distance from the city (at least 45 min to the Arena). Taxi to the Arena is about 12 Euro.

Far from city center

We have passed an excellent moment in this hotel at verona.

First time in Verona thought we would be very close to city centre - hotel was situated in very poor suburb sitting in middle of a square plot of barren land = no outside space for residents no balcony no terrace no garden nothing at all where you could sit in sun or just get some fresh air. Hotel surrounded by grotty blocks of flats with junk and washing all over balconies - you really didn't want to look out of window even if you could open blinds which blocked out all natural light in the hope that you wouldn't see view. Having succeeded in opening blind once had no desire to do so again. 5 minute walk to bus stop then 15 minute ride to City walls not anticipated all descriptions implied close to city centre - not my idea of close and truly dreadful surroundings Staff unhelpful at Reception and courtesy bus not free. We had to pay 100 euros to get to airport as it only services one of the 2 airports serving Verona. It would have been good to know this!! Sorry don't usually do negatives on these things but very very disappointed.

Rooms ok Breakfast is a little bit poor an low quality

Long way to city centre, bus or taxi is a must !

This is a beautiful hotel, however it is quite a distance to the old city of Verona. The hotel offers a shuttle, in the morning only, but no return. There are buses, if you know how to use them, but we did not have much time, so that was an inconvenience. I think this hotel caters more to the business traveler. The breafast was bountiful and very good.

Ottimo hotel, non in centro ma noi siamo stati 4notti a Verona per girare la provincia, pulito, personale gentile, camere pulite ogni giorno , sky pacchetto completo in camera e cassaforte capiente consigliato!

6 on vacation and visiting relatives in the City proper near the arena and in the country around Verona.Rooms were spacious, quiet and squeaky clean but print and take your reservation because I think if you get the unfriendly staff the first thing they do is give you a lesser room. One room we changed three times the other two twice so we clearly knew that we did not have the best rooms when we checked in. Europeans think a double bed is a large bed and a king is just 2 twins put together.Matresses are hard (not at all like American) and pillows were FLAT. If you're older or cautious, request a room with a shower because the tub/shower in most of the rooms is seriously dangerous.Europeans don't understand the concept of air conditioning. Room systems were totally inadequate and controlled by the room key so when you left it turned off. Although it put out cool air, there was no fan on the system to draw it into the room.Bought a fan at the grocery for 15 euro that enabled us to get the room down to 75 degrees per our travel clock thermometer.Every day it was cooler in the hallway than in the room.The staff was either very friendly or completely unfriendly depending on who you got, we just kept on the lookout for Therese who was outstanding and spoke very good english! The lobby was fine and the bar was good when it was open. The area is not historic but the parking fabulous, especially for a large car/van and we never felt unsafe. Large grocery store on site. Not romantic- just a place to sleep. My relatives told me I paid were too much for rooms(3).Breakfast was included; sometimes the breads and pastries were really stale. Eat early as they do run out. Dinner was ok and portions could be shared.Photos were marketing but similar,mine too big to load,sorry.Location good for in and out of City and surrounding areas.We had navigation system which helped.Staff can help with directions and maps.

This hotel is located far from downtown. To access the lobby one has to cross a dirty public parking. Air conditioning in the rooms is programmed from the lobby to stop after à 30-minute working period. When I staid in the hôtel the temperature reached 35°C and I had to energically ask for continous air conditionning in the room. Cooking is rather médiocre.

Only 10 mins from the city by bus (every 5 mins or so). Breakfast was poor, but included in the price. Good value for money (we had a 15% reduction for early booking). Room was quite hot and difficult to cool down.

Great Verona stay if you are passing through. Not close to town center but a good hotel

Very spacious and clean rooms with huge bathroom. Good buffet-breakfast (not just the classic italian "coffe and croiassant") Ideal location with car, easy to find from the highway, (cca. 5 minutes from Verona Est) free parking. Good connections to the center, there is a bus stop 3 minutes from the hotel. (NR.11-12-13) The journey takes about 10 minutes to Piazza Brá, Arena ect. Hardly recommended.

The hotel was overall good as a base to my 5 day trip from lake Garda to Venice. The only complane is about the cleaning ladies, who never replaced used shampoo, toalet paper and soap, so we had to take it by ourself.

This the first time we stayed at Hotel Maxim Hotel Maxim meet our standard

I guess i was expecting more form 4*, Hotel Maxim should be 3* hotel.

The heating system was broken and the staff were unable to fix it.

Wonderful hotel and we got a nice room for a bargain. The only problem is the distance with the historical center. 10-15 minutes by bus at 1.00 euro (1.20 if you buy it on the bus, only coins). If you have a car Maxim is the best choice.

Nice, big hotel, ideal for business travelers. The room was huge, bathroom was big as well, breakfast was very good with lots of choices. There is an external not guarded parking area for free or another closed one for some extra euros I guess - never asked. The only disadvantage of this hotel is that it's far from the historic center and you need to have a car to get there. We would go there again.

We stayed at the Maxim 6 nights. Nice hotel, good service, good breakfasts served. Our only complaint was that the hotel was a bit far from the center of town and especially the train station, about a 20 to 30 minute walk. Convenient bus stop nearby fixed that.

Für Italien, ein wunderbares Frühstück

Insider tips: Would be nice if some television channels could be in German Language. Our struck is: Nice, clean and big rooms with commodious bath rooms. Very good breakfast friendly stuff. We can greatly recommend this hotel.

This felt like a four star unlike other properties in Italy which claims four star status. It's a lovely building indoors but not so much outside. The breakfast was the best I'd had in Italy. The hotel was an excellent value. Take the bus into Verona, a short 3 block walk.

The staff was miserably rude, dismissive & unhelpful. Other guests commented on the same reception. Guests were a great inconvenience for them. Their attitude colored our entire sense of our stay in Verona. It was very uncomfortable and unfortunate. The rooms were clean, spacious, with a surprisingly large and well supplied bathroom. Breakfast was very generous.

The hotel was more than expected. The rooms were very spacious and the presentation was excellent. We had a wonderful stay. A bit of a walk into town but manageable. Verona was great. A place not to be missed.

Non tutti i servizi specificati nel sito erano operativi,c'è bisogno di più specificazione. orario check-in completamente sballato.

Leaking water in the bathroom.

Apart from the bar tender, everything was okay. Would return to this place again. Good breakfast, very quiet, cleanliness of the rooms, nice bathroom. Good bus connections to the city centre (lines 11, 12, 13) during day time.

Some relatives.

Nice hotel, located a bit outised, but you'll get to the city centre by bus quite easily. Just don't miss the stop on the way back (like we did).

Nice spacious rooms. Friendly staff who were able to speak fluent English. We enjoyed a lovely evening meal. Breakfast provided a good varied selection of food. Professional service provided. Out of centre but not in a bad area, just not very scenic.

Good location, super the spacious garage at a reasonable price, excellent the shuttle service to the performances in the Arena

Family of 4 staying for one night to go to the opera and see the city. The hotel was good - as we had expected based on other reviews. Personel was friendly and helpful. Information on public transport was not very precise and could have been better. Otherwise we liked the stay and can recommend the hotel.

This is a good hotel with a great price/quality relationship. The services were nice. The breakfast could have a little more options but in general i strong recommend the hotel.

We had a delicious lunch the day we arrived. We were informed that we could order busfare to the Arena with return after the perfomances. Very convenient indeed.

The deal they gave us was unbelievable- this is a luxury hotel and with the deal we got it for cheaper than most of our 2-star hotels. It's a gerat hotel, and for once the directions and how far to get here stuff was accurate. It's outside of town, but he bus can get you there fine. Do this deal and you will not regret it.

The hotel is well situated. You may leave your car and use the very good local transport to reach and spend your time in the downtown.

Perfect place

The rooms were good but don't ask the barman for wine list as he has no idea if they sell wine?on the 2nd night we ate in the rest and guess what a wine list!we only stayed for 2 nights but didn't like italy anyway so was glad to move onto austria.Italy is a filthy place if you are going to main towns.

Hotel Maxim is a gorgeous hotel and the price was amazingly low. It is close to the city bus line, which is important since it is virtually impossible to park in the old part of Verona. After a day of sightseeing in Verona, we decided to eat at the hotel restaurant and had an excellant meal. Four stars all the way.

Hotel was very quiet and clean!! very well place!

The Hotel is nice and well kept. The room was a bit noisy as there's a railroad nearby and bells rang in the morning (a church probably?). I was a bit disappointed about the distance betweeen the bed and the bedside table.Had to literally stretch my arm to reach it at night. Downtown isn't too far and I had some difficulties finding the Hotel. At breakfast there was a good variety of food but we couldn't eat what we like because they were run out of it, although it wasn't late.

Das Hotel ist absolut empfehlenswert, vor alllem vom Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, die Zimmer gut und sauber und das Frühstück wirklich sehr gut! Das Hotel liegt zwar etwas außerhalb, ist aber durch Busse (tagsüber alle paar Minuten, abends weniger) sehr gut zu erreichen. Wir würden das Hotel jederzeit wieder wählen!!!

Although not in the centre of town, it was easy to find from the autostrada and it was only a few minutes drive to the town centre. The room was a good size and the breakfast was very acceptable - excellent value property overall.

Very good.

The price that propose Venere was excellent.

An excellent hotel with comfortable rooms, a good 4* hotel - but astonishingly inexpensive. It might have been a special offer, but anyway very good quality/price rating.

The advertisement described as follows is misleading: 'A free Internet connection, for guests with their own laptop, is also available.' A WIFI internet is available only in the Building Hall and with a fee for a minimum of Euro5 for 30 minutes and connection is also slow.

Nothing special, conviently located for the airport or to visit Verona, but you need a car. We only stopped here for the night after flying into Bergamo on our way to Venice.

Excellent choice. Plenty of room, nice breakfast, good price for quality provided.You' ve better have your own car, because public transport isn't very good.

Nice hotel, out of the center but not far away

On my last trip to Italy i was at 10 different hotels. Overall Maxim was the best hotel i visited and the best value for money. The staff was very welcoming and polite. All of them spoke English! I would definitely stay at that hotel again! There is a Pam supermarket in the same building, so if someone does not want to spend money on restaurant, it's the best solution. The hotel is not in the center, but there is a comfortable bus line just outside the hotel. I had a car, so that was not an issue. The parking was free. I really recommend this hotel :-)

The Maxim was a great surprise, great value for the price, a lovely room and luxurious bathroom. Very clean and spacious. Meals were excellent, parking was good and the staff were helpful. Easy access to downtown and highway. Would definitely stay there again.

Holte molto pulito, confortevole e personale molto gentile

Excellenthotel, good sized room but hotel is in a rather unsavoury area of milan, lots of undesirables hanging around outside in the street, having to walk by them going in & out of hotel was rather disconserting

El hotel está muy bien (para tratarse de un hotel italiano). Las habitaciones son muy grandes, estan muy limpias y el baño esta muy limpio. El unico problema es que para ir al centro tienes que ir en coche. Pero no es relevante. El hotel esta muy muy bien. 100% recomendable. El desayuno es muy completo. Mi nota es un 9.

Very nice hotel. Very clean rooms with a lot of space and quality. The personnel were very nice. Not superb but good breakfast. Rate price/quality fantastic. The only less positive point for the hotel is the location because is a little far away from the center of Verona.

Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Lo consiglio a tutti. Unica pecca è la distanza dal centro, che comunque è raggiungibile tramite autobus. Fermata + vicina circa 200/300 metri.

Ottimo albergo. Ambienti e qualita' dei servizi da 4 stelle. Supermarket a 30 metri ed un paio di ristorantini a 200 metri. Necessaria l'auto per raggiungere il centro di Verona.

The hotel was excellent, rooms fine and up to expectations. The only disadvantage was that it was indicated on the website that the hotel was located 1 km from the Arena in Verona, which was what we wanted: only about 15 minutes walking. The truth was that the walk from the hotel to the Arena took about 45 minutes of firm walking! This was a big problem, when we could not get a taxi back to the hotel after the performance of the opera Aida on the 9th of July!!! (World Championship Football) Only after many adventures did we reach the hotel at 2.00 a.m., thanks to a very kind Veronese hotel owner.

Die Strecke vom Hotel zum Zentrum wurde mit 1500 m angegeben. Da in Verona die Innenstadt ziemlich groß ist (als Zentrum habe ich zumindest Piazza d' Erba oder die Arena angenommen, war ich schon sehr verwundert, dass als Entfernung bestenfalls Hotel - Stadtmauer angegeben waren - das könnte sich zeitmäßig mit ca. 22 Minuten ausgehen. Dann benötigt man noch mindestens 30 Minuten durch ein teilweise nicht sehr attraktives Stadtgebiet. Wenn man damit rechnet, ist die Entfernung ok., sonst ist man vorerst leicht verärgert. Aber sonst war alles bestens und kann nur weiterempfohlen werden. Auch das Frühstück war erstklassig! Mit freundlichen Grüßen Gudrun Huemer

Good location. Not as quiet as promised. Supermarket in the same building.

Absolutly recommendable/absolut empfehlenswert

Although the hotel istself was fine the service we recieved was mixed - some very good and some not. Also the web site said it was 1km from the centre - it is actually 3.3km fron the centre and not really within walking distance

This hotel was amazing value. The rooms were clean, spacious and had great air con! The rooms had black out blinds which are great if you want a lie in! Although it is 5km from the town centre and train station it is easily accessible with public transport. Buses go every 10 minutes 200m from the hotel! The breakfast was pretty good with a selection of pastries, cakes, cereal, toast, ham and cheeses! Would highly recommend this hotel!

This is the best hotel I stayed in Italy. Not only the price, but also the service I enjoyed. Spacious room, excellent service, brilliant breakfast. One CON is that the location is a little bit out of the city. In the night there will be only one bus per hour to get back to the hotel from city center. Unless you wanna wait or walk back (3 km or so), you have to take a taxi, which will cost ur around 10 euros). One more advice, if you arrive at Verona Porta Nuova (main train station), it's very convenient to take a bus to reach the hotel as the bus stop is only 100 meters away. however, the hotel itself is closer to the minor railway station (Porta vesco) in the map. But please do not get off from the minor station, as it will take you at least half an hour to drag your luggage to the hotel. Do get off at the main trainstation, and take a bus (1 euro for single ride).

This was a great place to stay for the money. We actually wished we had stayed in Verona and at the Maxim longer. They were very accomodating.

The issue is the location - it's much further than 1km away from the centre and taxi's are difficult to get. We had over an 1hr wait in the centre to get home at night on a Saturday night). You have a choice of a taxi (11euros and have to wait for ages) verses a good 40+ minute walk. Given that the attractions are in the centre of Verona - it was a pain to get in and out of town.

Very fine hotel. Located close to Verona with good parking and easy access to the city. Excellent breakfast. Surroundings are a bit spare - apartment buildings.

We stay one night wish was more because this hotel is wonderful. Good service, room clean, personnel very friendly. They provide paraking at no charge. There is a supermarket next door. Venere.com thank you for helping us choose this outstanding hotel.

The bathroom was huge! Excellent breakfast buffet, although a little crowded. We also ate dinner in the restaurant, and it was very good, and not busy at all.
