Hotel Piccolo - Verona

5.7

The night concierge was surly. The surroundings a little spooky. However I did get a parking spot for my car out front and left it there for 2 days and nights free with no damage. The best thing I can say is that the hotel offers a free shuttle to their restaurant in their other hotel. The food was great there and the service friendly without a high price.

7.7

Hi all, our room was too small, but in remuneration the breakfast was very good and abundant.Some distant from the historical center.The owner is very kind and available.

9.6

This hotel is some way from the city centre which is within a walking time of a minimum of 20 minutes. It is very conveniently situated for the railway station. It offers excellent value and the breakfast is very good and was the best we experienced during a stay at several hotels. The hotel provides a regular minibus service to a nearby sister hotel with a restaurant which offers an excellent set price meal at reasonable cost. Be prepared to wait for the return journey until the driver has finished his meal. Excellent hotel which has to maintain high standards with good value because of its non central position

8.3

Excellent hotel, the second tıme that I have stayed there ın the past couple of years! The hotel has ıncreased ın sıze and facılıtıes and stıll provıdes excellent value fo money.

7.9

the rooms are not modern and not realy big. it was clean and they changed sheets every day. the location is a bit tricky to find. the breakfast was ok. you can easily park at the street near by. over all its a nice hotel but the value to price could be better.

3.1

Ok for a one night stay. Had a far better deal at a Best Western Premier in Bergamo for the same money. With 5* quality Hany for the train station but a little too far out of the city centre

5.7

The location is really not good. Far from city centre and hotel surrondings really not nice. The rooms are ok (clean) but there is clearly a problem with the noise (from other rooms, from other people in the hotel). Breakfast ok but not really good.

9.3

It was a really nice room, very smart and a clean bathroom. my only complaint would be that the air-conditioning was very noisy and we had to turn it off in order to sleep.

5.7

This is not a four star hotel. The staff were excellent but the bedroom was small and the bathroom was exceedingly small. We had to request replacement soap when this ran out. No tea or coffee making facilities. Breakfast choices were very limited. Bread was dry and stale.

4.7

the choice of hotels in verona is limited during the festival. this hotel is close to the station and offers a bus service to the arena and back after the opera.

6.9

La posizione non è male (non lontano dalla stazione anche se guardando la mappa l'albergo sembrava piu' vicino). rapporto qualità/prezzo discreto: la colazione varia e abbondante è a buffet (peccato per la macchinetta del caffè...), alla reception sono gentili, le camere potrebbero essere piu' grandi ma per una notte uno chiude l'occhio. la gestione dell'albergo è in comune con l'hotel adiancente (martini con l'insegna HOTEL piu' visibile per chi arriva dalla stazione).

9.9

Excellent people work there, helped with advising us where to go and how since we had no car. Small problem in the A/C was kindly fixed effectively, very clean and not shady as in Rome. Stated nearby the railway station (5 min. walk) and to center of town -about 10 min. walk. Good healthy breakfast!

8.0

Very close to railway station, and a pleasant enough walk into town. Clean, tidy accommodation and bathroom. Friendly and helpful staff. Typical Italian hotel breakfast - perfectly adequate.

7.6

free parking space at the street close to the hotel, near the city (10 min by foot to centrum). clean and save.

6.5

L'hotel è carino, normale. Noi siao stati bene. E' molto comodo il servizio bus offerto in occasione degli spettacoli dell'arena. Le camere sono veramente molto piccole, il bagno comodo. La colazione non male.

7.7

Nice and clean hotel. Breakfast was good for an Italian standard. For the woman, there was a big mirrow and a foehn. And there was a fridge. It's about 20 minutes walk to the center.

7.5

A clean comfortable modern hotel, helpful staff,and within comfortable walking distance of the centre of Verrona for two 60 year olds.

7.7

Good!! for this hotel to stay in Verona, not far from Central station but the map wasn't clear, we had to ask many people "where is it?". The room and the WC is very clean which I like so much.

8.7

The employes at the Hotel all spoke wonderful English and helped us check in and out quickly.

8.2

We were only in Verona one night but it was charming. Although the hotel room was small, it was adequate for the one evening. The staff was good and the breakfast more than expected.

9.6

We liked the stay very much. Very good breakfast. The room and bathroom very good. The cleaning also very good. Cant complain on anything really. Best Regards Jan Ellneskog

9.6

very good hotel, close to the center Would come back surely

3.7

Heater in room couldn't work because staff forgot to switch on!! After I called to reception, heater was turn on but not so warm. It was not good for me in this price when I compared to the other hotels.

6.6

Fine hotel. I knew this hotel would be a walk to centre of town and it took min 10 mins. it is very convenient to the train station and for the price i was prepared for the limited distance from the centre. The hotel was very clean with adequate and modern furnishings. the room was very small but had a large balcony (which not all rooms have it seems). Staff were very helpful and the buffet brekfast was great. The gym was fantastic - though i suspect rarely used. Highly recommend it - especially for the price.

9.3

We were welcomed late at night and courteously driven to the restaurant. We were able to park our baggage the following day after checking out. We did have a bit of difficulty finding our way to the hotel following the map provided

10

I really enjoyed the stay. I wish that there were stores nearby, or at least, they were willing to provide red wine for the guests to buy.

8.7

The occasion of my travel was tourism. I Hotel "Piccolo" I stayed at double room.

9.1

We stayed 2 nights at Piccolo Hotel. It was well located for the railway station and local bus routes. It was quiet. The breakfast was above average, I had 4 courses. Shame on me. Overall this hotel was above my expectations. Wish we had another excuse to visit Verona.

9.6

We could recommand this hotel to persons who want a good price/quality performance. The location is exellent for people travelling by train.

7.0

Despite the road and the hotel looking rather unpreposessing from the outside, the room was very comfortable, quiet and nicely decorated, albeit with a rather "corporate" feel. Puzzlingly it was actually in another hotel adjoining. The whole place felt a bit soulless but it was absolutely fine for a one night stay. I was a bit concerned by not being able to lock the door from the inside; the mechanism somehow didn't enagage. I would have complained about this if I had been staying longer. The hotel is extremely near the station so excellent as I was travelling around by rail, it is not very convenient for exploring the city as it is a good 25 minutes brisk walk to the centre of Verona. In summary I would say it was fine for what I wanted, a one-night stay on a journey, but if I visit the city again I would look for somewhere more central and welcoming.

9.5

very nice place - pleasant people - 15 minits walk from the center - easy parking - I would recommend it to friends

10

Gute Lage um zu Fuss zur Arena zu gelangen. preis/Leistung sehr gut. kommen gerne wieder

1.2

the breakfast is good

4.9

The hotel is very far of the city centre. In the web page said the hotel is near of history center part of the city and it is false because is very far away.

8.1

First time in Verona, just wanted an unexpensive hotel, after 20 days traveling in Croatia. Our main goal was Rigoletto at the Arena, so we just needed a CLEAN hotel with a CLEAN bathroom, towels and bed sheets. After a bad first impression when you get to the Reception and see the façade, we realized that the rooms had been totally refurbished and were really well kept,with our desired neat sheets and an efficient air-conditioning. Given that prices in Verona are high and that we had just had a frustrating -and expensive- experience in a Croatian hotel, we found this one seemed a 5 star hotel for us. Don't expect something 'cozy', charming, classy or special at all. It's just a perfectly clean place, 15 minutes off the wonderful city centre of glorious Verona, which was a great discovery for us. This town is much more than just the Arena and the Shakesperean Lovers' fake touristy milestones. The Piccolo is a great choice if you don't want to pay exhorbitant amounts of money for a clean place to have a rest.

7.4

As our first time at Hotel Piccolo to attend the opera at the Arena, it was really important the shuttle service provided, considering the distance of the hotel. We also appreciated the buffet breakfast included in the room price.

7.5

The breakfast was by far the best we have had in the hotels of this price range.

8.5

Easy access from Train Station (5 minutes walk if you know the way) and within a 15 minute very pleasant walk to the Arena. Hotel staff very helpful and polite with very good English. There are three sister hotels, Martini, Piccolo and the Porto Palio just down the road. Each Hotel provides a good Continental Breakfast. If you want an evening meal ask at reception (The Martini) and a free car will take you to and from the Porto Palio Lido, where the food and service is excellent. From the Porto Palio we took the free coach, provided by the Hotel chain, to the Arena to see Carmen. The same coach takes you back to the hotel(s) after the opera. The Hotel provides bikes to get get around on at only 7 euros per day. This is the best way to see Verona as the area is very flat and, surprisingly, the drivers are very courteous to cyclists. We had the misfortune of my husband having a serious accident in the hotel room (opening a bottle of wine) that resulted in an ambulance journey and a visit to the hospital. Within moments there were three members of staff coming to our aid. We cannot thank them enough for their help on that occasion nor for the pleasantness of our stay there.

6.2

bon rapport qualite prix tres calme pastrop loin du centre historique a pied

9.2

We have now stayed at the Piccolo for six consecutive years, and we have never been less than very pleased with the accommodations and the service. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and efficient, and I look forward to returning every year. Breakfasts are excellent and varied. An important aspect of the hotel for me and the small group of college students who come with me is the proximity to the train station. Better directions from the station to the hotel on the web page would be welcome. Although it is a short walk, the path is a little complicated.

5.0

Out of the centre of Verona. Horrible man on reception - dont think he'd heard of customer service. And he didnt treat his staff well either - the bellboy was ordered around like a slave.

7.6

Le foto sul sito si riferiscono all'edificio principale ma le maggior parte delle camere sono nell'edificio accanto che ha un'aspetto ben diverso. Le camere sono comunque ordinate e moderne.

8.4

Good accomodation for a short staying in Verona. Very close to the railstation, you can reach any zone of the city by feet.

6.0

Cheapish, and near the station, and fairly easy to find. But the surroundings are not nice, and there are prostitues everywhere, although as a bloke they did not bother me (as in scared me - they certainly approached every man on their own). If you are going to be sightseeing all day, then the Hotel is fine. I think I would go for a B and B next time.

7.5

Close to the station but hard to get to from the centre of the city. I didn't feel safe at night coming back to the hotel on foot. Breakfast was great.

7.9

I liked this hotel. It is close to main train station, about 5 minutes to walk though there is nothing between station and hotel but many traffic lights and broken pavements, no shops, no restaurants. When you are on Porta Nuova station square you see huge church which you should turn round from left (better) or right side. The hotel Martini/Piccolo (they are in one building) is a little further ahead. I was given a double room as single, the room was convenient. Breakfast was very good, also.

8.9

First time, we would recomend it to people if you don't need big luxury. Close to train- and busstation, quite close to the historical center. It was a quiet room, we could sleep very well.

9.1

Quiet and clean room. Near from train station and turistic area. Great welcoming!

9.9

We had a great stay at Hotel Piccolo, which is 5 min walk from the train station and 15 min to the historical centre. The rooms were very clean and spacious, the staff - very polite and helpful, the breakfast - various and tasty. We could leave our bags after check-out and take them just before our departure by train. Really great experinece!

7.7

I booked this hotel as I has stayed before on business. Its a good 20 minute walk from the arena so please consider this when booking. Public areas are quite small but staff are friendly and helpfull.

4.8

Este hotel se vende como "estar en las cercanias de la estacion de trenes". CUIDADO, ni mucho menos, los 400 metros que hay en el trayecto son solitarios, oscuros (si es de noche) y sin ningun negocio,bar, restaurante, en 800 metros alrededor. El hotel no tiene restaurante si alguien quiere cenar mientras llueve. El interior es OK pero no para el precio que se vende. No lo recomiendo para viajeros solos, ni para personas mayores que no quieren hacer mucha distancia a pie. Es un hotel comodo para vendedores o visitantes en coche que pasaran una noche y seguiran su itinerario. No se dejen convencer EL HOTEL NO ESTA CERCA DE LA ESTACION. Y ese podria ser su unico atractivo.

9.3

The hotel is very well placed. Very near of the railway (if you want to visit beautiful places in Lombardia it is a great advantage) and near of the historical center of town of Verona (15 min. to the Arena). It is a clean hotel and the breakfast is very good and complete. Very high competence of the employees. We strongly recommend this location and we'll be back here because of the wonderful town of Verona.

3.7

Seems to be aimed at economy business traveller who just wants a room for an overnight stay. No really bad points but everything pretty ordinary. room clean but very cramped. - can walk into town but it is a fairly active 20 minute walk Good points - within short walk of station

5.9

It would be possible to get closer to the centre of Verona and its activities.

7.7

nice hotel in the near (15 Min.) to arena

6.6

stopped serving evening meals which was most inconvenient though they did take us to a sister hotel about 2 miles away but the meal,sevice and atmosphere were not good.However we would stay at the Piccolo again. What was good was the underground car park as there is nowhere to park outside

7.9

The walk from the train station was a bit confusing on the way to the hotel; much easier on the return trip but is about 500 meters. About a 15 minute easy walk to center of town. The room was small but comfortable.

5.8

Great that it's right next to the metro and easy to get around. Had to ask several times to have the AC turned on to block out the street noise to be able to sleep. Expensive for what you got not the greatest value.

8.1

good breakfast buffet

8.8

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE STAFF AT YOUR HOTEL WE SPECIALLY ENJOYED THE BREAKFAST.. GOD BLESS

5.8

This hotel has been bought by the Hotel Martini 2 doors away and all the reception tasks are carried out by them. This meant that we had to go 2 doors away to check in and every time we went in and out. With no active reception desk and no staff about in the building, and with a slight scent of disinfectant permeating the long narrow corridor it gave an impression of a ghost hotel, although the following morning at breakfast, which was at Piccolo, we found that the place was quite full. If there were a fitness centre and sauna as stated on the web page we didn't notice them , but then we didn't enquire about them. In the evening we found that the the shower was very slow to drain and complained the following day. This was dealt with. The more irritating problem was the noise of water from the next room. As their bathroom jotted into our room we could hear every water movements next door louder than our own — flushing of toilet, shower etc.

8.9

This is the only hotel that is within walking distance of the Train Station and it is a 15-18 minute walk, crossing a busy street. The staff was very helpful and spoke English. There are no restaurants nearby and on a Sunday not many are open at all. Their breakfast was very abundant and buffet style. Check in is at the adjacent property and someone walks you to the annex where your room is located. The rooms were well appointed and offered modern comforts. Air Conditioning worked very well, and there was a refrigerator and television in the room.

5.7

We found that it was quite a long walk into the centre of Verona and back after a long day's sightseeing. We would consider finding a hotel within the city walls next time, however it was close to the station which was a plus point as we were travelling using the train. We had gone to Verona to see the opera and were pleased the hotel had laid on a bus to the Arena and back. Excellent breakfast spread.

8.7

very good hotel for a stay in Verona specially for the operas fans

5.2

It was OK, no more. A long way out of town, and near what passes for Verona's red light area. Overpriced - but then I guess that all hotels are in the opera season. Was unhappy about the room and really should have complained: it backed onto the fire escape and the windows were barred for security. God knows what wd have happened if there'd actually been a fire!

9.4

Very close to railway station. 15-20 min walking distance from the historic center and shopping areas. Nice rooms and breakfast.

9.2

My wife and I only stayed 1 night but had we been staying longer would have been very happy. It was easy to find when walking from the railway station took 10 minutes. Breakfast buffet style enough to keep us going all day.A short 15 minute walk to the centre. Arrived before check in time and able to leave cases securely.

4.9

We did not have a good stay here. Verona is a hard city to book a quad room in for a reasonable price so I booked a triple for our family of 4 with kids aged 2 and 4. I then called the hotel to make sure that they would be okay with the 4 of us in a room for 3. I was told cheerfully that this was fine. All this changed when we arrived. The man at reception was very cold in demeanor. When I asked about getting a comforter to fold, extra mattress, or "baby cot" (whatever that is) for my daughter, I was told rudely that no baby cots were available. We were then sent to our room with the luggage porter and that was it for their service. Once in our room, we discovered that the third bed was actually a daybed/bunkbed combo. We raised it up, took out the mattress and dropped it back down. We acquired an extra sheet from my inlaws who were also staying with us in a nearby room. The next day, housekeeping put everything back and took the extra sheet, forcing us to go through all that trouble to arrange the beds all over again! At checkout the same man who greeted us rudely told us, "We saw you used the mattress and sheet..." and told us of an extra charge. Then almost refused to listen to me explain how upset we were over all the trouble we had to go through to get said sheet and bed and with no help from the hotel in the first place. And still charged us for the sheet (for washing). If they had just told us up front about where to find the mattress and provided a sheet, we would have been quite happy. We would have been happy to pay the charge if they had provided at least a little assistance with the fourth bed. And 5 euro to wash a crummy sheet? Come on.... (They also charge 5 euro for 30 minutes of internet use as well. Extortionist hotel.)

5.5

Some of the staff were obviously not comfortable with a gay couple staying. Really got looked down at by the reception staff. Breakfast was ok and the location was close to the railway station. Aircon didn't work and there were tenniss courts out the back which were rather noisy,

8.9

We were traveling for pleasure - 3 weeks throughout Italy. This hotel is very nice, clean, and quiet. I think it is better suited for the business traveler. Although located convenient to the train station, we felt it was quite isolated from the sight seeing area. It's probably more like a 20 minute walk rather than a 10 minute walk to the sights as published. There are no restaurants or grocery stores near the hotel. We returned from sight seeing and asked about places to eat and were recommended to go back from where we had just come. Nice hotel. Not crazy about the location.

9.5

The hotel is perfectly situated in recard to the train and bus station and the inner city.the walk to the inner city is nice and quiet and gives you a good starting point.

7.7

The only negative point is the location that was far away from the city center. All the other aspects were above expectation, although this was the most expensive hotel in all travel around Italy, France and Amsterdam.

9.1

This hotel is perfect for someone wanting close access to the train and the centre of the city. I would definately stay again

8.5

A excellent hotel to stay in.Small rooms but thats par for Europe.Close to rail station a must if using a rail pass. Most helpfull at front desk. Have found for the most if you are cheerfull you get a cheerfull response. Fist visit to Verona .Much nicer than Rome which we found to be too big.

7.9

very helpful and competent employees, breakfast was ok but nothing special.

8.3

good hotel. very nice room and breakfast. lovely bathroom. great power shower. very near the train station. good buses into and out of verona. a bit of a walk to main sites in verona centre...by the time you walk in and walk around you will be quite tired. get a 3 day verona pass for 12€ at any attraction - free on the buses then. not much shops or restaurants near hotel have to go into centre

6.1

it was somewhat difficult to reach from the train station. the road was bumpy to pull your luggage. Our room was on the first floor and one nite there was a large crowd in the hotel lobby, making a tremendous amount of noise! We called down and they were aware of it and would try to stop it? The lady who served breakfest was not too friendly and she did not replenish depleted items.

7.9

This was my second stay at Hotel Piccolo having stayed there previously in 2006. It's a fairly simple, unpretentious hotel which is comfortable, offers clean and comfortable rooms and is very well-located for the train station and the city centre if you are happy to walk 10 minutes or so. It is fairly secluded and quiet despite being close to a ring road.

7.2

Excellent breakfast.

7.9

Front desk staff was very friendly and extremely competent. They helped me figure out how to get to a swim meet clear cross town using public transportation. Breakfast was good but dry (cookies, bread, croissants), not much in the way of moist foods (fruit, yogurt etc). Rooms and common facilities were very clean. Hotel is close to central station, neighborhood was quiet.

8.8

We stayed in a triple room for a couple of nights, the hotel is very close to the train station, which is great if you are carrying luggage, and about 15 min. walk to the centre of Verona. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and perfect for our expectations. The best part was the breakfast which had great variety and was really nice if you're used to European continental breakfasts. We did not have time to check out the hotel's other facilities but overall would recommend the hotel and would definitely return.

8.9

My mother and I enjoyed our overnight stay at the Piccolo hotel. We were a little confused when we arrived as the Piccolo is part of the Piccolo-Martini hotel and there is a shared reception. The location was good, the Piccolo is approx 15 mins walk from the city centre and very close to the Porto Nuova train station, but we had to cross a couple of main roads and roundabouts to get to town so I wouldn't recommend it for the elderly or for people who are nervous about traffic. The staff were extremely helpful and gave us a city map to help us to get around. I would be happy to recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a reasonably priced option in Verona.

8.1

Nice hotel, staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Room was comfortable and clean. Only drawback is the location, it's a 20 minute or so walk to central Verona but it's not too bad a walk!

8.9

Excelent breakfast. Not far from the Historical center (20 min walk)

7.8

Breakfast was excellent. Easy walk from train station.

8.6

Struttura accogliente in tutto e per tutto...consigliatissimo!

4.2

ACCUEIL DETESTTABLE on essaie de nous loger dans une chambre sinistre de 2m/3. obligés de protester pour changer. Chambre propre, le reste du personnel est efficace et courtois. bons petits déjeuners.

8.4

This hotel is very close to the train station and after they initially could not find our reservation we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the hotel. The room was clean and there was even a fitness centre (although it was locked when we tried to go there early in the morning - so cannot comment on the facilities inside). The breakfast is an extensive continental and the coffee is great. It is a fairly long walk to the centre of town (15-20 mins) but not unmanageable. The staff were always helpful with any questions we had.

9.6

Felicidades, es un excelente hotel, cuartos muy amplios y bien decorados y una ubicacion aun mejor. lo que recomiendo es que busquen bien la ubicacion por que el mapa que proporciona no es muy claro, puede ser algo confuso ya que encima las calles son un algo enredadas, por lo demas lo recomiendo al 100%.

7.2

The hotel was fine for a few nights. The walking distance to the city centre was acceptable.

7.4

My husband and I stayed here in October 2005 because of its proximity to the train station. The staff was friendly, the room was clean, and the free breakfast was fantastic. A great pick for those spending time in Verona.

7.7

We stayed for only one night in Verona, and had to depart the next day, so the Piccolo was a convenient and functional choice. It was clean, and the staff went out of their way to mail me some of my belongings that I left in the hotel. The only problem we had was the noise in the room. Although it was quiet outside, we heard every toilet flush and telephone ring of adjacent rooms, and the sound of a hairdryer echoed like a loud vacuum cleaner. If you are an early riser and don't mind the noise in the morning, then this a good value, clean, functional hotel -- great for business guests.

8.8

It was a pleasant surprise. Well worth money spent.

7.6

The support given by the hotel to fax our reservation confirmation as required by the Italian embassy in South Africa was suberb. The kind offer by the hotel manager to send an SMS for me have ALL my gratitude.

7.4

The hotel has now been merged with an adjacent hotel, so reception is actually in the building next door. In general there were no problems with this, however.

9.7

I don't think I was much less than wholly impressed with this hotel, especially since I was expecting the usual '3 star italian standard' (i.e. cracked sinks, burnt lampshades and moth-eaten mozzie nets) for little over £20 pppn! Very surprised to find that the price included full breakfast, unlimited gym access (brand new) and about the most spacious en-suite shower room I've ever seen! There were also internet rooms, multi-storey car park, bike hire, sauna & solarium, full restaurant all on offer. The receptionist willingly offered us a triple room, as there were no twins available, had the concierge take our bags up for us (plus give us a tour of leisure facilities), was willing to give us advice on where to go in town and what to see... the room even came with complimentary bottles of water! I think this place is crying out for another star! Location is great too, as it's reasonably close to town on foot and very convenient for the station. I imagine the local prostitutes might bring the area down for some, though we found that the local nightlife gave the area an interesting flavour and we felt completely safe the whole time, which is what matters really. I may even return to Verona again just to repeat the experience!

7.6

The ratio price/quality takes into consideration that the stay was during the opera season, otherwise it would be very poor. The hotel is not bad, the breakfast is acceptable, and it is not very far from the Arena. One remark: if you awake a bit later you can have a call from the reception (slightly hard) telling you that check-out is at 11 (without previous notice). For this reason I would not return to this hotel.

7.5

Nice breakfast, especailly the hot chocolate was a great way to start a day. The owner of the hotel was very nice who allowed us to leave our luggage there for a couple of days. The bathroom was newly renovated and it looked wonderful..........

7.2

good value for Verona but very small rooms.

10

Hüsches, sauberes Hotel in ruhiger Umgebung, jedoch zentral gelegen, so dass die Innenstadt bequem zu Fuß erreichbar ist. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis passt auf jeden Fall!
