Palace Hotel

We had tickets to see Aida but could not find a centrally located hotel so chose the Palace. On arrival, from the outside, we were terribly disappointed as it looks pretty shabby but pleasantly surprised once inside. The staff were very friendly and the hotel lays on a shuttle bus to the Opera which only takes about 20 minutes. The room was fine (although the main mirror in the bedroom badly marked so could not see much in it!). We did not eat in the hotel apart from breakfast which was typical continental fayre but a cooked... more

Location off center of city (about 30 min. walk). Good parking facility. Very nice reception and room but very little carpeting so resounding. In spite of beeing "very nice" it is not cosy. The bar pianist sounded like he was playing in a cathedral. Speaking of the bar, it was mostly closed.

We left our booking for the first weekend of the Opera a little late, and so couldn't find a central hotel. We were thus pleasantly surprised by the Palace and were happy to have found it. It is a good 25 min walk to the historic centre of town, or one can take a public bus from very nearby. Our room was large, quiet, super clean and comfortable, with a large, good-sized bathroom. We found the concierges most helpful, and they provide a bus on opera days to take guests to the arena-- beware, though, as it makes 2 other stops on the way... more

A bit far from center - 20 min walking - has all other favourable conditions in double. Very kind and cooperative personel, very nice rooms, modern, confortable, very clean, enough space. Bathroom is a must, mainly shower space where you can have a "double" bath, you can seat, you can... Breakfast (buffet) is also good and quite varied. The yogurt is splendid. I frankly recommend it.

If you can afford it go for the Junior Suite. Its a real blast with the double whirlpool bath. It is very spacious and for the extra you pay worth it. I think we paid $200 which is modest by some Verona prices. The breakfast is good if unimaginative. We only ate once in the resturant and that was again a bit bland so we found many more excellent restaurants in the back streets particularly the Greppia off the via Mazzini. It is a twenty minute walk into Verona or there is a bus and the taxi fares were only $7-8 which we thought... more

This is a very comfortable, medium sized, modern hotel outside the centre of Verona but only 20 minutes walk to the centre. The walk into the centre is pleasant and is along the river for a good part of the way. There are plenty of taxis in the city centre if you don't fancy the walk back. The rooms are large, quiet and comfortable. The air-con is very quiet and unintrusive but you can also open the windows. Very helpful staff and definitely good value.

We decided to go to Verona at the last minute to attend the summer opera--but by the time we decided to go, pretty much every hotel room in Verona was sold out. There were only three places we could find that had rooms available--the Ramada, the Ibis, and the Palace Hotel, and we chose the Palace because it seemed marginally nicer than the other two options. Our expectations were thus set very low, and perhaps for this reason we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. Our room was a decent size, and the shower was brand new and spacious.... more
