In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
The rooms here go colourful and contemporary, a real break from the classic Verona look — clean modern furniture, white linens against a dark headboard, and showers with coloured lighting that most reviewers call fun and one-of-a-kind. They're tidy and well kept, the beds are comfortable, and there's enough desk space for a laptop. Wi-Fi is fast and stable, the bathroom is spotless, and the hot water holds steady. The in-house spa runs a range of massages and beauty treatments — exactly what you want after a full day on your feet, and something most hotels at this price just don't offer.
Food and amenities
The feature that sets this place apart is the rooftop bar — lounge seating, a decent drinks list, and an open-air jacuzzi looking straight across at the Arena di Verona at dusk. It's built for a glass of Amarone or Soave from the Veneto region while the lit-up Roman amphitheatre sits right in front of you. Breakfast in the main dining room covers cheese, cured meats, baked bread, fruit and coffee — enough to set you up before heading out — and reviewers rate the spread and the flavours.
Location and getting there
It's 3 minutes on foot to Piazza Bra, about 5 to the Arena di Verona, and roughly 10 to Juliet's House — a strong base for covering the old town all day without a taxi. Porta Nuova station is about 1.3 km away; a taxi runs $9-11, or it's an 18-minute walk.
Things to know before booking
Drinks at the rooftop bar are priced above average — a few reviewers suggest having one in the room first, then going up just for the view. During opera season (June to September) the hotel gets noticeably busier and rates climb, so book at least 2 months ahead. And keep its level in mind: this is a design-forward 3-star, so it won't match the room sizes or full facilities of a larger 4- or 5-star.
Our take
This one's for couples after something a little romantic — an open-air jacuzzi with an Arena view at dusk, plus a spa and a central spot near Piazza Bra, all at a 3-star price, which is a hard combination to find in Verona. Just go in knowing the rooftop drinks cost more than average and the place fills up in opera season.

The Honest Verdict — pros & what to know
- A rooftop bar and open-air jacuzzi looking straight at the Arena di Verona — you won't find that at this price anywhere else in town.
- A full in-house spa offering massages, facials and body treatments, which most 3-stars at this rate simply don't have.
- Colourful, contemporary rooms with coloured-light showers; reviewers single out how fun and one-of-a-kind the rooms feel.
- Friendly, multilingual staff and service that gets consistently good marks in reviews.
- Right in the centre — 3 minutes to Piazza Bra and 5 to the Arena — so you can walk everywhere without taxis.
- Drinks at the rooftop bar are priced on the high side — some reviewers suggest having a drink in the room first, then heading up just for the view.
- During opera season (June to September) the place gets noticeably busier and rates climb, so book at least 2 months ahead.
- It's a design-forward 3-star, so don't expect the full facilities or room size of a larger 4- or 5-star property.

Insider Tips
- Pour a drink in your room before heading up to the rooftop — the bar is on the steep side, and the Arena view is free either way.
- Time the jacuzzi for dusk, when the Roman amphitheatre lights up across from the rooftop.
- If you're coming in opera season (June to September), lock in a room at least 2 months out before rates jump.
