In-Depth Review
Novo Hotel Rossi ranks #9 of 87 hotels in Verona on TripAdvisor — an impressive result for a place that starts at about $69 a night. It scores 8.6/10 on Booking.com and 8.1/10 on Agoda, and the most recent reviews (November 2025) call it easy to find, quiet, clean, and comfortable. This is proof that a light price tag does not have to mean a bad stay, as long as you pick the right things to care about.
Rooms and decor
The rooms follow a form-follows-function philosophy — no flashy styling, just clean and stocked with everything you actually need. The bed is comfortable, the pillows are good, and the linens are changed daily. The bathroom is very clean with steady hot water all day, and the free Wi-Fi works in the rooms as well as the common areas. Most reviews single out how quiet it is, which is hard to find at this price in Europe and a real plus if you want to sleep properly after a full day out. There are plenty of power outlets and enough room for your luggage.
Food and amenities
Reviewers describe the staff as polite, friendly, and helpful. This is not a big hotel with a concierge desk, but they handle the basics well and will point you to the AC bus routes into town. There is no restaurant on site, though several cafés and Italian places near the station open early. The hotel does a light breakfast buffet — bread, coffee, cheese, cured meats — enough to start the day.
Location and getting there
The main strength is being close to Porta Nuova station, about an 8-minute walk away. That makes it ideal for day trips to Padova (25 minutes), Venice (70 minutes), or Mantova (30 minutes). AC buses 11 and 12 run into the old town every 10 to 15 minutes; the ride from the hotel to the Arena di Verona takes about 15 to 20 minutes, and the fare is around $1.40. The station itself is 800 metres away — an easy walk.
Things to know before booking
The trade-off is clear. The area around the station has far less character than the Piazza Bra district, so you will not step out of the door into the heart of Verona. To reach the Arena and Juliet's House you take the bus rather than walk, and the services are thinner than at a mid-range hotel — no on-site restaurant, pool, or spa.
Our take
Novo Hotel Rossi is the best choice for backpackers and budget travellers who want a clean, quiet room at the lowest price — about $69 a night in a hotel ranked #9 on Verona's TripAdvisor list is value that is hard to beat. If you would rather walk straight into Verona's atmosphere after check-in, pick one of the higher-ranked hotels in this article instead.
