In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Sole Hotel Verona goes for clean, contemporary rooms without much clutter — modern, functional furniture, comfortable beds, soft pillows and fresh linen changed daily. The bathrooms are very tidy and come stocked with soap, shampoo and shower products, and there are power sockets and USB points by the bed for whatever you are charging. Wi-Fi is fast and stable enough for video calls. Most reviews single out how clean and well-kept the rooms feel for what you pay, and they stay quiet even near a main road thanks to solid soundproofing.
Food and amenities
Breakfast is a buffet built to the standard of a European 3-star — fresh-baked bread, local cheese, cured meats, seasonal fruit, yoghurt, cereal and coffee, plenty to start the day before you head out. Staff are polite and straightforward, and they are good at pointing you to the right bus routes and tickets. There is no restaurant in the hotel, but the station district has cafes and Italian places that open from early in the morning.
Location and getting there
Getting around is the real strength here. Porta Nuova station is a 10-minute walk, and AC buses 11, 12 and 13 run into the old town often — every 8-12 minutes — for about $1.40 a ride. From the hotel to Arena di Verona is roughly 15-20 minutes by bus, longer than the central hotels but you save several hundred baht a night on the room. For day trips to Padova, Venice or Mantova, sitting next to the station is a clear advantage.
Things to know before booking
This is the trade-off: you are further from the old town than the other hotels here, so reaching the Arena means a 15-20 minute bus ride or a taxi rather than a short walk. The streets around the station have less atmosphere than the Piazza Bra area, so you do not step straight into old Verona when you leave the door. And with no in-house restaurant, dinner means heading out to the nearby cafes and Italian spots.
Our take
Sole Hotel suits the practical, value-minded traveller — someone arriving by train, planning day trips, or using Verona as a stop along the way. The clean design and fair price make it better value than a central hotel for that crowd. The main downside is for anyone who wants to walk straight into the old town after dropping their bag: from here, budget an extra 15-20 minutes each way.

Insider Tips
- Take AC bus 11, 12 or 13 into the old town — they run every 8-12 minutes and a ride is about $1.40, far cheaper than a taxi.
- Use the station location to your advantage and run day trips to Padova, Venice or Mantova; trains leave from Porta Nuova just down the road.
- The hotel has no restaurant, so plan dinner around the cafes and Italian spots near the station, several of which open early for breakfast too.
