Hello, I will be in Verona Italy on Tuesday Sept 23-Sept 24. Many of the Rick Steves recommended hotels are booked for that date - with the exception of one, the Forum Suites. It looks very nice, but does anyone have any recommendations? (Hotel Aurora, Albergo Mazzanti, Protezione della Giovane, Milano, Giulietta e Romero, Opera Relais du Charme all booked). There are two of us. Do not need anything fancy! Just a clean place to sleep.
I always choose my lodging through the ratings & reviews on Booking.com. Only people who stayed there receive the link to submit a review.
Have a wonderful time in Verona! I will returning there this September, too. I have stayed at Hotel Aurora but really liked Hotel Bologna last time very near to the Roman Arena. I will be at Hotel Bologna again.
We stayed at the Verona House Aparthotel (though Bookings.com) last year - short walk to the arena through a pedestrian street with nice restaurants. Smart, quiet and comfortable and not unreasonable.
I'll second Hotel Bologna. We stayed there last year. Very near the arena, good breakfast buffet. The room was nice, comfy bed, small bathroom but certainly doable. Front desk staff friendly and helpful with questions etc.
In Verona I have stayed at Hotel Giulietta and Romeo and liked it very much. Friendly staff, good breakfast and excellent location. A good friend stayed at Hotel Europa that was more budget friendly and was very happy with that choice.
