Stayed at the Hotel Colomba d'Oro in September for one night. The common areas, reception and breakfast, were very nice and had that great European feel. Our room was very clean but a bit drab and boring- very different from the other public areas of the hotel. Bathroom was nice and the staff was friendly. Breakfast was not memorable, and very average.

The nice thing about this hotel was the location. Close to the arena, shopping and some great food. Make sure to stay out at night and enjoy the Verona atmosphere.

Hallways are a bit drab and the hotel is a bit dark. Room on the other hand was good sized, well lit, and pleasant. Location is ideal as it’s just off Piazza Bra and near the arena. You are just steps away from the arena and the medieval castle (museum) is equal distance in the other direction. Hotel was very quiet. The staff lacks the Italian warmth of the other hotels I stayed at it Italy. They are a bit brusque and not that interested in you. They are helpful when asked but always seem disinterested otherwise. Breakfast buffet was good with a nice selection and is served in a pleasant dining room. Here the waitstaff was friendly. Internet service was terrible and I could not keep my laptop connected. I had no such problem anywhere else so I think they have a lousy wireless modem. They refunded my money on the internet charge when asked. I told them of the problem promptly and didn’t wait until check out.

The location of this hotel couldn't be more perfect for us as we were going to the Arena one of the nights we were there and we were only 2 minutes walk from the hotel. The hotel itself we thought was a bit overpriced and didn't even have tea/coffe facilities in the room. The interior of the hotel is very dark and old, especially the corridors and the lift. Our room had absolutely no view to anywhere as it looked out on to roofs of other parts of the hotel. Our room however was beautiful as was our en suite. We felt €206 a night for bed and breakfast was a bit costly but having said that we were paying for the location.

Ideal location to visit arena and city. standard rooms pure. breakfast fine and service
very friendly
