Besprechung von Hostelz.com
A hostel converted from a 500 year old mansion. There is a large lawn with a fountain and pathways that join the different buildings that make up the hostel. The lawn is a great place to hang out both at night and in the daytime. There are also indoor sitting areas.

The rooms range in size from a huge room with 50 beds to smaller dorm rooms. There are lockers (you must provide the padlock). On the downside, the bathrooms aren't too great, and the showers are the large communal type with no privacy. There is a very early 11:30 PM curfew, and the lockout starts bright and early at 9:00 AM and goes until 5:00 PM. Sheets and a minimal breakfast are included.

4 Not a party hostel
The bathrooms have been redone and there were five showers for men that offered complete privacy and a changing area with hooks for clothes. Very friendly management that spoke good English. Very clean. Beautiful views. I took the bus from the train station but it might be quicker to walk if you aren't too tired. They still have the annoying lockout. I arrived at 4:15 and had to wait until 5 p.m. to take a shower. I went to the Opera and due to the lock-out, was told that I had to be back in the building thirty minutes after the opera ended. It ended at 1:08 a.m. The walk from the opera to the hostel took about twenty minutes. There is a lot to see in Verona, but if you want to party, avoid this hostel. I paid 17 Euros and it included a bowl of coffee in the morning, bread, and a cookie.

2 Welcome to the 1950s hosteling
The place is an old villa, which is nice to look at but at the same moment I thought, why aren't they fixing parts of it. I've been staying there a couple of times, because it is the cheapest to get in Verona. But entering the hostel and staying there will show you, how hostels were fifty or sixty years ago. Check in after 5 p.m., check out before 9 a.m., means an eight-hour lockout, even you will stay for a couple of nights. Breakfast is, well, there is one. Staff is friendly when they have to, or feel like it. There is a nice park area to sit down and have a picnic or read. Provided dinner sometimes for 8€ which is home cooked Italian food, worth trying, because it saves a walk into town. Overall, my guess is that if there is someone opening another hostel in Verona, they will lose every international traveler, because there is nothing else to do but rest your head.

The hostel is a nice place, but such an early curfew is something that is impossible to bear. We went to the opera (Mind! Famous Italian Arena di Verona -- the place recognised by all over the world!) but had to leave at the middle of the performance because of the the curfew -- it is more than irritating, it's enraging!

horrific, the staff ignored us when we arrived, even when my girlfriend started crying. the bed sheets were somewhat rubbery, the boys showers were communal, there is a curfew, an early lock-out, and the breakfasts are nonexistent. The hostel is cheap but not worth what you pay to stay the night. I'm sure Verona is very nice but we could not bear to stay a second night here.

1 I do not recommend staying in this hostel. I stayed there with a friend for four nights and, honestly speaking, it was like torture. When taking a shower, the water was cold to ice cold every time. It was cold inside the building, and the blankets we were given were not warm enough - and this was in the spring when it was twenty to twenty-five degrees Celsius warm outside during the day. The bed linens were not clean. The first two mornings we were woken up by a dog that was barking loud right next to our room -- he started at 6:30 a.m. It also echoed in the room which made it difficult to sleep, even for me who is used to noise. There were lockers in the rooms but they couldn't be locked. On the last day we wanted to leave our luggage in the hostel, but it was only possible to leave them on the corridor where anyone could just have taken them. I was very disappointed in this hostel, as I had heard that the building is very beautiful and historical. It was, but if I can't sleep, store my luggage safely, take a shower, nor decide the times when I want to be in my room that I'm paying for, I don't actually care that much about the environment of the hostel.

1 I am not a partier and usually keep early nights but as another guest said, this hostel takes the fun out of staying in Verona. Good points -- Gorgeous building. Bad Points -- Ridiculous curfews -- out by 9 a.m. is the worst I have seen in all my travels. Only good thing about breakfast is the fun of drinking out of bowls. No mixed dorms, and you can only stay in Private room if you have kids. Quite a walk uphill to the hostel especially with Bags. No secure bag storage -- we were not even questioned when we picked up our bags from the unlocked corridor despite a new person being at the desk. Worst of all the communal showers. If you are in the side building and want privacy while you shower either have a shower late at night or search for one in the main building. My husband tells me it is even worse in the men's with not even a shower curtain across the communal shower.

3 This is a nice hostel. It's a typical HI hostel, large, clean and a bit institutional. The lockout from 9 till 5 was a bit harsh, especially in the Verona heat. The bedding system is just odd, i.e., you have to hand in your last night's bedding every morning regardless of if you are staying or not, and then pick up new bedding in the afternoon. Beautiful building and really not that far from town, a nice walk.

1 HI hostels are soulless voids that will crush your spirit and make you question why anyone would open a hostel just to punish travelers. This is in a beautiful old building, but when you are locked out of your room for one third of the day, and locked in for another third, it's like they don't think adults are responsible enough to plan their own day. You will not be able to see Verona on your own terms if you stay here. There's nothing else for that price in Verona. It's just a lame place to stay.

4 This hostel is beautiful. It has very nice gardens and the rooms are spacious enough and there is a locker; you need to provide the lock, though. The breakfast is great and it was seriously the best coffee I have ever had at a hostel. The people who run it are very friendly as well. Verona itself is a beautiful town and definitely worth a stop. The only problem was that the hostel is really hot. It was the end of June so all of Italy is hot, but even at night with the window open and no sheet over me, I was still sweating like a pig and woke up two or three times because of it. But I would still go again. Oh, and they have a curfew, but if you go to the opera they bend it for you. However if you just want to enjoy Verona at night, well then too bad.

4 Very clean and safe, but a good walk from town. Once we got in, we did not feel like going back out, so the optional dinner was nice. We needed a break from the party scene anyway! Communal showers just means that all the shower stalls, toilet stalls, and sinks are at the end of the hall. Never had to wait for a shower. Truly a nice hostel if you want a break from "action."

5 This is the nicest hostel in Italy. It has very beautiful gardens, and it's in a magical city. Note: The breakfast is not a wonderful breakfast.

3 Bad points: There was a curfew, a lockout and the location was pretty far from town. Good points: The hostel has free breakfasts and good pressure showers! Don't go as a couple, as it has only girls' and boys' dorms. There's no mixing at all.

4 We liked this hostel and its ancient feeling. It was clean and comfortable, with great views from the room we shared.

3 This is a nice place, but they have too many rules. It's far from the town center and as for the sheets, well, they suck. But the hostel is okay in general.

3 If you can put up with the nanny ideas of HI hostels (lock-outs and lights-out times), then this hostel is ok. It has a good location, and is always clean, but is not much fun. It's the sort of place I went to on school trips, so it's not really my idea of an ideal place to stay.
