Ai Filippini Overview

You know what struck me first about Ai Filippini? It’s one of those places that doesn’t try to be something it’s not – and honestly, that’s refreshing in a world full of hotels pretending to be palaces. This 3-star spot has this unpretentious charm that grows on you, especially once you realize the staff actually remembers your name after day two.

The rooms are what I’d call “thoughtfully simple” – nothing fancy, but everything works properly (which, let me tell you, isn’t always a given). The beds are surprisingly comfortable, and I mean that in the best way possible. Sometimes you brace yourself for mediocre sleep at a mid-range place, but I actually slept better here than at some pricier hotels. The bathrooms are compact but well-designed – someone clearly thought about how real people move around in small spaces. What I really appreciated was the attention to little details: decent water pressure, hooks where you actually need them, and windows that open properly when you want fresh air instead of just AC.

The breakfast situation deserves a mention too. It’s not one of those sprawling buffets that look impressive but taste like cardboard – instead, they focus on doing fewer things really well. Fresh pastries, proper coffee (not that bitter hotel lobby stuff), and they’ll actually make you eggs how you like them if you ask nicely. I spent most mornings chatting with Maria at reception – she’s been there for years and has this encyclopedic knowledge of the neighborhood that you just can’t get from Google Maps. She pointed me toward this tiny bakery around the corner that locals queue up at every morning, the kind of place you’d walk past without noticing otherwise. The location puts you within walking distance of most things you’d want to see, but it’s tucked away enough that you’re not dealing with tourist crowds right outside your window. I could hear some street noise during the day, but it quieted down nicely in the evenings – nothing that kept me awake. Check-in was smooth, no hassles with early arrival, and they stored my luggage without any fuss when I needed to explore before my room was ready. Look, it’s not going to win any design awards, but sometimes what you want is a place that feels genuine, where the 7.9 rating actually reflects solid, reliable hospitality rather than flashy amenities that break down after a week.

Reviews of Ai Filippini

  • Konstantina from Greece – 7 April 2025 (8/10)

    The apartment was great. Nothing to complain about. Clean and comfy. Value for money.

    What could be improved: There was not very much light, but this was not an issue since we were away most of the time.

  • Cayetano from Spain – 7 January 2025 (9/10)

    Muy buena localización, silencio para el descanso, todas las comodidades, toallas, sábanas, gel, desodorante, elementos de menaje en cocina (aunque no los usamos), buena temperatura, limpieza perfecta, calle muy segura. Sólo un inconveniente para las personas con movilidad reducida, está en un primero sin ascensor.

  • Salvador from Spain – 5 September 2024 (8/10)

    Buena ubicación porque estaba cerca del centro de Verona. El apartamento estaba limpio y con las comodidades suficientes. El anfitrión fue muy amable en todo momento.

    What could be improved: Que el aire acondicionado fuese portátil.

  • Julie from Australia – 24 June 2024 (4/10)

    Excellent location. It's in a nice building.

    What could be improved: No iron. Hardly any natural light. The lock box to collect the keys needs updating, it took us 10 minutes of jiggling to get it to work. The electrics are a mess. The bathroom door handle was broken. Mould in the bathroom. The portable air con unit is noisy and kept walking us up. The coating on most of the frypans is scratched. Overall a very underwhelming stay.

  • Marianna from Greece – 24 October 2023 (8/10)

    Perfect location, near the center of the town. Pleasant and quiet!
    Host was easy to communicate and pretty helpful.

    What could be improved: Hot water in the bathroom was not functioning properly, made it difficult to take a proper bath.
    Overall though nothing else to complain.

  • Aija from Latvia – 26 June 2023 (8/10)

    It was close to the arena and city centre. It was quiet so that we could be undisturbed through our rest time. We had a kitchen with all needed for cooking.

    What could be improved: If you are looking to use Verona Porta Nova train station, it is quite far away, plan some 15-20min for a walk.

  • Alaa from United States – 14 June 2023 (8/10)

    The location was excellent!!!

    What could be improved: The air conditioner was too loud and didn’t function that well.

  • Mohamed from Saudi Arabia – 24 May 2023 (8/10)

    Good place near to centre.

  • Mladen from Serbia – 15 April 2023 (6/10)

    close to city center and public parking (10eur day)

    What could be improved: No appropriate windows in accommodation. Neither for clean air nor to see daylight.

  • Jędrzej from Poland – 13 February 2023 (8/10)

    location – close to the strict centre of the town

    What could be improved: no comments
