AuroraEast

Hotel Description

I remember pulling up to the AuroraEast on Via M. Pasti after a bit of a detour through Verona’s eastern outskirts – you know, that part of Borgo Venezia where the streets get a little narrower and the vibe shifts from touristy chaos to something more like everyday Italian life. It’s not smack in the historic center, but honestly, that’s part of the charm; you’re about a 20-minute walk or a quick bus ride from the Arena di Verona, and if you’re driving in from the A4 highway, it’s a breeze to find – no circling for ages like in the old town. I arrived mid-afternoon in late spring, and the check-in was smooth as anything; the front desk guy, Marco I think his name was, chatted about the best local spots for aperitivo while handing over my keycard. The lobby’s got this modern, understated feel – clean lines, a few abstract paintings on the walls, and that faint scent of fresh linen mixed with espresso from the bar area. Oh, and parking? They have a small lot out back, which is a godsend in Verona where spots vanish faster than gelato on a hot day, though it fills up quick during peak season like July when the opera festival hits.

What really stuck with me about the place – and yeah, it’s a solid 4-star spot with an 8.7 rating that feels earned – is how it balances comfort without trying too hard. My room on the third floor overlooked a quiet courtyard (ask for one facing away from the street if you’re a light sleeper; there’s some morning traffic hum from Via Fincato nearby, but nothing that earplugs couldn’t handle). The bed was plush, with those crisp white sheets that make you sink right in after a day wandering Juliet’s House or the Adige River paths – I mean, Verona’s got that romantic pull, but your feet will thank you for a good night’s rest here. Breakfast was a highlight, served in this sunny room with big windows; think fresh croissants, local cheeses, and cappuccinos that actually taste like they’re from a neighborhood bar rather than some hotel machine. It’s not massive, but there’s variety – gluten-free options if you need ’em, and the staff are quick to whip up an omelet. One minor gripe? The Wi-Fi dipped a bit in the evenings when everyone logs on, but for checking emails or streaming a quick show, it did the job. And the rooftop terrace? Underused gem – I spent an evening up there with a glass of Valpolicella, watching the sun dip behind the hills, away from the crowds.

All in all, if you’re heading to Verona and want something authentic without the inflated prices of the centro storico spots, AuroraEast is a smart pick. It’s perfect for couples or solo travelers who appreciate a bit of local flavor – Borgo Venezia has these hidden gems like the little market on Via San Nazaro for fresh produce, or a short stroll to Porta Vescovo for that historic gate feel without the tour buses. Well, sort of – it gets busier in summer, but even then, the hotel stays pretty chill. I’d go back in a heartbeat, especially off-season when the rates drop and you can really soak in that quiet Italian neighborhood rhythm. Just pack light; the elevators are on the smaller side.

• Very good – Joanna from United Kingdom – 15 June 2025 (8/10)

  Lokal czysty, duży, wyposażony we wszystko co potrzeba. Ładny.
  
  What could be improved: Zameldowaliśmy się w 3 osoby. Było jedno podwójne przygotowane łóżko. Do drugiego nie było poszewki ani prześcieradła. Właściciel nie odbierał telefonu, kiedy odebrał ciężko było się dogadać po angielsku. Poprosił o wysłanie info na watsapp, co zrobiliśmy,, wraz ze zdjęciami. Długo nie było kontaktu, w tym czasie szukaliśmy poszewek gdzie się dało. Chcieliśmy iść do miasta, ale czekaliśmy na kontakt z właścicielem. Nie doczekaliśmy się więc poszliśmy. Kiedy byliśmy poza obiektem właściciel napisał kilka opcji gdzie może znajdować się pościel. Sprawdziliśmy po powrocie i była poszwa i prześcieradło w zaścielonym łóżku w skrzyni. Czyli trzeba było ubrać sobie pościel we własnym zakresie.
  Ciężko było znaleźć obiekt, na ulicy gdzie takich kamienic jest wiele. Dopiero na domofonie jest napis AURORA.

• Exceptional – Sergio from Italy – 15 June 2025 (10/10)

  Appartamento grande e finemente arredato e ristrutturato

• Recomand – Loredana from Romania – 11 April 2025 (10/10)

  Apartamentul arata exact ca în poze, totul este moder și curat, spațios. Deși este la distanta fata de centrul orașului accesul cu mijloace de transport este rapid , apartamentul foond situat într-o o zona liniștita. Apartamentul este dotat cu tot ceea ce ai nevoie.
  Singurele dezavantaje sunt etajul 4 și sertarele ușor deteriorare.
  Recomandare: papuci de unica folosita ( ne îngheață picioarele) si cafea ( zahar și sare) .

• Bad – Samanta from Italy – 12 May 2025 (1/10)

  L ambiente è molto accogliente peccato che era privo di altro
  
  What could be improved: Arrivati in tarda serata,molto stanchi …troviamo il letto della cameretta non pronto…così contatto la struttura per capire dove fossero le lenzuola, mi dice di guardare sotto il tetto , ma purtroppo non c' era nulla, quindi decidiamo di far dormire mia figlia con noi… ma arrivati in camera ci rendiamo conto che nel lettone c' era la presenza soltanto del lenzuolo di sotto e il piumone…avviso dell'ccaduto al proprietario , così la mattina seguente arriva la biancheria, con assenza di fodere per i cuscini….un disatro, per non parlare della polvere in giro e il frigorifero molto sporco….siamo già stati li era tutto perfetto ed eravamo molto felici di ritornare,ma purtroppo… è stato un soggiorno pessimo….non si sono degnati nemmeno di un rimborso conoscendo il disagio avuto…
