Dream one ( Sankofa ) Overview
You know what caught me off guard about Dream one ( Sankofa )? The name itself tells you everything you need to know if you’re familiar with Akan culture – Sankofa means looking back to move forward, and honestly, that philosophy runs through every corner of this place. I mean, it’s officially a 3-star hotel, but it punches way above its weight with that impressive 9.1 rating, and after spending time there, I totally get why.
The moment you walk in, there’s this immediate sense that someone actually thought about how spaces should feel, not just look. The lobby has this warm, lived-in quality – not fancy in a stuffy way, but thoughtful. You’ll notice little touches everywhere that speak to that Sankofa concept: traditional art pieces mixed with modern comfort, staff who actually seem to care about your stay rather than just going through the motions. The rooms are clean and well-maintained (which, let’s be honest, isn’t always a given at this price point), and the beds are surprisingly comfortable – I’m talking about actually sleeping well, not just surviving the night.
What really sets this place apart though is the attention to cultural authenticity without making it feel like a theme park. The common areas invite conversation, and I found myself chatting with other guests more than I usually do at hotels. There’s something about the atmosphere that just encourages connection. The breakfast – well, it’s not going to win any awards, but it’s solid and fills you up for the day ahead. Parking isn’t an issue if you’re driving, and the neighborhood feels safe for evening walks. I noticed the place tends to attract travelers who are more interested in genuine experiences than Instagram moments, which creates a really nice vibe overall. The staff genuinely knows the area and can point you toward local spots that aren’t overrun with tourists. Honestly, for the value you’re getting – especially considering that 9.1 rating reflects real guest satisfaction – Dream one delivers on its promise of being a place where you can rest well while staying connected to the local culture.

Reviews of Dream one ( Sankofa )
Chiara from Italy – 10 April 2025 (9/10)
E' un appartamento delizioso con un letto comodo spazi ampi la cucina attrezzata e un bagno grande con doccia moderna. La proprietaria Susanna è gentilissima e premurosa, e ci siamo trovati benissimo. La posizione è perfetta per visitare Verona a piedi e nei pressi si trovano anche bar e ristoranti. Ci tornerei sicuramente!

It’s very clean and the facilites are nice
Jacki from United Kingdom – 21 August 2024 (10/10)
This is the perfect place from which to ‘do’ Verona! It’s a lovely space to rest up in and plan between sights and has an oh so comfortable bed! It’s clean and pleasant and easy to be in. The owners were easily contactable and were more than accommodating when I had some access confusion. Would highly recommend and will be going back if I’m in Verona again.
What could be improved: WiFi code might be more user-friendly
Could have done with a map of the cityScott from United States – 28 July 2024 (10/10)
Wonderfully furnished and maintained apartment located in a very quiet area but within 5 to 10 minutes walk of many great restaurants, stores, and Verona attractions like the Arena, Juliet's house, etc. Two blocks from one of the main bridges that crosses the river. Bus stops within a couple of minutes walk. Easy to get to/from the train station. The washing machine was very nice to have. Well equipped kitchen with a large refrigerator. Large, beautiful bathroom.
What could be improved: Not anything really.Aleksandra from Poland – 15 July 2024 (10/10)
The location near the centre
Kateryna from France – 28 June 2024 (8/10)
