Exclusivo near Arena Full A-C Wi-fi

Hotel Description

I remember pulling up to Exclusivo near Arena on Via Adigetto – you know, that quiet little street tucked away in Verona’s historical center, just a stone’s throw from the Adige River. It was one of those warm summer evenings when the city starts buzzing with opera crowds heading to the Arena, and honestly, finding parking wasn’t the nightmare I expected; there’s a public lot nearby on Via Pallone that only set me back a few euros, though it fills up fast after 6 PM. Walking in, the lobby felt more like a cozy apartment building than some fancy hotel – no grand chandeliers or anything, just a simple reception desk with a friendly guy who spoke decent English and had my keys ready in minutes. I mean, check-in was a breeze, but fair warning, if you’re arriving late, the door buzzes you in, and it can be a bit echoey in that narrow hallway. The building’s got that old Verona charm, with stone walls that smell faintly of aged wood and fresh coffee from the machine downstairs – nothing over-the-top, but it sets a relaxed vibe right away.

What really sold me on the place was how it balances that no-frills 3-star feel with some thoughtful perks, especially for a spot smack in the middle of everything. My room was on the second floor, overlooking a tiny courtyard – not a sweeping view of the Arena or anything, but you could hear the distant hum of street musicians from Piazza Bra, which is literally a five-minute stroll away. The full A/C was a lifesaver during Verona’s sticky July heat; it hummed quietly without that annoying rattle some places have, and the Wi-Fi? Solid, actually – I streamed a whole movie without buffering while sprawled on the firm but comfy bed. The bathroom’s compact, with those classic Italian tiles that feel cool underfoot, and the shower pressure was surprisingly strong, though the towels were on the thinner side, you know? I appreciated the little kitchenette setup – fridge, microwave, even a stovetop – which came in handy for grabbing prosciutto and cheese from the market on Via Mazzini and whipping up a quick snack instead of eating out every night. Oh, and noise-wise, it’s pretty peaceful after midnight, except maybe on weekends when folks spill out from the bars along Corso Porta Nuova, but earplugs sorted that out easy enough.

All in all, if you’re looking for a spot that feels authentic to Verona without breaking the bank – we’re talking solid value for a 7.6 rating – Exclusivo’s a smart pick, especially in shoulder seasons like spring or fall when the tourist throngs thin out and you can wander to Juliet’s House or cross the Ponte Pietra bridge without elbowing through crowds. It’s not perfect; the decor’s a tad dated, sort of 90s minimalist with those beige curtains that could use a refresh, and breakfast isn’t included (though there’s a great pasticceria around the corner on Via Cappello for your morning cornetto). But well, for someone like me who values being able to step out and feel the pulse of the city – the scent of blooming jasmine in the air, the clink of wine glasses from nearby trattorias – it’s got that insider edge. I’d go back in a heartbeat, maybe even book a longer stay to catch an Arena show without the hassle of commuting from the outskirts. If Verona’s on your list, this place makes exploring it feel effortless.

• Buen relación calidad y precio – Carlos from Mexico – 13 April 2024 (9/10)

  Buena ubicación y muy limpio
  
  What could be improved: El check in lleva un proceso muy largo, no reserve con anticipación y la entrada fue un poco complicada por todo el proceso para obtener las claves de acceso. Y el estacionamiento aunque es gratis es muy angosto.

• Very good – Brigenti from Italy – 6 May 2024 (8/10)

  La vicinanza all' Arena
  
  What could be improved: Il divano letto andrebbe lavato, era tutto macchiato. La ragazza si è rifiutata di dormire su quel letto

• Very good – Giulia from Italy – 28 April 2024 (8/10)

  La posizione centrale , la pulizia e il posto auto.
  
  What could be improved: Suggerisco di mettere degli strofinacci per la cucina e una tovaglia per il tavolo ..e aggiungere delle cialde per il caffè o almeno dire la marca della macchinetta per procurarsele..
