Mastino Rooms

Mastino Rooms Overview

First Impressions

Here’s the thing about Mastino Rooms — you’ll check in at one address on Corso Porta Nuova, then walk a few minutes to your actual room on a tiny side street called Vicolo Ghiaia. I know it sounds confusing, but honestly, this little quirk is part of what makes the place special. You’re staying in Verona’s historical center, and I mean right in the thick of it, where medieval streets are so narrow they can barely fit a name on the sign. The three-star property might not scream upscale, but the location absolutely delivers something better — authentic Verona at your doorstep.

Location & Neighborhood

The location score of 9.7 isn’t just numbers on a screen — it’s the real deal. From Mastino Rooms, you can walk to Juliet’s balcony in about five minutes, hit the Arena di Verona in ten, and stumble back from dinner in the Piazza delle Erbe without needing a map or taxi. Couples especially love this spot, and I get why — there’s something romantic about staying on a cobblestone side street where you feel like locals instead of tourists. The area gets quiet at night too, which you’ll appreciate after dealing with the daytime crowds at the major sights.

The Rooms

The rooms themselves are clean and comfortable, though don’t expect anything fancy — this is a three-star place that knows what it is. What I really appreciated was how well-maintained everything felt, and the fact that you’re sleeping in a building that’s probably older than most countries. The windows open onto either the narrow street or interior courtyards, and you’ll hear church bells marking the hours. It’s not the Ritz, but honestly, when you’re this close to everything worth seeing, you won’t be spending much time in the room anyway.

Breakfast & Amenities

The continental breakfast setup works well — it’s a proper buffet spread that’ll fuel you for a day of sightseeing without breaking the bank. Nothing revolutionary, but solid coffee (this is Italy, after all) and enough variety to keep you happy. One thing that actually surprised me was the private parking availability. If you’re driving in Verona, you know what a headache parking can be in the historic center, so having that option is genuinely valuable, even if you have to pay extra for it.

Why Guests Love It

Look, Mastino Rooms isn’t trying to be something it’s not — it’s a well-located, reasonably priced base for exploring one of Italy’s most beautiful cities. The 8.1 rating reflects exactly what you get: solid accommodations in an unbeatable location. You’re paying for the privilege of staying inside Verona’s historic heart, where you can grab morning coffee from the same bar locals use and walk home from dinner through streets that haven’t changed much in centuries. For the price point and location, it’s honestly hard to beat.

Reviews of Mastino Rooms

• Katerina from Germany – 28 October 2024 (8/10)

  The location was great , close to the bus and train station within a 15 minute walk and to the centre
  
  What could be improved: The accommodation was opposite a restaurant where loud music was playing until the morning one day. The bed mattresses were very shallow

• Oliviu-corneliu from Romania – 23 October 2024 (9/10)

  Very central located in the middle of the Citta Antica. The Masrino Rooms are situated in other building than The Mastino Hotel. Anyway, the room wa proper and clean, even the furniture is not new. The breakfast was the same, every 3 mornings, but you can find almost all what you’d like, good quality. The stuff was polite.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing to criticize

• Jef from United Kingdom – 22 October 2024 (8/10)

  Great location in a beautiful city.
  
  What could be improved: The walls are quite thin and the shower leaked. Could do with a bit of maintenance. I think the price outshines it's worth a bit.

• Christer from Norway – 11 October 2024 (8/10)

  Centrally located, easy to get around, parking in garage close by.

• Linda from Ireland – 15 September 2024 (8/10)

  Lovely spotlessly clean room. Nice breakfast. Great location. Helpful staff.
  
  What could be improved: There was some building work in progress on my floor which was quite noisy. I wouldn’t have been in the room to notice only it was raining heavily one day of my stay.
  There’s also a bar across the street. The music was loud one of the nights which might bother light sleepers. I slept soundly.
