Residence San Lorenzo

Residence San Lorenzo Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Residence San Lorenzo? It’s one of those places that doesn’t try to be something it’s not – and honestly, that’s refreshing. I mean, sure, it’s a 3-star property, but the staff actually seems to care about making your stay comfortable rather than just going through the motions.

The building itself has this lived-in charm that I really appreciated. Nothing too fancy, but everything feels solid and well-maintained. The rooms are what I’d call “sensibly sized” – not cramped, but not sprawling either. Perfect for travelers who actually plan to leave their room and explore rather than camping out by the minibar. I loved the little details they got right: decent water pressure (trust me, you notice when it’s bad), blackout curtains that actually block light, and Wi-Fi that works without you having to restart your phone every twenty minutes. The beds are honestly pretty comfortable too – I’m picky about mattresses and slept better than I expected.

What really won me over was how the place operates day-to-day. Check-in was smooth, no weird hidden fees popping up, and the front desk folks were genuinely helpful with restaurant recommendations. They pointed me toward this little trattoria around the corner that I never would’ve found otherwise – the kind of spot where locals actually eat, not just tourists. The breakfast setup is simple but done well; fresh pastries, decent coffee, and they don’t make you feel rushed even if you stumble down at 9:30 AM looking half-dead. I also noticed they keep the common areas clean without that overpowering chemical smell some hotels blast everywhere. Parking was surprisingly hassle-free too, which – let’s be real – can make or break a trip when you’re driving. The 7.9 rating makes perfect sense to me because this isn’t about luxury or Instagram moments; it’s about reliable comfort and people who know how to run a hotel properly. If you want somewhere that handles the basics really well without any pretense, Residence San Lorenzo delivers exactly that.

Reviews of Residence San Lorenzo

• David from United Kingdom – 4 April 2025 (9/10)

  Perfect hosts, perfect location, perfect apartments.
  
  What could be improved: More Kitchen utensils and crockery

• Yolanda from United Kingdom – 30 October 2024 (8/10)

  The hotel where you checked in was very straight forward to find and the staff were friendly. I was able to store my luggage until the apartment was ready and they called me to let me know it was ready early which was very helpful. I was taken down to the apartment which was close by. right next to the river and on the doorstep of the main square. the apartment was as pictured but appeared quite dark on entry as all the shutters were closed. Everything was clean and tidy. It was very quiet and the view of the river was nice. The high ceilings made it feel spacious. And the lift was an adventure in itself as it was glass walled so you could see the old part of the building. There was a great supermarket about two minutes walk away which was sooooo convenient. Plenty of towels and a good shower. A great location to access the city. Get a map from reception and put your phone away or you will miss all the good stuff.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment was quite dark and I had misread the photos and thought there was a balcony, the windows were huge though so when open felt good. It was strange to have a kettle but no where, except the floor to plug it in ? Also the fridge was freezing everything for some reason, even with adjustment. fortunately I love ice cream !! The microwave was good but there were no mugs suitable to put in it !

• Thelma from Ireland – 22 October 2024 (8/10)

  It was a great location

• Gould from United States – 12 September 2024 (8/10)

  The privacy, the included amenities, the location to the arena and attractions

• Annanda from Germany – 7 August 2024 (8/10)

  Check in was easy, although if you arrive by car you need to find somewhere to park and walk to Reception and they will then accompany you to the apartment where you can also book a parking spot. The property was clean, spacious and importantly, very close to everything to walk..
  
  What could be improved: Finding a parking to check in at Reception is not always easy.
  The hotel does have 2 parking spots to use, but they are not marked at all so we did not know where to go when we arrived at the Hotel.

• Bianca from United States – 27 May 2024 (8/10)

  Location was perfect!
  
  What could be improved: Never received information on instructions for entry into the apartment. You have to go to a hotel which is about a 10 minute walk away- management was very rude and claimed I ignored the emails sent- not true. I received the emails after checkout! Kitchen facilities are very minimal.

• Catherine from Australia – 23 May 2024 (7/10)

  Fabulous location, very central.
  
  What could be improved: The kitchenette was a bit limited. Kettle had to be plugged in elsewhere. Towel provided for drying up instead of tea towel.
  Little bit of updating would be great

• Goatcrab from United Kingdom – 5 April 2024 (9/10)

  Key pick up from reception and then driven to apartment by hotel staff. Driver helped with luggage and explained all about the apartment and how to gain access to it.
  All of the hotel staff were extremely helpful and welcoming.
  The apartment met and exceeded our expectations. The location of the apartment was ideal. It was on a quiet road and close to the river whilst being a short walk to the main shopping and tourist areas of Verona. There were smaller supermarkets nearby and a larger (PAM) supermarket across the river (5 minutes) with a greater variety of stock.
  
  What could be improved: A spare bin bag would have been useful. We did have one meal a day in the apartment and filled the bin halfway through our stay.
  Although it was easy to dispose of our rubbish as there are bins just across the road for general rubbish and recycling of all types.

• Craven from United Kingdom – 29 December 2023 (9/10)

  Great location, felt very authentic of a classic Italian apartment. Good facilities.
  
  What could be improved: Some plug sockets were the old style, including the bedside sockets, not a dealbreaker but I wish we had a heads up to buy adapters. The bed is two single mattresses that constantly come apart.

• Wiktoria from Poland – 18 December 2023 (8/10)

  Localization is excellent same as service! Room all clean and cosy.
