How we chose the best hotels in Verona
Every hotel here scores 8.5 or higher on Booking.com, read on 5 November 2026, with the review count shown. Three small properties have fewer than 300 reviews and say so in their entries; they clear the 9.0 bar we set for small places.
We read no nightly rates, so prices are tiers from € to €€€€. They are our relative judgment across Verona, not checked rates, so look at your own dates before you commit. Rates swing with the opera calendar.
The list runs in our order of preference, not by commission. Everything is in the old town apart from the station-side pick, because that is where a first visit works best. Our Verona travel guide covers the city itself, and things to do in Verona covers the sights.
1. Due Torri Hotel – Piazza delle Erbe
€€€€ · 9.1 on Booking.com (645 reviews) · Piazza Sant'Anastasia 4
Best for: a classic grand hotel in the medieval core · Skip it if: you plan to drive into the old town
A historic hotel on Piazza Sant'Anastasia, a short walk from Piazza delle Erbe and the river. It is a name that turns up near the top of most Verona hotel lists we checked, and a 9.1 from 645 reviews backs that up.
The old town is a limited traffic zone with camera-controlled gates. Hotel guests can drive in only if the hotel registers the plate, so ask before you book if you are arriving by car.
Tip: ask about parking outside the zone when you book rather than at check-in.
2. Hotel Milano & Spa – Piazza Bra
€€€ · 9.2 on Booking.com (7,226 reviews) · Vicolo Tre Marchetti 11
Best for: opera nights and a first visit near the Arena · Skip it if: you want a small, quiet guesthouse
With more than 7,000 reviews at 9.2, this is the most proven hotel on the list. It sits on Vicolo Tre Marchetti, a few steps from Piazza Bra, and the name tells you it has a spa.
Opera nights fill hotels around the Arena first. The 2027 festival runs from 11 June to 11 September 2027, so book early for those dates.
Tip: sold-out dates are the ones to watch. Book this one before your flights if you are coming for an opera night.
3. Hotel Gabbia d'Oro – Corso Porta Borsari
€€€ · 9.0 on Booking.com (377 reviews) · Corso Porta Borsari 4
Best for: one romantic night in the old town · Skip it if: you want the safest bet of a high review count
A small, romantic hotel on Corso Porta Borsari, the street that runs from the Roman gate towards Piazza delle Erbe. It is our pick if you only have one night.
Its 377 reviews are a smaller sample than the Milano's 7,000-plus, but 9.0 is still a strong score for a hotel this size.
Tip: ask where your room sits if you are a light sleeper, since Corso Porta Borsari is a main street through the old town.
4. Palazzo Monga Boutique Guesthouse – Corso Porta Borsari
€€€ · 9.8 on Booking.com (227 reviews) · Corso Porta Borsari 36
Best for: a handful of rooms in a palazzo · Skip it if: you need a large hotel with a lobby and a lot of facilities
The highest score on this list, from a small guesthouse a few doors along the same street as the Gabbia d'Oro. It is a guesthouse, not a hotel, so expect a handful of rooms.
The catch is the sample: 227 reviews is below our usual 300. We include it because small properties need 9.0 or higher, and this one clears that comfortably.
Tip: compare it with the Gabbia d'Oro on your dates and pick whichever has the better room.
5. VISTA Verona – Old town
€€€€ · 9.3 on Booking.com (174 reviews) · Corticella Leoni 3
Best for: a luxury boutique stay in the old town · Skip it if: you want a proven high review count
A luxury boutique hotel in the old town, on Corticella Leoni. It also appears in Google's related searches for "best hotels in Verona".
At 174 reviews it is our thinnest sample, so treat the 9.3 as promising rather than proven. It is on the list because it clears the 9.0 bar for small properties.
Tip: read the most recent reviews on Booking.com before you commit, because a small sample moves quickly.
6. Relais Balcone di Giulietta – Via Cappello
€€€ · 9.6 on Booking.com (764 reviews) · Via Cappello 23, Cortile di Giulietta
Best for: Romeo and Juliet fans · Skip it if: you want a quiet street
The address is Juliet's courtyard itself. That is the draw and the catch: you are sleeping above Verona's busiest sight.
Juliet's House has been timed-entry by booking only since 1 April 2026, so the crowds are spread through the day rather than gone. A 9.6 from 764 reviews says guests rate it highly anyway.
Tip: book the earliest timed slot at Juliet's House if you want the courtyard to yourself.
7. Escalus Luxury Suites Verona – Piazza Bra
€€€ · 9.2 on Booking.com (593 reviews) · Vicolo Tre Marchetti 12
Best for: anyone who wants more room than a standard double near the Arena · Skip it if: you want a hotel restaurant
Suites on the same lane as the Milano & Spa, a few steps from Piazza Bra. It is the better pick if you want more space than a standard room.
We have not confirmed an on-site restaurant or spa, so do not book it for either.
Tip: check both hotels on your dates, since they share a street and the Arena at the end of it.
8. NH Collection Palazzo Verona – Via Adua
€€€ · 8.8 on Booking.com (1,250 reviews) · Via Adua 6
Best for: a reliable chain hotel between the Arena and Castelvecchio · Skip it if: you want the highest scores on this list
A big-name hotel on Via Adua, between Piazza Bra and Castelvecchio. It is the dependable option when the independents are full.
The catch is the score: 8.8 is a notch below the small independents above it, though it comes from more than 1,200 reviews.
Tip: it is a good fallback when the independents are full, but check your own dates first.
9. Lords of Verona Luxury Apartments – Piazza dei Signori
€€€ · 9.6 on Booking.com (464 reviews) · Piazza dei Signori 4
Best for: families and longer stays · Skip it if: you want daily hotel-style service
Apartments right on Piazza dei Signori, the quieter square next to Piazza delle Erbe. It is the best fit for anyone who wants a kitchen or more room than a double.
It is an apartment property, so check what is included on your dates before you assume hotel-style service.
Tip: a base on Piazza dei Signori puts you a minute from Piazza delle Erbe but away from most of its noise.
10. Massimago Wine Suites – Stradone San Fermo
€€€ · 9.4 on Booking.com (262 reviews) · Via Stradone San Fermo 24
Best for: wine lovers · Skip it if: you want a hotel with facilities
Wine-themed suites on Stradone San Fermo. It suits you if Valpolicella is part of the plan, since Amarone, Ripasso and Recioto country starts about 20 minutes' drive north of town.
At 262 reviews it is slightly short of 300, but the 9.4 clears the 9.0 bar for small properties.
Tip: pair it with a wine tour, since you do not need a car for Valpolicella.
11. Hotel Accademia – Old town
€€ · 9.2 on Booking.com (4,665 reviews) · Via Scala 12
Best for: value in the old town · Skip it if: you want a rooftop or a view we can confirm
The best-value pick on the list: 9.2 from more than 4,600 reviews, in the old town on Via Scala. It tops the Tripadvisor 4-star list for Verona that we saw in Google results in November 2026.
We have not confirmed a view or a rooftop, so the appeal here is score and location, not scenery.
Tip: it is the one to book first if the Milano & Spa is full.
12. Hotel Colomba d'Oro – Old town
€€ · 8.9 on Booking.com (1,962 reviews) · Via Carlo Cattaneo 10
Best for: a mid-priced old-town base with a strong track record · Skip it if: you want the highest scores on this list
A mid-priced hotel in the old town, with 8.9 from nearly 2,000 reviews. It is a safe, central choice rather than a showpiece.
The catch is that nothing about it is unique: it wins on score and location.
Tip: it is worth a look if the Accademia is sold out.
13. Hotel Indigo Verona – Grand Hotel des Arts – Porta Nuova
€€€ · 8.6 on Booking.com (775 reviews) · Corso Porta Nuova 105
Best for: day trips by train · Skip it if: you want to be in the medieval core
On Corso Porta Nuova, halfway between the station and the Arena. Stay here if you plan to take trains to Venice, Milan or Lake Garda most days. Italo takes about 1 hour from Venice and about 1 hour 12 minutes from Milan, and a regional train reaches Peschiera del Garda in about 13 minutes.
It has the lowest score on this list, 8.6. The walk from Porta Nuova to Piazza Bra is about 1.6 km, roughly 20 minutes on foot.
Tip: the Verona Airlink bus (ATV line 199) takes about 15 minutes from the airport to the station and costs €7.
14. Hotel Aurora – Piazza delle Erbe
€€ · 8.9 on Booking.com (662 reviews) · Piazzetta 14 Novembre 2, Piazza Erbe
Best for: a central base on the market square · Skip it if: you want a quiet street
A value hotel right on Piazza delle Erbe, the middle of the old town. It is our value-tier pick for the square.
The catch is the square itself, which is busy through the day. Ask for a room away from the piazza if you are a light sleeper.
Tip: the market runs about Monday to Saturday, so mornings are lively.
15. Hotel Torcolo – Piazza Bra
€€ · 8.6 on Booking.com (1,520 reviews) · Vicolo Listone 3
Best for: a value base near the Arena · Skip it if: you want the highest scores on this list
On Vicolo Listone, next to the paved promenade of Piazza Bra, so the Arena is very close. It is a value pick for opera nights.
At 8.6 it ties with the Indigo for the lowest score on the list, though it comes from more than 1,500 reviews.
Tip: book early for opera dates, when everything near the Arena fills.
16. WEGA Hotel Verona – Via della Valverde
€€ · 8.9 on Booking.com (1,163 reviews) · Via della Valverde 91
Best for: a mid-priced alternative to the central squares · Skip it if: you want to walk to Piazza delle Erbe in a few minutes
A hotel on Via della Valverde, listed under the old town on Booking.com. It scores 8.9 from more than 1,100 reviews.
We have not checked the walk from here to the squares, so look at the map for your own route before you commit.
Tip: it is a sensible fallback when the squares are full.

- Le Suite di Giulietta: rooms on Vicolo Crocioni, 8.8 from 593 reviews.

Which area should you stay in?
Verona is small enough that one base will do, and most hotels here share a few areas.
Piazza Bra and the Arena is best for opera nights and a first visit. It is also where hotels fill first in June to September. The Milano, Escalus, NH Collection and Torcolo are here.
Piazza delle Erbe and the medieval core is the atmospheric choice, with the market square, the towers and the Juliet sights. Due Torri, Gabbia d'Oro, Palazzo Monga, Lords of Verona, Relais Balcone and Aurora are here.
Near Porta Nuova station is the practical pick for day trips, but it is about a 20-minute walk from Piazza Bra. Hotel Giberti & Spa, under Also good, is also here.
Elsewhere in the old town works well for value. Accademia, Colomba d'Oro and WEGA sit here.
San Zeno, Veronetta and Borgo Trento sit outside the medieval core. San Zeno is the one with a pick here (Residence Antico San Zeno, under Also good); Veronetta and Borgo Trento have no pick on this list, so check their hotels on your own dates before you book.
For the wider picture, read our Verona travel guide.
How much do Verona hotels cost, and when should you book?
We read no nightly rates for this list, so we use tiers. Rates swing with the opera calendar: the Arena Opera Festival runs from 11 June to 11 September 2027, and hotels near the Arena fill first.
There is also a tourist tax, paid at your hotel. It runs from about €1.50 per person per night at 1-star hotels to about €5 at 5-star hotels, with B&Bs and apartments at about €3.50. It is charged for a maximum of 4 nights per person per month, and under-15s are exempt. Our Italy trip cost guide puts the whole trip in numbers.
Hotel or apartment in Verona?
Choose a hotel if you want a front desk, a breakfast room and someone to ask about the Arena or the old town's traffic zone. Choose an apartment if you are travelling as a family or staying more than two nights and want a kitchen. Lords of Verona Luxury Apartments is our one apartment pick, and it sits on Piazza dei Signori.
The tradeoff is service. In an apartment you check what is included on your dates, from cleaning to who meets you at arrival, before you book. In a hotel those are usually the default, which is why most picks here are hotels.
Should you stay in Verona or on Lake Garda?
Stay in Verona if you want restaurants, sights and evenings out, with quick trains everywhere. Stay on Lake Garda if you want a swim and a slower, resort-style trip. Many travelers split it: two nights in Verona, then two or three by the lake. Our best hotels in Lake Garda guide picks up there, and the Lake Garda travel guide and Sirmione travel guide cover the towns. Weighing the lakes? Read Lake Como vs Lake Garda.
Getting to your hotel
Most visitors arrive by train. Book on Omio: Venice to Verona or Milan to Verona. Our Milan to Verona route guide and the trains in Italy pillar explain fares and tickets. For the Arena itself, see Verona Arena.
Arriving by air? A fixed-price ride with Welcome Pickups takes you to the door. If you are coming from Venice, our best hotels in Venice and Venice travel guide cover the other half.
Plan your trip
A car only makes sense for Valpolicella or the lake shore: compare prices on DiscoverCars and read driving in Italy first. Add a Yesim data plan before you fly (see our Italy eSIM guide) and compare cover on Visitors Coverage.
Our final word: book Due Torri Hotel for the classic stay and Hotel Accademia if value matters most.
