Scene
Basic hotel with old-school style for those on a budget
For travelers with low rates in mind (and who have their own wheels), the Montresor Palace might do the job. However, the style and ambience here doesn't really live up to the hotel's lofty name. Expect to see old-school decor that includes rust and black leather Chesterfield sofas atop vintage checkerboard floors and '80s-era pillars throughout the hotel's common areas. A lobby bar serves drinks and there are plenty of places to hang out. Traditional Italian art hangs on one wall, adding a bit of local character. There's nothing particularly special about this hotel, but according to most past guests, it meets the needs of a variety of budget-focused travelers who don't need to be in the city center. As such, you're likely to see a wide spread of travelers here, including couples, families, and small groups.
Location
Residential area outside central Verona, a 10-minute drive from Roman Arena and city center
This hotel is located in a residential area outside of Verona's city center. The striking Basilica di San Zeno is only a 10-minute walk from here, but otherwise it's mostly local shops and humble restaurants on the surrounding streets. For those wanting to spend time in the city center, it's helpful to have a car as walks there are long. The Arena di Verona, home of the Opera Festival, is a 10-minute drive from the hotel. It will also take 10 minutes by car to reach sights like Piazza delle Erbe and the Torre dei Lamberti. The bus stops near the hotel for those who'd prefer not to walk or drive, and the hotel provides shuttle service when events are being held at the Arena. The closest train station, Verona Porta Nuova, is a seven-minute drive from the hotel. Expect a 15-minute drive to the Verona Villafranca Airport, or 35 minutes by public transportation. Lake Garda can be reached in about 30 minutes by car.
Rooms
Spacious and clean, but dated, with flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and minibars; Junior Suites have whirlpools
While the rooms here are spacious and clean, they are undeniably dated and even a bit worn in some cases. Decor is limited, but includes old-style bedspreads and striped wallpaper, with a border at the ceiling. Wood floors are a nice feature, and furniture is clean-lined wood, though the overall look feels stuck in an earlier time. All come with air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, minibars, safes, free Wi-Fi, and work desks with chairs. Bathrooms are tiled and feature bidets, towel warmers, small stall showers, hairdryers, and toiletries. The two Junior Suites are larger and add a sitting area with a sofa and a separate jetted tub in the bathroom. Views are of the canal or surrounding buildings and street. Things do stay relatively quiet at night, in part due to the hotel's residential location.
Features
Limited features include a breakfast buffet and free Wi-Fi
The hotel doesn't have much in the way of features, even for a budget hotel in the area (it certainly doesn't live up to its own "four-star" claims). It does offer two fully equipped, flexible meeting rooms that can accommodate from 30 to 55 people, and a computer station with a printer. Parking is in a private garage for a fee or along the entrance to the hotel for free. The small restaurant is open only for special events, but a breakfast buffet is served daily for a fee. A small bar by the lobby has a few bar stools and tables, and cushy sofas and chairs are available in the lobby. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property.
