About this place Hotel Arena

Hotel Arena is a simple hotel on Stradone Porta Palio, just inside Verona's old city walls near the Porta Palio gate. Despite the name, it is not beside the Roman amphitheatre; Piazza Bra and the Arena are about 15 minutes' walk away. It is a mainstream, gay-friendly hotel, not a gay venue. Rooms are basic, and breakfast and Wi-Fi are included. Google reviews average a lukewarm 3.4 from about 460, so expect a functional stay. Castelvecchio and the river are close. In opera season, from June to September, rates rise across Verona. The city's gay scene is limited to a few bars and parties.

The rooms are very basic, but I'm giving it 4 stars because it's very well located and sufficient for one night. I wouldn't recommend it for longer stays. The nearest parking is about a 10-15 minute walk away.

The location is excellent, but it's not a hotel. It's a sort of room rental with no reception or service. The rooms are basic, a bit dated, and poorly maintained. I stayed here for one night during the Orlando Automotive Show. The room, which usually costs €70, cost €160. I'm sorry to say, but it's a steal for what it offers in terms of location. Making money is fine, but no one likes being robbed.

At first, we found it a bit difficult to locate the hotel, as it is tucked away in a small street where cars are not really allowed to enter. However, they do offer organized parking in a garage about a 5-minute walk away, which was convenient. The staff were very friendly and helpful – even before our arrival, they actively assisted us with our questions regarding the ZTL, which we really appreciated. During our stay, they were always available and responsive whenever we needed anything. From the outside, the hotel doesn’t look particularly impressive, but the room itself was absolutely fine and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bathroom was also perfectly adequate. Overall, it was a great stay for the price, and we were satisfied with the experience.
