We stayed overnight in the Hotel Accademia - we booked through hotels.com and paid a rate of £200 for the room for 3 of us, including breakfast.
The hotel is right in the middle of the old town on Via Mazzini - the heart of the exclusive shopping area of Verona between Piazza Bra and the Arena. There are lots of expensive boutiques and shops next to it and Piazza Erbe and Juliet's house are very close by.
The hotel's name comes from the former Accademia dei Filotimi founded on the site in 1562 for the education of young noblemen. In 1797 it became an inn with stabling for horses and in 1880 a hotel, facing onto Via Mazzini - supposedly the most exclusive shopping street in the heart of Verona.
There are 94 bedrooms, a bar and a restaurant as well as a garage. We found this invaluable. We had a hire car and did not need to use it while in Verona. We found most hotels do not have their own parking, and looking for a parking space in this area would be an absolute nightmare.
We arrived at midday but our room was not available until after 2pm.
We stayed in room 133. The room was very nice - spacious, airy, modern, clean and very comfortable. It was however furnished in a bland, corporate way and did not have a lot of character. We were happy with the room though.
There was a huge, very comfortable bed and a sofa bed made up for our son. The room had a flatscreen television with limited choice of channels and hairdryer but no mini-bar. The bathroom was modern and spacious and had a bath.
We had a bit of a problem with the WiFi and could not get this to work in the room.
The shutters were down when we got there and when I opened them, I discovered we looked out onto a brick wall. I don't think you would get a wonderful view anywhere in this hotel though, due to its location in the old town with the narrow streets all very close together.
The views from the room do not really matter however, when you discover the location of the hotel - it is absolutely perfect for exploring this wonderful city. Juliet's house is about 2 minutes walk away, and the Arena is only a short stroll down a lovely shopping street. The 2 main squares are also no distance away.
Really you could not get a better location for a hotel.
Breakfast was lovely - they had a great selection of breads, pastries, hams, cheeses plus eggs and bacon. There was also a huge selection of teas, coffees and even Prosecco!
We really enjoyed staying here - the staff were helpful and friendly, the room was comfortable, but best of all the location was absolutely perfect.
