The dormitory was huge. There were 2 levels with a total of 12 beds in the dormitory. There was…read moreonly a bathroom in the dormitory. However there are a couple of bathrooms located on the same floor along the corridor. The hostel was very clean and tidy. There were no duvets, only 2 blankets. It was around -2C and it snowed the day before I arrived in Verona. There was only a small radiator on the upper level where my bed was. It was freezing cold! Never in my life had I needed to wear all my jackets and cover myself with blankets to go to sleep. I could not sleep. I kept checking the clock for 6.00am so I that I could leave this freezer room and take the earliest train to my next destination. Frozen song was also playing in my head! It was one of the longest night... The hostel management switched off the lights along the corridors and stairs even before the curfew time of 11.00pm! Just switch them on when you are walking. Check-in: 14:00 - 20:00 Check-out: Until 10:00 The property has a curfew beginning at 11.00pm and there is no lift in the building. It was such a shame that I experienced a bad stay in the hostel. I paid €22 for a freezing night experience. The exterior of the building is lovely though.

La Magnolia is one of the first B&Bs in Verona. It is not too far from the train station. From the…read morestation, it is a little difficult to find, however once you pass the major roads there are actually brown signs directing you to it. It is located in a neighborhood. When you book, the owner asks to tell her when you are to arrive so that she can be present to let you in the locked gates-she lives at a different location. Martina is sweet and knows a little English, Spanish, and French. Her daughter helps her run the business and understands more English. Martina's daughter checked us in and she was wonderful- she gave us a map and circled all the best places to go in Verona- it really did help. We had a private room and private bathroom. At first the shower temperature was freezing but we let them know and they raised the temperature (they had lowered it for children staying there). The air conditioning worked well and there is a tv. There is a bidet in the bathroom and the shower has a rain shower in it! Martina provides you with two towels and two hand towels every day. We were also given small travel sized shampoo and conditioner. There is body wash located in the shower as well. Breakfast was a perfect time to talk to Martina and the other guests. She really does care about you and makes sure that you have enough to eat and are happy. Food includes meat, bread, Nutella, croissants and coffee. Downsides, the outdoor seating looks better in pictures. The WiFi is VERY spotty- be prepared to use your cellular data. Verona also offers free WiFi at certain areas and that didn't even work. The train tracks are also located RIGHT behind the B&B so if you are a light sleeper this is not the place for you. The trains move constantly and every now and then when they stop they sound like someone screaming. I really did enjoy my stay here though it was on the expensive side and I always felt safe walking back after dark.

The good and the bad. This is a hostel, not a bnb, first thing first. I came here with my…read moregirlfriend, and she likes to walk, which is good because it is pretty far from.... everything. 10-15 minutes walking from the train station isn't too bad, but 25 minutes to the center of town gets a bit annoying. Other than that, it is right next to the train tracks, so they keep you up all night. Air conditioning did work, but the wifi didn't. My girlfriend took a cold shower, and couldn't figure out how to get heat. Turns out, they "turned the hot water off because there was kids staying there before us".... ummmm, ok? I guess? Not really a great reassurance, but whatever. The owner seemed very friendly, although she spoke veryyyyyyy little English. The daughter was great as well, and spoke more English. Apparently that is a thing (helpful tip incoming): older generations speak Italian, and then also are taught other languages like French and German or Spanish, while younger generations are taught Italian and English. And breakfast was included, small breakfast.... kitchen pastries and coffee, some cereal. All in all, a good experience, but bad location.
