  I've had a super relaxing few days in the hotel, a brief visit just before Christmas. The rooms are big and the beds even bigger and wonderfully comfortable. The complimentary items are plentiful and a nice treat. The hotel is very clean and maintained very well, with high quality features. Sky TV is a welcome addition. The breakfast is varied and caters for all tastes and is served in a room, which I suspect was once a glamorous ballroom, but it is a little tired now but still welcoming. The foyer and bar is impressive, relaxing and encompasses many historic artifacts, which adds to the atmosphere. The staff were professional and helpful, which is always welcome as a solo female traveller. The hotel is in walking distance of the old city, which is spectacular, however a main road runs alongside and numerous crossings have to be navigated to access the ancient attractions. Walking down to the old city was fine in the day, however at night I would advise a taxi. I feel that the general area is being affected by gangs of males, of multi national ethnic groups, all trying to exert dominance. I for one as a solo traveller was scared at night, I despised one group, who found it acceptable to keep spitting (near my feet) without any thoughts of politeness. Avoid McDonald's like the plague! What a shame! I never saw a police officer in four days !!! This however is not a reflection of the hotel. I booked a single room and got basically a queen bed suite.

  We were a party of 4 staying in Hotel Leon d'Oro. Great hotel and ticked all the boxes for us. We included breakfast in our 4 night stay, which was varied, plentiful and delicious. We ate in the hotel restaurant one of the evenings, again great food and worth a visit. This hotel is approximately a 15 minute walk to the main Piazza Erbe, and about a 7 minute walk to the bus station and train station. Easily done by us but if you are doing alot of daytime sightseeing, then out again in the evening, it can seem a bit of a walk. However, we would do it all again because the hotel for us was perfect. All staff were professional and helpful, hotel clean and all bedroom amenities replenished daily, including the towels and sheets changed after only 2 days.

  Booked a three night stay, at the beginning of November, and chose this hotel due to the close proximity to the train station. It is advertised as being 200 metres away, and probably is, as the crow flies, across a very busy dual carriage way, with no pedestrian crossings, but in reality it is about 800 metres, but this was not a big deal. The bed was at least a Super King and was super-comfy, and the room was spacious. I would say that the hotel might have been a 4* standard when it was built (1990 I think), however by today's standard, I would rate it as a 3*. The biggest issue was that the hotel was extremely warm, and I was advised that there was no option of air conditioning, as the hotel only has one generator, and so in the late Autumn and winter months, they opt to have heating. As a result, we had to open the windows at night time, and as a result, mosquitos entered the room and I was bitten all over. After five days, the irritation has almost subsided. The buffet breakfast was ample, but lacking authentic Italian produce (the cherry tomatoes were flavourless) and the trough of scrambled eggs were so over-cooked, they were almost like rubber. Specific breakfast, e.g. omelettes could be ordered, but only available for extra cost. I have never known this before. The bar tender did not have a clue about cocktails, and I had to advise him, and show him where certain spirits were on the shelf. Not his fault, just poor training. One of the worst things, albeit on the face of it minor, was that in the room there were paper cups, for the tea and coffee. In my 40-years of staying in a range of accommodation, from the highest level hotels, to the cheapest bed and breakfast places, I have never encountered this. Not to have proper cups/mugs is really quite shameful, and is a very poor reflection on a hotel, purporting to be a 4*. I would suggest that whoever has made this commercial decision, has made a very poor one. *A shout out to Maria on reception, who was very helpful before our arrival, in recommending where to go, and also the lovely smiley Precious, welcoming us each morning to breakfast.

  It’s been years that I have been coming to Hotel Leon d’oro it’s always good to be back as the hotel is spacious and clean. This one time tho for the first time I tried the breakfast (last few times I got it in the room and it was okay). The breakfast buffet was embarrassingly disgusting!! (It’s bad to say I know but it’s the truth) I never had such a terrible breakfast in my life especially in hotels!! There was not even one thing that was decent, even the coffee was terrible! Please do something about it is such a pity!

  Rooms were great and the staff too. Close to the Verona train station. But a 20min walk to the main proper. And weirdly, my room was very dusty. So I was sneezing non stop. Not sound proof too. Could hear entire conversation of the room next to me.

  I can't say anything bad about this hotel. It could have seen better days but this is what gives it some distinction from the current offer. The prominent hall with it's bar and comfy chair, the room doors, the big reception all say we are …

  I've been here on multiple trips to Verona over the years and I cannot fault the pizza. The dough is super fresh as well as the ingredients. My favourite is the Margherita Di Bufala 2020. Value for money can't be faulted and the courtyard where you dine is atmospheric. Do not miss this restaurant on your next trip to Verona!
