Clean and newly renovated rooms with quality fittings, an excellent bathroom but those awful rock hard Italian beds, not exclusive to CQ rooms but favored by most hotels and B and B places in Italy. I can't prove it but have a sneaking suspicion that IKEA might be responsible!||The people that run CQ rooms are helpful and always there or at the end of a phone to answer questions so apart from the beds I cannot fault the actual rooms. Light sleepers might find a room on the second floor a better choice to avoid the noise from early risers or those guests who just must re-arrange the furniture at 0200 whilst wearing high heel shoes, and that's just the male guests, the women re-arrange the furniture in army boots whilst using the hair dryer as well!||||However, it is the location that lets CQ rooms down especially if you are on the rainy side of 50! Situated quite a way from the FS railway station, yes, you could walk there but it is quite a hike and nigh on impossible with suitcases, you will need to budget for an 8 to 14 Euro taxi ride, the price variation takes account of the number of bags for which you are charged extra for. I think the basic fare is around 8 Euro. If you want to take a taxi to the city centre then I guess the fare will be around 16 Euro as it is about twice the distance. There are buses and the excellent Verona Pass which gives you entrance to most city attractions without entrance fee and use of the public transport for a very reasonable one off payment. The buses have only a few seats on them and therefore, if you are elderly or walking disabled then you will find them quite a challenge, Italian bus drivers being what they are!||||Restaurants in the area of CQ rooms are at best very mediocre except for the Sri Lankan restaurant just across the road which has some interesting dishes but limited options and service did come with a genuine smile. There is no breakfast option at CQ rooms and the suggested breakfast bar gets a thumbs down from me.||||CQ Rooms gets excellent rating for its rooms and service and if you are fairly fit and/or willing to travel on public transport CQ rooms are fine for a short stay. Verona can 'be done' on a four day visit and you are unlikely to find better appointed accommodation at this price. Just a pity about the location and...
Read moreVery nice hotel not far from the city center. Plenty of free parking nearby. The rooms have individual entrances and are spacious and modern. Double shower, AC, mini fridge. I liked the pictures that I saw online at the time of booking, but personal impression is even better. As it is a small private establishment, the reception is covered only during certain hours and it is recommended to coordinate your time of arrival with the staff just to make sure someone is there at the time of your arrival. I missed that, but the hotel owner reached out to us via email and we had it all sorted out. The person who met us didn`t speak English, but there were written instructions/useful info left in the room, including bus schedules. Everything is thought through. Very pleasant stay and I would definitely...
Read moreRoom is fantastic! Big comfortable bed, fine sheets, blanket and towel. Huge bathroom with two showers. Everything is clean and functioning. The room is cozy and the heater is great. The owner of the place (Luciana) is fantastic. She gives great tips about the town, how to get to the city centre and offers bikes for free. There's also free wifi and free parking.||The only bad thing is that the place is a little bit far from the city centre (but at least you can have the bike). Another thing is that there is no sign indicating the place. You have to follow the adress and then you arrive at a white small building with rooms. In the door at the parking, you'll find a small paper next to a buzzer that says "reception" and it has a name and a phone number. You should press to call someone to open the...
