Casa Babbuino

Clean room Nice smell in the house and room

Music room was extremely noisy, you couldn’t easily fall asleep. It felt like the neighbours and cars on the street were in the room. Beds and pillows very uncomfortable. Two beds put together with a hole between them. Not comfortable for couples. Also, no duvet pillow for the bed, just two simple sheets covering it, which felt a bit weird. Room was never cleaned in 3 days, they didn’t even change the towels A bit far from the center- 15 mins walking. Nevertheless, the distance wasn’t the real problem, but the area which didn’t feel very safe…plus no restaurants for breakfast ( no breakfast possibility at the place) or lunch. Buuut….the WORST THING by far was the attitude of the woman at the reception (don’t know if she’s the owner or just an employee)…in the first evening we unfortunately forgot the card in the room, leaving us unable to enter the building and the room. When we returned to the hotel and realized that (around 9 pm) of course i called the lady and explained her the situation, asking her to forgive us. I feel entitled to cite her exact words : “ok, i can open you the outside door, BUT HOWEVER…HOW ARE YOU GOING TO ENTER THE ROOM?…BECAUSE I AM QUITE BUSY NOW”. It felt really rude and unprofessional her attitudine and voice tone. Like wanting to “punish us” for bad behaviour. Overall i really don’t understand the good reviews.

All of it 😍

Lovely decor, the room was very large, clean, with a nice view of the terrace, and the bathroom was absolutely splendid. We got a voucher for a breakfast place nearby and communication with the hosts was excellent. Would definitely book again.

I spent 3 nights in the Surf Room & I cannot recommend it highly enough. This guesthouse is a haven especially after sightseeing all day. The room is spacious, clean, comfortable, quiet & nicely decorated. Windows open to the garden courtyard so it was quiet & nice view. Kettle, fridge & TV is always great when travelling solo. You also have access to downstairs kitchen. The bathroom is big with walk in shower & there’s a hairdryer. The owner Marco was helpful & lovely to chat with. If you’re coming to Verona this is the best value for money & only about 700m walk from Vescova train station. Only 15-20 minute walk into old town. Only downside would be there is no lift & my room was on 2nd floor. Didn’t matter to me.

Lovely b&b in Veroneta. If this hotel was in the middle of Verona old city would be perfection but even then it is great and I do recommend it. For people that don’t mind walking it is just 20 mins to the edge of the old city and 15 or so to the train station. Late at night walking alone as a female might feel a bit sketchy but I don’t think it’s dangerous. My biker room was fabulous. Big, cozy, beautifully decorated with lots of attention to detail, cozy, super comfy bed and pillows (something I’d never take for granted-thank you) practical and with a good tv w streaming services, big bathroom and super modern. The perfect room for a long stay! The only thing is that I could hear a lot of noise coming from the apartment above and also water running constantly when they were using the bathroom. There’s a cool desk maybe have some pen and paper-useful. And a print out of the recommendations in each room.

Owners are very helpful when messaged on WhatsApp but the new volunteers shouldn’t be left to manage the B&B if the owners don’t want their rating going down. While they probably do an OK job generally, they provide no introduction or information about the B&B when checking in (e.g. how the kitchen works, who to contact if any issues, etc) they have zero local knowledge so can’t help with any info or recommendations and are usually lounging around in their pijamas without any interest in engaging in conversation about Verona. Merely answer to “hello”. They should also keep the kitchen cleaner and the rubbish bins usable as they were always falling apart. When checking out, one of them saw me struggling to bring the bag down and could not even offer to help. They did not tidy up the room every night and on the last night when they did (because I asked for a new towel) they left the one dirty bowl I had in the room In the middle of the table, I think it could have been a small nice gesture to just taking it to the kitchen. Same as providing some tea which I clearly run out of. It’s never the same as having a paid professional host/employee or the owners looking after the property and guests. Good to give them some proper training.

Great communication upon booking, friendly check-in staff, large room, great amenities, extremely comfortable pillows, lovely bathroom, cool themed rooms, shared kitchen and garden, easy to locate.

Nothing negative to say, only that the room had two beds pushed together as one, which isn’t always the most comfortable if you want to spread out and sleep more in the middle as a single person, but otherwise, zero issues!

Great location. Walkable to Milan central station and Milan Duomo

Foi tudo excelente, atendimento, quarto e limpeza. A única coisa é que os quartos ficam no andar de cima e não tem elevador. Se você estiver com malas pesadas vai ter que fazer um esforço.
