Hotel Leopardi in Verona

See the comment Avoid, bed bugs and strange host from Auke N wrote a review Oct 2023 it is still the same. Bed bugs, so many that it can't be the owner doesn't know. Maybe are pigeon fleas/ticks. They are dangerous so it is really not possible to put health at risk for an holiday. We had a rush I hope not other consequences. To avoid this Bed and Breakfast until pest control is done.

Bed bugs, so many that it can't be the owner doesn't know. Unfortunately, I discovered them too late. Hopefully I can kill them/avoid bringing them home. And I didn't book myself, because with so many negative reviews, I would never have chosen this place. To me Christian was nice, but a bit weird. With his quest who arrived later he had words, in Italian, so didn't understand. Avoid, owner should first try to exterminate the bugs, and work on his alcohol problem.

Very very awful The Guy is drunk all the time. The appartment smell bad Christian is very aggressive and intrusif. It's like an horror movie Forgot this reservation its a big fake There is nothing to eat at the breakfast .

Owner was intoxicated upon arrival & became aggressive. Cristian attempted to charge double upon arrival. Unclean spaces. Attempts to charge credit card incorrectly. We left immediately as we felt unsafe.

The apartment is on 4th Floor. The Rooms smell like alcohol and cigarette smoke. There is only one common bathroom. The Owner seemed creepy, also he lives in the same apartment. Whenever he cleant something he only sloppily wiped the floor. We felt unsafe and like our privacy wasn‘t given at all times.

I give him a star because he will not let me put less. It is the horrible place I have visited in Verona. The hotel that is not hotel or hostel, but the flat of a gentleman to say something that rents by night is a bit far from the center, although that's no problem.

My partner and I booked a room in this "hostel" for the low price of € 56 per night. When we arrive at the place, the owner first shows us the floor and our room. The bed was unmade; I had no sheets, dirty bedspreads and no pillow. There already we started badly.

He takes us to the living room to explain the payment theme and so on. It tells us that you have to pay more than the fees have gone up and that booking has not updated them, which would be € 3 more per person plus cleaning fees € 10, in total almost € 75. Which seems weird because booking already charged us € 40 and the fees were already paid, we should only pay at the hostel € 16. When we tell him that we had already paid € 40 he tells us to show him the bank statement of having paid for the reservation that he does not believe us and that we are cheating him. After having been taught by my partner, the payment in the account tells us again that because we have paid booking to booking instead of him. He tells us again and again that the amount is what we have to pay him. When we disagree, we say that we do not want the room and then it becomes more furious. When we get up to leave, he tells us that the reservation can be canceled free of charge but before paying € 20 to him. We tell him that we do not have money and he tells us to pay him with a credit card, we say no again, he insists on us again in such a way that he would not let us leave the house. Until we finally got out of there. It has been a horror, we have felt cheated and cheated. I've had a horrible fear. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT FOR NOTHING.

Le doy una estrella porque no me deja ponerle menos. Es el lugar mas horrible que he pisado en Verona. El hotel que no es hotel ni hostal, sino el piso de un caballero por decirle algo que alquila por noche se encuentra un poco lejos del centro, aunque eso no es problema.

Mi pareja y yo hicimos la reserva de una habitación en este "hostal" por el módico precio de 56€ la noche. Cuando llegamos al lugar, el propietario lo primero que hace es enseñarnos el piso y nuestra habitación. La cama estaba sin hacer; no tenía sábanas, las colchas sucias y sin almohada. Hay ya empezamos mal.

Nos lleva al salón para explicarnos el tema pago y demás. Nos dice que hay que pagar más que las tasas han subido y que booking no las tiene actualizadas, que seria 3€ más por persona más las tasas de limpieza 10€, en total casi 75€. El cual nos parece raro porque booking ya nos cobró 40€ y las tasas ya estaban pagadas, solo deberíamos de pagar en el hostal 16€. Cuando le decimos que ya habíamos pagado 40€ nos dice que le enseñemos el extracto del banco de haber pagado la reserva que no nos cree y que le estamos engañando. Tras haberle enseñado mi pareja el pago en la cuenta vuelve a decirnos que porque booking le hemos pagado a booking en vez de a él. Nos vuelve a decir varias veces que el importe es ese que debemos pagarle. Al ponernos en desacuerdo le decimos que no queremos la habitación y acto seguido se pone más furioso. Cuando nos levantamos para irnos nos dice que la reserva se puede anular gratuitamente pero antes pagándole 20€ a él. Le decimos que no tenemos dinero y nos dice que le paguemos con tarjeta de crédito, volvemos a decirle que no, nos vuelve a insistir de tal manera que no nos dejaba irnos de la casa. Hasta que por fin pudimos salir de allí. Ha sido un horror, nos hemos sentido engañados y estafados. He pasado un miedo horrible. NO LO RECOMIENDO PARA NADA.

The owner made us wait outside in the cold for an hour before letting us in, we talked to another resident of the building who said that this happens regularly.
When he finally let us in he was slurring his words and he seemed drunk, he took another hour to check us in, he prepared our room while we waited in the dining room (what was he doing while we waited?).
There was a sign on the door of our room telling us that it was 5 euro to use the air conditioning (what are we paying 45 euro for?) There was another sign on the bathroom door saying that we could only use it for 15 minutes at a time (a bit unwelcoming).
The room was beautiful! Wonderful old Italian furniture with paintings on the wall.
The bed was a wooden frame with an old metal fold out bed in the middle (not attached to eachother), it wasn't uncomfortable.
Breakfast was half a packaged croissant (half for me and half for my girlfriend), and some stale bread and butter. He said he would give us a discount but just gave us some change from his pocket and told us to buy a croissant from the shop.
As we left he accused us of breaking the bed off the frame (when of course it was two separate unattached parts). I see from other reviews that he has a habit of over charging peoples cards, I'm waiting for this to happen to me now and I will dispute it.
Don't go to this hotel, the owner is crazy, a drunk and a con man. You'd be better off sleeping on the streets!
