Hotel berhampiran Circolo Arci XXV Aprile, Padova

The hotel Donatello is well located across from the city's Basilica di San Antonio, and about 5 minutes from the famous Prato della Valle and 10-15 from the city centre and old city (university, ghetto, daily markets, pedestrian street, etc). From the outside, the hotel looks quite elegant and I suspect that front facing rooms have a nice view. To be honest, however, everything else about the hotel was rather disappointing. Rooms are actually tired and pretty gloomy. The single rooms are extremely small, the doubles are of decent size but tend to overlook blind narrow courtyards and feel rather dark and a bit depressing with a decor that seems stuck in the 1970s. Cleanliness is variable, lighting unpleasant, and whilst beds are decent, the pillows are hard and quite uncomfortable. Breakfast is quite poor. If you come when one of the ladies taking care of the breakfast room are around, they will prepare you a decent coffee from the barista machine, however, if they are not, it is a fairly ghastly automatic machine that uses instant coffee to make ”fake” espressos and cappuccino which is used instead. Juice is a strange watery thing from a machine. The best part are the nice homemade cornetti (croissants filled with jam, cream or chocolate) but apart from them, fruit, salad, bread, etc are all of poor quality and the scrambled eggs and meat are stone cold. There is a toaster which doesn't seem to work well and mediocre bread. Service in the hotel is not very friendly - reception staff ranged from reasonably cordial to barely polite and in one case, outright unpleasant. In short, the place is certainly not horrible, but equally, it doesn't seem too bothered about customers let alone interested in making them want to come back. A bit of a wasted opportunity given the nice location they fail to capitalise on.

Останавливалась на ночь второй раз. Номер не понравился- дверь в ванную не открывалась, в отсеке под холодильник - мини-холодильник отсутствовал.Чисто. Окна выходили на стоянку. Шумно. Звукоизоляция страдает. Соседи ночью мешали спать.

Before our trip I read a lot of comments that hotel is pretty old and tired. But when we arrived we realized that hotel has been renovated. All the rooms are modern, fresh and cozy. Hotel has good parking, tasty breakfast on the last floor with the nice view. Rooms have comfy beds and balkonies with the good view. Location is not far from the city center and train station. From the last one you can easily reach to Venice. Staff was very helpful and friendly. I can defintelly recomend this hotel for couples and families with kids and grand parents.

This is one of the nicest places we stayed in Italy but it had one extreme problem...they turn off the air conditioning in ALL the rooms Oct 1st. We stayed mid October. Our room got to 30 celcius (86 degrees f) and they couldnt turn on the air. We were told it was winter time and the air is off and cannot be turned on. I couldnt sleep so I opened the window only to have to kill many many flying bugs. The bugs just keep flying in. I had to close the window and endoure the heat. I was part of a group and EVERYONE (at least 15 couples) complained about the heat, but the employees couldnt do anything about it. Traveler beware...after Oct 1st, if its hot, your going to cook in these rooms.

The Best Western Plus location was very close to all of the activities we had planned for our quick visit to Padova. The hotel is clean, modern, updated, with the convenience of breakfast served daily. Staff are extremely helpful. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Location is horrible. Need reception to call a 🚕 to go out each time if you do not have a car. Room is ok. Staff members are friendly.

I spent one night at this hotel and I really liked it here. My room was spacious and clean, it was quiet here, no noise from the hallway. The breakfast was standard, there was a lot of fruit and pastries. Check in and check out was quick and staff friendly. Bonus: there was a huge supermarket right across the street.

Hotel situo in zona periferica, facilmente raggiungibile con i mezzi urbani. Locale di valenza, con personale professionale e gentile; ambienti costantemente puliti e ben arredati che mi hanno fatto vivere una permanenza di tre giorni senza alcun rimpianto (camera con letto matrimoniale, comodini, scrivania e mini frigorifero, più bagno). Vicino a un ristorante cinese e a pochi minuti a piedi da un supermercato con prodotti e prezzi da prendere in considerazione; ma anche altri vari negozi e locali.
