Hotel berhampiran Il Capitello Senza Colonna, Padova

The breakfast at this hotel is simply outstanding, providing a delightful start to each day of my stay. The wide variety of dishes catered to all dietary needs and preferences, ensuring that every guest found something to enjoy. From freshly baked pastries to omelettes and a selection of coffees, the breakfast spread was a true culinary delight. The impeccable service provided by the attentive and friendly receptionists ( especially Davide) added an extra touch of warmth to my mornings. They greeted guests with genuine smiles, promptly seating them and ensuring that their dining experience exceeded expectations. The receptionist's attentiveness to detail and willingness to accommodate special requests truly made me feel like a valued guest.

I stayed for 4 nights, booked directly with the hotel for best price, in July 2023, in a single room (no 104). I arrived at about 10 am at the hotel and it was great that the room was ready and I could check in so early in the day, have a shower and then head off to explore Padova. First of all, my room was not a typical single room in an Italian hotel, that is tiny, but a regular one, which was a big plus. The bed was not a double, but not a narrow single bed either, somewhat one in the middle, which was great. The room was properly furnished, if basic. The bathroom was also large by Italian standards, but with a major flaw: the shower was positioned right in the middle of the bathroom, and cordoned off by a plastic shower curtain that was frankly below any standards, not to mention a 4* hotel. Towels were of good quality. I appreciated and used the minibar, safe, AC, TV with decent selection of channels. Both room and bathroom were kept very clean, and the room efficiently serviced every day. Breakfast was good and varied, espresso provided by request. I chose this hotel for my stay in Padua due to its position, right in front of the railway station. It was very useful as I used it as a base to do daily trips by train to Venice and Verona using the fast (RV=Reggio Veloce) and cheap Italian railway (Trenitalia). You can also include Vicenza. Given its proximity to the station there are a lot of less than desirable people hanging around the hotel, mostly immigrants from Africa, but I never felt inconvenienced or threatened in any way. Pay great attention though while in the station while acquiring your train tickets from the automatic ticket machines. The hotel is also very well placed to explore Padova since the tram station for the tram journey to the historic centre, St Anthony’s church (“Il Santo”), and Il Prato is right in front of the hotel. Tram tickets office also just across the street. I was also somehow worried about the noise from the street given that my room was overlooking the main road in front of the station, but the sound insulation was very good, did not have problems with traffic noise. All in all, this is good value for money hotel for exploring Padua, and Veneto at large, I warmly recommend it. If you fly in/ out from Treviso airport (TSF) there is also a direct bus from the bus station located not far from the railway station, at a cheap fare.

Cominciamo con le note positive. - Hotel molto vicino alla fiera (5 minuti a piedi) e ben fornito dai mezzi. I monolocali sono molto accoglienti e ben forniti: sono presenti la tv, la lavastoviglie, il microonde, il lavandino e un tavolo/*****ola molto comodo seppur piccino. Il bagno ha una doccia spaziale con soffione e doccino, ci sono il bagnoschiuma e il sapone per le mani, ci sono gli asciugamani. Consiglio di portarsi l'asciugacapelli perché è presente ma poco potente se avete molti capelli. Il letto per me è stato estremamente comodo ma avviso che il materasso è duro e non a tutti piace. Finestre molto grandi, perfette per rinfrescare le sere d'estate. Doppia tenda (una bianca leggera e l'oscurante), molto comode. Le note negative che, ahimè, sono abbastanza. - Partiamo col dire che è un 4 stelle superior quindi ci si aspetterebbe determinati servizi come il wi fi gratuito nei monolocali che non c'era (abbastanza assurdo nel 2023); un telefono interno collegato alla reception, il telefono c'era ma nessun numero da poter chiamare quindi in caso di bisogno si deve scendere, uscire dal palazzo, attraversare un piccolissimo cortile ed entrare nella struttura principale (questo posso accettarlo in un 2 stelle, non 4) e il kit di benvenuto con spazzolino, dentifricio, shampoo e balsamo. Il frigobar NON è incluso ed è completamente sfornito (una bustina di patatine, due acqua e un succo) alla ”modica” cifra di 3€. La colazione non è inclusa nel prezzo (prezzo che non è assolutamente irrisorio) ma anzi, costa la bellezza di 10€ ed è a buffet. La pulizia delle camere abbastanza scarsa onestamente: gatte di polvere sulle tende, polvere sui davanzali, macchie di caffè sul muro, qualche capello lungo su un paio di asciugamani e nel letto. Non c'erano dei lenzuoli leggeri nell'armadio, assurdo essendo estate e il letto ha una trapunta. Eviterei di descrivere il letto come ”queen bed” perchè potrebbe fuorviare, è semplicemente un letto matrimoniale leggermente stretto. Il personale molto cordiale e gentile anche se sbrigativo e poco esaustivo. Diciamo che, a mio avviso, non vale il prezzo che costa.

Premetto che all’arrivo questo albergo chiede il pagamento anticipato e va bene se è nelle sue linee guide, la camera non è male e nemmeno la struttura con parcheggio sotterraneo, ma il problema serio di questo albergo è il personale, abbiamo chiesto un cuscino più basso dovendo alloggiare 3 notti e se non fosse stato per il signore del turno di notte che me lo ha reperito la mia cervicale ne avrebbe risentito tantissimo. Il bar nonostante il cibo e la sua varietà era buona il personale di una maleducazione unica. La ciliegina sulla torta è arrivata durante l’ultima sera di soggiorno, rientrando in camera cestini non svuotati, pavimento evidentemente non pulito, carta igienica non rimpiazzata e prodotto all’interno della doccia finito, come per dire “ tanto è l’ultima notte”, quando ho fatte le mie rimostranze in modo cortese le due ragazze alla reception maleducate ed insolenti hanno detto che non dipendeva da loro è una delle due è intervenuta dicendo se vuole ora le posso solo cambiare la stanza, premetto che la mia era stata una semplice puntualizzazione. Pertanto visto anche il costo non avrei disdegnato ad avere oltre alla bella struttura personale Educato.

Very clean, spacious rooms with comfortable Beds. Last But not Least: The personnel is very friendly and always ready to make An extra mile. Pay attention to Norman- he is certanly the best waiter I've ever seen. Highly reccomended

We enjoyed our stay here on a quick overnight while traveling from Venice to Florence. When they noticed we were traveling with a family at check in, they upgraded our room from a standard room to a bigger one with 2 beds. Our only issue with this hotel were the mosquitoes in the parking lot. They were bad! I was bitten 3-4 times while unloading the luggage from the car. Once inside the hotel, I noticed I had drug a couple in with me that were clinging to me. This hotel a major mosquito issue and the outside areas need to be treated.

The website was very deceiving. The building was very old, and needed a good overall on the outside. The grounds needed alot of care, I understand during that time of year it would not be up to par but it was neglected and we could not even explore the grounds because there was tape stopping us from walking around. Speaking of the grounds, it is not nestled in the middle of the forest or mountains. You are in the middle of a town with roads all around and traffic could be seen and hear from my window. I did not have a great view. Concerning the room, it was a shock. It was decorated in old style furniture not modern at all. The sitting area was just room enough to sit facing the closet because we could not turn the chair around because the door wouldn't open. We asked for a twin room and received a double bed. There are 2 guests but it doesn't mean we want to sleep in the same bed!! The only good thing was the size of the bathroom. It was spacious and I appreciated that. Double sinks were great. On the site it sates 3 restaurants are on the premise but please not one only opens in the summer months and another was closed. Which we were not informed off. If you want to eat in the restaurant you need to book in advance otherwise you will not have a spot. Another thing we were not told about. This comes to the reception area. The elderly gentleman was a snob. He did not greet us kindly , nor give us any information concerning our treatments we booked. He didn't tell us about the closed restaurant, nor that we needed a reservation. The only positive was that a young woman who worked there was very helpful with whatever questions we had. She also helped to find a reservation at another restaurant when we couldn't get a spot at the hotel. The treatments..... both pools were small and people didn't share the time between each activity. They would spend so much time at one thing and didn't care that people were waiting on line. The turkish bath could fit 4 people and my shower was warmer. The spa could hold 2 and it was very sad. No heat at all. I had a massage booked and a mud bath. I came away from the massage worst than when I entered and even though the mud bath seemed lovely and the polish lady who was in charge was so kind and lovely, I immediately became sick after it and spent the same day in bed with a stomach bug and vomiting. No, I did not enjoy this spa or thermal bath. I would never return. Definitely do not come with children, it is mostly elderly people and the young kids we saw were miserable.

This was my fourth stay in two years. I'm from California, and traveling the distance is well worth it! the facilities are welcoming, luxe, and charming. This hotel has become my top choice over other well-known hot springs hotels like Terme di Saturnia and Indian Springs. The price, staff friendliness, and impressive pools make the property an undiscovered treasure. It feels like coming home every time. And, even when the hotel is completely full, the pools have never been crowded. Plus, it's incredibly easy to reach. It may not benefit me to say this, but don't hesitate to stay here!

Hotel con personale gentilissimo, ottima pulizia, asciugamani in buona spugna grossa e morbida, accappatoio e telo spa ottimi, zona piscine grande, da tornare in primavera per la zona giardino. Spa molto bella, personale molt preparato e gentile, ottimi i prodotti utilizzati. Colazione servita in una grande sala ben apparecchiata, buffet molto abbondante e variegato. Cena servita in sala diversa dalla colazione, buffet antipasti, verdure e dolci abbondante e variegato, cibo molto buono, servizio impeccabile. Camera: nota dolente! Letto comodo ma la stanza non rispecchia una superior 4 stelle per insonorizzazione, posizione televisione e bagno; mi è già stato detto che l'hotel chiuderà da giugno a settembre per ristrutturazione. Accoglienza cani ottima, trovato 2 ciotole in acciaio e un pannetto che poteva essere cuccia o sottociotole (io la cuccia la porto da casa per i suoi odori), sovrapprezzo giusto per il cane. Nel complesso da tornare alla riapertura, dopo la ristrutturazione.

This is a luxury hotel set in Terme Euganee, a place famous for natural thermal springs (since Roman times) and hence there are a lot of hotels in this area, though some are derelict! A big advantage of this hotel is that it is literally a minute walk to the railway station, so it is an ideal base for trips to Venice, Padua (highly.recommended), Bologna, Verona and Florence to name but a few. The hotel has excellent swimming facilities with plentiful sun beds, and a poolside bar, great for lazy days in the sun when you are not travelling to Italian sights. The hotel clientele is mixed, with a lot of Oldies (especially old women) but also with plenty of young couples, families and not-quite-oldies such as ourselves. The.bedrooms are spacious with a good shower and balcony and all necessary facilities. We were here as RCI (timeshare) customers and hence had to pay a sixty Euro fee per person per day for half board. I think they are taking RCI customers for a ride to a certain extent, since dinner is advertised at €35, which means they are charging €25 for breakfast?? Dinner, held in a large, busy dining room that definitely is not intimate, has one or two problems. If you are a meat eater it is ok, though some of the food combinations are a bit strange and several dishes needed a flavoursome sauce. However if you were vegetarian (like my wife) the choices were extremely limited, and often she missed courses completely. However the salad bar and deserts were always very good, food was always plentiful for non-vegetarians, and the service was always quick and friendly. So in all a good place to stay, but perhaps they could polish up their dinner menus, especially for non-meat eaters.
