Hotel berhampiran Mille Cose Shop, Padova

Ho soggiornato soltanto per una notte, si trattava di un viaggio di lavoro. Check-in in tarda sera, servizio rapido ed efficiente, camera pulita e spaziosa, molto comoda. Ho anche cenato presso il loro ristorante, cena buonissima e ottimo servizio sia personale di sala che in cucina (visto che siamo arrivati alle 21.30 ci hanno aspettato). Ottima colazione! Super good!

Abbiamo soggiornato, assieme a mia moglie, per due notti in questo hotel. La struttura, moderna e funzionale, si trova appena fuori Padova, in una zona residenziale, ad un paio di chilometri dall'uscita Padova Est dell'autostrada A4. E' in una posizione strategica perché si trova in un luogo tranquillo ma da cui ci si può muovere con molta facilità sia verso il centro di Padova che verso la vicina stazione di Busa di Vigonza per recarsi in treno a Venezia in appena 40 minuti. A tal proposito ringrazio il proprietario per gli ottimi consigli, sia per visitare Padova che per recarci a Venezia. La camera, di recente ristrutturazione, era molto ampia, moderna e perfettamente climatizzata. Il letto (king size) era veramente comodo e tutta la struttura splendidamente pulita. La colazione a buffet offre una grande varietà e qualità, sia per chi ama il dolce che per chi ama il salato. All'esterno c'è un'ampio parcheggio di proprietà, anche se non custodito. I titolari sono stati molto gentili e disponibili. Merita veramente!

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.

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.

My stay was to have been 7 nights- two of those I was not even on property, but still kept my room, while in Venice, in order to keep larger luggage and items I did not need here. The early evening front desk gentleman, is curt, impatient, and then as you walk away says things about you literally behind your back, but so you DO hear him. I was so deeply hurt. All I was asking for was a couple of bottles of water for my room. He was I and my husband are Diamond Status/ have close to a million points accrued with them, with this hotel group, and he treated me so unkindly, that I am literally leaving the property, 3 days early and going elsewhere. IT really set a tone. The restaurant service staff, works sooo hard, but the food is sub par, and a limited repetitive menu. I have been in 3 other properties on this ”Tour Of Italy”, and I simply do not recommend it. Their bar: whereas other properties are all back to functioning normally in a world that has seemingly recovered from Covid, this property has zero bar stools, so you have to stand at the bar, and are not encouraged to stay, and the setting is not at all conducive to enjoying a drink. Rather, they have seating in a BRIGHTLY lit area, seemingly cafeteria style.. which is not conducive to relaxing, and decompressing from your day. However, other Crown Plaza Properties in Italy, do have what would be deemed normal, traditional, bar and lounge settings. SO, what is the problem with this place? This was my birthday trip, and I deeply regret coming here to stay- for soo many reasons. OH, and they were doing construction right across from my room, to the point I could not sleep!!! I called downstairs more than once begging them to stop, that I was sick and needed to rest- they essentially told me ”Too bad”, ”The construction had to continue”, and offered absolutely zero in compensation for the noise and preventing me to sleep.

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.
