Hotel berhampiran Palazzo Roccabonella-Papafava, Padova

I have rarely stayed in such a large room with such unsatisfactory design and contents. Even a basic budget hotel always has a place to stand a suitcase effectively. If a safe is provided,it will always be large enough to hold a camera.Window cills do not have over a one inch gap from the wall ,so admitting unwanted light. Apart from the total omissions, there were a couple of really slovenly management failings.The builders’ red plastic packing wedges between floor and wall fittings were still in place.The bidet was emitting a strong drain smell, as the trap seemed to have dried out through disuse by the occupants , and the housekeeper had failed to run any water through. The things I merely thought very poor for a four star hotel were numerous-the inappropriateness for a hot climate of the giant duvets and clinging soft topped mattresses,the lack of any work space( only “ desk” was occupied by ridiculous flashy kettle),poor bedside tables,and the bathroom - huge,but no bath. The reception staff were not very bright,and gave me a “map” with an incorrect street name at the hotel location! The breakfast had nothing in common with the attributes of the room- just a standard “ International” type with no failures. I am at present in an “Ibis” hotel somewhere even hotter than Padova.It is superior in every way ,except that it fails to look flashy.They even have a map.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Con grande rammarico scrivo questa recensione. Siamo clienti dell'Antoniano, io e mio marito, dal 2013, lavoriamo quindi facciamo solo i fine settimana ma in cui ci concediamo tutto massaggi, pranzi cene e late check out; negli anni è stato sempre sinonimo di ottima struttura, con attenzioni verso i propri clienti ed un rapporto qualità prezzo super! Negli anni la qualità è rimasta pressoché immutata fino al cambio di gestione con la quale il declino è stato molto rapido: quantitativo di gente sproporzionato a ciò che riesce a sopportare la struttura, le piscine soprattutto; questo sabato nel pomeriggio ho contato 80 persone nella piscina principale. Lettini appiccicati uno all'altro a voler contenere più persone possibili: il risultato è l'effetto di uno stanzone di ospedale stracolmo, con un forte rumore bambini che urlano genitori che urlano più dei bambini ed ovviamente in questo scenario il relax è totalmente impossibile! Abbiamo provato allora ad optare per la sala relax in cui fino a poco tempo fa c'erano 7-8 lettini adesso sono una ventina ovviamente incollati uno all'altro, con all'interno persone che non hanno evidentemente compreso il concetto di silenzio... quindi anche qui il relax latita! In questo quadro di sovraffollamento generale contribuiscono anche gli esterni all'hotel, mio marito si è trovato con tutto il telo bagnato in cui qualcuno si era asciugato e le sue cose spostate, senza contare che altre volte non siamo riusciti a trovare un lettino disponibile e ci siamo dovuti accomodare su una sedia! Oltre a tutto questo c'è la chiara finalità di voler spillare fino all'ultimo centesimo dai clienti; per fare solo un esempio, il late check out ovvero poter tenere la camera anche il giorno di partenza se fino a qlc mese fa costava 40 euro adesso sono 40 euro per tenerla un paio d'ore in più sennó sono 100! In conclusione: troppa gente, scarsa attenzione verso gli ospiti dell'hotel rispetto agli esterni rendono la struttura appetibile solo a chi vuole passare qualche ora in piscina e nulla più. Se si cerca relax, con dispiacere, devo dire che l'Hotel Antoniano non è più adatto!

Rinnovata da poco è una hotel grande e accogliente. Colazione buona e abbondante, stanze pulite. Piscina interna ed esterna. L’acqua è calda ma un pò troppo trattata.
