Hotel berhampiran Pangea Libreria, Padova

La struttura è situata in un'ottima posizione, vicinissima al centro città e altrettanto vicina alle principali arterie viarie. Facile da raggiungere e con doppia possibilità di parcheggio: al chiuso in garage sotterraneo o all'aperto in area riservata e sorvegliata. Personale cordiale e mai invadente, mentre le camere di buona metratura ed i letti molto confortevoli. Bene anche i bagni. Per il resto l'hotel ha un ottimo servizio bar, e un buon ristorante, bella e confortevole la hall e con una palestra ben fornita e a disposizione gratuita per tutti gli ospiti. Ottima esperienza.

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.

Air Conditioning blows warm. Not cold not cool, warm. Front desk informs you to play with the thermostat. Yep… still not working. Switched rooms to AC that was “working”. Same situation and later found many reviews stating the same. Obviously hotel looking to save $$ on thermostat settings. Additionally as American not one channel in English nor the ability to switch languages on the remote. Hotel fine for locals who are not needing Air Conditioner nor English speaking channels. Pass.

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

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.

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.

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.
