Hotels mit Balkonen in Padua

This hotel has many positives. It’s spotlessly clean and well-located, being just an 7-minute drive from the station, and a 10-minute walk from Piazza delle Erbe. The staff were all courteous and professional. There was a decent selection of hot and cold, and savoury and sweet foods for breakfast, the quality of which was excellent. Our room overlooked the courtyard (as we requested), so was protected from traffic noise, which was a boon, as the air-conditioning had been switched off (despite it being relatively warm in the room), necessitating sleeping with the window open. The bed and pillows were very comfy. The one quirk was the ‘style-over-substance’ wardrobe unit, with its heavy metal-mesh sliding door. At first, we didn’t realize that sliding it towards the wall (thus blocking access to the bathroom) exposed a large drawer containing the hair dryer and a safe. (Another reviewer presumably never found this ‘hidden drawer’, as they wrote in their review that there was a ”lack of drawers for shirts and accessories”.) This unit seems to have an inherent design fault: When the heavy metal-mesh door is moved towards the wall, a movement sensor switches on an LED strip light in the wardrobe. When the door is closed, the sensor beam is interrupted, so the light should go off. However, when closed, the door isn’t physically close enough to the sensor to interrupt the beam completely, so, to prevent nuisance tripping, they’ve added a magnetic rod to bridge the air-gap and cover the sensor enough to switch off the light. Unfortunately, this magnetic rod is easily displaced, so if you don’t realize you’ve moved it, the light remains on until the magnetic rod is put back into its correct position. A nuisance if you have to get a maintenance engineer to come and fix it. (Photo. attached.) All in all we had a great stay, and would certainly return.

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.

We enjoyed our stay in the hotel: location is convenient and close to the city center (there is a close-by bus station where you can take the bus to the trains station and/or the city center. The hotel is clean and in a very good condition. Good value for money too.

Das Frühstück in diesem Hotel ist einfach hervorragend, bietet einen angenehmen Start für jeden Tag meines Aufenthalts. Die breite Palette von Gerichten, die allen Ernährungsbedürfnissen und Präferenzen gerecht werden, die sicherstellen, dass jeder Gast etwas gefunden hat, um zu genießen. Von frisch gebackenen Gewürzen bis zu Omelette und einer Auswahl an Kaffees, war das Frühstücksausbreitung eine wahre kulinarische Freude. Der unglaubliche Service der aufmerksamen und freundlichen Empfänger (insbesondere David) fügte mir morgens einen zusätzlichen Touch an Wärme hinzu. Sie begrüßten die Gäste mit echten Lächeln, setzten sie schnell und sorgten dafür, dass ihre Speiseerfahrung die Erwartungen übersteigt. Die Aufmerksamkeit des Empfängers auf die Details und die Bereitschaft, spezielle Anfragen zu begegnen, machte mich wirklich wie ein geschätzter Gast fühlen.

Visited for 2 nights, location ok, a short walk to the old city. Had breakfast one day which was good, plenty of parking at a charge. Room was warm and clean but awful location. Ground floor in a recessed area at the rear of hotel by access to a back door. Very dark, had to have light on at all times, this then meant have to have shutter down all the time to prevent anyone seeing in. Hotel may respond to say we should have raised this as an issue, we were only there 2 nights and spent all day out and about we didn't bother. They shouldn't allocate this room to anyone.

Sehr sauberes, vielleicht etwas kleines Zimmer. Personal äußerst freundlich und hilfreich, auch Englisch sprechend. Frühstück für Italien ungewöhnlich vielseitig, insgesamt ein sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt. Das empfohlene Speiselokal gleich nebenan war ebenfalls ausgezeichnet. Der Zimmerpreis durchaus fair

Für eine Nacht hatten wir die Casa al Carmine in Padua vorgesehen, um auf der Durchreise einen interessanten Zwischenstopp zu haben. Der Weg zum Bahnhof zum Hotel war schätzungsweise 10 Minuten zu Fuss. Durch die Lage am Rande des Stadtzentrums ist es nachts recht ruhig, dennoch ist der Weg in die Altstadt nicht weit. Der Zugang war ein wenig ungewöhnlich und die langen und nüchternen Flure legen ebenso eine ursprüngliche Nutzung des Gebäudes als Wohnheim oder Jugendherberge nahe wie die recht schlichte Dekoration unseres Zimmers. Dieses war aber geräumig und hatte neben einem recht bequemen Bett auch einen Balkon mit schöner Aussicht über die Stadt. Darüber hinaus gibt es noch eine umlaufende Terrasse im obersten Geschoss, was dem Hotel eine sehr ansprechene Note gibt. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und würden auch wieder in die Casa al Carmine einchecken.

The Hotel Europa is only a ten or twelve minute walk from the Padova railway station and is easy to find. The hotel is also only about a ten minute walk to the centre of the old town, with historical sites and shopping, restaurants and bars all being fairly close. Check-in was easy and despite being early by about twenty minutes, the receptionist gave me a room. A double room, it had an independent air-conditioning unit, a safe (which was unfortunately locked when I arrived), plenty plug points, a fridge with two bottles of water and a bathroom with very basic toiletries. The internet wifi worked alright. Rather strangely for a 4 star hotel however, there was no coffee machine/kettle in the room with instant coffee/tea etc. The room was clean and although not luxurious was comfortable enough. Breakfast was of the usual continental style but with the addition of bacon and scrambled or boiled eggs. A few rolls, breads, croissants, pastries, tarts as well as cold meat, cheese, yoghurt, choice of cereals, fruit juice and some fresh fruit. Sounds like a lot, but compared with other hotel breakfast buffets, it was actually quite meagre. No self-service coffee machine (probably a good thing!) but you could ask the staff for a cappucini or whatever. They didn’t actively ask if you wanted a coffee; you had to approach and ask them. Likewise when first entering the restaurant there was no ‘buongiorno” or “good morning”, just a rather sour faced woman asking for your room number. I did ask the receptionist if the safe in my room could be opened so as I could use it and was promised that somebody would come later to fix it but they never did. However having lost my phone charger, I also asked if I could borrow one and the receptionist went into a drawer and gave me one to use. Check-out was quick with another cheery guy at reception. Overall, a bit of a hit or a miss type of place. The receptionists were fine (other than not following up on my request regarding the room safe) but the attitude of the breakfast staff leaves a lot to be desired and I can’t understand a 4 star hotel not having a kettle in the room. At best an average hotel which seemed to me to be more of a 3 than a 4 star. I’ve actually stayed in several better 3 star hotels in Italy than this place. Significantly better!
