Business Hotels in Padua

L'hotel è un po' distante dal centro, ma molto comodo per l'autostrada e per i collegamenti con le zone vicine. La struttura è moderna e funzionale, le camere un po' datate. Nella nostra (510) il condizionatore faceva condensa e pioveva sul comodino....e non è stato possibile riposare per il rumore del frigobar, davvero eccessivo. Lo abbiamo segnalato in reception e hanno fatto il possibile per venirci incontro.

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.

Es gibt hier nichts herausragendes aber auch keine Kritik. Dusche, Bett, sauber, Wifi, A/C und Parkplatz direkt vor der Türe - nach ein paar ZTLs sehr angenehm. Vor der Türe ist eine Bushaltestelle. Meine Erfahrung mit dem ÖPNV aber abschreckend. Zunächst gibt es keinen Fahrplan, sondern der Aushang zeigt, wann der Bus los fährt. Dazu gibt es rechts unten eine Schätzung, wie lange er bis zur konkreten Haltestelle braucht. Soviel zur Theorie. Ich habe hin und zurück je ca. 1 h gewartet und zurück dann ein Taxi genommen (15,- EUR), das aber selbst vor dem Bahnhof nicht leicht zu bekommen war. Also den Bus würde ich gar nicht mehr versuchen, wer hier nächtigt hat eh ein Auto. Und am Bahnhof gibt es ein Parkhaus, falls man einen Tag mit dem Zug nach Venedig will. Wenn man länger unterwegs ist, würde ich mir ein Taxi gönnen. Bei 40 Grad 1 h auf den Bus zu warten ist nicht so richtig Urlaub, wo der Bus aus dem Zentrum zurück fährt, konnte ich nicht herausfinden und der Bahnhof ist schon gegen 22:00 überraschend verlassen. Dafür kann das Hotel nix, die Bushaltestelle gehört aber zur Lage und die würde ich grad mal streichen.

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.

Rezeption ist nett und alle Einrichtungen sind gut .... Aber Frühstück sollte mehr mit Waren und Dienstleistungen ... zu befassen sein Während ich blieb , Gruppentouren wie Chinesen und Lateinamerikaner machen Restaurants zerstört und Hotel kann nicht antworten ..

Wir genossen unsere Aufenthalte im Hotel: Lage ist bequem und nahe dem Stadtzentrum (Es gibt eine nahe gelegene Busstation, wo Sie den Bus zum Bahnhof und/oder Stadtzentrum nehmen können. Das Hotel ist sauber und in sehr guter Lage. Guter Preis auch für Geld.

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.

Sehr saubere, geräumige Zimmer mit komfortablen Betten. Letztes Aber nicht zuletzt: Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und immer bereit, einen zusätzlichen Meilenstein zu machen. Achtung Norman - er ist sicherlich der beste Pflegemann, den ich je gesehen habe. Sehr empfohlen

We were only there for a night. We have a quadruple room which is separated through a sliding door. At check in time the room were ready, it was clean and okay. The kettle was there with instant coffee, tea, sugar and 2 paper cups. More you could ask at the reception. At night the room with the twin bed were suddenly smell like cigarette. As a non smoking family, with a child which has asthma, not a good sign. The smell was so intensive, that it was impossible to sleep. I would say the window has bad isolation. They were fully booked, but at least after begging hard i could get an extra room for my asthmatic child at midnight. Try to get the room with odd number, they are definitely quieter.

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.
