Hotels in der Nähe von Centro Commerciale La Corte, Padova

Location was initially hard to find, but I saw a sign on the street pointing the right way to go. My directions gave two ways to go. The first involved going uphill and there were bikes whizzing by, so it wasn't very good if you have luggage. The other was flat and went by a bunch of people hanging out in the street. I didn't feel threatened but it isn't the best area in this lovely city. I don't know what it's like after dark. Basically, you take a right at the McDonalds, walk down the street past the Ethnic Market (a larger convenience store where I bought Coke Zeros several times) and follow the street around to the roundabout, take a right and go about 2-3 blocks. Staff was pleasant, helped with a safe issue (a prior occupant had left it locked) and kept their cool when I spilled some Coke Zero on the floor when retrieving my luggage that I had left after checking out. Internet was good, safe was a good size, and breakfast was good in terms of quality and quantity. There is a restaurant in the hotel that was closed Sunday night. We were very tired one night and ate there and we were glad that it was available. There isn't a lot around the hotel but it was a short walk to a nice area that had a lot of restaurants . We also were able to walk to a laundromat in the area as well as all of the tourist attractions. One curious thing about the hotel was that the room numbers were on the carpet instead of being on the door.

There was no welcome when we arrived neither were we asked how our stay was at the end. In fact we found the reception quite standoffish apart from a young man (see below) The hotel is tired, we booked a mid range room. A lot of the room was a corridor so completely wasted space. The rollers in the shower screen had come out of the guide, the toilet was constantly running water and there was a strange mark on the toilet seat and the bathroom fittings were definitely not four star standard. We were given one complimentary bottle of water between two of us and one extra pillow between of us for a two night stay. None of the bathroom lotions were replenished after the first night. Everything seemed to have an extra price attached to it which has been complimentary in similar hotels My husband was feeling very ill and asked if he could have a glass of tap water at the bar and was refused. He was told he had to pay for water. (The previous hotel gave a glass of tap water with every drink at the bar so it wouldn’t have been an unreasonable request) Whilst we were in our room at 9am on a Saturday morning there was loud intermittent power drilling in the hotel on and off for about an hour. We felt this was a totally inappropriate time to be doing that sort of work then. There was one positive point,a young man on the desk was very helpful when we asked for directions to the nearest pharmacy. We loved Padova and would highly recommend a stay there just not at this hotel

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.

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.

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.

In Ordnung für ein bis zwei Nächte. Etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Auf dem Zimmer war alles was man benötigt. Kaffeemaschine, Minibar und alles notwendige im Badezimmer. Plus: Dusche und separate Badewanne. Klimaanlage gut eingestellt. ***** großer Screen. Auch ein kostenloser Parkplatz war immer zu finden👍. Na ja, die Hotelbar hatte ich mir etwas anders vorgestellt. Man sitzt hier leider wie in einem Wartesaal, nüchtern und unter Neonlicht. Ein Drink war genug, um die Flucht zu ergreifen 😟. Pluspunkte konnte aber der nette Barkeeper sammeln 👍. Sehr nett, aufmerksam und sympathisch. Aber wenn das Ambiente fehlt…..! Frühstück war o.k., aber kein Highlight. Spiegeleier leider nicht verfügbar, nur etwas unansehnliches Rührei und hartgekochte Eier. Leider eiskalt. Die Bedienung war jedoch immer parat, um einen mit frischen Kaffeespezialitäten zu verwöhnen. Das Restaurant bewerte ich extra. Fazit: Etwas Optimierungsbedarf, aber im Großen und Ganzen o.k.! Liegt außerhalb von Padua Center. Mit dem Auto ca. 1/4 Stunde zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten.

In die Jahre gekommenes Haus, versucht Patina durch dicke Teppiche und teure Stoffe elegant zu überdecken. Mit der Renovierung kommt man nicht hinterher. Das Personal in Livree arbeitet akkurat. Im zu einem fünftel besetzten Frühstückssaal wurden wir an einen Tisch direkt am Buffet gesetzt - Strafe für den Preis? Das langweilige Frühstück ist vielfältig aber das meiste ist aus Packungen. 5☆ ohne Handarbeit? Der Cappuccino ist keiner. Kann ich das Haus empfehlen? Die roten Augen vom Chlor im Thermalwasser sagen : nicht für mich. Es gibt eine Designetage im 5. Stock, da sieht's nett aus.

Küche und Service im Restaurant gut. Außenanlage gepflegt. Unser Zimmer im zweiten Stock war sehr alt und abgelebt. Teppichboden hat unangenehmen Geruch ausgedünstet, der mit Dauerlüften nicht zu entfernen war. Das Bad ist sehr eng und Alt. Das WC hatte kaum Wasser zum Spülen, die Duschwanne war beschädigt und schimmelig. SPA und Saunabereich ist für die Größe des Hotels viel zu klein. Die Luft zum Schneiden wenn bei kaltem Wetter alle drinnen bleiben wollen. Vor drei Jahren wurde der Bereich regelmäßig gereinigt, das wird er jetzt nicht mehr. Dieses Jahr sind Renovierung Arbeite für die alten Zimmer mit Teppichboden geplant, anscheinend auch im SPA Bereich, damit sind die 4 Sterne, dann auch wieder angemessen.

Das kürzlich renovierte Hotel ist groß und gemütlich. Gutes Frühstück und reichhaltiges Frühstück, saubere Zimmer. Innen- und Außenpool. Wasser ist heiß, aber etwas zu behandelt.
