Hilton Garden Inn Padova City Centre

Wonderful hotel. A little bit of a walk into the centre, which is absolutely fine. In heavy rain it was slightly painful. Hotel was was beautiful and clean and everything we needed was available. I would definitely stay again.🙌🏻

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.
