We were in Padua (Padova) for a short time and so we chose a hotel that was close to the train station as we were travelling onto Venice. The Hotel Grand Italia is rated 4 stars so we thought that it would be fine but it actually had a more pleasant ambiance than we expected. The rooms were quite large... More

For a one night stay with being next to the station in mind, this hotel was a pleasant surprise in every aspect: price, value, rooms and staff. A definite yes for this one

Since we have been to Venice several times before, this trip we decided to stay outside of Venice in an area that was conducive to both day trips into Venice and day trips to the other towns of the region. We chose Grand Italia based on proximity to the train station and previous reviews on tripadvisor. As to location, the... More

We stayed here for a week, using it as a base to get to Venice, Vicenza, Verona and Lake Garda as the railway station is directly across the road from the hotel. Rooms were clean and quiet. However, the staff need to lift their game. They never smiled or appeared to want to help you. They did not even know... More

But finally settled, we found the staff friendly and helpful. The room was of good size, and very clean. The major problem is the location,... More

The receptionist was originally polite, but was categorical that he would not allow me to check out at 12:15 pm. Then I saw my room - it was on the... More

This was our third stay at this hotel as it is close to the train station. We are very frequent travelers with, for example, Marriott Platinum status and 80,000 miles on United each year. While the neighborhood deteriorated noticeably since our last visit, the rudeness of the reception staff, especially a very rude lady made our stay very unpleasant. Moreover,... More

You will not be sorry to stay at the Grand Italia, we are train travelers so the location to the the station is fantastic, although when we first sure that the hotel was immediately opposite to the station we were a little concerned that it might be an unpleasant stay with regards to noise, but our room was peaceful.
