- Donatello Hotel Padua

Great room (usual crappy Itslian pillows), delicious breakfast, obliging staff, tremendous location - what more could you ask in this delightful city!
This hotel is perfectly okay in many ways - clean and comfortable and in a good location, with a tram stop only a short walk away. As other reviewers have noted, it does have an old feel about it and could do with upgrading the decor and the bathrooms. It is a shame that the breakfasts are so pre-packaged but...

Stayed here for 2 days and found it to be much better than expected especially after reading some of the dire reviews. Past experiences of Italian Hotels have shown me that the star rating dosen't mean very much. We've stayed in 2/3 star hotels that have been more like 4, and 4/5 star have have been drab and grimey pits....

Pros: very helpful staff, great breakfast, good coffee, parking. localisation Cons: lack of ventilation, veeeery slow tap (waited half an hour before filling the bathtub, til the water got cold), didn't like the interior (old, but not nice style), internet only in the lobby, tiny elevator, dark corridors
This hotel was OK for a two-day stay in Padova but it doesn't deserve the four stars (although it is priced as such).
The location is ideal, just opposite the St Antonio Basilica.
However we were disappointed by the breakfast: no hot food, no fresh fruits, and the food on offer was of poor quality.
Also, you hear everything that's...

Have just returned from a week long stay at The Hotel Donatello in Padua. Ideally situated approx 50mts from Basicilla Saint Anthony and 1.3km from bus and rail stations.

An amazing hotel, in the amazing, cozy Padova. The rooms are big, very clean,and with great views. Perfectly located hotel, with very good staff, and a great breakfast.
Perfect location, across from St. Anthony's basilica, 2 steps from everything else including the Scrovengi Chapel, yet you feel as if you're in a small, peaceful town. Excellent accomodations for the money; knowledgable, friendly staff.
Solid 3 star hotel w/free parking (by advance reservation), breakfast, & wifi hard by St Anton and close to public transport. Comfortable rooms w/ a/c. Good breakfast. Good value for money. Nearby tram goes directly to the train station (for Venice or Verona).
