A nice establishment pretty close to St. Antony's and in the walking distance to the other sites of Padua (local bus no. 6 to the Railway station is very close, the tram is not far). The staff is very professional, helpful and thoughtful, breakfast was very good. Although not exactly modern, the hotel is very clean (one of the cleanest I have ever stayed in Italy).

My room was next to the corridor and the elevator, therefore noisy. As the window was close to that of the corridor, it was not dark enough to sleep comfortably. That would normally be solved with blinds, though the air-condition was not in a good shape and my window had to stay open in a rather hot room. The staff was dealing with it in a very professional manner.

We visited Padova to attend the scientific conference. Hotel staff was very friendly. They were so polite. On our first day, staff discussed to get a idea of the city, public transport and supermarket. Breakfast was amazing. Staff was asking for choices of coffee at the breakfast , it was amazing. Location of the hotel was very nice. There are many restaurants available at walking distance. We visited some Italian restaurants. Nearby PAM supermarket was at walking distance. One Indian restaurant Shiva Indian Takeaway) is also nearby for take away food. One can also order online food from them. The food was amazing with reasonable price. The conference venue was easily reachable from the hotel. City center was also at walking distance. Main bus stop of the Padova city is nearby and reachable by bus. Kiosk shop to buy day tickets for buses was close to hotel venue.

In my point of view as per the price of the hotel, the bathroom is small in size. It would have nicer if the bathroom was bigger. Otherwise cleaning was great in the room as well as in the bathroom. Everyday room and bathroom was cleaned.

This hotel's greatest gems are in its staff. The Reception Team - all friendly. They helped me navigate the whole city on foot or by bus. After 2 days, I have already have an idea where the tourist are. With that I discovered small streets that made me feel I am having an afternoon walk in the medieval times. (Special mention to the reception staff who made me a cappucino on my first day upon I had a long day. Much appreciated.) The breakfast is basic but that is okay. It is worth saying that you get to make your own breakfast everyday by "boiling" your own (dairy) eggs according to your preference. This is actually a good way to save. The hospitable lady manning the breakfast room is so lovely. Very nice to me. You can actually request a Barista-prepared coffee. I love having an espresso every morning. I was able to check-in early. Location is near the Center of the City. I can actually walk from the main train station to the hotel in 30 minutes at most. Very safe place to stay. It does not have any neighboring pubs/bars. Having the 24- hour reception service is very good. Having an air system cooler in the room is a + point. I can also watch their Italian TV channels if you can turn on the English audio option. Hotel also has a luggage storage service in case you have to travel later. I will not hesitate to book here next time.

The bathroom is updated. It took me about a half-hour to work out on how the shower works. Water puddles accumulated on the floor because I cannot control the water coming out of the shower head. Small refrigerator not working.

Location Superb! Convenient to bus stops, in the centre of tourist attractions and close to great bars, cafes and restaurants. Staff Excellent. Professional, genuine, and tried to meet all of our needs. Breakfast Good Italian breakfast with a focus on bread, cakes, biscuits, and buns. Excellent barista. There's a 'cook your own boiled egg station'. Triple room Good size with comfortable beds.

Unfortunately, it is an old hotel with thin walls and seemingly explosive water pipes. If you are a light sleeper, ask for an end room or one on the higher floors. The reception staff were extremely sympathetic and professional when discussing this with us and tried their hardest to offer solutions.

The hotel is well-managed and organized, reflecting a long-standing business tradition. All receptionists are wonderful and courteous, especially the tall young gentleman. Besides excellent knowledge of the city, outstanding communication, and friendliness, he demonstrated helpfulness and a willingness to solve any kind of issue. This young gentleman means a lot to this hotel. Additionally, I commend the hotel's location as well as the cleanliness of the rooms and bathrooms.

I'd like to offer constructive suggestions. It would be great to expand the breakfast options, particularly including warm food like eggs and sausages, and notably missing vegetables like salad. Also, it would be very useful to resolve the noise coming from some external device (right below the window, on the first floor). That's all. Everything else is in line with the hotel's price.

Very clean and appeared well maintained. Nice Italian breakfast. Close to Basilica of St Anthony and tram line. Within walking distance of city center. Staff were very helpful and made excellent recommendations for places to eat nearby. Cost was very good. The hotel is essentially easy to find.

Parking a bit of a challenge. Public parking in front of the hotel was expensive, but hotel parking a bit away was 12 euro per day. Shower temperature was variable. Streets are a bit narrow getting there if you have a large vehicle.

Greatly enjoyed the proximity to the city centre and conference venues, for which I came. Also, the hotel personnel was very friendly and professional. Cleaning service great.

I would have liked to have an iron available more easily, as I traveled for work. However the hotel personnel was very prompt to lead me to an ironing room when needed. Thank you!

Padova is a lovely city and gives you a balance to the frantic pace of Venice. The hotel is in a quiet and very safe area, a little stroll from the bus and train station. The hotel itself has a quiet and dignified atmosphere: the lobby is nice and welcoming and the rooms are spacious, comfortable and well looked after. The breakfast is worth taking: a buffet spread with lots of interesting items as well as delightful service from two lady staff members. The staff at reception were great at offering advice about places to eat: I felt they were talking honestly rather than reeling off standard dives for tourists who know no better. I would happily return here.

Nothing negative to say.

We booked this one day before we arrived so we didn't have very high expectations. Good location for the Botanical Gardens (oldest in the world) and the Basilica of St Anthony. Good value for money, helpful English speaking staff, excellent AC since the high temperature s were in the low 30's C, good breakfast check out is at 11:30 so later than many hotels.

This is not a complaint, but an observation. The paid parking garage is about 100 meters from the hotel, and costs 12 Euros per day (very reasonable in a large city). Some other reviews stated the older part of the hotel needed updating. Maybe, but for the price and location, we were pleased.

The reception lady was very nice and friendly. She told us what to see in Paldova, where to go, when to go, etc... She even drew everything on a map. She was also the bartender at the bar, where she was very good and we had a nice chat with her. There was a small misunderstanding about the booking which was dealt with very smoothly and quickly. Breakfast was also very good. The hotel is within easy walking distance of any attraction or landmark.

Parking is clearly the bottleneck. The accommodation does not have its own car park, there is only one public car park at the entrance, which is paid and very narrow, and it is very difficult to find a free parking space. Parking is also a problem in the area in general.
