Hotel rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable. Very polite, helpful and smart staff. Hotel is close to the train station, so perfect for day trips to Venice.

The only bad thing was the neighbourhood. Very shady, and seemed unsafe. The hotel staff was extremeley helpful in making us feel comfortable and safe. However, my partner and I couldn't walk out of the hotel at night because of the lack of safety nearby. Very shady men outside.

Stepped off the train, crossed the road and into the hotel, checked in, dropped off bags, left hotel, crossed road, stepped onto train - Venice! simple. Could not ask for a better location, and the double glazed windows drowns out all the noise from everything. Superb breakfast, and we got our laundry done ($$$) - A train strike let us explore Padua, and our last day was back in Venice... but we just laughed at the people struggling with their suitcases wandering around venice...

The laundry was super expensive - could have brought new clothes, but we knew that it would be and we didnt have any other option!

The location was perfect as we were travelling by train to Padova so we could walk to/from the station easily. There are plenty of trams and busses nearby for travel into the centre of the old city. We were also a short walk from a major new conference facility as well. I love the art deco style of the hotel which is largely preserved. Breakfast was really excellent. A superb buffet that was a pleasure to look at! We needed more pillows, which were promptly supplied on request. WiFi worked well. The room was large (as was the en-suite bathroom) and the quiet air-con maintained the room at a steady temperature despite the heatwave outside!

Coffee could have been better. Filter coffee left standing on a hot-plate would have been okay years ago, but times have moved on and there are machines that can do every style (including grinding of the coffee beans). Also, there were no tea or coffee facilities in the room. Although we were out most days at the conference (plus the odd half-day sightseeing), it would have been nice to be able to stream TV channels to the TV from the Internet - that way we would not have been limited to just Italian TV channels. One of the receptionists seemed a little frosty to us, perhaps because we don't speak Italian?

I had an early flight out of Marco Polo Airport so I appreciated the property's close proximity to the trains and buses. There is a direct bus from outside the hotel (150m walk) which is super convenient. For my purposes I just needed 2 nights to see Padua, a day trip to Venice, and the bus to the airport - for me it was perfect.

As a solo female traveller, the location was fine during the day time, however, would not recommend going out at night. Being near a train station I felt as if it was not the safest to be alone after dark.

Really nice hotel with friendly staff. Good breakfast with lots of choices and great coffee. Location is OK, right next to train & bus station but it's very noisy and a long way from the centre of Padova (25-30 minutes walk). There's lots of people hanging around the square at night too so bear that in mind if coming back late (there were also plenty of police around so felt reasonably safe). Got upgraded to a bigger room which was lovely. Great hotel, just expect a lot of noise outside.

Room was incredibly hot and stuffy but the air-conditioning was useless (cut out after a minute or so) and so noisy outside you couldn't leave the windows open. Wasn't really much in the way of bars or restaurants around. Just a couple of kebab shops and a McDonalds next door. Area feels a bit rough too so didn't feel like going too far at night. That's not the hotel's fault though, it's just something to be aware of.

The location is excellent, just cross street from the train station, very convenient for traveling by train. The tram stop is 2-minute walk from the hotel that goes directly to the city center. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They told us all about the city and gave us public transportation information. When we were about to leave the hotel for sightseeing, it was raining, we were talking to ourselves that we should go back to the room to take umbrella, the staff immediately went to the boom behind the reception desk to take two nice umbrellas, "hey, take these." It was heart warming. The room was very clean and comfortable.

None

The best thing about this hotel is the convenient location, if you don’t have a car this place is the best to arrive there from the airport and to travel from there to other cities and also within Padova. I saw some comments about not safe and that’s ridiculous yes there are African immigrants who congregate nearby but they don’t bother anyone. The room was typical size for Italy meaning nothing too large but it’s was very comfortable and clean. The staff is very nice. The breakfast was very nice though we just had it once because with jet lag we were not that hungry in the am. If I go back to Padova I will stay here for sure. Good value

The only minor issue was that there didn’t seem to be a way to control the room temperature even though ours was fine I had want to adjust it a little. Also the shower seemed clogged but I didn’t contact anyone to fix it I just worked with it. It was not major enough for me to get fixed.

For a traveler like me proximity to the station is important. This hotel is perfectly located. Basically just outside the station. I read comments by other guests who did not like the area / people outside the hotel. Apart from the fact that all station neighbourhoods are busy places with lots of people coming and going, the hotel surroundings are not “strange”. One needs to be alert as always when travelling, but that’s all. The hotel staff are kind and helpful. The hotel common areas and the room were spotlessly clean. Breakfast was excellent. I am not into hot cooked breakfasts, but there were also cooked option (for people who commented on that). The variety of offerings was excellent. The room was of good size (high ceilings, too!!!) and it had all things I needed, including two desks (I needed to do some work), power points, and at least one (I don’t remember if 2) USB ports next to the bed. In short, this was a great stay, and next time I am back in Padua I will definitely book here again, if available.

Nothing to dislike.

Stayed 11 days here. Breakfast in the morning until 10am was great way to start the day. Staff always asked if we wanted cappuccino, espresso, macchiato and offered hot chocolate to my daughter. Always had fresh fruit. Kiwis,grapes, watermelon, pineapple, cantaloupe. Delicious warmed croissants. Chocolate, creme, and apricot jam. Tasty meats and cheeses. Special cake of the day. Very pleasant, lovely experience. Front desk had helpful recommendations on everything we were looking for. Try Pizzeria La Pavana nearby! Bus station to Marco Polo airport is easily walkable and a good way to get to and from the airport from the hotel. Very glad to have stayed here.

People loitering out late at night by the McDonald’s in front were a bit sketchy, but no one ever bothered us.

My single room was really comfortable. It happens too often that if you book a single room you end up in something like a shoebox. Not in this hotel! The room was very good and spacious. The hotel is practically across the busy railway station with a lot of traffic passing by, but there was no noise in the room and I could sleep very well. Location is perfect if you depend on a bus and/or a train for your journey. If you are planning to spend a couple of days in Padova then maybe this location is not ideal.

Breakfast room felt like a school canteen and the breakfast itself could have a bit more variety. However, for a one-night stay this is totally unimportant. The hotel is in an older building so the room lacks power outlets.
