Hotel Donatello

0ttima posizione, personale gentilissimo, garage al coperto nel seminterrato dell'albergo e con la protezione di sant'Antonio!

El señor Eduardo fue excelente con nosotros. Solo espero que en próxima visita tengamos habitación sin tener que subir escaleras.

Hôtel très bien placé, face à la basilique St À. De Padoue. Parking de l’hôtel quasi inexistant sinon parking assez loin à pied et 15€/jour. Personnel très aimable et serviable. Les draps étaient moyens, une lampe cassée et la chambre et salle de bain méritent une bonne renovation

Great place to explore the city. The hotel is on the square where is the cathedral. Excellent service and very nice people. If you travel by car, get in touch with the hotel about directions to the parking. I enjoyed my visit very much and highly recommend the hotel.

Positivo: colazione e camera. Negativo: camera con scale extra e senza ascensore (complicato per i bagagli), bagno senza acqua calda per due giorni, informazioni contrastanti sui posti auto disponibili in hotel.

Dov'è era collocata la mia stanza non c'era l'ascensore e la scala molto stretta.

Terrific location across from the cathedral square and walkable to many ships, restaurants and attractions. We also took public transport (tram plus train)to Venice for the day. Parking garage was very small but it helps to not have a car in Padua.

As everyone knows the location is the best possible. I liked the decor , ac worked well, beds were comfortable. The parking is a problem in the city center but the staff could do a better job to help customers. For example they could inform you that for a few minutes you could park in front of their garage, then provide you with a map( instead of just a typed paper with instructions of where to park); we were driving around for an hour and couldn’t find the recommended parking space then we drove back to the hotel and then the staff came out to help( phone from USA was not working here) The breakfast was very basic and probably the worst In a string of hotels we have visited this summer; I would prefer to pay 10 euros more and have a nicer breakfast with fresh fruits , better coffee etc. The price of the hotel was very low by comparison; the view from the hotel was great; it looks like it was renovated not long ago I would like to mention the helpful Eloy who is from Peru and went out of his way to help us. I would stay again here😊

O hotel em si é bem localizado ao lado da Basílica. O chuveiro é bem incômodo pois é do tipo “toma banho na banheira”, o que não me parece higiênico. Café da manhã regular. O que me fez cadastrar esse hotel como “nesse nunca mais” foi o descaso do staff com relação a te explicar como chegar lá. Fui de carro e telefonei porque sabia que lá é uma região de tráfego restrito. O atendente não fez nada mais do que me perguntar se eu tinha reservado estacionamento. Me deu zero orientação em como chegar ao hotel evitando a ZTL. Conclusão…entrei na ZTL e eles alegam que não podem fazer nada. Agora é esperar a multa. Siena, Florença e Verona fui muito bem orientado. Ponto negativo para Padova que não teve o mínimo cuidado em orientar seu hóspede.

Very central and convenient. Being renovated so noisy during day

Very helpful staff at reception. Clean building and room. Bathroom little dated but not an issue. I would recommend

Personale gentile, albergo pulito, camera spaziosa e ben tenuta. Posizione molto bella.

After finding the location of the property. It was close to the public transport system with connections to rail station. The property staff were friendly and answered all our questions. The hotel and room were very clean and comfortable. I will recommend this location to family and friends if they travel to and stay in Padua.

Sehr schönes Hotel, direkt gegenüber der Basilika! Das Personal war sehr freundlich, entgegenkommend und hilfsbereit. Mein Einzelzimmer war gut ausgestattet, das Bett war bequem und das Badezimmer hatte eine angenehme Größe. Alles war sehr sauber. Auch das Frühstück war gut und lecker, Cappuccino wurde auf Wunsch frisch zubereitet. Allerdings gab es auch kleinere Mängel: mein Zimmer bot keinerlei Aussicht und hatte nur ein Fenster zu einem Lichtschacht, der Toilettensitz war gebrochen und mit Klebeband geklebt, an einer Stelle in der Wand war ein Stück Putz herausgebrochen und es waren nur sehr wenige Steckdosen vorhanden, so dass ich mein Mobiltelefon im Bad laden musste. Eine Klimaanlage fehlte bzw. war defekt, was im Hochsommer ein ziemliches Problem gewesen wäre. Insgesamt überwogen aber die Vorteile und ich habe mich wohlgefühlt.

It seems like this used to be a very nice property, but it's showing its age. Dead bugs were splattered all over our room's walls, which makes sense because we had to have killed 15+ mosquitos in our room. Didn't get them all because we were bit multiple times overnight. When we asked the front desk about it, they said mosquitos were normal and gave us an expired bug plug in (which didn't help). Air conditioner was barely functional; I can't imagine staying here in the hotter months. Front desk staff was very polite; food staff significantly less so. Breakfast was sparse, as food was not replenished after previous guests ate it. The only reason I would maybe recommend staying here is the proximity to the Basilica of Saint Anthony.

Das Hotel hat eine Perfekte Lage. Mitten im Zentrum. Wenn man Glück hat, so wie wir 😀, bekommt man ein Zimmer mit Blick auf den Dom. Perfekt. Das Personal, besonders der Herr am Empfang, besonders freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das war’s aber dann auch schon. Das ganze Haus, wurde dem Anschein nach noch nie renoviert. Die Zimmer sind abgewohnt und nicht sehr sauber. Im Bad stehen abgeschlagene Möbel, die Duschkabine rostet vor sich hin. Der im Bad befindliche Fön funktioniert nur wenn man ihn mit beiden Händen irgendwie zusammenhält. Die Teppichböden müssten schon längst getauscht werden. Das Haus ist auch sehr hellhörig. Ich wurde öfters geweckt, durch Gäste die sich unterhaltend zu ihren Zimmern bewegten. Auch vom Tischrücken im Frühstücksraum wurden wir geweckt. Ich denke dieses Hotel kann man auslassen. Leider ….

Struttura rinnovata, personale attento e prima colazione soddisfacente. Ottima la pulizia.

We love the location and friendly staff. But the ceiling in our room showed major water damage. It got very warm and air conditioning wasn’t on. They did give us a fan. The breakfast was disappointing.

Excellent location! Across from Cathedral of Saint Anthony. Our triple room was great with the 3rd person having almost a private room. Comfortable and clean rooms and breakfast more than enough offerings.

The Donatello hotel is in a beautiful spot opposite the Basilica, the staff are warm and welcoming. Breakfast has a nice variety of foods/drinks, and the room has a classic modern feel. Bed is comfortable and the bathroom is clean and roomy.

Excellent location opposite the Basilica and within easy walking distance to attractions, bars, restaurants shops snd links to public transport . The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The rooms were comfortable and very clean although a little outdated Unfortunately, the tap for the bath/shower was difficult to use as very stiff. The shower was fixed in the wall however, there was no shower curtain so had to be hand held. A good choice of foods at breakfast if early. On our second day we arrived at 9.15 and the choices were limited as the food was not replenished when finished. All in all, we had a pleasant stay and would recommend.

Not horrible but not great. The a/c was off for the season and we were told to open the window for air. The room is above the bar so noise and of course mosquitoes were a huge problem. The room was small and its layout impossible for two people to move around in easily. We asked for a larger room and told no. However the front desk staff were very helpful with taxis and information.

Location v good. Front of house good. Comfy bed Bathroom needs updating abd slight smell.

Très bien placé mais chambre un peu vieillotte

There was no AC working, the sealing was peeling from water

AC not working, breakfast good,

Great location, clean and welcoming. Noisy ac

Good location next to the cathedral. Clean property with a good breakfast. I would stay here again although I wouldn’t bother paying extra for the city view room. The windows looked out to a busy outdoor bar/restaurant, so I had to keep the shutters closed anyway.

窓からサンタント聖堂が見え眺めが良い部屋でした。バスタブもあり。 ダブルベットは、やや狭く感じた。 朝食の品数は多くはないが、充分。 コーヒーは、スタッフに別に頼んだほうが美味しい。 駅からトラムで１０分くらい。Santo停留所下車後、徒歩５分くらい。 大きな荷物があるときは、駅からタクシーが便利。

Excellent location, comfortable and friendly helpful staff. Is quite dated and in need of updating. Our room was extremely hot. Hotel advised it was too early in season for air con.

Friendly staff

Great central location and friendly staff.

Reception staff very pleasant and helpful, but staff during breakfast were inefficient and couldn`t keep up with demand.

The best part about staying in this hotel was that it was so central with access to the center, the big churches, cathedrals and parks. The breakfast was delicious with the best croissants I've ever tasted and great coffee! I loved the charm of this older hotel. The worst was the front desk! The man who first greated us seemed jaded and arrogant. Maybe he was weary of the long, busy tourist summer season that seemed to be unending in spite of autumn. The other guys were very friendly, but gave us poor advice. We wanted to see the lecture hall where Galileo taught and the man sent us to a totally bogus museum that was difficult to find. In general, I found them careless and lazy in trying to understand and direct us. Also, it was definitely a problem that their English and my Italian was so limited. It sounded like they understood, and they spoke clearly enough, but I realized much to my disappointment that they obviously had not understood my requests. Also, trying to follow the map he gave us was impossible. Everything was so tiny and confusing. Trying to use Google Maps was also a nightmare, because I lost service every 10 seconds and it redirected me, and so I kept going circles. Very frustrating.

Attentive, friendly and helpful staff. Hotel was very convenient for sight seeing, dining and shopping. A lovely breakfast to start the day. Single traveller

This exceptional hotel is in the very center of Padua, opposite the Basilica. The hotel crew is welcoming and accommodating. When we arrived late, they arranged with the restaurant to wait for us for dinner.

Hotel Donatello was our base of operations for a 5 day trip (Not including the days for flying out and back) to a part of Italy I have long wanted to explore. Our trip saw us explore Vicenza, Firenze, and Padova before moving on to Venice, and this hotel was perfect for that. Well situated with the Basilica di Sant'Antonia di Padova literally on the front doorstep and most of the old city within a 15 minute walk, it perfectly set the tone for the trip. The concierge staff were of great help at all times of day and very friendly, even holding onto our bags after checkout so we could explore the Palazzo del Bo (A highly recommended visit to one of the oldest universities in the world where Galileo was a professor) before moving on to Venice. The room was very comfortable though our room was not very accessible for any wheelchair users due to the nature of the building putting a lot of small steps along corridors. This isn't an issue full-stop for such people however as rooms nearer the elevator were much more accessible. The room itself had a very comfortable en-suite although the shower was more of a head to be used in the bath rather than a free-standing shower. Breakfast each morning was very good with a nice simple continental provided, and other meals easily accessible around either directly outside the restaurant or slightly further afield towards the city centre. Overall a perfect hotel for a stunning visit to a gorgeous city that is off the tourist trail.

Our room appeared to be a work in progress as there was zero art or decor, giving it prison cell vibes. Very poor quality towels and amenities. We are not high maintenance guests and the reception appeared irritated to even check us in. After returning from dinner one evening, they requested to see our room key and identification. That was strange and uncomfortable. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

We had a great stay at Hotel Donatello which is located across the street from St Anthony's Basilica. Most rooms have a view of St Anthony's. Great Restaurants including Al Santo are steps outside the door. Staff was attentive and helpful; we were provided with a box breakfast because of our early departure.

Great location

The hotel is located in a very noisy are. There is a restaurant right below it and the noise went into late hours of the night. Additionally, a shower would be very nice. Other than this, it was great!

Location is really great, as we went there for St Anthony de Padua and the cathedral is just literally across the street.

Great location. Easy walking to sites, shopping and food.

Good hotel facing St Antonys basilica.

Mooi locatie tegenover de basiliek, dus alles op loopafstand.

Location was ideal.

Property is near Basilica so lot of noise at night. Windows are not air tight to stayed up pretty much all night if you are light sleeper like me. Breakfast is mediocre, coffee not that good. The staff was friendly and helpful. Parking is not included even though our reservation said it was. Property is old but maintained well.

Beautiful hotel with quality decor and furnishings. Very welcoming staff and beautifully cooked breakfast included as well as continental breakfast. Accross the road from Saint Anthony Basillica. Lots of coffee shops nearby. I

Reception staff very pleasant and helpful, but staff during breakfast were inefficient and couldn`t keep up with demand.

+excellent location -disappointing breakfast

A beautiful hotel … friendly staff… excellent location. Lovely breakfast!

El hotel está al lado de la Basílica de San Antonio y muy cerca de una parada de tranvía. Es un hotel algo antiguo, pero está bien conservado. El personal de recepción es muy amable. El desayuno tal vez es demasiado sencillo, pero suficiente.

Excellent location for pilgrims like us visiting shrine of St Anthony of Padua. Helpful staff. Clean rooms with comfortable beds. Excellent breakfast. Value for money.

We love the location and friendly staff. But the ceiling in our room showed major water damage. It got very warm and air conditioning wasn’t on. They did give us a fan. The breakfast was disappointing.

An excellent room but not if you have difficulty with stairs. If you do make it clear when booking. Would have liked drink-making facilities in the room. The hotel supplied suggestions for places to eat and I made use of them. The places I tried were good decisions. Breakfasts were a good choice of continental style food and having drinks made to order was excellent. The room was clean and well maintained. Being so close to the Basilica and the historic centre was brilliant. I felt very comfortable as a solo traveller.

Excellent location! Across from Cathedral of Saint Anthony. Our triple room was great with the 3rd person having almost a private room. Comfortable and clean rooms and breakfast more than enough offerings.
