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.

Come for the frescoes and more

Hotel Donatello, as with Padua itself, was great. Near St Anthony's and the Botanic Garden, it was easy walking to other sites and sights. The staff were most helpful. Padua alive with Roman and medieval links, including buildings and frescoes. Coffee and food, si!

Exceptionally run hotel

The staff was fantastic. The breakfast was very good in the morning. Probably one of the best experiences at a hotel in Italy. I am 6'6" so any bed I stand in Europe is usually uncomfortable for me, but the room was great and very clean and updated. Not to mention the great location.

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😊
