I've never written one of these reviews before but I am eternally grateful for the helpful staff.
On my flight over to Italy I had a crown fall out, horror. The staff went out of their way to hook me up with a nearby dentist (who did the job for free). I can't thank them enough!

The hotel was good. I'm an American and have been to Europe several times. Reasonable size rooms. Better than average AC (for Europe). I thought it was quiet (its in an area with effectively no car traffic). Clean and up to date. VERY GOOD location.

Padua is an ancient city. At some point in its long history, hotel Toscanelli may have been well described as "majestic" and have deserved 4 stars. But that must have been a long time ago.

Now, their rooms here are worse than many 2 star hotels. The beds are wiry and far too small. The hot water does not work consistently and neither does the air conditioning.
The carpet and old furniture fill the room with a consistent musty smell.

Just about the only thing that was four star about this hotel, in fact, was the price. But in our case it seems that the hotel staff believe that that price was not high enough. A day after we left they decided to charge our credit card an additional 120 euros, supposedly because we had pushed the bed against the wall and moved two of the drawers out of reach of our 1 year old. So now we have credit card dispute as a souvenir from Padua.

Make the most of your vist to this lovely city. Don't stay in hotel toscanelli.

This hotel is a very quiet, conveniently located in the center of Padova. The breakfast buffet is very good, extensive choices including some hot food. A/C worked well which was a relief in July. The bed was a little hard, but the biggest problem is the WiFi internet. it only works in the lobby and even then it's very slow and uneven. No wired access is available. So if using the Internet is very important to you, you might want to look elsewhere.

This hotel was the only "luxury" property I could find in the center of Padua. The location was, indeed, excellent. The staff was very helpful. The rooms are sufficient but not luxurious. The bathrooms are small but functional (shower stall with a curtain that pulls around it). WiFi is included.
