I recently spent 2 nights in a single room (#352) in this hotel. I had a nice stay. It was a decent size room for a single person and there was plenty of storage space for clothing, although I did not utilize it. I was really only around late at night to shower and sleep and this hotel worked just fine for that. They have a good variety for breakfast and serve free snacks/drinks from 6-9 p.m., which was nice. I did not have trouble sleeping, although one night there were some people congregating in the hallway and speaking loudly. No big deal. The bathroom was a good size for a single room, although I wish there had been a shower stall instead of just a curtain and the floor -- it gets a bit sloppy with water everywhere. The service was fine, some of the employees speak English (or some), and were nice enough to recommend some local restaurants. I would stay there again.

Maybe it was that our expectations were very low for this hotel, but we thought it was great for our needs.
*** The location was perfect since (coming to Padua and visiting Venice by train especially)
*** Breakfast was really good
*** free interet (30 minutes worth at least)
*** Easy walking distance to town center.
*** Easy 30-40 min $6 train ride to Venice
*** and much cheaper than anything else we could find near Venice
- - - Bit of 'old smoker' scent to the room
- - - Quirky old TV (but who should be watching TV on vacation?)
- - - Very basic toilet & shower, but we had no real problems

I stayed at this hotel while acting as group leader for 45 people. The check-in staff was courteous, but the check OUT staff was NOT! I argued for 15 minutes about leaving our bags there for the morning.

Breakfast was OK, but while I was offered hot coffee from the bar, the rest of the group was told their coffee was in flasks on the table -- which proved to be COLD.

The worst though was the rooms, which were quiet, yes, but I refused to take off my shoes due to the very iffy carpet situation. The bathrooms have not been rennovated since ??? and i seriously debated about whether or not to shower. An ingenious use of towels (enough provided) allowed me to do this, and then put back on my shoes.

There aren't that many great hotels in Padova, but this would be the last on my list.
