"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."

"This is a great place to stay in Padova, conveniently located near all the main attractions. The hotel staff are very friendly, and the on-site parking was easy to use. The rooms were spotless and well maintained."

"Good breakfast, comfortable beds"

"Great value for money. I also liked the friendly helpful staff, they made me feel right at home and welcome, which for a solo traveller is always a big plus. The dinner option for guests is also good value."

"Highly recommend the hotel!!"

"Very good brakfast, quiet and a very helpful reception."

"Room was spacious and well set up, bathroom was clean and big. Lots of food choices including italian, kebabs, KFC, McDs and more, if you need a quick bite without venturing into town. Hotel’s breakfast was a decent array of choices from cold to hot menu items. The train station is a one minute walk from hotel, yet the rooms are quiet, you don’t hear the trains at all. Too many youth and few unsavory characters of various persuasions seem to loiter around Padova and Italy in general, but they don’t panhandle or bother you, so it was fine. I would highly recommend this hotel, we stayed 2 nights and loved it. "

"We loved it, the girls at the reception were absolutely fabulous. Rooms aren’t super new, but very spacious, clean and comfortable. Pools are amazing and the breakfast was delicious."
