Overall, I had a very nice stay at NH Padova. The hotel is a 15-minute walk or 8-minute bus ride from the Padova train station. There is also a direct bus that connects from the train station to the Venice Marco Polo airport. The room was large, clean, and quiet. Contrary to others who find the hotel "dated," I was satisfied with the interior. The complimentary breakfast was expansive, with a beautiful 12th-storey view over the city. My only dissatisfaction was with the check-in. Although there were seven people behind the counter, only one, Luca, was helping guests, who had formed a line. Luca was doing a cheerful, efficient job, but I wondered why no one else seemed to be helping.
