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😊

If you're visiting the basilica of Saint Anthony, this is the best choice. It's across the street from the basilica.
Clean, newly renovated.
Only one complaint-- there are no easily accessible electric outlets in the rooms

A great location close to many interesting sites and places to eat. Our room faced onto the quiet street overlooking a little cafe opposite. Our double room was clean and well maintained.

Absolutely lovely location diagonal from the basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua. Large room with beautiful windows. Terrific breakfast! Our only difficulty was parking, which was a bit distant. We would definitely stay there again.

After finding the location of the property. It was close to the public transport system with connections to rail station. The property staff were friendly and answered all our questions. The hotel and room were very clean and comfortable. I will recommend this location to family and friends if they travel to and stay in Padua.

The staff was friendly and the breakfast was good. Inside is very clean. Looks like an old barn turned into a hotel. Surrounding gives a feeling that you are not safe. Very good food. Hard to find transport to get to this place. After we checked in only we found out that there's a free shuttle from and to the airport. good for a short stay.

Superb location, old city charm
Ideal location close to the old city basilica and other landmarks. Staff were great and very helpful. Lots of restaurants withing a short walk, from cafe to fine dining. buses and tram stop nearby with regular services. Portico streets aplenty, the heart of Italian architecture

bad, very tiny shower cabin and always clogged sink. No air-conditioning, and extraordinarily bad mattress - should be more than enough for bad review
