Hotel non all'altezza delle aspettative, tenuto conto del prezzo e della posizione
Pros:

Sicuramente la posizione centrale, sulla piazza del Santo nelle immediate adiacenze della chiesa di S. Antonio

Cons:

Il climatizzatore era troppo rumoroso. La dotazione di prese molto scarsa e non adeguata ai tempi. (mancavano prese shuko e prese USB per la ricarica degli smartphone).
La colazione era piuttosto scarsa, tenuto conto del prezzo

Pros:

Todos os itens normalmente avaliados foram muito bem atendidos. Destaque para recepção, equipe de copa, café da manhã, conforto térmico do quarto, espaço.

Cons:

Nada que macule a imagem do hotel, mas como tanto o quarto quanto o toilet são grandes, penso que a área de chuveiro poderia ser maior.

A quantidade de tomadas elétricas também era pequena.

Ottima esperienza
Pros:

La posizione davanti alla Basilica del Santo, la comodità del letto, la pulizia della stanza, la colazione.

Cons:

Arredamento un pò demodè da rinnovare, così come il bagno. Mancava una presa extra vicino al comodino per poter ricaricare il telefono (ho dovuto staccare la lucina)

Hotel pratique et confortable
Pros:

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le professionnalisme et l'accueil chaleureux de Manuel à la réception. Il parle français, anglais et espagnol ce qui est très pratique pour communiquer avec les touristes étrangers. Il nous a été d'une aide précieuse pour découvrir en toute sécurité Padoue et Venise.
L'emplacement de l'hotel est idéal. Placé juste sur la plaza del santo derrière la basilique de Saint Antoine de Padoue, il est accessible en tramway depuis la gare de trains. En sortant de l'hotel, on peut parcourir le centre ville à pied.

Cons:

Le petit-déjeuner est de bonne qualité mais reste perfectible. Nous aurions préféré retrouver des spécialités italiennes par exemple. Nous avons également regretté l'absence de fruits et de jus frais.

Pros:

Svidjela mi se lokacija odnosno adresa hotela, koja je doslovno preko puta bazilike Svetog Antuna Padovanskog.

Cons:

Soba. Ovo je drugi moj posjet ovom hotelu, prvi puta imali smo sobu sa pogledom na baziliku, a sad sam dobila malenu,zadnju sobu na prvom katu, kojoj je prozor gledao doslovno dva metra u visinu, da nisam mogla ni normalno otvoriti prozor. U postavkama je bila ponuda sobe sa pogledom, ali nije pisalo kakav pogled (ili sam krivo shvatila). Bio je to pogled na dvorište, tako da sam tu malo razočarana, a doslovno imam priliku doći svake godine i osjećati se kao stalni gost, ali ipak to nisam.

Pros:

Wonderful location, the staff were very kind and helpful and the room came with everything needed, nice to know that you can store luggage before and after check-in even though we didn't. The air conditioning was wonderful in the summer heat so I would definitely recommend staying here if you visit in the summer.

Cons:

We had a bath in our room rather than a shower, which was fine other than how long it took to fill up
