Prima verblijf. Receptie erg behulpzaam. Ontbijt vreselijk.
Pros:

De vriendelijkheid van het personeel bij de receptie.

Cons:

Ontbijt. Het brood was niet vers en inferieur. Alles van bedenkelijke kwaliteit. Meubels in de ontbijtkamer waren beschadigd.

Zowel het park Prato Della Valle en de botanische tuin als het centrum met de prachtige fresco’s zijn vanuit het hotel t
Pros:

Prettige ligging aan de rand van het centrum tegenover de grote kerk van de belangrijkste heilige van Padua, S. Anthonius. Voor het hotel is een terras, waar we vanwege het regenachtige geen gebruik van hebben gemaakt.

Cons:

Onze kamer op de tweede verdieping kon wel een opknapbeurt gebruiken, maar het uitzicht maakte veel goed.

Posizione strategica, struttura da rimodernare.
Pros:

Posizione ottima, nelle immediate vicinanze della basilica di Sant’Antonio, a dieci minuti da piazza delle Erbe e in prossimità di taxi e bus/tram.

Cons:

La struttura sente il peso degli anni, in particolare i bagni hanno sanitari, rubinetteria e piastrelle molto datati. Idem per i mobili della camera e l’impianto elettrico. Il frigobar è troppo sfornito (all’arrivo erano presenti una lattina di birra e una bottiglietta d’acqua minerale che non è stata sostituita al momento della pulizia della stanza).

Pros:

Wir haben uns im Hotel Donatello sofort wohlgefühlt und wurden sehr herzlich empfangen. Das Zimmer war gemütlich, sauber und perfekt für unseren kurzen Aufenthalt in Padua. Besonders schön fanden wir die zentrale Lage und die freundliche Atmosphäre im ganzen Hotel.

If I come back to Padua I would stay in the same hotel, the staff is super nice and helpful!
Pros:

The room was good size and had a great bathroom, the view was spectacular, right in front of the church and the plaza. The location of the hotel is perfect, within walking distance of everything.

Cons:

The breakfast is not great, the things kept finishing and they would not bring out more, that happened both days we were there.
