Hotels near Parrocchia San Benedetto, Padova

We were 80 persons with school excursion. At check in the receptionist was unfriendly and uncollaborative. They charged us for parking space for bus, which is not usual for the hotel guests. On the photo is so called 3 bedroom bed. Next day we were stacked in traffic and when we called to advise them that we may be late for the dinner, we've been told that we will be charged if we are late. Next day they charged us 150 EUR because some guests apparently left cose the kids were too loud. Interesting is that they didn't ask us that money in the morning while check out, we've been asked when we came in afternoon cose bus waited us in the hotel yard. When we asked for the proofs, we didn't got straight answer and two receptionists were talking different story. They tryed to get extra money out of as all the time. Several beds were broken so some kids needed to sleep 2 kids in one bed. In bathroom water was everywhere while taking a shower and in some toilets' water was pouring out while pulling the water. Those photos at Trip Adviser are made with special lance and makes everything looks much better than it is. At receive for parking, says ”Deposite”. Vegeterian dinnneer option was 1 scrambeled egg, french fries and peace of cheap cheese althout they where informed in advance that there was vegeterians in the group. 2nd night was better. Only good thing is a location.

The hotel Donatello is well located across from the city's Basilica di San Antonio, and about 5 minutes from the famous Prato della Valle and 10-15 from the city centre and old city (university, ghetto, daily markets, pedestrian street, etc). From the outside, the hotel looks quite elegant and I suspect that front facing rooms have a nice view. To be honest, however, everything else about the hotel was rather disappointing. Rooms are actually tired and pretty gloomy. The single rooms are extremely small, the doubles are of decent size but tend to overlook blind narrow courtyards and feel rather dark and a bit depressing with a decor that seems stuck in the 1970s. Cleanliness is variable, lighting unpleasant, and whilst beds are decent, the pillows are hard and quite uncomfortable. Breakfast is quite poor. If you come when one of the ladies taking care of the breakfast room are around, they will prepare you a decent coffee from the barista machine, however, if they are not, it is a fairly ghastly automatic machine that uses instant coffee to make ”fake” espressos and cappuccino which is used instead. Juice is a strange watery thing from a machine. The best part are the nice homemade cornetti (croissants filled with jam, cream or chocolate) but apart from them, fruit, salad, bread, etc are all of poor quality and the scrambled eggs and meat are stone cold. There is a toaster which doesn't seem to work well and mediocre bread. Service in the hotel is not very friendly - reception staff ranged from reasonably cordial to barely polite and in one case, outright unpleasant. In short, the place is certainly not horrible, but equally, it doesn't seem too bothered about customers let alone interested in making them want to come back. A bit of a wasted opportunity given the nice location they fail to capitalise on.

The photos of the hotel internally is nothing like it is now so don’t expect what you see. The staff were exceptional, friendly, accommodating and very helpful. Nothing detrimental on their behalf and our room was clean, spacious and the bed was very comfortable.Aircon was ok but doesn’t go below 20 so I think the summer temperatures might have a struggle. However! The wellness centre is closed completely. The pool is closed. for private functions only . The bar closes early. Breakfast is …..well the reviews were not wrong. We tried the restaurant….when it was open ( closed during our visit more than once) set menu, costly and …..like the breakfast, lacking in quantity. The bar has no ambience and the chairs are boardroom style and uncomfortable. This is not our first BW hotel stay but it very nearly could be.

Excellent structure even if a little out of the center as it is a little far from the center. Advantageous because it is less than half an hour walk from the train station, recommended

Before our trip I read a lot of comments that hotel is pretty old and tired. But when we arrived we realized that hotel has been renovated. All the rooms are modern, fresh and cozy. Hotel has good parking, tasty breakfast on the last floor with the nice view. Rooms have comfy beds and balkonies with the good view. Location is not far from the city center and train station. From the last one you can easily reach to Venice. Staff was very helpful and friendly. I can defintelly recomend this hotel for couples and families with kids and grand parents.

Convenient transportation, close to the highway intersection The parking lot is big enough and there are plenty of empty parking spaces Breakfast is quite satisfactory, health can be, enough, the variety is not very rich Tucao, the bathroom exhaust fan is not strong

The hotel staff has a good service attitude and the facilities are relatively complete. However, it is far from the city center. There is only one bus nearby, and the last bus is around 7pm. There is no public transportation available at that time. It is recommended for people who drive.

Hotel located in the peripheral area, easily reachable by urban means. Valencian room with professional and friendly staff; constantly clean and well furnished environments that have made me live for a three-day stay without any regrets (room with double bed, comforts, desk and mini-fridge, The hotel is located near a Chinese restaurant and a few minutes walk from a supermarket with products and prices to be considered; but also other shops and locals.

Con grande rammarico scrivo questa recensione. Siamo clienti dell'Antoniano, io e mio marito, dal 2013, lavoriamo quindi facciamo solo i fine settimana ma in cui ci concediamo tutto massaggi, pranzi cene e late check out; negli anni è stato sempre sinonimo di ottima struttura, con attenzioni verso i propri clienti ed un rapporto qualità prezzo super! Negli anni la qualità è rimasta pressoché immutata fino al cambio di gestione con la quale il declino è stato molto rapido: quantitativo di gente sproporzionato a ciò che riesce a sopportare la struttura, le piscine soprattutto; questo sabato nel pomeriggio ho contato 80 persone nella piscina principale. Lettini appiccicati uno all'altro a voler contenere più persone possibili: il risultato è l'effetto di uno stanzone di ospedale stracolmo, con un forte rumore bambini che urlano genitori che urlano più dei bambini ed ovviamente in questo scenario il relax è totalmente impossibile! Abbiamo provato allora ad optare per la sala relax in cui fino a poco tempo fa c'erano 7-8 lettini adesso sono una ventina ovviamente incollati uno all'altro, con all'interno persone che non hanno evidentemente compreso il concetto di silenzio... quindi anche qui il relax latita! In questo quadro di sovraffollamento generale contribuiscono anche gli esterni all'hotel, mio marito si è trovato con tutto il telo bagnato in cui qualcuno si era asciugato e le sue cose spostate, senza contare che altre volte non siamo riusciti a trovare un lettino disponibile e ci siamo dovuti accomodare su una sedia! Oltre a tutto questo c'è la chiara finalità di voler spillare fino all'ultimo centesimo dai clienti; per fare solo un esempio, il late check out ovvero poter tenere la camera anche il giorno di partenza se fino a qlc mese fa costava 40 euro adesso sono 40 euro per tenerla un paio d'ore in più sennó sono 100! In conclusione: troppa gente, scarsa attenzione verso gli ospiti dell'hotel rispetto agli esterni rendono la struttura appetibile solo a chi vuole passare qualche ora in piscina e nulla più. Se si cerca relax, con dispiacere, devo dire che l'Hotel Antoniano non è più adatto!

Recently renovated is a great and comfortable hotel. Good breakfast and abundant, clean rooms. Internal and external pool. Water is hot but a little too treated.
