I recently stayed here and had a very nice experience which would make me want to go back and stay there again when in Padova. The reasons are simple and they are: a) reasonably priced overall, b) friendly and helpful staff, c) run as a small family business- this really makes me want to support these aspects of the society as it is the heartbeat of the local community there, d) close to a number of amenities and public transport- the tram line is very close by so you can access different parts of the city easily. All in all i fully recommend based on my experience.

This was a charming family-run hotel with very helpful and gracious hosts. The room was small and the mattresses a bit hard, however we only staid one night. Breakfast was delicious and convenient (but not included in the room rate). It is in a very good location for taking in Padova's main sites.

Great service, amazing staff and beautiful town!
Excellent! Gianno and his staff are friendly and really care about the customer experience. If I had to do it over again I would stay in this hotel and commute into Venice. That hotels in Venice we're not nearly as wheelchair accessible, and the staff there we're not super empathetic or friendly. The whole town is a slower pace than a place like Venice and definitely family-friendly!
Patience wheelchair accessible room just as described.

Ringrazio del tempo a noi dedicato per la sua gentile recensione. Non so in quale periodo lei abbia soggiornato presso la nostra struttura se coincide con il periodo della fiera dell'auto d'epoca è possibile che il costo sia stato leggermente maggiorato come capita (purtroppo ) in tutte le manifestazioni che portano un notevole flusso di richieste. Questa politica è contraria al nostro senso etico ma ci è imposta dal mondo attuale del mercato e della concorrenza. Ci auguriamo lei abbia trascorso in ogni caso un piacevole soggiorno. Con viva cordialità

I don't recommend this hotel.
It was close to the Basilica of St Anthony, which is why we chose it. The service was non-existent. We couldn't find anywhere to eat at 10pm on a Friday night. The staff was not helpful. The decor was not "art" rather a hodge podge of junk. The toilet didn't flush properly. When checking out, the staff would only allow us to pay taxes in euro rather than put it on a charge. They would not give us directions to get a ticket for a tram/bus other than to say "it is over there."

Ignore the art and sleep well at Hotel al Fagiano
This is not a high end hotel but it provided what was expected for the price. It was clean and well located near the basilica, breakfast fine with great coffee. The only bummer is that the hotel is filled to bursting with the owner’s eclectic art pieces. There is no place to rest your eyes as every inch has been covered or highlighted or enhanced with some recycled substance and I can guarantee your room will sport a massive art installation above the bed. Mine even lit up!

Excellent budget hotel conveniently located
While the room was on the small side, everything was extremely clean. The bed was comfortable, heating worked well, and the Wifi was excellent. The hotel is in a great location, very convenient for walking to all the main centres of attraction. I chose to eat breakfast out except for my last morning (in total I stayed for 4 days) and found several pleasant coffee/pastry shops nearby. Also supermarkets within easy walking distance. Breakfast on the last morning was loaded with sugary foods - but the coffee was excellent.

Delightfully different and very comfortable
After very helpful and friendly service before we ever arrived, we were made welcome by Alfred who showed us to our rooms which were clean and comfortable with excellent showers. Each room is different and thoughtfully decorated, and the entire hotel is decorated with original art created from "found things" that establishes the delightful character of Al Fagiano.

Good location, cheap hotel for short stay, quirky
Room very small for 3 adult girls. One double bed (2 singles pushed together) which is typical of continental Europe and one single with shelve above was in small room called a triple room. You could hit your foot off edge of the single bed on the way to the bathroom if not careful. Breakfast was OK with cereal, fruit, good coffee etc and cost 7euro.

Art?
Poorly decorated, tacky art, old and dated with very basic rooms. The service we got was cold and them seemed anoyed to be talking to us in English. We stayed here to be close to Venice but were foolishly mistaken, its about 45 on the train. No fridge, no kettle pretty much a bed and a tv. Wouldn't recommend anyone stay here not much going for it, this was a poor choice on our behalf donot be fooled, you can get a better place for the money.

Close to Sites
The atmosphere is amazing. It's decorated with art by one of the owners. The staff for the most part are friendly and helpful. However, the older woman who works the front counter often seemed put out by my questions. The hotel is also located near many sites such as the Botanical Garden, the Valle di Prato and St. Anthony's Basilica. The breakfast seemed a bit skimpy for the price: cereal, milk, bread, pastrys, toast, juice and coffee. For future visits, this hotel is 2nd on my list.

Very pleasant hotel 100 meters from Piazza del Santo (Basilica of St Anthony). Rooms are clean, if quirkily decorated. Friendly and helpful staff. Hotel is only a block from the Santo Tram stop at Riv. Businello. Quick access to city center (Palazzo Bo, Palazzo della Ragione) the Scrovegni Chapel, and the train/bus station. Get a 48 or 72 hour Padova Card at the train station Tourist Office includes unlimited use of city trams and buses, free entry to many museums, only 1 EU extra for Scrovegni Chapel (be sure to book a reservation time minimum 24 hours in advance.

Our week in Padua/Venice
The room was spotlessly clean and warm but you can hear other guests especially students. Our kingsize bed was actually two singles put together. The Blue room publicity photos do it justice but the external photos are of the general area, not what you can see from the windows. However it is close to the centre of Padua/Padova so the sites shown are close by. It is about 20-30mins walk from the train and bus stations (7 Euros return by cheapest train to Venice, 8 Euros by bus to Marco Polo airport - Apr2012). Breakfast at the hotel was quoted at 7 Euros (Apr2012). In general, Italian hotels do not have kettles etc and this one is not an exception. Staff were helpful and pleasant. There is a lift. The artwork was not the ordinary landscape/portrait style.

Al Fagiano Hotel - Padua / Padova Italy
This hotel is good on a budget. Nicer than a backpacker type place, but no luxury amenities. The owners are nice and they and thus the hotel have a quirky artistic vibe. There is limited parking, but convenient if it is available as parking is very difficult in the area.
