"Hotel Donatello was our base of operations for a 5 day trip (Not including the days for flying out and back) to a part of Italy I have long wanted to explore. Our trip saw us explore Vicenza, Firenze, and Padova before moving on to Venice, and this hotel was perfect for that. Well situated with the Basilica di Sant'Antonia di Padova literally on the front doorstep and most of the old city within a 15 minute walk, it perfectly set the tone for the trip.
The concierge staff were of great help at all times of day and very friendly, even holding onto our bags after checkout so we could explore the Palazzo del Bo (A highly recommended visit to one of the oldest universities in the world where Galileo was a professor) before moving on to Venice.
The room was very comfortable though our room was not very accessible for any wheelchair users due to the nature of the building putting a lot of small steps along corridors. This isn't an issue full-stop for such people however as rooms nearer the elevator were much more accessible. The room itself had a very comfortable en-suite although the shower was more of a head to be used in the bath rather than a free-standing shower.
Breakfast each morning was very good with a nice simple continental provided, and other meals easily accessible around either directly outside the restaurant or slightly further afield towards the city centre.
Overall a perfect hotel for a stunning visit to a gorgeous city that is off the tourist trail."
"This hotel has a perfect central location, has friendly and helpful staff, and it served the best breakfast buffet of our trip!
Our room was spacious and clean, we were a block off the main pedestrian street and in the heart of the historic area. The room was stocked with all of the amenities, something I rarely see nowadays.
Two dings, one of which is beyond the hotel’s scope. First, the room could use a little refreshing; some of the furniture, like the sofa, has seen better days, and, after half an hour, we couldn’t coax hot water out of the tea pot.
Second, there is a rather noisy little bar across the street that overflows onto the sidewalk later in the evening. Fortunately, when we shut the wooden shutters, most of the noise disappeared.
I would definitely return here!"
"This is a great place to stay in Padova, conveniently located near all the main attractions. The hotel staff are very friendly, and the on-site parking was easy to use. The rooms were spotless and well maintained."
Romanesque and Byzantine architecture meld together in the monumental façade of this superb basilica, which was built in the years following St. Anthony’s death.
