If you're visiting the basilica of Saint Anthony, this is the best choice. It's across the street from the basilica. Clean, newly renovated. Only one complaint-- there are no easily accessible electric outlets in the rooms

Absolutely lovely location diagonal from the basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua. Large room with beautiful windows. Terrific breakfast! Our only difficulty was parking, which was a bit distant. We would definitely stay there again.

After finding the location of the property. It was close to the public transport system with connections to rail station. The property staff were friendly and answered all our questions. The hotel and room were very clean and comfortable. I will recommend this location to family and friends if they travel to and stay in Padua.

The staff was friendly and the breakfast was good. Inside is very clean. Looks like an old barn turned into a hotel. Surrounding gives a feeling that you are not safe. Very good food. Hard to find transport to get to this place. After we checked in only we found out that there's a free shuttle from and to the airport. good for a short stay.

Ideal location close to the old city basilica and other landmarks. Staff were great and very helpful. Lots of restaurants withing a short walk, from cafe to fine dining. buses and tram stop nearby with regular services. Portico streets aplenty, the heart of Italian architecture

Great place to explore the city. The hotel is on the square where is the cathedral. Excellent service and very nice people. If you travel by car, get in touch with the hotel about directions to the parking. I enjoyed my visit very much and highly recommend the hotel.

The best part about staying in this hotel was that it was so central with access to the center, the big churches, cathedrals and parks. The breakfast was delicious with the best croissants I've ever tasted and great coffee! I loved the charm of this older hotel. The worst was the front desk! The man who first greated us seemed jaded and arrogant. Maybe he was weary of the long, busy tourist summer season that seemed to be unending in spite of autumn. The other guys were very friendly, but gave us poor advice. We wanted to see the lecture hall where Galileo taught and the man sent us to a totally bogus museum that was difficult to find. In general, I found them careless and lazy in trying to understand and direct us. Also, it was definitely a problem that their English and my Italian was so limited. It sounded like they understood, and they spoke clearly enough, but I realized much to my disappointment that they obviously had not understood my requests. Also, trying to follow the map he gave us was impossible. Everything was so tiny and confusing. Trying to use Google Maps was also a nightmare, because I lost service every 10 seconds and it redirected me, and so I kept going circles. Very frustrating.

Adequate hotel in good location.
The hotel is well situated and the bed was comfortable but the a/c had been switched off so the room got stuffy, airless and too warm making for a difficult night’s sleep. There were also mosquitoes that bit my wife and I throughout the night. The breakfast was adequate but the croissants were hard and a little stale.

Not horrible but not great. The a/c was off for the season and we were told to open the window for air. The room is above the bar so noise and of course mosquitoes were a huge problem. The room was small and its layout impossible for two people to move around in easily. We asked for a larger room and told no. However the front desk staff were very helpful with taxis and information.
