Hotels near Padua Central Station, Padova

I stayed for 4 nights, booked directly with the hotel for best price, in July 2023, in a single room (no 104). I arrived at about 10 am at the hotel and it was great that the room was ready and I could check in so early in the day, have a shower and then head off to explore Padova. First of all, my room was not a typical single room in an Italian hotel, that is tiny, but a regular one, which was a big plus. The bed was not a double, but not a narrow single bed either, somewhat one in the middle, which was great. The room was properly furnished, if basic. The bathroom was also large by Italian standards, but with a major flaw: the shower was positioned right in the middle of the bathroom, and cordoned off by a plastic shower curtain that was frankly below any standards, not to mention a 4* hotel. Towels were of good quality. I appreciated and used the minibar, safe, AC, TV with decent selection of channels. Both room and bathroom were kept very clean, and the room efficiently serviced every day. Breakfast was good and varied, espresso provided by request. I chose this hotel for my stay in Padua due to its position, right in front of the railway station. It was very useful as I used it as a base to do daily trips by train to Venice and Verona using the fast (RV=Reggio Veloce) and cheap Italian railway (Trenitalia). You can also include Vicenza. Given its proximity to the station there are a lot of less than desirable people hanging around the hotel, mostly immigrants from Africa, but I never felt inconvenienced or threatened in any way. Pay great attention though while in the station while acquiring your train tickets from the automatic ticket machines. The hotel is also very well placed to explore Padova since the tram station for the tram journey to the historic centre, St Anthony’s church (“Il Santo”), and Il Prato is right in front of the hotel. Tram tickets office also just across the street. I was also somehow worried about the noise from the street given that my room was overlooking the main road in front of the station, but the sound insulation was very good, did not have problems with traffic noise. All in all, this is good value for money hotel for exploring Padua, and Veneto at large, I warmly recommend it. If you fly in/ out from Treviso airport (TSF) there is also a direct bus from the bus station located not far from the railway station, at a cheap fare.

My husband and I booked a family room this year, just for the 2 of us , because that was all that was available - they are that popular! The room was in the newly renovated Galileo annex and it was wonderful: spacious & well-thought-out; the bathroom was great with a roomy fabulous shower, great water pressure & plenty of hot water. There was lots of closet space and storage, too. It was a partitioned studio, really with, in addition to the bedroom area, a sofa that also made into a bed (which we didn’t need.) All of this at a very reasonable rate! There was a heating issue that required a plumber (nothing major, but something that made us very uncomfortable.) The staff moved us to another room as soon as they were able ( it wasn’t easy because they were fully booked!) and I only write about this in order to demonstrate the kindness of the desk staff. Our new room was a double in the same annex; smaller, of course but also well-fitted. The other thing both rooms shared, unfortunately, was very spotty WIFI. If this is of great importance to you, I would suggest booking in the main building or another annex. This is the only reason I’ve given 4 instead of 5 stars. On a very bright note, after Covid the breakfast buffet has returned: plentiful with varied options ( yes, hot eggs! Beautiful, buttery scrambled eggs!) and, if not already included in your room rate, at a very reasonable 8€. And yes - we WILL gladly return!

Hotel is close to the highway and located at the business area, you will need a car if you want to go out for lunch/dinner. The hotel staff makes you feel welcome at check-in, and suggested to park the car in the underground hotel parking – at no cost! The rooms look a bit outdated, the carpet did not look very clean. The bathroom was clean and functional, the bed is positioned as such that it is not in direct line of the flow of the (very effective) air conditioning. Breakfast was buffet style, and offers the typical Italian variety of sweets (I’m not used to eat cake in the morning, but hey, you need to adapt to the local habits.) For us, it was a perfect ‘base’ to visit Padova and for a one day trip to Venice. We left around 8:00 to Venice, and were able to drive to Venice and park in a park house in Tronchetto. No need to book or use a ferry this way!

I assume that when this hotel arrives, it is a good thing if it is in its guidelines, the room is not bad, even the underground parking structure, but the serious problem of this hotel is staff, We asked for a lower coat, having to stay 3 nights and if it was not for the night shift Lord who found it, my cervical would have suffered so much. The bar despite the food and its variety was good for the staff of a unique maleducation. The chilli on the cake arrived during the last night of stay, entering the room of unwallowed baskets, obviously unclean floor, unreplaced hygienic paper and produced in the finished shower, as to say “ so much is the Last night, when I made my shows in a courteous way the two girls at the reception, untreated and insolent said that it was not dependent on them one of the two intervened saying if you want now I can only change her room, I assume that my own was a simple pointing, so, given the cost, I would not have disregarded to have more than the good personal structure of Education.

The structure is located in a very good location, close to the city centre and also close to the main road arteries. Free to reach and with double parking possibilities: closed in underground garage or outdoor in reserved and overseen area. The hotel has a good bar service, a good restaurant, a beautiful and comfortable hall and a well-provided and free gym for all guests. Excellent experience.

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.

This characterful hotel in a quiet street in the centre of Padua. Many of the major tourist sites of interest are nearby with the added bonus of being surrounded by little streets with eateries and cafes. The staff were incredibly helpful, way above and beyond that which we might have expected. It was them who really contributed to making this a gem in the heart of Padua.

The house price is too cheap compared to Venice. Parking is free and there are plenty of parking spaces. You can get on the highway just outside the hotel. It takes 25 minutes to drive to Venice, which is very convenient.
