Stanze per niente insonorizzate. Si sentiva ogni rumore sia interno del hotel sia esterno. Colazione molto deludente: due cose di salato di pessima qualità, succhi annacquati, due cose di dolci. Pulizia delle camere lentissime. Inoltre avevo chiamato per prenotazione del parcheggio ma mi hanno detto che non era vero. La stanza è molto anni 2000 con tendoni pieni di polvere. È caduto un gioco della piccola sotto il letto e abbiamo trovato orecchini etc... Quindi manco avevano pulito. L'unica cosa positiva è la posizione

Buongiorno... Allora iniziamo col dire che la sola ubicazione dell'hotel vale il viaggio a Padova.... Hotel 🏨 centralissimo in piazza del Santo. La camera in dotazione, bella spaziosa con affaccio sulla Basilica nr.108. Personale disponibilissimo,gentile e, a tal proposito, menzione speciale per Fabrizio... Forse,se dovessi trovare una pecca, il bagno con vasca, non proprio di mio gradimento, un po' datato. Ah dimenticavo,colazione dolce/salato caria ed abbondante a buffet, ottima... Vale la pena ritornarci!

窓からサンタント聖堂が見え眺めが良い部屋でした。バスタブもあり。 ダブルベットは、やや狭く感じた。 朝食の品数は多くはないが、充分。 コーヒーは、スタッフに別に頼んだほうが美味しい。 駅からトラムで10分くらい。Santo停留所下車後、徒歩5分くらい。 大きな荷物があるときは、駅からタクシーが便利。

Hotel wiith Great location

We had a great stay at Hotel Donatello which is located across the street from St Anthony's Basilica. Most rooms have a view of St Anthony's. Great Restaurants including Al Santo are steps outside the door. Staff was attentive and helpful; we were provided with a box breakfast because of our early departure.

An excellent room but not if you have difficulty with stairs. If you do make it clear when booking. Would have liked drink-making facilities in the room. The hotel supplied suggestions for places to eat and I made use of them. The places I tried were good decisions. Breakfasts were a good choice of continental style food and having drinks made to order was excellent. The room was clean and well maintained. Being so close to the Basilica and the historic centre was brilliant. I felt very comfortable as a solo traveller.
