Didn't plan to stay in this hotel on my recent trip to Padova, but it is the area where I usually do stay, so I was happy to try it out. The room was rather small, and the bathroom even smaller (no tub, only a shower), and the decor was fairly outdated, but it did have some elements in its... More

The hotel Donatello is in a very central location. The staff is friendly and the rooms are good. We asked for a room in the back to be away from the noisy square. Breakfast is ok. Quality to price ratio is good. However, this is not a 4 star hotel and the hotel would need some renovation.

Old fashioned, but pleasantly so. Very central location, everywhere seems to be in walking distance. Four star is pushing things a bit here however and breakfast is rather limited. Parking is a real plus and there is no charge - but this is not a modern garage and is best managed with a small Italian car.

Hotel was clean and comfortable. the staff was very helpful in arranging transportation and directions. When a Taxi was requested it appeared in two minutes at the latest. Near to all sights in the old town. the hotel does remind me of a Europe of the past. If you want a more modern appearance stay elsewhere. If you want good... More

Don't think this hotel rates the four stars on the wall behind reception. Reception staff were a mixed bag; some delightful, others almost surly. Hotel feels a bit shabby; dark hallways, artificial flowers, worn carpet in public spaces. Rooms OK, BUT, room was advertised as having a balcony and view of the duomo. Well, the balcony was about 12 inches... More

This is a solid, reliable, local institution with 1950's, black and white, photographic evidence to prove it, but it is neither drab nor seedy. Quite a modern looking and shiny atrium opens onto various public areas where it is easy to feel relaxed and where the friendly staff deal with requests in a 'no nonsense' professional manner. Upstairs, some of... More

This hotel is perfectly okay in many ways - clean and comfortable and in a good location, with a tram stop only a short walk away. As other reviewers have noted, it does have an old feel about it and could do with upgrading the decor and the bathrooms. It is a shame that the breakfasts are so pre-packaged but... More

Stayed here for 2 days and found it to be much better than expected especially after reading some of the dire reviews. Past experiences of Italian Hotels have shown me that the star rating dosen't mean very much. We've stayed in 2/3 star hotels that have been more like 4, and 4/5 star have have been drab and grimey pits.... More
