Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Location is good - walking to Padua centre or taxi to and from the railway station. Room was comfortable.
Our stay was let down by the breakfast experience - not good. The breakfast service (and adjacent cafe/bar) is run by a 3rd party not the hotel. Breakfast items were put out at start of breakfast service.....and never replenished....if you were the later guests to breakfast then choice was restricted or non-existent. Tables were left uncleared, staff were non-friendly, Fruit on the buffet was tinned, nothing fresh. We, and other guests, complained about the breakfast service.....one reception staff member said "I know what you are going to tell me". Hopefully, these comments have been passed to management and action taken.
Personnel professionnel et sympathique. La vue de la chambre
Frühstück ok, frische Früchte wären besser statt aus der Büchse.
Η τοποθεσία: κοντά σε όλα τα σημεία ενδιαφέροντος Το προσωπικό: ευγενικό, χαμογελαστό κ πρόθυμο να εξυπηρετήσει Το δωμάτιο: άνετο κ καθαρο
L’accueil et la gentillesse du personnel, l’emplacement et la proximité avec le centre ville
Chambre propre, mais un peu vieillot, notamment la salle de bain. Accès en partie via escalier (plusieurs demi-palliers) sans ascenseur.
L’habitació perfecte, neta, el personal súper bé, la situació excel·lent i l’esmorzar perfecte. Tot un 10. Molt recomenable.

The location of the hotel was very good. Our 1st room we booked had a panoramic view of the cathedral. Breakfast was good with a few choices of food.
We had to move out of that room as the bathroom ceiling was about to come down due to a leak from air-conditioning. We were moved to a room with less of a view and smaller. We had no compensation for the inconvenience or disappointment of the style of room.
miesto bolo výhodné, informácie boli dobré , komunikácia Ok

Fantastic central location, quiet room, clean and fresh, with some traditional italian atmosphere. Slept like a baby. Staff pleasant and helpful.
Breakfast was the very generic simple buffet style that is common all around Italy, nothing bad but could be fresher/higher quality.

Camere ampie, vista stupenda, ristrutturazione recente e molto elegante. Camere accessibili tramite ascensore comodo grande e nuovo. Ringraziamo tutti per la disponibilità, cercheremo di tornare sicuramente!

Das Frühstück war enttäuschend. Kein frisches Gemüse, kein frisches Obst
Good basic 3 star hotel, in an excellent location.
The Breakfast was below a reasonable standard. The buffet was not replenished and they had run out of the little that was on offer. The two waitresses tried their best but could not fix the problem. .

Although the hotel looks small from the outside, it's actually quite large. The location is excellent, the staff are very high-quality, solution-oriented, and extremely attentive. Thank you.
The breakfast menu could be expanded, for example by adding sliced tomatoes and cucumbers. On the other hand, the current breakfast menu was also extremely nice and delicious.
Localização e quartos
Perfekte Lage, schönes Zimmer, bequemes Bett, Aussicht auf die Kathedrale, freundliches Personal.
Die Lage war perfekt, der Empfang freundlich, das Zimmer geräumig und sauber.
Das Frühstück war in Ordnung.
Non ho gradito per niente entrare in camera e trovare il bagno sporco, di una pipì sicuramente non fatta da noi e della carta sporca di sangue sicuramente non nostro. La cosa peggiore è che quando ho comunicato l accaduto alla portineria, che ha chiamato il responsabile delle pulizie, questi ha detto che bastava tirare lo scarico. No coment
La cama y las almohadas. También las toallas limpias y ordenadas.
El aire acondicionado era muy bajito. La pieza era muy calurosa.

We had a wonderful stay! The room was very nice, the bed was extremely comfortable, and we really enjoyed our time at your hotel. We found lots of interesting place in the neigborhood.
The only issue we had was with the air conditioning. It was quite difficult to figure out how to turn it off, as the controls were somewhat confusing. Some clear instructions in the room would have been very helpful.

La posizione... Il personale sempre cordiale e disponibile
L’emplacement privilégié.
L’inconvénient d’un parking un peu éloigné.
L'accoglienza è la professionalità del personale, la posizione strategica dell' albergo ci ha permesso di visitare il santuario e tanti altri luoghi di interesse nel minimo dei tempi. La vista al santuario dalla camera è impagabile. Grazie davvero.

Personale molto gentile, camere pulire e colazione molto buona.

Good size room. Breakfast was Ok. Front office staff were OK.
The AC did not work. Temperature in the room was around 28C. AC was not working. When I complained, they offered another room - It appeared that the AC for the whole hotel was not working. Even the reception had fans running. The temperature on that day in Padua was around 35C!!! They should have had some kind of alternate option if the AC failed. Pretty disappointed.
La ubicación es muy buena, justo al lado de la basílica de san antonio. Tanto la habitación como el baño son grandes y espaciosos.
Sehr freundliches und hilfreiches Personal, gutes Frühstück, Lage direkt gegenüber der Basilika des Hl. Antonius (mit Blick in unserem Zimmer auf sie), nicht zum Hotel gehöriges, passables Restaurant gleich nebenan, wohliges Bett

We loved the hotel very close to St Anthony’s Church & Mass every hour. A great breakfast. We were well informed by staff of the area. Thank You to the staff Hotel Donatello

J’ai tout aimé et nous reviendrons.
Chambre spacieuse, extrêmement bien située dans un immeuble historique. Pour quatre personnes nous avons eu une suite avec deux chambre, l’idéal pour une famille.
La Climatisation était bruyante, le petit déjeuner manquait de charme
Location great, and staff were really helpful and friendly. Hotel clean and great value for money. I would recommend this hotel .
Posizione cantralissima
Mucho, muy cómodo, limpio, personal muy agradable y súper profesional
Es una tontería pero hubiera agradecido que hubiesen ofrecido fruta fresca en el desayuno
Très bon séjour
Rien à signalet
Tolle Lage, super freundliches Personal, sehr schöne und große Zimmer.
Convenient
Coffee and tea in the room had to be asked . Fridge was ok not so convinced
Todos os itens normalmente avaliados foram muito bem atendidos. Destaque para recepção, equipe de copa, café da manhã, conforto térmico do quarto, espaço.
Nada que macule a imagem do hotel, mas como tanto o quarto quanto o toilet são grandes, penso que a área de chuveiro poderia ser maior. A quantidade de tomadas elétricas também era pequena.
Sicuramente la posizione centrale, sulla piazza del Santo nelle immediate adiacenze della chiesa di S. Antonio
Il climatizzatore era troppo rumoroso. La dotazione di prese molto scarsa e non adeguata ai tempi. (mancavano prese shuko e prese USB per la ricarica degli smartphone). La colazione era piuttosto scarsa, tenuto conto del prezzo
Pulizia e cordialità personale
Die Lage war perfekt, das Personal großartig, auch beim Frühstück wo es an nichts fehlte (insbesondere der Kaffee war super)
La posizione davanti alla Basilica del Santo, la comodità del letto, la pulizia della stanza, la colazione.
Arredamento un pò demodè da rinnovare, così come il bagno. Mancava una presa extra vicino al comodino per poter ricaricare il telefono (ho dovuto staccare la lucina)
O atendimento dos funcionearios foi muito bom e o café da manhã foi om.
A localização e o atendimento dos funcionários.
Wonderful location, the staff were very kind and helpful and the room came with everything needed, nice to know that you can store luggage before and after check-in even though we didn't. The air conditioning was wonderful in the summer heat so I would definitely recommend staying here if you visit in the summer.
We had a bath in our room rather than a shower, which was fine other than how long it took to fill up
Svidjela mi se lokacija odnosno adresa hotela, koja je doslovno preko puta bazilike Svetog Antuna Padovanskog.
Soba. Ovo je drugi moj posjet ovom hotelu, prvi puta imali smo sobu sa pogledom na baziliku, a sad sam dobila malenu,zadnju sobu na prvom katu, kojoj je prozor gledao doslovno dva metra u visinu, da nisam mogla ni normalno otvoriti prozor. U postavkama je bila ponuda sobe sa pogledom, ali nije pisalo kakav pogled (ili sam krivo shvatila). Bio je to pogled na dvorište, tako da sam tu malo razočarana, a doslovno imam priliku doći svake godine i osjećati se kao stalni gost, ali ipak to nisam.
El colchón
El baño es un poco antiguo y no tiene cortina de ducha
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le professionnalisme et l'accueil chaleureux de Manuel à la réception. Il parle français, anglais et espagnol ce qui est très pratique pour communiquer avec les touristes étrangers. Il nous a été d'une aide précieuse pour découvrir en toute sécurité Padoue et Venise. L'emplacement de l'hotel est idéal. Placé juste sur la plaza del santo derrière la basilique de Saint Antoine de Padoue, il est accessible en tramway depuis la gare de trains. En sortant de l'hotel, on peut parcourir le centre ville à pied.
Le petit-déjeuner est de bonne qualité mais reste perfectible. Nous aurions préféré retrouver des spécialités italiennes par exemple. Nous avons également regretté l'absence de fruits et de jus frais.
Super Lage! Sehr freundliches Personal
Localização e atendimento.
Falta suporte para o chuveiro e cortina ou resguardo na banheira.
Love the old bathroom! Please keep the vibe of the hotel, I loved the style of the room. I saw some reviews about it being dated but that is the reason I wanted to stay because it has so much more character and made my Italian experience feel more authentic. The room was so clean and spotless, the cleaner/s were amazing and deserve a pay rise because the room was spotlessly clean. The room had air con which really helped with the heat as it got quite cool and it was nice to come back to after walking around all day. Would definitely stay here again.
Can’t think of anything!
Location! Right beside il Santo!
The bathroom was a bit worn out.
Ottima colazione
Mancava il garage che per 35 anni era a ns disposizione per lavori in corso

Mc dejun bun, gustos. Camera mare, curată, bine dotată.
Ar fi putut fi legume la micul dejun. In rest, nu am nimic de comentat.
Emplacement central
Wir waren nur 1 Nacht im Donatello, waren aber sehr zufrieden. Das Personal war sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit. Wir konnten in der Früh das Gepäck schon abstellen. Beim Zimmer beziehen war das Gepäck in unserem Zimmer. Die Aussicht passte gut. Das Frühstück gut. Italienisch. Sehr guter Cappuccino. Die Einrichtung nicht die modernste aber alles sehr sehr sauber!!!
Die Matratzen waren etwas hart, was aber kein zu großes Problem war.
Hotel propre Très bon emplacement
Tout était bien

COLAZIONE veramente limite del decente MOLTO MOLTO SCARSA. Erano finite le brioches ,chiesto al cameriere se poteva portare altre brioches:risposta :FINITE FINITE basta domani. Complimenti peggio di così non si può
Todo muy nuevo, la habitacion grande, los muebles acogedores.El ambiente del hotel muy agradable, el servicio y la ubicacion petfectos.
The location and the kidness of the staff.
The breakfast is a serious health hazard so is the so called staff who manages it.I would not even call this breakfast at this point. Days old dry bread, no fruits or vegetables, week old eggs and the cold cuts looked a bit discoloured. If something ran out they did not refill. Guys do better than this.
Très bon accueil. Excellent emplacement pour visiter à pied. Chambre confortable.
Salle de bain un peu exigüe. Petit déjeuner fourni en pâtisserie mais aucun vrai pain. Personnel du petit déjeuner pas très réactif.
Posizione strategica
Tutto ottimo
We had a very warm welcome when checking in and out. The hotel is in a great location across the road from St Anthony’s cathedral and very close to all the attractions in the old town. The room and bathroom were very big and spotlessly clean. As my Italian is minimal, Fabrizio very helpfully phoned our favourite restaurant and made a booking for us.
Limited selection for breakfast and sadly when we were staying the coffee machine wasn’t working very well.
Top-Lage, Großes, sauberes Zimmer mit guter AC, Restaurant.
Eher mittelmäßiges Frühstück, wenig ambitioniertes Personal beim Frühstück. Parken nur am Prato del Valle möglich, 750m entfernt.
Snídaně byla dostačující. Skvělá lokalita. Úžasní pánové na recepci. Chtěli jsme vyzkoušet jiný hotel, ale k vůli pánům jsme opět zvolili hotel Donatello!

Colazione monotona e con poca scelta. Cosa grave è che finiti i prodotti non venivano riforniti! Da migliorare assolutamente!
I would add more fruit options for Breakfast.
Very old facilities. Bathroom had no curtains. Room was very small. Not enough Power outlet. It needs to
It was so cute and conveniently located!
The decor and the personnel was great!
Doručak bi mogao biti bolji
Good location, friendly staff
narrow shower, loud air conditioner, very poor breakfast
Great location, easy access to major monuments. My room was large and clean.
The breakfast was rather basic. Could have some fresh fruit instead of fruit salad from a tin.
Im Frühstücksangebot fehlt Frisches: Früchte, Tomaten etc. An einem Morgen fehlte das Brot 3/4 Std vor Schliessung, wurde nicht in nützlicher Frist geholt.
サンタントニオ大聖堂の庭先、かつ旧市街にも近く、ロケーションは最高でした。 朝食内容も良かった。
冷蔵庫、電気ポットがなく、部屋でくつろげ無かった。
