DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOTEL, specially if you are a solo traveler. I made a 2-night reservation for work purposes. The convenient location and the good rating made me decide for this hotel, even if it was more expensive than similar alternatives (110€/night during the week for a 2*). When I arrived, I regreted my choice as soon as I walked in. The pictures online are much more flattering than reality. The hotel is completely dated, is too warm and smells funny everywhere, from the reception to the rooms. The staff is not helpful. The room....much smaller than advertised, tiny tiny, dated, with a strange smell. Cleanliness, despite not being terrible, is far from irreprehensible, specially in the ancient bed quilts that must be used for several guests in a row. The bathroom is also small, with a tiniest shower (that I didnt event want to get in). From the vents in the bathroom you hear ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING from the nearby rooms. Also in the room itself, walls are paper thin and you hear everything from the other rooms..you don't feel calm and relaxed at all. To top it up, I don't know quite how to put it into words, but the environment is very strange. I didn't feel safe at all. I could barely sleep with this feeling of insecurity, specially after having read comments on TripAdvisor about strangers being able to open the doors. I left after 1 night in the early morning, despite having paid for 2 nights. There was 0 availability from the staff to discuss the negative points or cancellation policy for the 2nd night, even though you pay WAY TOO MUCH for what is advertised and then ends up being a complete disappointment. WORST HOTEL EXPERIENCE EVER even though I only wanted some place to sleep for work purposes. This felt like on the movies, that terrible strange place where people go to sleep after somenone kicks them out off the house.

This is our second stay at the Garibaldi Hotel, and we definitely plan on going back to it if and when we might travel to the area. The staff is very accommodating, breakfast is wonderful, and it's also conveniently close to the train stop (about a 10 minute walk), which makes trips to any destination (Verona, Milan, Venice, Trieste, etc..) an extremely easy task. On top of everything, prices are more than reasonable, considering that a double with breakfast was roughly $60 a night. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Venice (a 20 minute train ride, at the incredible cost of $5 each way) or any other place in the area given its proximity to the railway.

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.

Beautiful modern structure put out of Padova but comfortable at the station Breakfast excellent at the 12th floor with beautiful view of the city Excellent room cleaning. We had a little injury at the arrival but the ladies at the reception have resolved the problem quickly and with a haircut.

I spent one night at this hotel and I really liked it here. My room was spacious and clean, it was quiet here, no noise from the hallway. The breakfast was standard, there was a lot of fruit and pastries. Check in and check out was quick and staff friendly. Bonus: there was a huge supermarket right across the street.

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.
