Padua Hotels with Hot Tub

As expected of a luxury hotel, the service from the staff, the bed and the furniture were all excellent and I was able to rest well. However, it took a long time for the bathtub to drain and the refrigerator wasn't cold, which was a bit of an issue. I wish I had noticed that at the beginning... But everything else was very satisfying!

This is one of the nicest places we stayed in Italy but it had one extreme problem...they turn off the air conditioning in ALL the rooms Oct 1st. We stayed mid October. Our room got to 30 celcius (86 degrees f) and they couldnt turn on the air. We were told it was winter time and the air is off and cannot be turned on. I couldnt sleep so I opened the window only to have to kill many many flying bugs. The bugs just keep flying in. I had to close the window and endoure the heat. I was part of a group and EVERYONE (at least 15 couples) complained about the heat, but the employees couldnt do anything about it. Traveler beware...after Oct 1st, if its hot, your going to cook in these rooms.

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.

Reception desk is kind and all facility is good .... but breakfast should be more concerned with goods and services ... While I stayed ,group tours like Chinese and Latin Americans make restaurants messy and hotel can't respond it ..

We chose this hotel due its very close proximity to the main train station. The hotel looks like a new build inside an old building. Our room was fairly large with a good sized modern bathroom. The shower stall though was small. The bathroom had a full complement of amenities such as soap bars and shampoo. Breakfast was very good with much choice. The reception staff was friendly and helpful. This hotel is located, as was mentioned earlier, minutes from the main train station. It took us about 20 to 25 minutes walking to the old city, 1 hour to the main park and Saint Anthony’s. The tram runs right up in front of the hotel. It is near many restaurants and coffee shops. We highly recommend this hotel.

We were only there for a night. We have a quadruple room which is separated through a sliding door. At check in time the room were ready, it was clean and okay. The kettle was there with instant coffee, tea, sugar and 2 paper cups. More you could ask at the reception. At night the room with the twin bed were suddenly smell like cigarette. As a non smoking family, with a child which has asthma, not a good sign. The smell was so intensive, that it was impossible to sleep. I would say the window has bad isolation. They were fully booked, but at least after begging hard i could get an extra room for my asthmatic child at midnight. Try to get the room with odd number, they are definitely quieter.

The Hotel Europa is only a ten or twelve minute walk from the Padova railway station and is easy to find. The hotel is also only about a ten minute walk to the centre of the old town, with historical sites and shopping, restaurants and bars all being fairly close. Check-in was easy and despite being early by about twenty minutes, the receptionist gave me a room. A double room, it had an independent air-conditioning unit, a safe (which was unfortunately locked when I arrived), plenty plug points, a fridge with two bottles of water and a bathroom with very basic toiletries. The internet wifi worked alright. Rather strangely for a 4 star hotel however, there was no coffee machine/kettle in the room with instant coffee/tea etc. The room was clean and although not luxurious was comfortable enough. Breakfast was of the usual continental style but with the addition of bacon and scrambled or boiled eggs. A few rolls, breads, croissants, pastries, tarts as well as cold meat, cheese, yoghurt, choice of cereals, fruit juice and some fresh fruit. Sounds like a lot, but compared with other hotel breakfast buffets, it was actually quite meagre. No self-service coffee machine (probably a good thing!) but you could ask the staff for a cappucini or whatever. They didn’t actively ask if you wanted a coffee; you had to approach and ask them. Likewise when first entering the restaurant there was no ‘buongiorno” or “good morning”, just a rather sour faced woman asking for your room number. I did ask the receptionist if the safe in my room could be opened so as I could use it and was promised that somebody would come later to fix it but they never did. However having lost my phone charger, I also asked if I could borrow one and the receptionist went into a drawer and gave me one to use. Check-out was quick with another cheery guy at reception. Overall, a bit of a hit or a miss type of place. The receptionists were fine (other than not following up on my request regarding the room safe) but the attitude of the breakfast staff leaves a lot to be desired and I can’t understand a 4 star hotel not having a kettle in the room. At best an average hotel which seemed to me to be more of a 3 than a 4 star. I’ve actually stayed in several better 3 star hotels in Italy than this place. Significantly better!
