Hotels Near Casa Canonicale di Francesco Petrarca in Padova

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.

The photos of the hotel internally is nothing like it is now so don’t expect what you see. The staff were exceptional, friendly, accommodating and very helpful. Nothing detrimental on their behalf and our room was clean, spacious and the bed was very comfortable.Aircon was ok but doesn’t go below 20 so I think the summer temperatures might have a struggle. However! The wellness centre is closed completely. The pool is closed. for private functions only . The bar closes early. Breakfast is …..well the reviews were not wrong. We tried the restaurant….when it was open ( closed during our visit more than once) set menu, costly and …..like the breakfast, lacking in quantity. The bar has no ambience and the chairs are boardroom style and uncomfortable. This is not our first BW hotel stay but it very nearly could be.

I assume that when this hotel arrives, it is a good thing if it is in its guidelines, the room is not bad, even the underground parking structure, but the serious problem of this hotel is staff, We asked for a lower coat, having to stay 3 nights and if it was not for the night shift Lord who found it, my cervical would have suffered so much. The bar despite the food and its variety was good for the staff of a unique maleducation. The chilli on the cake arrived during the last night of stay, entering the room of unwallowed baskets, obviously unclean floor, unreplaced hygienic paper and produced in the finished shower, as to say “ so much is the Last night, when I made my shows in a courteous way the two girls at the reception, untreated and insolent said that it was not dependent on them one of the two intervened saying if you want now I can only change her room, I assume that my own was a simple pointing, so, given the cost, I would not have disregarded to have more than the good personal structure of Education.

The hotel staff has a good service attitude and the facilities are relatively complete. But it is far from the city, there is a bus nearby, and the last bus is more than seven o'clock in the evening, and there is no public transportation. It is recommended that people who drive come.

I like hotel chains. When I see the name of the hotel, I more or less know what to expect. Crowne Plaza Padova is a real example. Spacious room, friendly staff, hygiene as expected. The hotel is 8 km from the center, which meant a 10-15 minute drive to the center and parking in the spacious parking lots next to the old town. The hotel has a large parking lot and also its own garage, and everything is included in the price. Breakfast is a bit on the ”Italian side”, more sweet than savory, but that's common in Italy. Enough for full satisfaction for two nights.

5 Stars isn’t quite enough! This is a breathtakingly beautiful hotel. Filled with a tremendously talented and dedicated team who treat you like family and aren’t satisfied until they have knocked your socks off:) From the moment you pull up outside until you turn in your keys and bid arrivederci to the AMAZING team at the Abano Ritz Terme, be prepared to be blown away at every opportunity. The ambiance is sophisticated and serene. The pool and the grounds are opulent and oh so soothing. The spa team- ok I’m out of adjectives. Suffice to say I felt pampered. I felt valued as a guest (which unfortunately does not happen as much these days as if used too.) The food?!? OMG THE FOOD!!! Exquisite!!! I lived learning about the mineral springs and deposits at the base of the Eugenian Hills. My body and soul were recharged and I was so surprised! I’ve been told that one needs a full week for the mudpacks to do their thing completely. In just a few days my aches and joint pain disappeared. Would love to spend more time in the unbelievable swimming pool there. My husband and I are already planning out next visit- which will be a full 7 days (at minimum). Do yourself a huge favor- reserve a week at the spa and be prepared to be dazzled ❤️⭐️💝

Excellent 3 stars Superior, very kind and sympathetic staff,a thanks to our roommate Ivan for his sympathy during the service of Master Sandro x has given us a magic atmosphere during dinner on board pool for our 20 The hotel is a very good hotel and is very good for you to stay in the hotel. If I have to find a bad note but not about L hotel is people who go to a thermal hotel and spend hours chatting in the various swimming pools locations, thus not allowing the complete paths . They will certainly see me again because the staff is really too kind and sympathetic. Compliments to everyone 🥰

Recently renovated is a great and comfortable hotel. Good breakfast and abundant, clean rooms. Internal and external pool. Water is hot but a little too treated.
