Do Not’atello!

Our room appeared to be a work in progress as there was zero art or decor, giving it prison cell vibes. Very poor quality towels and amenities. We are not high maintenance guests and the reception appeared irritated to even check us in. After returning from dinner one evening, they requested to see our room key and identification. That was strange and uncomfortable. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

It seems like this used to be a very nice property, but it's showing its age. Dead bugs were splattered all over our room's walls, which makes sense because we had to have killed 15+ mosquitos in our room. Didn't get them all because we were bit multiple times overnight. When we asked the front desk about it, they said mosquitos were normal and gave us an expired bug plug in (which didn't help). Air conditioner was barely functional; I can't imagine staying here in the hotter months. Front desk staff was very polite; food staff significantly less so. Breakfast was sparse, as food was not replenished after previous guests ate it. The only reason I would maybe recommend staying here is the proximity to the Basilica of Saint Anthony.

Terrific location across from the cathedral square and walkable to many ships, restaurants and attractions. We also took public transport (tram plus train)to Venice for the day. Parking garage was very small but it helps to not have a car in Padua.
