An excellent room but not if you have difficulty with stairs. If you do make it clear when booking. Would have liked drink-making facilities in the room. The hotel supplied suggestions for places to eat and I made use of them. The places I tried were good decisions. Breakfasts were a good choice of continental style food and having drinks made to order was excellent. The room was clean and well maintained. Being so close to the Basilica and the historic centre was brilliant. I felt very comfortable as a solo traveller.

Good location next to the cathedral. Clean property with a good breakfast. I would stay here again although I wouldn’t bother paying extra for the city view room. The windows looked out to a busy outdoor bar/restaurant, so I had to keep the shutters closed anyway.

A perfect hotel for visiting Padova and Veneto.

Hotel Donatello was our base of operations for a 5 day trip (Not including the days for flying out and back) to a part of Italy I have long wanted to explore. Our trip saw us explore Vicenza, Firenze, and Padova before moving on to Venice, and this hotel was perfect for that. Well situated with the Basilica di Sant'Antonia di Padova literally on the front doorstep and most of the old city within a 15 minute walk, it perfectly set the tone for the trip. The concierge staff were of great help at all times of day and very friendly, even holding onto our bags after checkout so we could explore the Palazzo del Bo (A highly recommended visit to one of the oldest universities in the world where Galileo was a professor) before moving on to Venice. The room was very comfortable though our room was not very accessible for any wheelchair users due to the nature of the building putting a lot of small steps along corridors. This isn't an issue full-stop for such people however as rooms nearer the elevator were much more accessible. The room itself had a very comfortable en-suite although the shower was more of a head to be used in the bath rather than a free-standing shower. Breakfast each morning was very good with a nice simple continental provided, and other meals easily accessible around either directly outside the restaurant or slightly further afield towards the city centre. Overall a perfect hotel for a stunning visit to a gorgeous city that is off the tourist trail.

Great location and good value for money

Excellent location opposite the Basilica and within easy walking distance to attractions, bars, restaurants shops snd links to public transport . The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The rooms were comfortable and very clean although a little outdated Unfortunately, the tap for the bath/shower was difficult to use as very stiff. The shower was fixed in the wall however, there was no shower curtain so had to be hand held. A good choice of foods at breakfast if early. On our second day we arrived at 9.15 and the choices were limited as the food was not replenished when finished. All in all, we had a pleasant stay and would recommend.

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.
