Great location just 5 mins walk from the station
"Fabulous location, my room opened to the canal and that made it even more special. Rooms have very old style furnishings but that’s with most hotels in Venice. The room was very spacious and also had very high ceilings creating an added sense of space. Breakfast was just average"

Padova is wonderful. Glad we stayed here rather than in Venice.

Padova is a pleasing city - lovely architecture, great indoor market. Plenty to do. We visited here only because of the flooding in Venice - really glad we did - lots of good restaurants and reasonably priced.
