We stayed in Hotel Plaza in Jan 09 for 1 night during one tourist trip to Padova. We wanted a good city hotel (pet friendly also-and there is no charges) near the centre and Plaza is the only choice of that kind in Padova - don't look for something better (if you want to be in the centre as I... more

Don't be fooled by the out-of-date exterior - this hotel has most comforts you would expect from a hotel of this caliber. The rooms were huge by any standard, and gigantic for European standards. The location is great - close to many shops and restauraunts and within walking distance of the Giotto frescoes. more

looks like a 1970's disaster from the outside and only gets worse. Whilst there are a couple of nice and updated seating areas and the dining room is well stocked and pretty, the rooms are awfully depressing with their old wood furniture and carpets and trompe l'oeil painting above the bed. And weird bathroom that looks like a hospital. We... more

We stayed at the Plaza Hotel in Padua for a night after visiting Verona during the day and going to Venice in the evening and the following day. While we did not spend considerable time at the hotel, it was comfortable and good for one night. We were a little taken aback when we found bug spray in the closet... more

I am a business traveler and have stayed in the Padova Sheraton, the Majestic Toscanelli, and the Padova Plaza hotel. Each hotel has their pluses and minuses.

Once you realize what 4 star rooms in Europe are, you realize this is just about right. I am fairly convinced that this small city does not have ultra-luxurious rooms anywhere else, so this could be the best choice. Where this hotel excels is service. Well-staffed front desk; Very eager to please. Accommodating with late check-out. I left some belongings... more

I have lived for many years in Padua and I do know th city inside out. I have stayed, after having left Italy, at this hotel 2 or 3 times on business trip and I have not been satisfied at all. OK the rooms are large by European standard, rather well equipped and the bathroom is adequate and clean. This... more

We moved here after a disappointing one-night stay at the Donatello.. We paid the discount weekend rate and had an excellent large and comfortable room. Staff were very helpful and friendly, in particular the head waiter of the (very good) restaurant who gave us some inside tips on what to see and where to eat and what to avoid. We... more
