The manager has always treated us as honoured guests and we have returned here at least three times a year for the last five years.The rooms have always been spacious, well decorated in the bel epoc style, and immaculately clean.The staff have welcomed us back as though we were old friends and the choice at breakfast is exceptional.

We stayed in one of their triple rooms (three beds - if you want the larger rooms, I'd email the hotel directly as they don't always have the large rooms on the websites). The room was very spacious and clean. The train station was literally across the street so it was very convenient to Venice. That said, the neighborhood around... more

Recomanding for good location, clasic building (rosenthal porcelain and silver teaspoons & knives) near stazione ferroviaria: 30 min far from Venice. Great breakfast! more

I have stayed at Grand Italia with my aunt while doing a tour of Italy. We have decided to stay in Padova because hotels in Venice seemed to be overpriced and difficult to reach from the railway station when travelling with luggage. The decision proved to be a good one. Grand Italia is located right in front of Padova’s railway... more

We had an excellent time staying at the Grand Italia. As we intended to make several trips by train (which is very cheap in Italy), the location opposite the railway station was perfect for us. I wouldn't recommend it to families w/ small children though, as it's on a busy road. The Scrovegni Chapel is only a few minutes' walk... more

This hotel is convenient to train station, and that is its only redeeming quality. The front desk clerk was rude and not the least bit knowledgable. The staff at breakfast refused to make traditional Italian coffee even though they clearly had the machine in the kitchen. The city of Padova (Padua) is charming, but it is a walk from the... more

Be warned, the photographs you see on the web are of the "artists' impressions" variety. It actually stands on a very busy corner and is a lot less attractive in the flesh. First room (all are non-smoking) was this tiny attic on the top floor which stank of stale cigarette smoke. Second was somewhat better, but hotel never (3 night... more

A well located, clean and professionally run hotel with spacious rooms but it is furnished in a starkly modern decor which is not welcoming. The location is within easy walking distance to center city and right next to the railway station; this is a plus. Tariff includes a very decent breakfast more
