We stayed here for a week, using it as a base to get to Venice, Vicenza, Verona and Lake Garda as the railway station is directly across the road from the hotel. Rooms were clean and quiet. However, the staff need to lift their game. They never smiled or appeared to want to help you. They did not even know... More

we drove to this hotel on our way to venice. The hotel is on a street only opened to buses/taxi so it was very difficult to locate and then a problem to unload our luggage. But finally settled, we found the staff friendly and helpful. The room was of good size, and very clean. The major problem is the location,... More

Rooms good and modern. Wi-fi only on lower floors, ethernet otherwise, but no charge. Station plaza not a place to wander around at night More

My review is based on the experience I had with the front desk staff and the room I got on the mezzanine level. I arrived pretty late in the evening. The receptionist was originally polite, but was categorical that he would not allow me to check out at 12:15 pm. Then I saw my room - it was on the... More

This was our third stay at this hotel as it is close to the train station. We are very frequent travelers with, for example, Marriott Platinum status and 80,000 miles on United each year. While the neighborhood deteriorated noticeably since our last visit, the rudeness of the reception staff, especially a very rude lady made our stay very unpleasant. Moreover,... More

You will not be sorry to stay at the Grand Italia, we are train travelers so the location to the the station is fantastic, although when we first sure that the hotel was immediately opposite to the station we were a little concerned that it might be an unpleasant stay with regards to noise, but our room was peaceful. And... More

I can add nothing to the last review from May 2010.Everything is still the same high standard and I continue to wonder if , one day , we are going to be disappointed. It has not happened so far. Long may it continue to thrive and Signor Capovilla continue to rule his small empire. More

I booked this hotel because it was close to the railway station and it was a good idea as I arrived when it was snowing out of season in early March after a fantastic 12 hour train trip with forwards moving window seats from Paris. I dragged my case down the snow laden track and there it was - a... More

Rather than spend a fortune basing ourselves in Venice, we decided to stay in nearby(ish) Padua and it was a very good idea. We managed to visit Venice and Verona easily and this hotel is pretty much straight across the road from the train station. Usually that would be a bad thing but in Padua, that area is far from...
