Hotel Europa Padova

I passed by every day while staying with a friend in Padova, and the staff always seemed so nice. The patrons were always dressed very well too. It’s well placed for walking to nearby restaurants, and they’ll call a taxi if you want to go farther. They even kept a lost item of mine at the desk so I could pick it up. I’ll stay here when I come back.

Our room wasn’t fully equipped. There was power in the sockets only in the bathroom, and in our two-bed room, just one bed had a socket. The breakfast servers were rude. I’d only been eating for 15 minutes, starting at 8:30, when they took my coffee cup because the table needed resetting.

The room felt cramped, more like a cheap hostel than a hotel, and the balconies were alarming. You could easily jump from one to another, which left me feeling completely exposed. Check-in wasn't until 7 PM, and the staff showed no respect for guests. Unsafe, rude, and absolutely not worth the money.

The quiet rooms have always been great, and the staff are VERY professional. I've been coming here for years for my annual Venice Biennale and Padova getaway, and I'm happy the staff and hotel haven't changed. Breakfast is good too, with fresh fruit, yogurt, and wonderful coffee. Parking is around the corner, and a HUGE thank you to the staff member who walked me to my car so I didn't have to drive around the city to return the card. Wishing you all a successful year. See you next time!
