Casa Al Carmine

This hotel is very close to town and an easy walk. They have parking for your vehicle and we truly enjoyed our stay here. We were met by the night watchman and he was just wonderful. If you're going to Padova, I would recommend this hotel. The rooms are clean. The bathrooms have good water pressure. The internet worked flawlessly. Be sure to enjoy the rooftop terrace. It's beautiful at night.

3 night stay cycling and walking in and around Padua. Great hotel for cycling with safe rooftop cycle storage. Clean, quiet, and with useful shared kitchen. Good location, walked to hotel from the train station.

Great place, the terrace is a must. Definitely would go back again

*Pros: Relatively close to the train station (15-min walk), Cleanness, Kitchen, Fairly large in-room refrigerator, Large patio area, Large washer & drier (5 euros/load), Decent breakfast (coffee was so so), Friendly staff *Cons: No A/C outside the summer months, contrary to the description on the **********. The hotel did not even have a small fan to provide. They asked us just to open the windows, which didn't have insect nets. During the day time, opening the windows didn't do much to cool down the room. We were staying there toward the end of May, and Italy already gets warm from mid-May. We were bitten by mosquitoes despite the insect repellent the hotel provided for us because we slept with the windows opened. It is ultimately the **********'s responsibility to verify the accuracy of information with hotels before uploading it on the website. For this particular hotel, ********** failed to do just that, causing huge inconveniences to its members.

The staff was nice. But the place is not a hotel. It used to be an elderly house. The place is not nice, you feel in a hospital. The DONT have AC, they turn it until June 1st they said. It was really hot and could not sleep, they provide mosquito electronic devices but it is not good to leave the windows opens. Lots of beetles and spiders, pigeons in the windows, so watch out when leaving the windows open. I would not recomend this place. It is not a Hotel as announce in *******.

The property was very 'unique' in that it reminded me of 'dorms'. Finding the hotel was near impossible, we walked around the whole area, asked ( to no avail ) in a nearby market...google maps said we were there. Finally, we saw a small sign on the side of a wall, after calling the hotel, some large wooden doors parted and we entered the compound. The hotel office was set discreetly on the 4th floor. It was challenging. The rooms are very minimalist (as I saw in pictures), but the walls are paper thin.

We stay there for 1 night. The host was very nice and very informative. When we told her we will be leaving early, she went out of her way to bring us breakfast in our room. The place is clean and well maintained.

Excellent location close to the train station just outside of old town. Short walks to downtown attractions or to the trains for trips to Venice or Vicenza.

Positives; Helpfull and kind staff, good location, enough comfort. Negatives; Smell coming from toilet, big cockroach we found at the morning in the room, thin walls you hear the next room clearly.
