Hotel Al Cason - Padua

9.2

The most spacious and comfortable hotel we found on our recent trip, and good value for money. Do not be put off by the somewhat forbidding exterior. As it is near the railroad station, there is some noise from trains, but not much. The instructions are a bit difficult. When you come out of the station, there is an underpass, but you can't see it from the station. Turn right and walk about 50 meters and it will come into view. The hotel restaurant is also excellent, and a great comfort if you do not want to go out to eat.

8.9

Very nice hotel. I would recommend it to my friends. Lovely breakfast and good dinner. Comfortable and clean rooms. Only drawback slight smell of cigarettes in room.

8.8

Al Cason has a great location easy walk to the main Piazza. Across therw street is a nice little fruit stand with excellent watermelons, the restaurants had one of the better Breakfast on our trip. Free parking in their subterranean garage. The room was spacious and clean would go again.

10

The location is fine if you don't mind some pleasant walking. It is an easy walk from the train station and a nice walk into town. My wife and I found the service at this hotel to be top-notch. We were greeted by Lucia with many helpful tips about how to get around and how to save money. We had one dinner at the hotel restaurant where the waiter had the cook prepare a sample of an item I had ordered to make sure I would enjoy it. I could go on. Bottom line, I recommend this hotel. Oh, and in the summer, don't miss going to the melon "shop" across the street from the hotel for good fruit and fun people.

7.3

The hotel is not near the main atraction(the lake). Clean and quiet, with a beautiful mountain view, the hotel caters for older people with very modest appetite at breakfast, that don't like expresso, machiatto, cappucino coffee or cakes or fancy cheese or fruits salads .

9.9

We very much enjoyed our stay at Al Cason in Padova. It's a very easy walk from the train station and is within walking distance of the city center. A bus stop is within a block and an half of the hotel. The employees were outstanding -- the desk clerk spoke 5 languages and easily answered all our questions. The breakfast service was excellent with a very good continental breakfast included with the room. The room was quite adequate and quiet, even though the hotel is on a busy road. We enjoyed the food at the on-site restaurant. Overall, we felt this was a very good hotel and would definitely recommend it.

8.7

in albergo ci siamo stati poco, in quanto abbiamo visitato parechhi ville venete e abbiamo fatto in battello (burchiello) la gita a Venezia. Ma tutto quello che abbiamo avuto bisogno dall'albergo è stato di notevole livello.

7.6

Al Cason is a hotel which i would recommend to people who are travelling by car. It is very convenient. On the other hand since we travelled by train, it is very near to station . We can,t say it is near the centre of Padua, however, a bus stop is round the corner, and buses are very efficient and frequent. Only one thing left us a bit disappointed. The toilets in the public area, situated in the basement, are very old and awkward. These need an urgent refurbishment otherwise, we would go again

7.9

Wir waren leider nicht im Hauptgebäude. Das Nebengebäude liegt sehr ruhig in einer Nebenstrasse in unmittelbarer Nähe aller Sehenswürdigkeiten. Das Nebengebäude ist sehr einfach und Frühstück gibt es keines, aber es gibt viele sehr nette Frühstücksbars.

8.7

Extremely friendly, with respectable command of languages. Good breakfasts and dinners. Immediate surroundings are not attractive but it is very convenient for the station and the tourist areas of Padua start only a quarter of an hour's walk away.

8.5

The hotel is excellent, with friendly staff. The breakfast is good and there is free internet access in the lobby. The location is about 20 mins walk from the tourist attractions in the centre of town, so you should choose this hotel only if you are happy to walk. It is about 10 mins walk from the station which was convenient for day trips to Venice.

7.2

Well located hotel with facvilities needed for short stay travellers. Close to station and the twon center. Excellent breakfast and service.

9.8

My only complait was the colour scheme in my room(tones of grey)were very dreary.The staff were helpful and the place was clean.I would stay there again.

7.4

Free parking. A little far from center of town. no restaurant in immediate area. Food acceptable. Easy to commute to Venice by train

6.8

The hotel is preatty, clean, new and the staff is very nice, helpful and smiling. The distance from the hotel to the station is ok (5 minutes by foot), a MINUS POINT to the distance to the centre of Padua: you need at least 20 minutes (by foot). But if you like walking, no matter! The surrounding area of the hotel is quite dissapointing (as it's usually around all main stations): desolation and emptiness... a big ar park and nothing more...not the best area in the night. The breakfast was very simple, but with a great FRESH macedonia! ;-)

8.1

Hotel Al Cason is a very nice place to stay. Rooms are quiet, spatious and very clean, although the furniture is a little "old-fashioned". The staff is extremely kind and helpful and makes you feel at home. The hotel surroundings are not "artistic", but they're safe and the location is convenient: very close (walking distance) to the center of the town and to the train station (there's a train to Venice every 30 minutes).

5.6

Our initial impression was very disappointing - the hotel looked nothing like the pictures - very clever photography! There was a strange mix of decor - old fashioned alongside modern art! They have obviously tried to update, but the rooms struggle to reach 3 star standard. The area round about is not great - the only plus being the proximity to the station for travel. (Unfortunately you get the noise from the trains) However the staff, were very friendly and very helpful. The rooms were clean and adequate.

9.4

Two couples from states stayed two nights. Driving our rental to the hotel was a bit of a trick with the (south-only) one-way section on the street just west of the wall, forcing us to go inside the wall for 200 m and back out at the next opportunity. The signage on the hotel was very adequate (better than average Italian :-). Al Cason is on a pretty busy street but in-front parking was available to unload and the parking below the hotel, after check-in was fine. Location was, as expected, near enough to the train station to meet and send-off friends from Venice and to Caoella Scrovenigni. BTW, CS was a wonderful experience. Worth the 8 Euro (Monday price). Hint: the set of larger panels in the upper cathedral at Asissi and with digital audio guide, makes your Giotto experience even better. Prima collotzione (included) is not just coffee and brioche. Even had boiled eggs, a boon to any Type IIs in your group.

7.1

external appearance of the hotel is very poor

5.9

Totally unremarkable

7.9

Warm and relaxed and helpful

7.6

What you see is what you get. A very conveniently located hotel for both the main line train station and also Padua City Centre. Staff were very helpful and free parking was truly an advantage. Restaurant was a good place to end a busy day in Padua, Venice or Veneto area.

9.6

The pictures doesn't make any justice to the hotel. This hotel is wonderful and I will stay there again and recomend it without restrictions. It's super modern (even has a plasma tv!), the bathroom was wonderful but the BEST was the breakfast... (TREMENDOUS with excellent capuccino!). Is very near the train station, but the adress in kind of confusing in the description, send an email to the hotel asking for less complicated directions (it's almost straigth from the train station 3 blocks ahead).

10

Muy bien ubicado y con un excelente reataurant. Cenamos alli y resulto una experiencia muy grata. Sabroso y buen precio.

7.9

Well placed to walk into the town, parking under the hotel was limited but a large pay carpark nearby

7.4

Ottimo hotel vicino alla stazione ferroviara. Lo raccomandiamo per le vostre visite a Padova

6.4

Hotel situated too near the road, with little garage spacious. Ninety euro are too for this type of Hotel.

7.6

Nice hotel close to railway station, however some distance away from major historical and tourist attractions.

9.3

This would not be a suitable place to stay for anyone who does not like to walk and who mainly wishes to visit central Padova but for a traveller wishing to go by train to other places in the Veneto, the hotel's nearness to the station is an asset. This is a very well run hotel and we felt very comfortable there.

9.0

We were interested in Padua because of its historical and artistic history. Al Cason is a clean, well run hotel located conveniently close to the railway station. Unfortunately the location is far from scenic or historic and, while this is reflected in the price, it did dim our initial impression.

8.7

The temperature outside was 32 degrees. When we left the room the electricity was cut off. Hence, it took too long time to get the temperature in the room to a reasonable level.

8.7

We enjoyed our stay. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The location was an easy walk to the trains and to the center of town. The room was comfortable, clean, and spacious.

8.1

Great staff...very helpful...good location...quaint but adequate accommodations

8.3

Hotel is situated in the center of city and have a parking lot, which is very important if you come by own car. Stuff is nice and very helpfull. Good choice for price!

9.2

Close to the train stop Quiet location Good dinner Family atmosphere

9.1

The Al Cason is delightful. it is at walking distance from the railway station. The staff were excellent, charming, helpful and extremely competent. All spoke good English and were kind enough to reply in Italian when addressed in that language. Breakfast was excellent, dinner also. The hotel is just outside the city walls, but is easy walk distance from the the centre of the city. Padova itself is magical. I shall certainly try to stay at Al Cason when I return to Padova.

9.2

This is our second stay at Al Cason. It is the perfect place to stay for touring Padua and Venice. The train station is a 5-10 minute walk from the hotel and the train takes about 40 minutes to get to Venice. The staff is friendly and the secured underground parking is free.

8.3

Although this hotel was a bit away from the center of town on an industrial street, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and some members of the staff were exceptionally helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

8.4

I enjoyed my stay in this hotel. The only thing was that it got a bit cold at night as I could not manange how to operate the air conditioning. The hotel is in a good location. The breakfast was plentiful and the breakfast room nice and large. Most of the sights in Padua are not more than a 25 minute walk from the hotel. I would stay at this hotel again if in Padua.

9.4

Nice Hotel, nice people. Very good accomodation.

8.3

buona struttura, ho avuto la possibilità del garage gratuito. Non silenziosissimo causa stazione proprio alle spalle e strada trafficata di fronte. nel complesso comunque consigliabile. gentilissimo e competente il personale. MOLTO PULITO. Il ristorante non è dei migliori ma comunque onesto (se non si hanno grandi pretese).

7.4

Reasonable hotel with pleasant helpful staff in an uninspiring, slightly scruffy area on a busy road near Padua station (we could hear the station announcements from the bedroom if the window was open). However it is only a short walk to the historic centre of Padua and restaurants and shops etc. Padua is lovely and well worth a visit. Good breakfast. Helpfully given details by reception staff from internet of trains to Treviso- unfortunately not told there was a transport strike on(as usual) so train was not actually going to its destination. Fortunately we had left enough time to get to airport anyway - otherwise we would have missed the return flight. Beware the Italian transport strikes because your travel plans are likely to be rendered non existent. Having said all that I would not have a problem staying at this hotel again, but would probably not recommend it to anyone as an ideal base for a Padua visit.

7.2

The hotel is a five minute walk from the bus stop and a 12-minute walk from the edge of the historic part of the city. I object to your listing "gay couple" in this questionnaire. I will consider that in deciding whether to do business with Venere.com in the future. You are making a mistake to require publishing someone's name in order to share comments.

6.9

This hotel really had two problems - walking to it from either the city or the railway station is through an unsavoury area that I would not have felt safe in alone. Also it was located on a very busy road, the heating was set very high and could not be reduced, so to get some cooler air required having the windows open - creating noise. The actual room and hotel was great, the restaurant on site provided an excellent menu and quality of food, however it was a 5-10 minute walk to one other restaurant and nothing else was nearby.

8.4

Not an especially nice area but the proximity to the train station (10 minutes walk) made it an excellent choice for getting into Venice in around 45 minutes for about 7 Euro return. The restaurant and the dessert trolly were very good (only open weekdays). Breakfast was standard continental style with cooked eggs available on weekdays. The reception staff were very helpful and spoke good English. Internet was available in the lobby and reasonably priced. Do allow a few hours to see the main sites in Padua (about 30 minutes walk from the hotel).

5.8

Hotel was convenient to rail station but had little else to offer. Food in hotel was not of teh quality that was expected.

8.2

very friendliy and comptent,helpful. good restaurant ,though not open on weekends ,nice rooms. value for many in all respect. It is a pity that such a nice and pleasant place so close to the station and nearby the places of interest is situated in a rundown noisy area,

7.5

Very nice people that are running a nice hotel even if it is not in the center

9.0

Lovely, friendly hotel - very well designed and decorated. Bit close to the railway tracks, but then we wanted somewhere handy. Perfectly placed between station and historic centre of Padua.

9.8

estupendo hotel. parking gratuito, si llegas a tiempo.desayuno muy bueno.

8.4

A very satisfactory hotel with rooms recently refurbished to a high standard and friendly and efficient staff. 5 minutes walk from the railway station, an easy bus ride to the city centre. Good secure car parking. Only significant drawback was disappointing breakfast (no real coffee). Slightly dark decor and lighting, but this seems to be quite common in Italy!

8.9

My group of six checked in at 2:30 p.m. and the reservations were ready plus we added another room which was readily available. The reception was warm and accommodating. The hotel has excellent location nearest the train terminal. We only stayed overnight and checked in the next morning. The staff let us store our luggage while we visited more places in Padua. Although we checked out at 8:00 a.m. we were allowed to wait at the lobby for our afternoon train out of Padua. I recommend Al Cason anytime.

3.9

I believed that this hotel is authorized as a three star hotel. The bedroom was not bad, but shower water was not hot enough and the toilet didn't flash!

8.0

The receptionist was very helpful. The hotel is just next to railway so it may be noisy for some people.

9.9

We have spent pleasant days for several times in Hotel Al Cason Padua. We plan to go back because Padua and this hotel have a good location.

7.9

Fairly good location for the station - about a 10 minute walk through a typical city train station environment but not so handy for the centre of Padua itself although walkable and buses nearby.

9.7

Friendly atmosphere and very helpful staff. Short walking distance to teh beautiful city centre of Padua, Cappela Scrovegni and railway station. Convenient indoor car park. All in all a very nice hotel.

9.1

The ideal hotel for seeing both Padua and Venice. The dining room is open Mon - Fri evenings and we very much enjoyed the two meals we had there with good, cheap house wine. The underground garage was completely secure.

8.7

This hotel is not in one of the prettiest parts of town, but it is well positioned to provide access to both the railway station and to central Padua. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and food in the restaurant was simple but scrummy.

9.9

We chose this hotel because it was located near the train station even though a bit more expensive than we would have liked. It is within walking distance, however, there was quite heavy traffic and road construction at the time so used a taxi. The staff was very friendly and the room and breakfast very satisfactory.

8.8

Good, business-type hotel close to the train station with good air conditioning (essential for Italy in the summer!), a short walk from everything.

10

Al Cason was a perfect place to stay for easy accessibility to the Centro. The staff was very accommodating and communicated well with our limited Italian, especially Lucia. We wish the restaurant had been open during our weekend stay. This was a great value and we appreciated the Internet availability. Thank you.

9.9

Nearby the railway station of Padova, a cheap (single fare only 2,5€)and easy (45min)way to visit Venice. Quiet and nice family hotel.

9.0

Very good quality of service, employees very kind and competent. Excellente qualité de service, personnel tres aimable et compétent.

9.1

It is about a 10 minute walk from the train station. So, it is very convenient. The room was clean and quiet and provided everything my husband and I needed. I would recommend this hotel for budget conscious people. It is nothing fancy but has all amentities. The hotel also has a computer for the customers to use for a fee. I would stay here again.

9.6

Very pleasant and helpful owners and staff

9.7

Was a delight to come to after staying at older places. This has 2 elevators! Husband and I traveling (5 weeks). Was close to train station. Also took double decker bus around city. Would recommend doing. Excellent restaurant we could walk to. Great breakfast provided by Al Cason. Would recommend this facility.

9.6

Overlooks the lake and the square. Immaculate, good breakfast, very pleasant. Would stay there again.

10

Hotel very good, staff most helpful, very good accomodations, excellent breakfast. Also, restaurant food very good, not like in the US.We never eat in US hotel restaurants. This one was outstanding. Will stay here again on next visit.

8.3

A good, modern hotel. Easily found by car or train & with parking. It takes 15-20 min to walk in to the city centre but the walk is interesting. 5 min walk to station.

9.1

Ottima posizione, estremamente gentile il personale.

8.8

Très bon accueil. L'hôtel est situé à 10mn à pied de la gare et se rendre à Venise est vraiment très facile (40mn de train de Padoue à St Lucia).De même, cet hôtel est très bien situé pour la visite de Padoue. Le garage pour les voitures, bien qu'un peu exigue, est possible.

8.9

Très bon hotel avec restaurant. seul l'emplacement laisse à désirer

8.4

good base from which to walk into centre, close to train station.

8.6

Ottima posizione, vicino alla stazione, anche se i paraggi non sono molto pittoreschi. Ampia camera, ottimo bagno. Pero' quando qualcuno ha inserito il fon a mezzanotte, ci siamo svegliati come se fosse un aspirapolvere industriale sotto la porta.

8.4

Close to railway and big roads, a bit noisy at night. Others OK. Nice personnel.

7.5

es lo esperado para su precio en Italia. Apartado del centro, pero Padova es pequeña. Diferentes habitaciones: las amplias, desangeladas; las pequeñas, más confortables.

9.7

Al Cason is situated outside of Padua city centre, in a street more dedicated to parking lots and car workshops than to hotels, within easy walking distance from the railway station (but you will find a city map useful to find the hotel). Recently refurbished, very nice bathroom with instant hot water. Breakfast good(buffet). Very nice staff. My only criticism: too few lamps in the bedroom! Padova is an excellent choice if you wish to explore the cities of Veneto, travelling by train, as there are good rail services in all directions (30 minutes to Venice). Padova is also a lovely place for quiet evening walks.

7.9

Rooms were very clean and reasonable size. Breakfast options were good.Provided secure parking.

8.0

A good hotel, near to the station and to the centre, 100€/day maybe are too much but maybe was due to the "fiera di padova": hight season... :-)

9.8

This was one of the best hotels we had on our stay. The staff was helpful. Even though some had very limited English from some, it was never a problem. The restaurant was one of the best meals we had. We would definitely return to Al Cason.

9.6

Really helpful personal service from staff. Bit of a hike to town centre and main attractions (those to south of centre)if you're doing it serveral days in a row, but lots of buses if you're feeling lazy. Excellent location for train station - with good connections - but not affected by noise from railway lines.

9.8

very satisfied, very nice service, garage for the car, good place to start a trip to venice by train,we would come again!

7.9

Very welcoming and freindly, nice rooms all individual, excellent bathrooms, underground garage very safe and secure.

8.9

A nice hotel, very friendly and helpful staff. really clean, internet access, nice rooms. is a 15min walk from centre but this is reflected in the price. (was a little cheaper than quoted on the net!)

5.1

The time it took to walk to the centre was more like 25 mins than the 10 represented to us. The rooms, interiors and surroundings of the hotel are uninspired and it is in strong need of redecorating (which is underway). The car park and proximity to the railway station are a plus.

9.9

Soggiorno confortevole, ristrutturato da poco camere perfette. Peccato senza servizio frigo bar in camera.

8.5

Ein durchschnittliches Hotel 10 min zu Fuss vom Zentrum, leider an der Bahnlinie, deshalb nahcts nicht allzu ruhig.

9.9

We regularly stay a few days (08.19.05.) in this well situated hotel when we are visiting of other parts of Italy. Generally we are satisfied. We realise that the owners try to improve their service (e.g. this year the breakfast was more enjoyable for a person from Northern part of Europe without increasing the price). We plan to come back again next year.

6.2

Das hotel ist wie von anderen schon beschreiben wirklich etwas schwer aufzufinden. äußerlich macht es einen künstlichen modernisierten eindruck. das zimmer besteht aus alt und neu. das bett ist komfortabel. die sanitären anlagen relativ neu und hygienisch. das personal ist freundlich und zuvorkommend. das frühstücksbuffet lässt allerdings zu wünschen übrig. etwas weit ist auch die entfernung zur altstadt paduas. ansonsten ist das hotel alles in allem in ordnung.

9.9

Thoroughly enjoyable stay - our room was very comfortable and of a high standard. The staff were v friendly and we couldn't have had a better place to stay in Padova - excellent value for money and I would definitely go back. Breakfast was plentiful and extremely varied too - a nice surprise!

10

Ottima struttura da usare come "base" per visitare sia Padova che la vicina Venezia. Facilmente raggiungibile in auto (c'è il garage interno GRATUITO!)L'hotel è situato vicinissimo alla stazione, nonostante questo si dorme senza essere disturbati dal passaggio dei treni. Il personale è estremamente accogliente e gentile, sicuramente competente. Le stanze sono abbastanza spaziose, molto curate e pulite. Se ritorneremo a Venezia, ci serviremo sicuramente ancora di questa struttura.

9.7

Wonderful family-owned and run hotel, very welcoming. Situated near train station, easy access to Venice, without the price of a Venice hotel. Excellent restaurant, as well.

6.9

This hotel is a bit off from the city center. We stayed there for one night recently - the rooms were not bad but inside the corridor looked dark and dull. The a/c was not working initially - then we had to change our room. if you are travelling w/o car, then it may not be the best option. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay there.

7.6

The only drawback is the distance to the center - about 25 mns by walk - but a very good welcome and no problem for car parking

8.5

Modern, spacious rooms. Simple buffet breakfast. Located 5 minutes walk from station in a nondescript neighbourhood, 15 minutes walk from the historic part of the city. This hotel is family-run. Staff are very hard-working, seem to work very long hours, and are very helpful and attentive. Would recommend this hotel as a good budget choice, particularly for those travelling by rail.

8.1

This is a nice hotel although a little difficult to find. It is in a fairly busy part of Padova with the centre being about a 15-20 minute walk away. Parking was easy in their private car park under the hotel. The buffet breakfast was quite good and the staff pleasant and helpful. They also had reasonably priced internet access.

3.8

Noicy traffic etc A lot of noicy young people.

7.9

The hotel is a perfect starting point for a trip to Venice. Some of the rooms are a close to the railway, but all rooms have double-pane windows.

8.1

Not the best location, but quite walkable to the station, old town centre and the Chapel. Front staff extremely helpful.
