Hotel Belludi 37

It’s Thanksgiving, and even though my stay at this hotel was months ago, I wanted to write this review to express how thankful I am that I was able to stay here. I can’t say enough good things about this hotel, and especially it’s staff. My partner and I stayed here in February 2020 as the pandemic was first starting to spread in Italy. Despite the fear and anxiety at the time, the staff went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. They were welcoming right from the beginning, offering a snack while waiting for the room to be ready on our arrival, and insisting on carrying our bags to our room, since there is no lift. Museums and attractions began to close in Padua due to COVID restrictions while we were there, but the staff did their best to direct us to area restaurants and possible things to do. Although we had booked a weeklong stay, we were compelled to leave early due to rising cases in the area and closings in Padua, but it was a tough decision because we felt so well taken care of while at this hotel; I almost could have stayed at the hotel despite having few sites available to see. I have to say that I rarely write reviews, and we usually interact with hotel staff infrequently, so comments about them don’t usually carry much weight when I read hotel reviews; this time is different. While the rooms are beautiful, the location of the hotel is excellent, and the breakfast is very nice, it is really the care of the staff that make this hotel stand out above all others. I can’t wait to come back again!
