Methis Hotel & Spa

Good location just off the old centre of Padua. Good contemporary hotel design, free car park.

When we first stepped into this hotel, we thought that the owner has been good friends with whoever is granting the stars. Everything, except the bed linen tells you this is not a four-star hotel. The furniture is torn, the decoration is poor, and the bathroom is a disaster, painted everywhere, yes, you heard well, painted on the walls, floor, and ceiling with the same revolting pale yellow in an antique style. The cleaning staff would never know if they did a good job, and the guests cannot trust the cleanness. Hard to believe, but the bathtub itself is pained with the exception of the floor covered with small pieces of ceramic.

My husband hurt his foot in the ceramic pieces from the bathtub and the receptionist kindly offered us a smaller room with shower instead of bathtub. The shower cabin was painted with the same yellowish as the rest of the bathroom. My husband got another injury from the bed edge that is very sharp. Last but not least, although the hotel is beautifully located in a quiet residential area, by the river, it is far away from the attractions and the train station. It is a good half an hour of walking or otherwise walking to the tram takes about the same time overall.
