Convenient location, in need of upgrading.
The location was terrific. The tram was right outside the front door. Cassiana at the front desk was extremely helpful. Other front desk staff members were unable to answer basic questions. The rooms definitely needed some updating and some deep cleaning. It would be okay for a short stay but it certainly was not outstanding.

I like this hotel, I've stayed in it twice. Once in 2016 and again recently in 2018. It's so central, just five minutes from the railway station and only a few minutes walk from the centre of Padova. It's perfect for if you have business locally and also perfect if you need to use the train from Padova station to other places each day. The tram stops right outside and a car park is available close by. I really enjoyed the relaxed buffet style breakfast and found all the staff helpful and friendly and the rooms serviced adequately every day. The hotel is located just by a busy street junction, but noise is not a problem as all the windows are well insulated and have roller shutters, electric in our room. It's great look out of your widow and see all the local people on their way up and down to the station and so on. It's probably fair to say a makeover would be great at some time in the future, but until then it's still a good place to stay, clean, comfortable, convenient location and good value for money.

Mixed bag
The room we had faced the Main Street and when we opened the window for ventilation (the room was too warm and the cooling function of the aircon didn't seem to work as apparently it was centrally controlled) we had to bear with the traffic noise throughout the night except a few hours. The bathroom ceiling was water stained although everything inside functioned properly. The breakfast room was spacious and the food adequate. The beds were clean and comfy.

Great location
This hotel is in a great location in Padua, 5 minutes from the train station and less than 5 minutes to the Scrovegni Chapel which is a must see in Padua. Internet worked well and the included breakfast was great with a good selection of fresh fruits, crossiants, yogurt, coffee, tea, juice, eggs, cereals. Rooms were small but it's Italy so you can't expect anything big.

Lovely and quaint hotel
Hotel Corso is about a ten minute walk from the train station, right across Trieste Blvd. from a lovely park. The room was fair-sized, but with everything you might want, including TV, armoire, and a very nice, firm, bed. The staff was helpful and friendly, though their English wasn't not as polished as other hotels we stayed in. The bathroom was clean and functional. As with all other hotels in Italy, it had a bidet as well as toilet, The shower was a stall shower. The highlight for me was the breakfast buffet, which had the usual (cheese, wonderful rolls, jam, deli meats, fresh fruit, yoghurt, dry cereals) plus scrambled eggs and cooked sausage. If also had four different kinds of gluten-free biscuits and cereal. As always, the coffee was good. We asked for an early walk-up, and it came on the dot. For the money, the hotel was the best value of our stay in Italy, and Padua is a lovely town to walk through.

Good 3 star hotel in good location
Staff very friendly and spoke English. Breakfast excellent - varied and plenty of it. Only 5 mins walk from the station and also from the Scrovegni Chapel. An excellent place to stay using Padua as a centre to reach other parts of the Veneto by train.

Not a 3-star hotel
Pros: 1. Great location, close to the train station (~5min slow walk), old city begins across the street..... 2. Nice and knowledgeable front staff 3. Breakfast is adequate and in a newly renovated room Cons: 1. Dirty and outdated room; Blue carpet is blue only in the corners, otherwise it is grey everywhere... 2. Mold on the bathroom ceiling. 3. Dirty walls with signs of smeared mosquitoes 4. Miniscule safe where even my small 11" netbook did not fit

Nice hotel - convenient
The hotel/room was clean and the staff were very courteous and helpful. The breakfast buffet was very nice. It is very conveniently located, just a 5 minute or so straight walk from the train station and a few minutes' walk from the "old town" area. One could easily hop on a bus or tram right in front of or very near the hotel.

Worth a stay
Hotel is an old fashionned Italian style hotel obviously family run. It was nice to go back and stay in this environment rather than modern perfect designed placed. Room was pleasant and had certain upgrades. The bathroom is quirky, but we enjoyed this aspect of the room. Location so convenient. For the money a perfect place to stay to see Padua and ease of train access to Venice and other important tourist locations around. Breakfast exceeded our expectations.

Convenient Position
Good hotel if you want to be close to the station as well as the old part of Padova. Average accommodation, but clean. Very noisy street, but with windows closed the room was quite soundproof. Staff were very helpful in storing some food in the fridge for us as there were no fridges in the rooms.

Great location and charming hotel
Hotel Corso is in a fantastic locale just a short walk from the train station, though the neighborhood on approach is a little sketchy. But the hotel rooms have a view of the river and public parks off many balconies and, if you're into art, the owner began a collection many years ago of local artwork that is fabulous - adorning hallways and rooms throughout. Rooms are comfortable and clean, with an aging elegance. Padua is a charming city with many heritage sites not to be missed...especially Giotto's frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel (tickets must be secured ahead of time) and the Basilica of St. Anthony (perhaps more beautiful than St. Peter's in Rome? certainly more diverse!)

Hotel Corso in Padua, handy to Giotto.
The hotel is basic but good, and very convenient to both the station and the Scrovegni chapel. The desk staff is highly professional, and we got good restaurant recommendations when we asked at the desk. Some rooms are right over the street, so opening the window was not a good option.

overpriced and charmless
We actually "spent up" for a supposedly nicer place, because it was my birthday. The exterior of the hotel in the online pictures (and in reality) had a certain belle epoque old-world appeal. But inside it became immediately apparent that it was merely a fake facade for a Soviet-style dormitory. There was no air-conditioning, there was no wi-fi in the room, no hot water, a dreary depressing room and squalid bathroom, and the staff was borderline snotty. Ridiculously overpriced given its hostel-level quality. A real bait-and-switch loser.

Good stopover before Venice
We wanted an extra day in Venice without paying for the Venice room another night, and this place was great - near the station and inexpensive. Rooms were cool, dark and air-conditioned, though we did have some bugs in our room (2-3 that I saw...). Otherwise a decent place, served it's purpose well. Out the door of the room and walking out onto the Grand Canal in about an hour and fifteen minutes.

Décevant
Nous recherchions un hôtel près de la gare pour pouvoir facilement et rapidement prendre un train pour passer une journée à Venise. Nous avons dormi deux nuits à cet hôtel, la veille et le soir de la journée à Venise. Au vu des photos disponibles sur le site Hôtels.com, nous avons sous-estimé les avis sur la vieillesse de la chambre et de la douche ; nous n'aurions pas dû ! La pression de la douche est quasi nulle et la température varie constamment, pas moyen de prendre une douche à température stable. J'ai hésité à me rincer les cheveux dans le lavabo... Concernant les lits, très (trop) fermes. Sinon, le staff est sympathique mais ne peut pas faire grand chose au problème de vétusté des installations. Et le petit déjeuner est correct. Enfin, nous avons laissé notre voiture de location au parking (15€ par jour). Il est demandé de laisser les clefs du véhicule à l'accueil pour permettre au personnel du parking de bouger la voiture si besoin. Point positif du séjour : le parc public qui se trouve de l'autre côté du pont est très agréable car des châlets proposant à boire et à manger y ont été installés ainsi que des chaises, tables et transats. Le soir l'ambiance y est chaleureuse avec les petites lumières et la musique.

Buona opzione per Padova centro
E' un'ottima sistemazione per una sosta a Padova. Vicino alla stazione ed al centro storico, collocazione tranquilla sebbene centrale. L'accoglienza alla reception è molto efficente e celere. Le stanze ed i servizi sono adeguati alla categoria. La possibilità di utilizzare un posto auto presso un garage adiacente è estremamente vantaggiosa.

Posizione strategica a 5 min dalla stazione dei treni, pochi passi dalla fermata del tram e a 5 min a piedi dal centro storico. La struttura non è di certo moderna, è stata ristrutturata ma mantiene ancora lo stile di una volta. I bagni ad esempio non hanno piatto doccia e miscelatori ma funzionano egregiamente, mai mancata acqua calda o difficoltà nella miscelazione nè si è mai allagato il bagno. La camera semplice, piccola ma confortevole, silenziosa e molto pulita. Colazione buona e variegata. Lo staff di una cortesia eccezionale. Deposito bagagli gratuito. WiFi in camera gratuito e ben funzionante. Consigliato sia a chi viaggia per affari, sia per turismo (anche a famiglie).
