If you're visiting the Basilica of St Anthony you couldn't get much closer than this. The old town is about 7 minutes away on foot. There are many eating options close by.

Hotel wiith Great location
We had a great stay at Hotel Donatello which is located across the street from St Anthony's Basilica. Most rooms have a view of St Anthony's. Great Restaurants including Al Santo are steps outside the door. Staff was attentive and helpful; we were provided with a box breakfast because of our early departure.

Excellent location! Across from Cathedral of Saint Anthony. Our triple room was great with the 3rd person having almost a private room. Comfortable and clean rooms and breakfast more than enough offerings.

Staff support was excellent. Room did not live up to advertised booking expectations and so was a major loss to them on rating.

The location is great. Teh facility is average. There is a strange smell each time we enter the room. So we had to open the windows when we enter the room every time. The bathroom is out dated and very squishy. There is 6 inch distance between the toilet and the glass show wall. My left elbow often hits the show wall and I felt dangerous, worried that I may break teh glass wall. I left empty plastic bottles next to gabage bin i order for the maid to rycycke them. But the maid just left the bottles there as if they were not exist. Wired behavior.
