If you come from Padua Railway station, take any bus with letters (A, AT, M, T, L) leaving for Abano Terme (ask the ticket office at the station for the right platform and do not take any bus with number since they only serve Padua). The closest stop is the one which follows the Town Hall stop (ask the driver to be dropped at the via IV novembre 1918 stop). Walk down via IV novembre 1918 till its end and you will see the hostel on your left side (it is a black and white building).
