Hotel Orvieto

The staff were all very nice and accommodating, but the hotel was not at all what I was expecting from the photos and description. The hotel is old, the furniture is old and tired-looking and the bed was not at all comfortable. We stayed early October and it was still fairly humid out, but the AC had been turned off. We had to open windows which faced a VERY busy and noisy road. There were guests talking loudly and constantly smoking below our room until very late at night and all that came right into our room. Guests were working on something in the parking area and making loud motor noise until after 20:00. I don’t understand why staff allowed this. Bugs came in the open windows so we had to put the shutters down and it felt like we were in a hot box. Thankfully I had a small fan, but it provided very little relief. Breakfast was adequate with pastries, yogurt and cold cuts. The coffee was very good. The restaurant is next door and does not open until 7 for dinner. Food was very good and staff were helpful. There was a bit of a language barrier, but the dinner was very good. The location is convenient as it is right off the highway, but that also adds to the noise, as did the trains speeding by. Although the staff were very nice, if I were to travel to Orvieto again, I would look for a different hotel to stay in.

Staff very kind, helpful and knowledgeable of the city. Good breakfast. Bed was not comfortable

- very lackluster reception upon arrival. Girl at the desk said maybe 2 sentences to me. Took my passport and handed me my key. - Elevator scratched with graffiti. Lots of graffiti like damage to other parts of the hotel - Room smelled like grandma’s closet - Every 5-10 minutes high speed train will rush by. Tracks about 200 yards from the hotel - A/C not working and hot in the room. Nice and cool outside but no fly screens on the window and tons of mosquitoes. And the trains would be even louder with window open. - Paint chipping off the walls - Window/door loose and won’t latch fully. Rattled all night long - Between the hotel and the train tracks there is some kind of repair yard with workers pounding and making various noises - Breakfast in the basement. Dry cake and juice from concentrate. - Other “guests” walking through the hall to their room yelling and singing. Slamming their door - Paper thin walls. Person in room next door talking on phone via speaker phone and I can hear every word clearly - Paid for a double bed, but got two twin beds pushed together with a split in the middle. No way to sleep in the middle - parking area is a dirt lot - Restaurant connected to the hotel not open. Probably a good thing actually - Tried to plan my day in centro storico but the Wi-Fi continuously drops connection and is slow - Avoid this hotel at all costs. Pay more and stay up in Orvieto old town

Close to supermarket, restaurant. Free on site parking. But close railway. Fortunately no train during midnight.

This was very convenient, right off the highway. Our room was very noisy with trains going by. We used our white noise app for sleeping. The restaurant next door was great and there is a shopping center within walking distance. Staff was good and breakfast included.
