Hotel Orvieto

Friendly staff, clean rooms, and good parking. Hotel is about a 20 minute walk from the train station where you can take the cable car up to the old city. Best if you have a car since there is free parking below the train station and you’ll need to take the cable car into the old city. Breakfast is fair and available daily. Sound travels from the hallway as well as the street below, esp if you have your window open. AC is in the room but seemed to be hard to modify and the room stayed warm. Overall a nice experience and a solid choice at the price, provided you have a car to access the centro storico.

Nice little hotel, staff was friendly. Wouldn’t recommend if you were planning on visiting the old town as it’s not exactly walkable and there is 1 cab driver and he charged us 20 euro for a 5 minute drive from the train station but 25 euro for the 15 minute drive up into old town! We booked last minute so that’s on us.

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
