Hotel Umbra  

The family staff was very warm. The views from the hotel were amazing. It was very, very quiet.

Fantastic location. Just off a main square in Assisi but set back far enough to block out the everyday noise of the bustling town. Reception personnel were friendly and very helpful with suggestions. The room was clean and we appreciated having a small refrig in the room and the ability to have wireless at no additional cost. Although the view was rooftops and valley and mountains in the distance, we could use 2 outside terraces on the second floor to sit in chairs or on lounges while we snacked, drank wine and looked over the beautiful countryside. All in all a hotel that we will return to in the future.

Although not a complaint, the hotel provides free breakfast in a pleasant room off the lobby with traditional rolls, pastries, cakes, cold meats and cheeses but tried to present a hot entree which unfortunately was undercooked watery scrambled eggs with small hot dogs. I suggest they stick with the basics of the cold entrees and yogurt and cereals but add some hard boiled eggs vs the watery undercooked eggs. All in all, stick with the european basics for bfast and you will be fine.

This was a lovely hotel situated right in the middle of Assisi. It is run by a lovely and very helpful Italian family. Food was good and the rooms were well appointed and very clean. Would definitely stay here again.

So caring staff. So beautiful inside and outside. So perfect location. Hotel Umbra exceeded my imagination and expectations! Peaceful and quiet - but one step from the very center of the city, with access to all imaginable services at hand; ancient building nestled into twisted steep passage, panoramic view on Assisi roofs from two terraces, tasteful interiors furnished in old style. Excellent restaurant serving delicious local specialties in extremely beautiful surroundings. People working in the hotel were so nice and caring. Everybody loved our kid :-) Awesome place!

The room was very clean and comfortable with nice terraces and patios for your use. Large bathroom and shower was appreciated.

The Umbra is a genuine, old building in the midst of the Centro Storico of Assisi. Perfect spot to visit The Basilica of San Francesco and of Santa Chiara. The hotel proprietors are warm and attentive people. Hotel rooms and en suite bathrooms are spacious and furnished in olde world style, but rooms have a guest mini frig. Hotel has lift to upper floor rooms. Rooms with own private balcony are wonderful. Breakfast choices good and service also. Was our second visit to The Umbra, suited us.

The location was near perfect right on the edge of the town square.

We have stayed in Assisi earlier, but this hotel was definetly the best!!

Loved the location in relation to the town center, not necessarily to the Basilica. Beautiful views from the rooms and various decks. Nice rooms in a traditional manner yet updated. Very clean, huge room, nice huge bathroom.

A little hard to drive to the hotel and find it. Parking to check-in and unload was problematic. I was lucky and found an available spot. That trip down to the front door is killer and watch out for that pigeon poop! But once you figure out the city bus system, it is fine. Cabs are good too and very inexpensive. The outside citywall car parks are great!

Location and staff

squeeky bed - lack of shower curtain to keep from making too great a mess in bathroom - a regualr shower set up would be nice

If you are thinking of visiting Assisi - this is the place to stay - a real gem of a hotel. A traditional Umbrian hotel with breathtaking views of Assisi and the valley beyond. Guests can relax on the terrace (swing chair & sun loungers) and a fews steps from the front door and you are in the centre of Assisi's main square! Perfectly located to explore Assisi and the surrounding area. The hotel is very well managed and the staff are helpful and freindly.

The hotel is very conveniently located for visiting Assisi. It has attractive terraces where we could enjoy the setting sun over a drink. We deined in the restaurant one night, and had a good meal.

The hotel literature implied that one could have breakfast outside in good weather, which would have been nice, but in fact it was served in a rather characterless room, and the range of food was itself rather disappointing.
