Hotel Umbra  

Location, location, location!

Location's great once found, however, initially finding and susequent access is difficult!

The hotel is in a perfect location--one block from the city center. They have a great morning breakfast buffet.

It was romantic and gorgeous. A perfect end to my honeymoon. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

Lovely small family run hotel, tucked away down an alley just off the main piazza. It was very peaceful. The room was large, very clean and had a fabulous view over the roof tops to the valley beyond. The staff were very helpful and friendly. It was right in the middle of old Assisi which is a beautiful place to walk around and a few minutes walk from the St. Francis Basillica complex. We asked for and got non smoking rooms as other reviews I have read said they allowed smoking in the rooms (I don't know if this still applies).

If I had to say something I disliked, then the only comment I would say is that the hot breakfast (scrambled eggs) were under cooked and luke warm.

Staff were great, food was good and reasonably priced. The view from our room was excellent and we had a good quiet room.

We found the bed and pillows quite hard.

Wonderful, friendly, helpful staff. They were very gracious and welcoming. Room and bath great; recently updated. Location in Assisi cannot be beat!

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.

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

Very warm and helpful staff. Spacious room and bathroom. An altogether charming hotel located right next to the town square. Very highly recommended.

A good location to visit all of the historical attractions in Assisi. We especially enjoyed visiting the Basilica of St.Francisco, church of St. Stefano, and the little shops and restaurants in the town. We also visited on our departure from Assisi the Basilica Patriarale of Santa Maria Degli Angeli, which is just outside of Assisi. There were a couple of sitting rooms in the hotel that made meeting and talking to other guest very enjoyable.

The breakfast was just okay.

The location in Assisi was wonderful. The staff were very helpful and attentive. We were on a "Piero della Francesca" quest (Monterchi, Sansepolcro, Urbino, Arezzo, Perugia, etc.) and Assisi was a good central location in a georgeous mountain hill town. The "Mountains of the Moon" highway was breathtaking for scenery and breaktaking for the mountain roads. Enjoy the ride! Be back by sundown!

Due to the traffic configuration currently in Assisi, it was difficult to get into the city center to drop off bags for the hotel. An up-to- date parking organagram would be helpful with all reservations for those people with cars. Make sure you rent a small car.

The room was as about as elegant as any we have ever stayed in ... large, spacious, light, very large bathroom, and a view of the hillsides. Restaurant is beautiful, classy, and excellent.

Difficult to get a car to inside the walled city. Travelling very light is a must, as one has to walk back downhill to the parked car.
