We were very well treated. The accomodations were very clean, comfortable and centrally located.. The attached restaurant was exceptional. The staff - both hotel and restaurant - were very polite, helpful, and professional. Overall we had a very pleasant stay.

My dad and I stayed here on an epic motorbike tour around Europe (10,000 miles in 2.5 months). Up until this point we had not had the most positive experiences in Italy, but the Hotel Umbria more then made up for it. We stayed here for two nights, using it as a base to train it into Roma for the day for the usual sightseeing.

A wonderful twin room was supplied with some nice 'old world' charm, that was roomy and clean. A big Italian style breakfast each morning, and some nice, unassuming and polite service. The hotel went above and beyond to facilitate our motorbikes, where they found some space around the back in a secure area - any motorbike tourer will state that this is one of the most defining things about any accommodation.

And to add to the positives, Orvieto is a nice old town, and the walk up to the old walled city is a great way to finish the day before having a good value 'Turistico' menu from the hotel restaurant. It is also only 2 minutes walk to the train station over the river, and close to a number of restaurants.

The only down side would be some street noise, but the owner is in no position to stop the traffic, and to be honest, we found that on a touring holiday it is very hard to find accommodation away from traffic, especially in Italy.

There's nothing special about this place- no view, uninspired surroundings in the modern lower town of Orvieto Scalo, dated decor. But it's perfectly functional and convenient to the A1 motorway. There was an elevator and it worked, our room was normal-sized (for Italy) and even had a small flat-screen TV with BBC. The bath was fine - stall shower was slightly larger than the average. We heard the train go by once in the evening, but otherwise it was fairly quiet. The beds are extremely firm, even by Italian standards. Breakfast was actually more varied than expected, with a decent pastry/bread selection, cereal, yogurt, and some delicious fresh fruit. We checked in quite late but were able to eat dinner in their restaurant - again nothing special but a decent meal with pleasant service. Wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for the vacation of a lifetime, but it's fine for a stop-over if you're heading to or from Rome, and hilltop Orvieto is a gorgeous little town that's pleasantly off the (non-Italian) tourist beaten path.

We stayed in Ristorante Hotel Umbria for one night. It was right off the tollway, which was good for us because we had to drive to Rome early the next morning. However, if you want to spend alot of time walking around Orvieto, this would not be a good place to stay. We had a five/ten minute drive uphill into town (too far to walk). No one at the hotel spoke English. It was very quiet, we never saw any other guests or people in the restaurant part. The room was big, with nice large windows and a television. The room and bathroom were clean. It was on a busy street, which was noisy at night. Overall, it was nice enough for a night. We needed to be near the tollway, so it fit our needs.
