Hotel Gialletti - Orvieto Scalo, Orvieto

Good staying but totally outside the city. Arriving by car there is good parking place.

Restaurant service and quality are very poor

This hotel would be ideal for one night. It's on a main road and very noisy. Handy to the Old City Centre by car. Not much to do there. Staff were very pleasant but spoke little to no English. If one of us didn't speak Italian it would have been a bit frustrating. Good for overnight stay.

The hotel is fairly well located to visit the old town of Orvieto. The room was a little small for a family of 4. Breakfast was OK.

The hotel and the employes are great. They have everything you need. Breakfast is fantastic! so clean and nice. If you don't have a car, it might be a bit difficult access, because it is closer to the highway and distante from the station and the funiculare. But it is a great place to stay. The room was no nice and clean. People so friendly. And they have wifi. Really enjoy my stay there. We went for Orvieto Winter Jazz festival and had a bast!

Chambre très propre et tranquille. Personnel très sympathique. Déjeuner inclus très bon.

This hotel was clean, functional and comfortable and in exactly the right place for us to spend one night before going on to a self catering villa for the week. One member of staff didn't speak much English(the other did), but they were all smiling and helpful. I would recommend the hotel for one or two nights - although its a bit close to the road and railway to enjoy a longer stay. The restaurant was a decent price with a reasonable choice of dishes.

La posizione, tra ferrovia e statale, non è delle più felici. Rimane comunque in ottima posizione per Orvieto.

L'hotel è carino, le camere grandi e pulite,la colazione ottima, l'unico neo la strada che è trafficata e rumorosa.

Excellent overnight stop - access to autostrada is easy. Those complaining about its location need to note the address, i.e Orvieto SCALO: Scalo translating as 'stopover'. Didn't experience any of the problems indicated in earlier reviews. Enjoyed the breakfast and an evening meal. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Hotel sur une route très fréquentée, accueil agréable, petit déjeuner très complet,

We stayed at the Gialletti for one night. We loved Orvieto so much that we decided to stay 2 more nights. We were unable to stay at the Gialleti because they were fully booked. We went to another Hotel called Hotel Paradiso and it was significantly more expensive, the room was much smaller, it was very loud and the breakfast did not even come close to the breakfast at The Gialletti. I would definitely strongly recommend this Hotel. The staff was very professional, welcoming and friendly. Don't let the fact that it's located a little outside of the city centre discourage you, everything is within walking distance!

Convenient location just off Autostrada between Florence and Rome. Great location as a base to explore southern Umbria. Hotel is about a 10 minute drive to center of Orvieto. Not a good location for someone without a car. Room was good value at 100 Euro per night for family of four, but rather small. Room was clean, but there was a problem with shower plumbing. Plaster on exterior of bathroom wall was wet from shower. Water was hot and there was plenty of water pressure. Walls were thin. Could hear neighbors singing in the shower and talking in their room. Breakfast was typical European fare but included machine made cappuccino only. Real cappuccino could be purchased at bar for 1.10 Euro. Lots of outside noise. Hotel is located between two train tracks, next to main road into Orvieto, bordering the Autostrada. Hotel had restaurant and prices seemed good, although we chose to eat in typical Umbrian restaurants. Front desk was helpful and provided adapter plug for room.

Were told as soon as we checked in that the A/C didn't work very well. We were lucky that it was April and not hot yet. As soon as you open the windows, the hourly train thunders by. It is very loud. It would wake you up every hour if your windows were open so we needed to keep them closed. Thank heaven that the summer heat wasn't here yet. The breakfast was very good for European standards. I would not stay here in the summer.

This has the quality of a roadside motel with a great breakfast included. The room was very small and the bathroom was tiny with no hairdryer. However, for the price, it was fine - just not a place you'd want to hang around in.

Once again we had a great time. The hotel welcomed us back and couldn't have been more helpful. The restaurant is excellent - you just have to try the steak cooked in Sangiovesi wine!!

We had read some negative comments about air conditioning, but during our stay it was working fine. And if you keep windows closed there is no noise coming from road/railway.

You sometimes have to wait after the people when the TV is playing, what's not so welcome. However I'm was quite satisfied with the room.

Tutto molto ospitale e perfetto.!!!! giusto i letti un po' piccoli..!!! sul televisore non si prende la 7.... fdatevi.....

We expected a cleaner and a more quiet room. We got a non-smoker room with parquet on the floor which was perfet for non-smokers like us. The furniture was nice but the bathroom was not wery well cleaned and the the shower was awfully dirty. The main problem were the noises that coud be heard while sleeping, people watching tv, speking and walking in the other rooms. The buffet breakfast was good and on line with the category of the hotel.

As the other comments. Convienient, easy to find, noisy, no AC. Also 10min walk to funicular to old town. But very good and inexpensive dinner with helpful staff.

This was our second visit to this hotel and we used it as a base to explore the area. It was great value for money, the staff were all extremely friendly and the food in the restaurant superb!

There are three hotels, side by each, in this very noisy area. our stay would have been OK if they had put us in a room that had a working AC. to their credit, they did try to fix it but it gave out during the night much to our discomfort. language was a bit of a problem at check-in and in the restaurant. but they usually could find someone nearby to help with the translations. check-out went very smoothly with no language problems. it was a good location for visiting the town. we did a one night stop-over on the way north. did I say the place was 'squeaky' clean? oh, lighting in the room could have been brighter.

In July the air conditioning was not working!!! The hotel was close to the Autostrada, easy to find and very reasonably priced. Great location and price for a stopover on a long journey from south to north. The breakfast was excellent compared to other pricier hotels in Italy. If only the air conditioning was working!

Nice place with good access to one of the most beautiful old walled cities in Italy. Easy to find and good parking. Rooms were OK for the price. Would recommend this place and a visit to Orvieto. Also, great wine!!! And an excellant dinner. Ciao

Room was fine but some noise as it was near the train tracks. Biggest complaint was that the air conditioning didn't really work. It was hard to sleep due to the heat and the train noise. Parking was free. Location was poor as you had to take a taxi to get to Orvietto.

As indicated:easy access from the autostrada,friendly service,a bit noisy but not too much and an excellent meal served after our arrival around 22.30.

We had a great time there. The employeers treated us very well. The only "bad" thing is the hotel was quite far away from the medieval village

First the Bad. The hotel is situated on a busy road with train tracks running in front of and behind the hotel. Quiet you will not get. In April, The neither the air conditioning or heat worked. There was a broken toilet seat. Now the good. Very well situated to do day trips with the car. Lots of free parking. Excellant breakfast (fresh cheese, sliced meat, peach, pear and apricot juices, fresh capucino, fresh croissant (plain, chocolate and fruit filled) fresh bread and cereal etc. The night manager spoke good english (daytime lady, not a word). We would not stay there again because of the train noise and lack of heating and cooling. Too bad. Situated elsewhere this would be a great hotel.

The room was not quiet, because there are train tracks with trains on both sides of the hotel. However, this is a convenient hotel to the autostrada and service was friendly. The BEST part is the restaurant- The service, food and wine were some of the best we had in Italy. We would go back there often if it were possible. Please do not miss this gem of a restaurant if you are in the area.

We arrived at 4am due to flight delays and lost luggage. Host could not have been nicer. They even held breakfast so we could sleep in until 11am. We liked it so well we stayed an extra night. Loved the hill town of Orvieto.

Tout s'est révélé conforme à la présentation Internet, sous réserve de vérification des tarifs dès l'arrivée à l'hôtel; les animaux sont acceptés. Par contre, le restaurant de l'hôtel n'a apparemment pas de menu pour ses clients et n'est donc pas économique. Le parking fermé permet de ne pas avoir à vider sa voiture!

The hotel was correct!

It has a very good location and is easy to find. The breakfast was good by italian standards and the hotel was clean but there isn't much in the way of character. It is like any other American chain hotel.

Room and desk service good; location in a noisy environment (highway; fast train track); poor breakfast and very poor breakfast service

This hotel is very good at a reasonable price and with friendly service. It's comfortable and absolutely fine for a night or two's stay. The drawback is its situation next to a busy road and railway line. Take ear plugs. Spend the day out and about.

Hotel is located on a busy highway just off the Autostrada so can be noisy and when we were there in late September the AC was off. They switched it on because we complained about the heat and with the sliding door open there was too much noise and light. At 3:00 am I went down to the desk to make sure the AC was still on and it was but in ours and our friends rooms it was completely useless. Had a sleepless night due to the heat.

This was a business trip and the hotel was exactly what I needed. Since I was driving it was especially convenient on and off A1 and to other locations I needed to go. Also easy to the train station. The facilities were a good value and the staff excellent, very friendly and helpful.

Good simple hotel, not luxurious but comfortable

The staff at the desk is very friendly, the hotel is close to main roads, a train station and a motorway, and a few minutes from the old town; although the motorway and train rail are close to the hotel, the rooms are well isolated to the outside; to the inside, this is less the case, so noise from the other guest rooms can be sometimes annoyingly loud; the only other minus is the breakfast, which was a limited both in quantity and choice

O.k. for one night. Für einen Zwischenstopp nach Süditalien ideal. Fenster sollte man nicht geöffnet lassen, da man sonst wegen des Lärms der Schnelleisenbahn nicht schlafen kann. Dann braucht man jedoch die Klimaanlage. Das Frühstück war gut und reichlich.

Good quality for the price paied the management is very friendly and welcoming has been excellent the only really negative site is the location far away from town centre (but very good considering highway proximity)

We loved it! Everyone was helpful and nice and accomodating. We enjoyed the rooms and the meals in the restaurant. Overall, it was a great place to stay and I would choose this hotel again.

Le personnel est d'une grande gentillesse. L'hôtel se trouve en prenant à droite, vers la vieille ville, en sortant du péage.

The telephones did not work, the rooms were not cool enough, and it is between two train tracks.

Bon hôtel très bien situé pour une étape entre France et Italie du Sud

A great hotel for a base when visiting the area. It was easy to find from the motorway, had a good bus service into the old city and provided plenty of local information. We were intending to go out and eat but the staff said that their own restaurant provided good local food. They were spot on! The hotel restaurant was excellent - the presentation immaculate and the food and wine truely superb (and I am Italian, so I should know). The cost - a fraction of what we payed at other hotels during out holiday in Italy - we will most certainly be back.

Good value hotel with great staff. We had car trouble and they actually drove us to the funicular in Orvieto. Rooms could be a little more sound proof (or other guests a little more considerate!).

Front desk personnel were warm and welcoming. The hotel itself is fairly ordinary but the friendliness of the staff would be my reason for returning. We ate in the restaurant there both nights and enjoyed the local Orvieto white wine and the friendly service. I would like to point out one glitch in the operation. No one seemed to be in charge of refilling the breakfast platters. One needed to arrive on the early side to get something to eat.

Nice Hotel Friendly & helpful staff

MY only real complaint was the air conditioning, which, even at full power, was inadequate to really cool the room down. Trying to save money on air conditioning expense? Not a good idea.

If you get off the train in Orvieto, don't stay at Gialletti. It's a cheap EconoLodge. No taxis to be found in more than an hour waiting. You'd be lucky to find the public bus which sometimes goes by the hotel. It's a cheap EconoLodge with a busy highway on the front and a busy train track on the back with a dump next to it. The desk clerk was too busy to recognize us despite the bell we rang. We had to track him down. He still didn't care. The hotel should be rated a Two-minus star at best.

Good value hotel, but just off the highway - convenient, but not beautiful location. Friendly management & front desk, but breakfast staff not too nice. Very nice breakfast though.

It is very nice and clean hotel. I highly recommend it.

If you are driving, this is a very good choice since it is close to the motorway. If you are coming by train, the location is less convenient.

We were very pleased with the hotel. We booked it on "spec" and thought it was good value for money. The only drawback was that the staff on duty when we checked in and out didn't speak English but this is only a minor quibble. The hotel's best selling point is that it is close to the Autoroute and to Orvieto which is a lovely town. We were also pleased with the satellite TV because we caught up on all the news we had missed in the previous week!

Travellers were Dr and Mrs. Jammine who thought establishment was really great value for money with staff being helpful and informative. We are a South African large Travel Agency, Rennies Travel.

Great hotel but not close to orvieto centre

My main problem with the hotel, is that it is located in the imediate vacinity of a main city entrence road and between two railwais - the sleeping part was difficult!

It is very easy to find the hotel for a car driver.

No charm but very convientienly located and clean and comfortable.

Our party consisted of 2 adults and 2 children. It was our first night of a 2-week stay in Italy. The hotel was easy to find and comfortable. Parking was convenient and the breakfast buffet was delicious. The room was very adequate for 4 people. There were no problems with our reservations using your service, and the price was among the best we experienced on our trip.
