Hotel berhampiran Parco pubblico Montegrillo, Perugia

Abbiamo soggiornato una sola notte. Hotel grande con ampio parcheggio e posizione comoda a circa 15 minuti a piedi dal centro. Struttura con grandi potenzialità ma purtroppo non sfruttate basterebbe qualche accorgimento per renderlo più invitante. (Togliere la moquette ). Camera spaziosa nonostante eravamo in 4. Pulizia sufficiente nella camera. Il bagno grande ma sarebbe bene controllare gli scarichi dei sanitari e gli angoli della vasca che non erano ben puliti. Colazione abbondante e varia, sarebbe buona norma mettere i cartellini vicino a ogni vassoio con le indicazioni necessarie dei vari prodotti.

The two stars given are for location, food in the restaurant and housekeeping. We found the staff here not just brusque but actually quite rude. On our first day the bar was open and there was someone serving, we ordered drinks, we’re given some snacks and we sat on the terrace. There was a school trip here as part of the jazz festival, it would have been good if our travel agent had been told of this, we may have chosen elsewhere. The location is good to walk into town with the escalators. There was no one working at the bar for the remaining two nights of our stay and each time we had to ask reception to serve us, each time this seemed like a chore for them and wasn’t met with a smile. They hadn’t bothered to get any ice so the drinks weren’t very cold. One morning one of the reception staff was counting our cash, I went back 20 minutes later to ask for change (the ATM had given us two €50 notes) and we didn’t want to use those for taxis. I was told they had no cash (there is also a sign saying they have a cash desk open. There is a pool but swim cap is mandatory and you have to get a key from reception and they limit numbers if it gets too busy. No irons in the room, apparently they have an ironing room where you can go to. The food in the restaurant was lovely. Once again let down by poor service. We will definitely return to Perugia, we won’t return here.

My mum and I stayed at Chocohotel for 2 nights and found some great positives and a few negatives with our stay. The whole chocolate theme is really cute and well exploited across different areas of the building, from door signs to bedside lamps, to our room keys and even the walls. Our twin room was spacious, with comfortable beds and the signature chocolate themed decor. Breakfast was tasty with loads of indulgent chocolate options, though it didn’t get refilled after 9.15 when we came on our first day and by 9.40 most of the food had already been taken in (it supposedly ended at 10?!). At dinner time, we tried the chocolate tasting set menu, which was indeed very good but, maybe due to a large business group having dinner at our same time, we didn’t feel particularly looked after by the waiting staff as service lagged. My main complaint was the poor room service and overall cleanliness of the room. I won’t go too much into detail on the multiple issues we’ve had as reception was informed and were very apologetic and understanding. They tried their best to make up for the poor standards and we appreciate that. The location isn’t great for travellers without a car as it’s a bit of a trek from the train station (mileage itself is little but the road is busy and at times with no pavement) and equally it’s a steep walk to the town centre or alternatively another walk back to the train station for the nearest metro stop. 2 nights at chocohotel were plenty. I would argue that one night is more than enough to enjoy the fun part of the experience - i would actually recommended coming for the day, maybe for a dinner or for the hotel store almost as an attraction in its own right but would probably stay in a different, “normal” hotel in a more convenient location.

Lovely castle hotel. Even in winter! This beautiful castle has amazing views, beautiful outdoor spaces, incredible food, unique rooms, and a warm and welcoming staff. Take some time to wander the hallways, public rooms, and nooks and crannies so you can admire all the thought that was put into the restoration of this castle. We had chilly weather while we were there, but we were never cold inside the hotel. Our room was warm, plus the staff was happy to build roaring fires in the bar and sitting room for us. The outdoor areas are gorgeous, and it would be a treat to visit in the warmer months too.

We spent 12 days in Umbria and used Perugia as our home base. This lovely hotel is about 10 minutes from the center of Perugia. You must have a rental car to stay here as the bus rarely comes by and it is not within walking distance of Perugia center. We had a car so no issues for us, There is excellent on site free parking. The hotel is wonderful. Big thanks to the fabulous Jessica and Aymen at the front desk! They helped us every day and made dinner reservations for us several times. They were always warm, friendly and very helpful. The room was clean and lovely. The shower is small, but typical for Europe. The buffet breakfast included in the room rate is phenomenal. There is nothing they have not thought of to serve!! The staff at breakfast are also absolutely lovely. We had a wonderful time at this hotel!! Highly recommend.

Comodo parcheggio, comodo letto, ottima doccia, colazione aria e discreta. Hotel un po' antico ma funzionale per business. Omaggio di bottiglietta d'acqua e snack alla partenza, molto apprezzato.

Toccata e fuga in occasione di Umbria Jazz:albergo datato ma tenuto bene, camera singola molto piccola ma pulita e confortevole, colazione abbondante. Ubicato nel comune di Ponte San Giovanni a 8 minuti in auto dal centro di Perugia. Non ho avuto modo di provare la piscina. Tutto sommato mi ritengo soddisfatta. Ps:per la settimana di Umbria Jazz sarebbe utile mettere a disposizione un servizio navetta anche a pagamento(hanno una navetta nel parcheggio). Lo fanno già altri alberghi e basterebbero 4/5 corse al giorno per dare un servizio top.

An amazing stay over 5 day with family - pre-wedding. Nothing was too much trouble, the staff were jovial and friendly, the management just so willing to help. This hotel is large, it has some wonderful examples of 16th century art which has been passed down. Beautifully furnished and cool, even in the heat of July. The gardens are massive, one may take lunch in the shaded glade, dinner in the restaurant, all of a good quality. We most certainly will return in the cooler season. Exceptional. (One observation is perhaps there should be a handrail near the steps of the pool, it can be quite slippy)
