Albornoz Palace Hotel Spoleto

“Excellent hotel and customer service!”

Very nice hotel conveniently located just off the highway, but at walking distance from the center of Spoleto. The large outdoor parking area is free for guests to use, but there is an extra charge for the garage. The hotel is modern and spacious, and you are surrounded by beautiful artwork everywhere. The rooms are large and clean and very quiet. We enjoyed the fresh selections of the buffet breakfast on the outdoor patio. The staff is very pleasant and helpful. A special shout-out to Fabio, one of the concierges, who came to my rescue after my gold necklace fell down the bathroom sink drain. He immediately came up to the room and with a special tool recovered the the necklace in no time! Imagine my relief…

“Is this an art museum?”

A building from the 60's in cement architecture, with several artistic notes outside. From reception, hallways and rooms you are surrounded by modern or contemporary artwork. the pool itself is "inside" a sculpture. Very original. It's a bit far from the old town, but don't forget that Spoleto ha… more

A building from the 60's in cement architecture, with several artistic notes outside. From reception, hallways and rooms you are surrounded by modern or contemporary artwork. the pool itself is "inside" a sculpture. Very original. It's a bit far from the old town, but don't forget that Spoleto has a network of underground treadmills. Rooms are spacious, bathrooms in need of refurbishment. Reasonable services, good breakfast. If it were in the center I would give 5 stars

“Bigger rooms, nice and quiet location”

The hotel is at the edge of Spoleto. Since Spoleto is not big, even then you can be in the city easily by walk only in 10 minutes. The view is great and the place is quite quiet. The rooms are spacious, comfortable even for 2 people. It must be a great hotel some decades ago, now already a bit ob… more

The hotel is at the edge of Spoleto. Since Spoleto is not big, even then you can be in the city easily by walk only in 10 minutes. The view is great and the place is quite quiet. The rooms are spacious, comfortable even for 2 people. It must be a great hotel some decades ago, now already a bit obsolete. It seemed clean, but the time has already passed… There is an aircon, obsolete, but works well. I tried to ask help, but the safe didnt work properly. There is a “gym” at the 5th floor. It is a rooftop with windows around. You can imagine on a sunny day…There is something, which blows air inside but that only means not to have 39 degress there but 33. Almost impossible to exercise there after the sun comes up or at night. The pool is ok, although a bit small to be able to swim. The breakfast is fair, you can find better food than the tipical sweet calorie-bombs such as croissants, cakes, and other sugary food. It is a big pity, that in the heart of Italy vegetables are not available at the breakfast! Not even a tomato, or cucumber, etc. Thats why if u want to eat ham and bread, you have to eat as dry it is, no veggies. The staff was kind.

“Too much art...not enough quality”

Albornoz Palace likes to make a lot of the fusion between art on show and a quality hotel. There are some interesting bits of art around but this does not detract from the fact that the hotel itself is a utilitarian at best, and simply tired at worst. A huge entrance hall, but with a tiny bar (tha… more

Albornoz Palace likes to make a lot of the fusion between art on show and a quality hotel. There are some interesting bits of art around but this does not detract from the fact that the hotel itself is a utilitarian at best, and simply tired at worst. A huge entrance hall, but with a tiny bar (that was not open when we sought a nightcap at 10.30); a large room, but largely empty with a small and old school bathroom. Fine for a night, and only 10 mins walk from the center of town, but do not be fooled by the charming photos.......
