Summary of reviews
Hotel Etruria is favorably located near the A1 motorway and just a few kilometers from Orvieto's historic center, making it an ideal spot for both short stopovers and extended visits. The hotel's strategic placement by the funicular station allows easy access to the city, while offering convenient parking and a balanced mix of tranquility and accessibility. Many guests appreciate the hotel's proximity to essential transport links yet slightly removed from the city bustle.
The breakfast experience is generally positive with guests enjoying a good selection of items, especially fresh and packaged pastries for sweet breakfast lovers. Despite some instances of chaos due to busyness and criticisms on the quality of savory items, the breakfast is mostly lauded for its abundance and the friendly, helpful staff who enhance the morning dining experience.
Rooms at Hotel Etruria are spacious and clean, but the structure is outdated with old furniture and fixtures that desperately need modernization. Issues such as noisy plumbing, cold water and the lack of air conditioning contrast with the otherwise functional and clean accommodations. Security concerns have also been raised due to poorly locking doors.
Cleanliness receives mixed reviews; while sheets and rooms are generally clean, there are issues like dirtiness in upholstery, mold in showers and a smell of sewage in some bathrooms. Despite this, the hotel maintains a relatively quiet and clean environment, though it shows signs of needing an upgrade and thorough clean-up.
The staff at Hotel Etruria receives consistent high praise for their friendliness, professionalism and helpfulness. The team, including the cordial owners and night porters, are noted for creating a welcoming atmosphere and their language skills and attentive service are frequently highlighted.
Beds, however, are a significant drawback with many guests finding the mattresses uncomfortably hard or broken, leading to poor sleep quality. This contrasts sharply with the general satisfaction found in other aspects of the stay.
Regarding its three-star rating, many guests feel that Hotel Etruria does not meet the expected standards. The facilities, especially the bathrooms and the overall condition of the hotel seem more aligned with a lower rating, leading to a perception that the price paid does not correspond to the quality received.
In conclusion, Hotel Etruria excels in location and staff service, though it struggles with outdated infrastructure, bed comfort and certain aspects of cleanliness. Significant refurbishment is needed to better align with its three-star rating and meet contemporary hospitality expectations.

Parking availability and the hotel's position in Orvieto Scalo further add to its appeal, particularly for those with cars. The location is particularly beneficial for those seeking a comfortable stay during long road journeys, mentioned as perfect for quick stopovers.
Overall, the convenient and strategic location of Hotel Etruria, combined with its accessibility and proximity to Orvieto's historic center and the motorway, makes it a favored choice among travelers.
Breakfast
At Hotel Etruria, guests have a mixed yet predominantly positive experience when it comes to breakfast. Many appreciate the "good breakfast" with a "wide selection," highlighting an "abundant and good breakfast" and an "excellent and plentiful breakfast." The buffet-style offerings are noted to include a broad variety of choices, particularly for those who enjoy a "sweet breakfast," with fresh and packaged pastries being a common feature.
Despite some guests finding the breakfast "chaotic" due to busyness, many still regard it as "very good" and "excellent." The hotel's breakfast receives praise for its abundance with terms like "plentiful selection" and "abundant breakfast" frequently mentioned. The presence of friendly staff adds to the pleasant morning experience.
However, the breakfast isn’t without its criticisms. Some guests find it wanting in quality and variety, especially concerning savory items. Remarks about the prevalence of "packaged and poor-quality foods" and "low-cost snacks" suggest that there is room for improvement. A few reviewers describe the breakfast as "poor," "modest," or "sufficient," and point out limitations in the diversity of the offerings, primarily when it comes to fresh options and savory dishes.
For those who favor sweet items, the breakfast appears to satisfy, but those looking for a more balanced or high-quality meal might find it lacking. Despite these mixed reviews, the hotel's strategic location and accommodating staff play a positive role in the overall guest experience.
Rooms
Hotel Etruria offers spacious and warm rooms, making it a somewhat comfortable stay with a plus for friendly staff. However, the overall structure is dated and in dire need of modern renovation. Guests frequently note the very old furniture and fixtures, many of which seem to be stuck in the 60s or even the 70s, showing significant wear and tear. Cleanliness is average, though some rooms have faced issues such as ant infestations and poorly maintained bathrooms. Despite these challenges, the hotel provides a simple and abundant breakfast and it appears the rooms are generally clean and functional.
On the downside, many guests reported problems with the bathroom facilities, including noisy plumbing, cold water and cramped spaces. The lack of air conditioning in rooms that were marketed as air-conditioned has also been a significant issue, often only providing fans instead. Moreover, the old carpets and beds, lack of electrical outlets and poorly soundproofed walls detract from the overall experience. Security concerns were raised due to doors that didn’t lock properly with some guests feeling the need to push furniture against the door for better security.
While spacious, the hotel's rooms utilize outdated materials and décor, causing an overall impression that contrasts sharply with modern expectations. Enhanced maintenance and substantial refurbishments are essential for Hotel Etruria to meet contemporary hospitality standards.
Beds
When considering a stay at Hotel Etruria, potential guests should take note of the feedback regarding bed comfort. While some have mentioned the beds as compact and comfortable, the majority of reviews highlight a consistent issue with hard, uncomfortable mattresses. Visitors have described the mattresses as hard as bricks and even broken in some cases, leading to a restless night's sleep. Pillows have also been critiqued, adding to the overall discomfort. Though the rest of the stay was often deemed satisfactory and the hotel's proximity to the railway acceptable for short stays, the bed quality was repeatedly cited as a significant drawback. Cleanliness of the restrooms was noted positively, despite their small and basic nature. For those prioritizing a good night's sleep, the bed situation at Hotel Etruria may fall short of expectations.
Cleanliness
Hotel Etruria appears to offer a mixed experience when it comes to cleanliness with guests frequently highlighting both positive and negative aspects. While many note the cleanliness of the sheets, rooms and bathrooms, there are recurring concerns about outdated furnishings and a general need for improved hygiene. Some specific issues mentioned include dirtiness in the upholstery and carpets, mold in the shower, dust in various areas and even a strong smell of sewage in some bathrooms.
On the positive side, guests appreciate the overall clean structure and find the linen and rooms to be clean. Reports also suggest that the breakfast is clean and good and the environment is described as quiet and fairly clean. Despite these positives, the presence of small flying insects and incidents of foreign hair in the shower detract from the overall experience. The cleanliness of the restrooms is mentioned, albeit they are described as small and having precarious facilities.
Ultimately, the impression is that Hotel Etruria, once perhaps in its glory days, is now showing signs of decline with areas needing thorough cleaning and some modern updates.
Staff

The hotel's staff impresses with their efficiency and pleasant demeanor, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Many commend the team’s language skills and availability, highlighting a particularly courteous lady who exemplifies the overall high standard of service.
3 Star
Hotel Etruria has garnered mixed reviews regarding its three-star rating and overall quality. Many guests have expressed confusion over the three-star classification, suggesting that the hotel’s amenities and condition do not live up to this rating. The facilities, particularly the bathrooms, were frequently described as insufficient for a three-star establishment. Several reviews highlighted the general oldness of the hotel, noting a pressing need for modernization and better cleaning. Guests also found the offered quality quite low and not in line with the price paid. Breakfast was often described as poor, comparable to that of a one-star hotel. Despite being situated in a high-consideration location like Orvieto Scalo, the overall service and condition of the hotel failed to meet the expected standards of a three-star rating.
