Hotel Rosalba

Great location opposite the escalator system up into the old town. The hotel is very run down and it was freezing inside. Everything I touched seemed to fall apart, I opened a cupboard door and the door came off in my hands. Then I picked up the phone and the receiver was not attached by its cord to the phone base. It felt like Faulty Towers. It really does need some tender loving care. The guy that works there was so polite and really keen to help. Breakfast was brought to my room, I had to chose a sandwich, juice and coffee the evening before and a time I wanted it delivered. This made it difficult as I was then stuck to that time to make sure I was awake and up. The hotel has potential but sadly has not been looked after.

This is a welcoming little hotel situated a few steps away from the elevator system into town. We enjoyed staying here. It’s not ‘posh’ but was comfortable and a great price for a nights stay. We had a large double room with a small balcony. The man on reception was incredibly helpful and did all he could to make us feel welcome. We appreciated his kindness to us. We loved walking the streets of Perugia. There is some occasional noise from a road (not directly in front of the hotel) in the evenings but we just closed the windows and slept soundly. We would return should we come again to this beautiful city.

Arrived early and was unable to check in however they accepted our bags and requested we return later. Spoke enough English to get by which was nice. Other than the booking cost, there is a €1.00 local tax per person per night to be paid at check in.||We stayed in Room 4 with a balcony that overlooks the Fruit & Veg Market. The room was very basic albeit spacious. A very small TV was in one corner. The complimentary Tea & Coffee facility didn’t have any coffee, when enquired why, we were directed to their local cafe which is a 2 minutes walk. This is also where the breakfast is held which consists of a coffee and a croissant. That’s it. ||The bed was comfortable with one extra pillow provided. Considering we were a couple, a second would have been nice. Ended up using a cushion to support the pillows. |The AC worked nicely cooling and warming the room as required. ||The bathroom although advertised as has toiletries, only had shampoo and shower caps. I’m bald so neither were of a benefit to me. Luckily there is a Pam Local supermarket which is 5 mins walk away. We popped in and got supplies. There is a fridge in the room which has some sort of a minibar containing two cans of Fanta, one bottle of beer and one bottle of Aperol Spritz and salty pretzels with a price list attached nearby.||There were no hot water upon our arrival and on our last day of stay from the shower or the bathroom sink. We ran the tap for 10 mins and enquired with the staff. It were repaired shortly after but as we were checking out, it was kind of late for us. ||There is no 24hr reception or front desk. Often we needed things and couldn’t find anyone to ask.||The best thing about this hotel is its location, walking distance to everywhere. Behind the Fruit & Veg Market there’s an entrance that takes you underground where there are three sets of escalators that get you into the heart of the Rocca Paolina and to the top plaza where the views are spectacular. From there you can literally walk the entire of Perugia taking in the culture and historic sites. The city is built on a hill meaning lots of steep climbs and descents including long stairs and windy bends but it’s all part of the experience.||The hotel is a good basecamp to explore but don’t expect luxury or amenities.

Very quiet with exception some loud motorcycles in the street nearby. Oyamado, the care-taker is a very helpful and kind man. Massimo, the owner and Oyamado do a very good job keeping the place in order. The escalator to the Main Street leading to San Lorenzo and restaurants are just 10 seconds away from the Hotel. Very convenient, and close to Perugia Train Station as well. One downside is that there is no elevator, the but the steps are not too many.

This hotel is in a great location. In just a few minutes on foot, you are in the very center of Perugia's historic center. The hotel is also located next to an open air market that sells fruit, vegetables and meat in the morning. Our room was very comfortable and had a view of the market area. We were able to park nearby on the street but there is also a covered parking garage just a few minutes away. Be aware that parking can be tough to find and you have to pay for street parking from 8am to 8pm.||The staff at Rosalba was very nice and helped to make our stay enjoyable. Perugia is such a beautiful city and this a great place to lay your head.

We stayed three nights in May 2018 and could not believe the quality and service we received for an extremely reasonable price. As others have noted, this small hotel is right next to the scala mobile, the escalators that take you to the historic center in the Rocca Paolina. It is so close to the center that we could easily go back and forth in the same day. Very comfortable and pleasant. I highly recommend the room we had, with a small balcony, above the main doors.

Hotel is centrally situated - parking is available (although its a bit of a faff) and its a short walk to the bus station. The underground is five minutes walk, which takes you right in to the centre. My room was on the first floor, overlooking the fruit and veg market - it was clean, comfortable and good aircon. Breakfast is at a little cafe nearby. Overall excellent value for money

This was perfect for the following reasons:-||-excellent location near to the escalators that went up through the fortress to the beautiful unspoilt town, 2 mins away. The bus station is also close by.||-accommodation is simple but spotlessly clean. Room and bathroom cleaned thoroughly each day. Spacious room and comfortable bed||-friendly,cheerful staff who wanted things to be right||-excellent value for money
