Chocohotel

I booked this place because I thought my son would like it but I ended up enjoying it too. The property itself is a basic three star older hotel. Rooms are small and simple and beds are not very comfortable especially if you don't like firm beds. But it was very clean and I actually like having a bathtub. But obviously nobody stays here for the room. The chocolate design touches were cute and fun. But the biggest surprise was the breakfast. I expected it to be full of cheap products and more about quantity than quality but it was much better than I expected. The chocolate items were exactly like the pictures, a really impressive array. And the quality was quite good, bettee than the four star hotels we stayed at in our week in Umbria. I had a very good chocolate covered canollo, sone fudge pie, some little treats and the dark chocolate sauce. What was nice was that they also had a good selection of savory items. The fresh focaccia, ricotta and tomatoes as well as fruit and yogurt and the usual croissants and baked items. I only ate a tiny fraction of what was on offer but I give the breakfast five stars for both quality and selection. Parking was tight but manageable and location was not charming but convenient to drive up to the old city. Their shop has lots of interesting and reasonably priced itens. Overall I wouldn't want to stay here long term but for a night or two it's a unique and enjoyable place that really lives up to its theme

Breakfast sugar overdose, for sure. The hotel is conveniently located close to Perugia train station, but mind that the city center is 400mt elevated in relation to the hotel. I injured myself during the trip and had to move with crotches. This was a challenge, as Perugia is truly a hilly town. However, the hotel is very well connected by bus that takes you straight from the hotel door to several main squares of the city in 20 minutes. The staff was very very kind, in particular the staff working at the breakfast station. If you have a crave for sugar, this hotel will satisfy your needs. It does need to catch up with vegan options though. I found the room impeccably clean and cozy. Not the most sophisticated or contemporary, which I also do not enjoy. My bedroom was facing a road that gives access to the highway and still was rather quiet (in case you're noise sensitive consider asking for floor 2 or 3, facing backyard). There are two supermarkets 10 minutes walking distance from the hotel, in case you need them, as well as pharmacies. All and all, a nice staying with a fair price. I'm adding a photo of the swimming pool on the terrace (open until 19:30). Bring a cap if you want to dip.

Great hotel and the staff are incredibly helpful. Property is very clean with spacious rooms.

Top the courtesy and the style, looks very great. A bit of negligence in the maintainence in the bathroom: the hand shower was unstable (very bad for such a hotel...) and the wc flush had a little leak. The hotel is along a very crowded road and the rooms on the front side suffer a bit of the car traffic noise.

The breakfast was very good and parking was also very good. The staff was courteous, helpful, efficient and friendly. Unfortunately, the rooms are lacking. I felt like I walked into 1985 and perhaps the mattress are from that era, too. Not a place for a comfortable, restful sleep. The carpets in the hallways are stained and discoloured, so are their decorations. There are no extras in the room like an espresso machine, ice bucket, and certainly no computer jacks for charging electronics. Time for an overhaul of every room.
