“Too noisy!”

We just wanted an overnight stay to see Orvieto for the day - chose this hotel as parking was included and it seemed a good price. The room and bathroom were spotless. Short walk to the funicular railway that takes you up the hill to Orivieto proper - this hotel is in Orvieto Scala at the bottom of the hill. You need to catch the last funicular down at about 9.30 - or walk - we didn't see the steps down by the side of the funicular and ended up walking miles along the winding road down in the dark! Also the hotel is right next to the main station and freight trains were passing our window all nignt - the other side is a busy road - so if you stay here take earplugs! Also the proprietor spoke no english and kept saying she couldn't take credit cards as her machine wasn't working, I persisted and magically it was working just as we were about to leave - I think she just wanted cash. It was a plus point that we could park the car for free just outside the hotel.
