A good choice in Urbino
This hotel is perfectly located if you’re visiting Urbino for cultural sights andevents. It’s a two minute walk from the elevator where the bus from Pesaro stops (two minutes if you are a slow walker). You are also equidistant fromthe major and minor sights. Myroom and bath were very clean, cosy, with everything I needed. The lady at the desk was great; she helped me arrange a transfer to Rimini that saved me a lot of transit changes and annoyance. Breakfast was also varied and good.

The hotel was way above my expectations. I knew that the location was steps from the central piazza and well located for everything we wanted to see. At the price I did not have cpect the comfortable bedroom with an excellent firm mattress and an exceptionally good breakfast. We ate on a pleasant terrace with a comforting breeze with perfectly brewed cappuccino! I have my go-to hotel in Urbino

Spectacular view!
The most memorable thing about our room was the unforgetable view from the balcony across the town to the hills of Le Marche, and from the large window up to the fort. But the room was also very generous in size, nicely decorated and everything worked--we had some trouble with the A/C, but I imagine that would be fixed easily. The staff were very helpful, polite but not fawning, and I couldn't ask for more regarding breakfast in an Italian hotel: lots of fresh fruit, fresh croissants and other pastry, eggs, bread, cheese, jams, etc. And the location is perfect, across the road from the Ducal Palace. We drove and it was super easy to come into the pedestrianized street, drop off luggage and leave car in lot at 10€ a day. Highly recommended.

A fine place to stay
Very fine location; very comfortable; very quiet. In an old structure, the interior was very much modernized -- I mention this not as a negative, but as an alert to any visitors who would prefer to stay in a more ancient-feeling place; after all, you will be going to Urbino to enjoy a very old medieval city ...

Solid 3-star in central Urbino
Stayed one night in January. Hotel is on main street, and even in the dead of winter there is no parking adjacent to the hotel, although you can drive in to register and drop luggage and then head down to a large public lot below the town with an elevator (.50 Euro charge) up to the center. Hotel is very convenient to local squares, restaurants, and palazzo. Good condition, comfortable; staff congenial. Nice breakfast. Would stay again, although in summer might be noisy with crowds of tourists.

In the heart of a Renaissance jewel
The Albergo's closeness to one of the city's two major attractions was out-of-this-world -- go outside, take a few steps, and the towers of the Ducal Palace are there right above you. Breathtaking! I had heard that Urbino is small, but there is nothing like actually physically being there to realize just *how* small. Everything is literally within 3-to-5 minutes' walking distance. You can figure out some useful shortcuts to lessen the strain of walking the steep and cobblestoned streets within a few days, if you have the time. The view of the city from the park in front of the Albornoz Fortress is absolutely astounding. There is nothing else quite like it in Italy, or the rest of the world for that matter. A UNESCO World Heritage site, and rightly so.

Perfect location, close to the main town square.
We had a lovely time exploring Urbino and the surrounding area from this hotel's central location. We particularly enjoyed our visit to the Ducal Palace. We had some lovely food in a local restaurant too. The town and the surrounding area is very beautiful and we enjoyed exploring the countryside around the town.

Not on Thursday nights without A/C
The single room was clean but a little worn. The bathroom was good with a spacious shower and the breakfast was excellent. The only problem was that Thursdays is student party night and so the bar across the street was very noisy. My sleep was disturbed the entire night even from six floors up and with the window closed. The air conditioning should be left on in the winter so it could be used to drown out the drunks outside and cool the room since the window has to be kept closed.

Great location in a lively town
Urbino is a lively college town full of great art and splendid architecture, and Albergo Italia is a great location in the middle of it all. Very helpful and friendly staff, and the only problem with the room is that it was small. Well, they couldn't exactly knock out a wall of this wonderful Rennaisance stone building, could they? We'd certainly go back there.

we arrived around Easter so there were street fairs going making it difficult to get to our hotel. we had to park way down the hill and walk back up . . . however, I do not know what it is like to park there under normals situations. The location of the hotel is wonderful and we enjoyed being in the heart of town.

Nice modern hotel in the center of Urbino
The Albergo Italia is located right in the heart of Urbino, within the walls. It has been renovated extremely well with a lot of features that are rare in centrally located hotels, such as lights and nightstands on both sides of the bed, soundproofed windows that open, and a shower that's easier to get into and out of than most Italian versions. Other reviewers have complained about the size of the rooms, but ours was not bad by Italian standards. The breakfast was above average. Don't drive to the hotel without knowing what you're doing, though; you can get lost or fined or both. We parked outside one gate, walked in to get checked in and have our license plate registered, and then drove in to drop off our bags. However, you can probably drive straight there if you contact the hotel first. Parking was free in a few places outside the walls, but those are probably hard to find in busier months.

Great little hotel
Located just under the ducale palace walls. Looked like a modern renovation in an old shell, with blond laminates and simple white bathroom. Basic styling but good. Rooms are smallish. Access was easy via the lift from the underground car park outside the town walls, then just yards to walk. Don't attempt to take the car in! We could lean from the window and view the palace, but you couldn't sit and admire the view as it abutted the neighbouring castle wall so tightly. A well priced hotel in a stunning town.

top place
After the climb up from the bus station it was a delight to get this quality place. Right in the centre of the old town, steps away from nice eateries (cheap, moderate, upmarket) and the touristy places, it has double glazed windows that effectively soundproof the rooms so a sleep in a great bed is easy. Service was always available - even late at night. Great breakfast.

In the center of Urbino.
The location for touring Urbino was great. It couldn't have been better, next to the Ducal palace and the town square. Parking was separate, but turned out not to be a problem with a hotel discount at the mail lot. The elevator to the lot helped.

budget hotel
The hotel was clean, the service was wonderful, and the location (main piazza) can't be beat, but it was a budget hotel with some drawbacks. (1) The shower was smaller than on my sailboat -- not a big deal, unless you want to shave your legs. (2) The hotel has an energy-saving A/C system. The good news is that it is not typical Italian A/C. It gets really cold. The bad news is that it is programmed to turn off if you open a door/window. I'm all for saving energy. The problem is that it doesn't work. If you open a door/window, it goes off and won't come on again. You have to take out your key, leave the room, reenter, wait 3 minutes, and hope it comes back on. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it goes off and won't come back on even when you haven't opened a door/window. When it comes back on, it resets to meat-locker 22 degrees. We spent 2 nights, and I had to leave, and reenter about 20 times. The same is true for the automated "do not disturb" lights. At first, I thought that ours was broken. But, in 48 hours, I never saw another DND lit, even at night, leaving me to believe that the system is broken/disabled. (3) Wood floors in rooms and hallways + gaps under doors = crazy noise. We heard every door open, foot fall, whisper. Our fellow guests were not particularly noisy, but our hotel was. Not a big deal if you're an early riser, but if you're, I don't know, on vacation and wanting to sleep in a little, good luck.

Good central location
Central location very good, you can take the lift from the Mercadato car park. Staff very helpful. Breakfast good, but ask for espresso if that's what you want. Rooms are a little small, especially the bathroom. Not much in the way of atmosphere, but there is a terrace with nice views. Would be hard to drive right up to.

Modern and enjoyable.
A modern hotel in old Urbino, 2 minutes walk from the centre. Room a good size, with table and two armchairs. Kettle and tea things - a real rarity in Italy. Amazing views of Palazzo and Duomo from our balcony. Good breakfast, and you can make your own tea or pour out coffee: also rare in these parts. Cappuccino lovers also catered for. Not characterful, but very agreeable and convenient.
