Hotel San Giacomo

We stayed two nights. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and we had complimentary wifi. Breakfast was quite satisfying. Very close to St. Francis Basilica. Everyting else is uphill. Walk the entire old town up and down, you will be blessed with many sights and sounds.

traffic is quite tricky in Assisi and walking includes hills and inclines. Hotel matron was very cordial. Offered an umbrella on a rainy evening. make reservations for dinner or the restaurant may be closed.

This hotel is very reasonnably priced but it was the best of our trip to London, Italy and France! Everything was very clean and comfortable. It was very handy to St Francis's Basilica and the family who runs it is very warm and welcoming. Their Enlish is good. We highly recommend it!

Overall, the hotel was fine for the money we paid. The room was a bit odd: it was literally like a cave with one small window looking into an inner lightshaft. There is no view, even being so high on the hill. The little decks for smoking are right outside other rooms, and also don't really have a view. Be aware that, while it is close to the Basillica, in is all uphill. If you park in the carpark nearby, that is fine. From the train station and bus, I wouldn't recommend it with much luggage or if you aren't in good condition. The staff was lovely, and the breakfast better than average.

When we arriaved we were told that we were in one of the "medieval rooms".....antique.(Must have been upgraded due to two tour groups) Elevator was small. One passenger with bags. My wife went up first...second floor. I followed. Even though it is a second floor it is various levels on that floor. I went up two steps and my wife's luggage was at the bottom of about 8 steps. I went up the stairs and walked into a bright room with mulitple bricked arches in the ceiling...just as you see in the movies.....a king size room......a sitting area....a wardrobe and a place for luggage.(maybe 800 sq ft)...then a large window to walk onto a small terrace with a bistro table and two chairs and great views of the landscape. The bathroom was a typical size for Europe....the shower head was in the ceiling with a wrap around curtain. This room was spacious....not sure if it was airconditioned...kept the windows open. Free WIFI in the lobby area was great. Nice continental breakfast....next door was a very reasonable resaturant with great Italian cuisine. (Hotel had a restaurant....the tour group used it for dinner.) Would stay again...especially if we could get one of their "medieval rooms"

A good distance from the city center (just enough not to be bothered by noise). Just a few steps from the St. Francis Basilica. On top of that he family that attends this establishment is very friendly. Parking is very close to the hotel (which is very convenient in a town like Assisi). It's easy to experience this great place in a hotel like this. GREAT!
