Palazzo Giusti Suites and Spa

I love a modern aesthetic, and from the pictures, this place looked very unique. However, travelers need to know that this is less of a boutique hotel and more of a residence, as you will not find the number of amenities that you would expect in a hotel. Our room was quite lovely and is located in the center of historic Urbino, close to restaurants and historic sites. They are working on creating a restaurant/café, but in the interim, they provided us with vouchers for breakfast at a bakery in the square. We found the staff at Palazzo Guisti to be quite nice, but unlike a full-service hotel, the staff was not always available. I can't speak to the spa because we were too busy touring the area and didn’t have time to check it out during this trip.

It was a rare experience to stay in such a beautiful historic structure with a state-of-the-art interior. In this ideal location, touches of old world beauty remain in the frescoed ceilings and substantial woodcraft, thoughtfully integrated with a very comfortable bed and spacious bath. Many thanks to the kind and super-helpful staff for providing important travel tips and dinner reservations. We were also delighted with the generous breakfast offered at Caffe Basili, a friendly place down the street with indoor/outdoor seating. We would gladly return to Palazzo Giusti and we highly recommend.

I love a modern aesthetic, and from the pictures, this place looked very unique. However, our enormous room was lacking in even the most basic amenities. Not even a box of tissue. I found the room to be modern but cold. And it was very noisy at night. The staff was nice although not often available. The location was excellent. For breakfast, they simply gave us a note on a business card and had us walk down to the local bakery (I think they are working on building a restaurant but it wasn't ready when we were there). I can't speak to the spa as we did not have time to check it out. All in all this hotel was lacking for me. If going back to Urbino, I'd likely stay elsewhere.

Luxury pure luxury. You stay in an old palace, right in the middle of the city. All the fittings and fixtures are top quality from the light switches to the shower to the entry panels to gain access. They organise a free pass to drive into the historic centre so that u can offload your luggage. Its an amazing place to stay. I didnt use the spa as we spent the day site seeing.

No breakfast on site. Intermittent staff at reception.

The hotel is right in the center of Urbino which is an incredible location to explore for a weekend. In terms of feedback for this hotel. Firstly, what an incredible job of refurbishing this building. The design and aesthetics are to be commended. It creates a stylish vibe. The beds are super comfy and lots of nice touches. However, we were in a room on the first floor corner, which meant we had a LOT of street noise. And when I say a LOT, I mean a LOT. Both nights sleep was short as the noise outside goes on until the early hours, only to be replaced by street cleaners. I checked out feeling exhausted and drained - not what I wanted or expected for a weekend in a small historic town (and the 1030am checkout time seems unreasonably early). Perhaps they have rooms higher up and away from the noise which would have been better.
