Easy to reach, near the station and the bus stop, an internal private parking is available for guests. A few steps from the Teatro Nuovo Giovanni da Udine, a 20-minute walk from Piazza Libertà. Free and high-speed wifi throughout the hotel. Breakfast with selected products and artisanal coffee from the area. Hospitality, attention, professionalism have given us the affection of many guests and various awards and prizes (both in business and in leisure).

The rooms are reasonably…read moresized, the beds are OK (somewhat on the stiffer side), one can easily get away with the knowledge of just English. Breakfast is good. There is a parking underneath the hotel for an extra 14 euro per day. It is typically possible to park also in the blue-marked spaces next to the hotel or across the street for free, however, the local parking regulations are kind of complicated, so check at the hotel desk for the restrictions. The area is very safe. The mini-suite has a balcony and the sitting area not separated by any partition from the bedroom; the balcony was not useful to us as the window opened onto the typical Italian concrete jungle. A restaurant downstairs serves quite passable Italian fare in the evenings; the food is not exciting. A star is deducted for an inconvenient (free) WiFi login that requires re-entering the password after each power-up and the minor mishaps caused by the maid (she was apparently interrupted mid-service, so on the second day we ended up with a pair of thick rubber gloves in the bathroom but without the tea tray).

The hotel is on a street about 10 minutes walk to the middle of the old town. It is about four blocks from the train station. There is a small park right across the street, a convenience store next to the hotel, and several restaurants on the same street. The rooms have been renovated just a couple of years ago and are very nice. The breakfast is continental and the staff are friendly. Most speak at least some English. The internet access was included. However, it was not always reliable. I got dropped several times each night. It is possible I was at the edge of the wireless coverage though. I was usually able to reconnect quickly. My customer had a direct bill arrangement so I do not know the price. I would certainly be willing to stay there again.

I was in constant contact with them advising on our updated arrival time. The young man that greeted us upon arrival was cordial and efficient. This morning at check out the owner accosted first my clients while they were eating breakfast, telling them they were rude for showing up late. Then after I paid the bill he started yelling at me for being late. He then proceeded to tell me to get out of his hotel without the breakfast I had paid for, was right up in my face and I thought he was actually going to hit me. He continued to call me names and chased me out of the hotel. I have never experienced anything like this in my life and hope never to again. Do NOT stay here!! Owner is a psychopath!!

Everything about this hotel and restaurant is pleasantly eccentric. The decor. The layout. The…read morebreakfast...let's start with breakfast. This is a spa and wellness hotel. So the breakfast buffet reflects it. You will find vitamins on the buffet. Their muffins are steamed in mason jars rather than baked, and come in many varieties including a "herbal purifying muffin". You scoop honey straight from the comb. A plain croissant is labelled as "empty". It's a little heavy on the baked goods and light on the full-English breakfast style stuff, but the wide selection of trad Friulian cakes makes up for it. By the way, you can have dessert for breakfast, too--the buffet includes the likes of a creme brûlée. The restaurant, though, is where the lovable oddness of the place really takes off. The family who owns the hotel support every kind of programme that celebrates regional and seasonal Italian food. They're part of the Unione Buoon Ricordo, which means that if you order the local special main course, you'll be given a souvenir ceramic plate to take home. (I did. The dish was a rabbit croquette, and it was great). But my husband got he piece de resistance. He ordered the steak tartare and it arrived on a glass box containing hay. Earphones were attached, and the soundtrack to accompany his meal played cowbells and mooing. A splendid bit of theatre. But one item busts the La di Moret from a five star to a four. When my husband and I checked in, we needed to be very firm with the desk staff. Yes, we we're two men in the same room. Yes, we booked a double bed. No, we don't want to change rooms. The desk clerk consulted with her colleague who asked us the same questions over again. They looked distinctly uncomfortable, and if we had not been a long-married gay couple who are unselfconscious about such things, they would embarrassed us. I know that Italy does not share the same commitment to gay rights that the rest of Europe does. But this is the 2014. I'm happy to discuss these matters with La di Moret staff on our next visit--staff who were, otherwise, welcoming and gracious.

There is a bar across the street and a restaurant around the corner. The entire downtown is quite nearby and in walking distance. It's about 25 minutes to the train station on the other side of town. The hotel is reasonably priced and pretty convenient. A breakfast buffet is offered for an additional charge. Wifi is a feature of the chain and works pretty well. The room itself is comfortable and somewhat spacious with a window and view. Not the Four Seasons, but worked well for us. The bathroom had an unpleasant smell. And noise carries. The ground floor is zero so if you're room is on the first floor it is one level up. Enjoy!
