The property occupies a renovated period building and offers four room types, all air-conditioned and equipped with free WiFi, flat-screen satellite TV, minibar and private bathroom.

Guests have access to an in-house bar, buffet breakfast service, 24-hour reception and free private parking, a notable advantage for those arriving by car in the city centre. Location is one of the most appreciated strengths: from here it’s easy to reach the funicular up to Piazzo, the medieval quarter overlooking the lower town, as well as Santo Stefano Cathedral and the main local restaurants. The hotel suits both business stays, thanks to its meeting spaces, and short cultural breaks in the Biella area.
The rooms at Augustus Hotel share an essential and well-kept set of features: air conditioning, free WiFi, flat-screen satellite TV, minibar and private bathroom with courtesy set. Sizes range from 16 to 24 square metres, offering options suited both to solo travellers and to those seeking more space as a couple.
The Single Room, the most compact, is designed for one guest, while the Double Room and the Twin Room share the same 18 square metres but differ in bed configuration, with garden views available only in some units. The Junior Suite, the largest at 24 square metres, adds a separate sitting area and is the ideal choice for those wanting extra comfort during their stay in Biella. Several rooms enjoy views of the city or inner courtyard, as well as a bathtub as an alternative to the shower.

Augustus Hotel is located in the heart of Biella, on Via Orfanotrofio, right by the pedestrian area that connects the historic centre with the city’s main shopping streets. The neighbourhood is quiet yet lively, with shops, bars and small venues animating the streets a short walk from the hotel, without the traffic typical of main roads.
Biella Piano station is about 500 metres away, while Biella Piazzo station is 700 metres away: both quickly connect the centre with the rest of Piedmont. Those travelling by car will find the private garage parking convenient, especially given the hotel’s location within a pedestrian area. The nearest airports are Turin, about 50 km away, and Milan Malpensa, 51 km away, both reachable in just over an hour by car.
A short walk away are Santo Stefano Cathedral, the Baptistery and the Tower, remnants of the medieval historic centre, while the funicular, reachable within a few minutes, leads up to Piazzo, the upper part of the city with cobbled lanes and views over the Biella plain. Nature lovers can venture to the Brich di Zumaglia and Mont Prevè Nature Reserve, about 4.8 km away, or to the Oropa Sanctuary, a pilgrimage and trekking destination about 8-9 km from the centre, particularly scenic in summer for high-altitude walks and in winter for snow sports in the surrounding basin.
