Art Hotel Orologio

Location was central. Easy to walk everywhere. Breakfast every morning was plentiful with a large assortment to choose from. The front desk was extremely friendly and helpful with dinner reservations, etc... We had a suite on the 3rd floor and there was plenty of room to relax without feeling confined. Pillows and bed were comfortable. With the hotel situated off of the main piazza, we were concerned about the noise level. Happily, we had no trouble with the outside noise that some other travelers mentioned in their review. We would definitely stay here again

The hotel is charming and has character. It is located just off the Piazza Maggiore, near enough to walk easily but far enough to reduce most of the noise from the piazza. The room was comfortable and perfectly adequate for two people. Breakfast was a buffet on the premises. There were nice restaurants nearby, including a couple right across the side street from the hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful.

The location was excellent just close to piazza maggiore. Family run personal service. All the staff were really good, very friendly and helpful. Front desk and breakfast service was perfect. The room was cosy, comfortable and kept very clean. The bed was very comfortable with lovely linen. Amenities in the room were good with a powerful hairdryer!

I loved this hotel. Orologio is a wonderful place to stay in Bologna. It’s located right at a corner of the main historical place, the rooms are beautiful. It looks like they have more traditional styled rooms and more modern ones, when booking I opted for the more traditional style. When visiting very old historical cities I like if the hotel design matches and is not too modern and I was very satisfied. Also like to mention that it looks like they upgrade guests if they have this possibility which is a great service to the guest. Service and friendliness deserve to be mentioned specifically – room service for breakfast (see picture) and diner if you like, umbrellas available if it’s raining, you get a free city guide at arrival, big selection of tea in your room, free candies, etc. It’s just the many little details which make a difference. And I also like to mention the room maids, the rooms are very, very clean despite being staffed with furniture which is not easy to clean.

The location is perfect for walking all over the city, right at Piazza Maggiore and walkable to so many fabulous restaurants. The hotel is in a pedestrian zone, but the wonderful hotel staff was very helpful providing instructions on how to access the hotel via car to check in and then direct us to a reserved (very close) parking space. The hotel staff was very welcoming, friendly and very helpful with helping book dinner reservations. We stayed in a lovely suite, which was very spacious, comfortable and had all the amenities that you could need. Breakfast was the same daily, but had plenty of options. The only thing we wished the hotel had was a formal bar area. Overall, we 100% would chose this hotel again the next time we are in Bologna!
