Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers extremely comfortable and well-appointed rooms, including a separate queen bed area and cozy living area with nice single couches. The rooms are beautifully decorated, clean, and well-kept, with the added treat of a small balcony. The service is elegantly presented, helpful in arranging opera tickets and appointments, but could improve by restricting entry to the breakfast room for people with wet hair. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the main square and shopping streets, yet remarkably peaceful inside. The dining experience is delightful, offering a great selection of tasty options. Overall, a highly recommended hotel for a relaxing stay in the city center.
I had a fantastic stay at Art Hotel Orologio. The room was cozy and tastefully decorated, very clean with artistic touches, although the morning noise from the nearby clock and traffic was a bit disruptive. The room itself was huge, with incredibly comfortable beds, 2 bathrooms, and a wonderful view of the cathedral.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not so great experiences. The rooms were extremely comfortable and well-appointed, making my stay enjoyable, but the service was lacking and created a poor atmosphere. The location, however, couldn't have been better, right in the center near the main piazza, perfect for exploring historic Bologna. The dining experience offered a large range of dishes but had some room for improvement. Overall, the hotel provided a beautiful room in an excellent location but had some service issues that affected the stay.
The hotel was perfectly located in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore all the main attractions within walking distance. The rooms, although not very spacious, were nicely air-conditioned and incredibly comfortable. The service was excellent, especially thanks to the friendly and helpful reception staff. However, the dining options were somewhat limited in hot choices. Overall, a convenient and comfortable stay right in the vibrant city center.
