Reviews
We stayed in two rooms at Art Hotel Orologio—a triple and a suite—and each was decorated differently, yet both had a distinct, elegant style that gave the stay real character. The hotel is full of thoughtful details throughout, and the location right on Bologna's central square means you can enjoy the city's main sights without needing to go far from your front door. Breakfast was excellent, and the front desk team was fantastic from start to finish: they confirmed our room type ahead of the reservation to make sure it matched what we needed, and surprised us with a welcome gift on arrival. A wonderful base for exploring Bologna.
Location is very central but quiet. Staff friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Our room was a good size with a comfortable bed and a decent sized table. Good storage with a safe. There are some Charles Rennie Mackintosh Argyle chairs in the reception area which hints an art nouveau inspired touches and a nod to Blade Runner! Nice to see Glasgow represented in Bologna!
A wee update. It was very stormy tonight (15/7) and water came through the ceiling light. We informed reception and we’re immediately offered a new room - a suite. Staff were excellent, helpful and quick to respond. We cannot praise them highly enough.
really lovely hotel in the center of bologna. rooms were clean and modern. staff was helpful and the included breakfast was one of the best we've had thus far in italy
A charming stay in the heart of Bologna!
The location is truly unbeatable, right in the old city centre, with everything just steps away. The room felt like stepping back in time — full of character and history — while still offering every modern comfort a guest could wish for.
The attention and service were simply 10 out of 10.
My wife and I travel through Italy frequently, and usually come to Bologna once or twice a year. If you are looking for a perfect location to explore Bologna, you couldn't do better than Art Hotel Orologio. It's cental location, in the heart of Piazza Maggiore, makes seeing the sites easy and convenient. The staff are helpful and knowledgeable. The rooms clean, noiseless and comfortable. The cost, incredibly reasonable compared to it's competition. In addition, the breakfast, that came free with our stay was excellent and caters to all food allergy types.
We have stayed in several hotels in Bologna throughout the years and this is by far the best experience we have had. We will be back. If you are passing through Bologna, I urge you to consider staying here.
