Pleasant staff greeted us and kindly let us take the room early as we had arrived by sleeper train from Paris. The room was fine, well equipped, clean and, despite being in the centre of town was quiet. Breakfast was a more than adequate continental buffet. More

This is a lovely hotel, beautifully outfitted, and right in the center of Bologna's old town, which is an archtectural marvel. Breakfast was provided and was excellent. THe one warning, iof travelling by car, make sure ahead of time to get detailed directions to the hotel, otherwise you risk getting lost in the incredibly complicated one way system of the... More

The breakfast was beautiful (I'm now addicted to croissant creme) and the coffee was not a watered down 'tourista' version. We discovered our hot water was not working at 11pm and reception had it fixed within an hour and we found a bowl of cherries and a note apologizing for the inconvenience. The hotel was very centrally located and a... More

This hotel is in a great location and is a good place to stay in Bologna. No complaints except the lift is up two flights of steps, so you have to carry your luggage up the steps to get to your room. Otherwise all good, very cosy and friendly. Good breakfast if your not gluten free ! More

This is a wonderful hotel. The rooms are large by European standards and the bathroom was enormous with a beautiful bathtub! The breakfast was outstanding with delicious baked goods from a nearby bakery. I would come back to Bologna just to stay in this hotel! More

First impression wasn't great as it seemed to be a bank not a hotel. You do need to walk up about a flight and a half to get to the elevator. They upgraded us to a suite at the front of the hotel which was very roomy. Large clean bathroom, nice linens in the bedroom. The sitting room was a... More

I had stayed at another of the Art hotels in Singapore which was a star higher than this hotel as when I had been in Florence before I had been put off by the outside entrance to the hotel, but having now stayed here I have to say I could not tell the difference between the two. This hotel was... More

Great hotel. Great location and wonderful staff. Not often you stay in a hotel which has it's own stamp. So warmly welcoming and everybody was so helpful and friendly. They booked the best restaurants for us and gave the best advice possible when asked. The rooms are truly lovely - a real feel of Italy. The location cannot be surpassed... More

Just back from Bologna, where with 8 school friends, we celebrated a significant birthday. Stayed at the Art Hotel Orologio! they bent over backwards to ensure our stay was one to remember. The hotel is so central, around the corner from Piazza Maggiore. Close to nice bars and restaurants. Our rooms were lovely, with decor appropriate to the classical style... More
