Hotel Orologio ★

Varying sized rooms couple with a relaxing lounge

A loyal cadre of travelers have come to love the cheapest of the quartet, the 34-room Orologio , which overlooks a small pedestrian street off Piazza Maggiore on the clock-tower side of the town hall (orologio means “clock”––hence the name). Aside from this wonderful location, two of the attractions are the lounge, with its comfy couches, free snacks, and free Internet terminal, and the adjacent breakfast room with its generous morning buffet. The rooms—doubles for €140 to €270 (up to €340 during trade fairs)—are often small but nicely done, with patterned silk walls and old photos of Bologna, wrought-iron bed frames or inlaid wood headboards, handsome contemporary furnishings, and well-equipped marble-clad modern bathrooms. The suites, while not very large, have two rooms with extra touches like ceiling stuccoes in the bathrooms or marble column capitals serving as end tables.
