Albergo Orologio

Well located hotel with nice views. Unfortunately, the rest is not recommended. Super uncomfortable bed and pillow. You hear everything your neighbours say and do. Breakfast is very poor with only a few cold cuts and sweets. I expected more

the bedrooms ( 2 single rooms were very comfortable. I greatly appreciated the fact that Davide on receptiion quickly replied to any request by email for any information about the hotel, before booking. All the receptionists, dining and cleaning staff were very friendly, helpful, efficient and professinal, I would recommend Hotel Orologio, its very centrally located, the international breakfast was superb

Sukina and her afternoon/evening colleague at reception were wonderful, providing sightseeing and shopping suggestions. It is right in the middle of the old city and convenient to everything.

I have been to Brescia once before and stayed in a fantastic boutique hotel, the Locanda Delle Mercanzie however it was fully booked and instead I stayed at the Albergo Orologio which is not that far away. This traditional styled hotel is in an excellent location wight in the heart of the centre of the old town and with a huge array of restaurants and bars within just a few seconds of walking! It’s also only a five or six minute walk with a wheeled bag from the Vittoria Metro station. Very convenient. Check-in was easy, the receptionist greeting with a smiling face, giving advice, telling you about the hotel etc. It always makes you feel better when you arrive at a hotel and the staff are so warm and friendly! I had booked a single room but ended up in a double room. Wifi was excellent, a fridge in the room, toiletries, plenty of plug points, air-conditioning (although turned off at this time of year), a TV, seat and desk, a small safe (passports and small items…too small for a laptop). The room and bathroom were very clean. The furniture was old but it suited the character of the hotel. Old style, almost boutique like. Breakfast was delicious. Superb coffee and made for you by the waitress. Buffet style cereals, yoghurts, breads and croissants, cake cold meats and cheese. Maybe not the greatest variety but it was all tasty and I enjoyed it. Overall I thought this hotel was quaint, it was convenient, it was clean, very well priced and the staff were friendly. I would definitely consider staying again if I return to Brescia.

The staff were very helpful and friendly, breakfast was great, our room was spacious, and the only slight problem was odors from a restaurant next door. But otherwise, the location cannot be beat!

The hotel is ideally located, walkable to the main squares, shops and restaurants. The staff were all very helpful - rooms were comfortable and the breakfast was great. Would recommend the hotel and hope to visit again.

Very friendly and comfortable hotel right in the wonderful historic centre of Brescia, 2 minutes from the Duomo. The only reason I didn't award 5 stars is that the breakfast room is a little small if you like a long leisurely breakfast.

The best thing I can say for this hotel (aside from being old and in the historic center of Brescia), is the REMARKABLE STAFF! They were EXCELLENT, and did their best to ensure your stay was a good one. Other than that, the room was dimly lit, even with the drapes wide open, and come night, the lighting made worse. The bathroom also dimly lit, and the shower is small. If you are a person of GIRTH, then taking a comfortable shower might come with its setbacks. As it was for us, and we are NOT overweight. Plus, the sink drained horribly. There was a queen-size bed and a single bed in our room, and that made opening up the one-large standing closet with a lock, a challange. Because you would have to push the single bed aside, just to get to your clothes.Although, the housekeeping staff kept the room spotless, and with fresh towels and linen daily. As far as the breakfast: Average - a few notches above continental. But the coffee was awful! Even a brewed cappucino tasted weak, and unlike the cappucinos from other hotels or cafes. However, the woman working in the dining room did a great job and was quite kind.The hotel is within easy walking distances to practically everything. Also, there is also a wonderful-little bakery located directly across from the hotel,that has some delicious goodies. Finally, If you want to experience Brescia from a old-town perspective, then Albergo Orologio Hotel may be for you!
