It was more of an old hotel than antique ( things were worn like the carpet and furniture) could probably use some updating and it needs AC control for each room! It was 85 degrees for 3 days and they said the AC will begin next week. The TV is tiny for the size of the room but the make up vanity was a plus. The bed cushions and throws could be softer and balcony furniture definitely needs to be improved. It’s too noisy to leave the door open for fresh air so my nights we uncomfortably hot! II liked the location for walking and the hotel has complimentary bikes to get around! The staff was extremely accommodating and pleasant. I was given good directions and restaurant suggestions. I also received information for Bus and Fly from the reception and that saved me over €100 to get to the airport!! The breakfast croissants were yummy with a cappuccino to start my days! I liked that the area was local with a bar and supermarket. A bigger fridge would have been ideal to keep my own charcuterie, cheese and wine!! After all it’s Italy!!

The room was charming the bed ultra comfortable and the staff was very friendly

Decent option but breakfast was not great and rooms were pretty dated. Clean though, close to Ferrara center, and convenient for our purpose (commuting to Bologna for trade show).

Staff was great, very helpful when the airline lost my luggage. Found me a power converter and toothbrush.

wish it wasn't a full 23 minutes from the center of the old part of town, but but it was a nice walk (though hot when we were there). Otherwise a terrific hotel

Have mixed feelings about this hotel, reception staff AMAZING, couldn’t do enough for you. Bed comfortable and nice bedding. Breakfast mostly good with adequate choices. Lovely little bar. Overall hotel needs money spending on it. Definitely not a 4 star. Hotel, dated (I understand it’s a traditional hotel) Furniture broken and falling apart in our room. Heater old & broken. Not enough sockets. Heated towel rail not working. Shower old, a little dirty and flimsy. Wifi bad! Saying all this we found the hotel rather charming! 🤔

Very friendly staff and a lovely comfortable room

We seriously don’t know when this 4 stars were given, perhaps 30 years ago and has not been checked ever since. While the front desk staff was nice, the rest was all pretty 1 star (not that I have ever stay at one). Just pretty bad. The whole place felt like stuck in a few decades ago, many broken parts needed to be fixed. That low-cost hotel smell just extremely unpleasant. Located inside of a rundown commercial building… all of all, rather sad. A huge painting was full of big holes, wall trim was damaged, roof top seemed to be abandoned… Sorry to my time there and sorry to my pocket. I recommend the owner to close down this location. Seriously.

Hotel location good to walk into city centre but the hotel style a bit confused and dated, so really needs a revamp!.. Rooms clean and spacious but beds not very comfortable because too soft for my liking. Breakfast quality was not very good.

This hotel is a real gem. Very close to the train station so commuting to Bologna or other towns in Emilia Romagna is not difficult. I stayed a week in October in a double room which was a large en suite. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There are city bikes available at the hotel. The breakfast was open buffet with a large selection of food. For me it was the best stay I had so far in Italy.

Very clean hotel, close to the train station (walkable), very good and varied breakfast. The receptionists were very kind and informative. Rooms were neat and clean with all the supplies.

A little outdated hotel.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Very reasonably priced evening meals which were all excellent.

arrived at hotel, did not stay, Receptionist was accomodating, but hotel is situated over a shopping mall in a district which had much graffitti, and the car park strewn with litter, that did not feel safe. no restaurant but would call in pizza if required. nothing like the photos shown on the website. did not feel safe to leave car, so did not stay, despite paying for the night.

Poca luce nella camera. Vitri grafiati. Male insonorisato;si sente la TV della camera vicina alla nostra. Il servizio era buono.

Friendly staff. Ample public parking, we have no need to use the hotel's carpark. Very good breakfast. Good value for money.

About a 15 minute walk from the historic centre of Ferrara, the Orologio Hotel is spacious and welcoming. On arrival we were a little surprised that the hotel is tucked away within a shopping precinct and we drove past at first but once we entered the hotel we were warmly greeted by the receptionist who spoke excellent English. Our room was nicely furnished, clean and comfortable. Some of the public areas look to be in need of refurbishment but nonetheless were clean and tidy. The buffet breakfast offered a very good choice - cereals, fruit, cheese, cold meats, pastries, etc. There is a private secure car park (10 Euros) but we left our car parked on the street and it was perfectly safe. The hotel runs a shuttle service to and from the historic centre during the evenings but we decided to make the 15 minute walk and we felt perfectly safe walking in the area.

long walk to historical old town but ideal for parking (other hotels in old town have parking but the one way system makes getting to them difficult). The hotel is a bit tired and near busy road but set off it enough not to be noisy.

The hotel is lovely and the service was excellent. The room was spacious. It's a bit of a walk to the historic center of town, but the hotel provides a shuttle service.

Great service, very clean, great rooms, super breakfast, free close parking. Recommended !!!
