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!
