Excellent parking. Everything was fine for the two nights.

So firstly, having read the recent reviews with photos I was initially worried. However, for a 2 night stay it was fine. Positives: *The girl who greeted us and checked us in and out was friendly and helpful. *The room (22) had plenty of mirrors and the hairdryer was a proper one,. *The bedding and bathroom were clean *Breakfast, simple but with choices of eggs, yoghurt, cereal, toast and pastries. Coffee machine and juice machine. *pool *honesty bar. Negatives: *It's a bit tired and shabby in places. * The decor is quirky at best, my room was dark orange and black *The lighting is awful, my room felt like sleeping in a nightclub. The decor in room. 21 was brighter and felt more modern. *The black corridors down to the rooms!!! *Pool needs a stronger filter and the spaces around the pool need a tidy up. Our rooms looked like they had private areas but people kept sunbathing right outside my patio door! You wouldn't sit on someone's balcony so that needs clarifying. I couldn't open the curtains or door because people were right outside. Question. What is with the keys? Mine had a huge circle keyring far to big for pockets and handbags. I had to keep hiding it in my brother's room. Also the honesty bar could use dome zero sugar soft drinks. All in all, 3 stars for a three star hotel. This place could be beautiful with a little more tlc and a less quirky decor.

Room was nice, quiet and roomy. Hotel is walkable to historic centre and some excellent restaurants with. Our 3rd time here and will return.

Ants were all over the floor in our room - in the shower, toilet, and swarming near a rug by the bed. We asked for a new room - hotel was full and they called other hotels but everywhere else was full. So they cleaned the room and we slept there. In the morning the ants were back. They said this was the first time this happened. They gave us 50% off the room (I asked for a full refund and they said no). Also when we ran the air conditioner at night, my husband woke up coughing a lot (zero other symptoms). Turned off the air conditioner and he was fine after about an hour. Also they scolded me for filling up a water bottle with filtered water at breakfast (we are cycling). This was a terrible experience, we had much better stays at budget hotels.

I would describe this hotel as quirky. Old building and a nice garden with very modern buildings added; some stylish decor in the entrance of the old hotel and perhaps the garden, but in other areas on the ground floor and in our room, I did not love the colour scheme or furniture, or the use of curtains instead of cupboard doors. We had 2 rooms and they were on the 1st floor in the old building; there were stairs to reach the rooms and a step up into the bathroom in both rooms. The bathrooms were ok: everything worked but our shower flooded the bathroom. The bedroom was not very spacious and the storage offered was not ideal. The bed was comfortable, the a/c worked fine. There was an honesty system to help yourself to drinks, which was a nice friendly touch. The breakfast buffet was good: some nice homemade things as well as some typical cereals, bread, etc. We made use of the garden and pool for an afternoon: it was nice to be in a city centre hotel and to have the garden and pool. The mosquitoes were hungry in that garden (and other places in Udine) and I got a lot of bites. The hotel was quiet and the location was convenient: easy to walk to the centre. Udine seems like a nice small city. We hoped to eat in a restaurant which we located and found closed; we ended up eating pizza (teenagers’ choice), so we didn’t get to experience the famous culinary delights of Udine.

Thank you Anna, Aldo and wonderful staff at Hotel Clocchiatti! Staying at your hotel is the highlight of our year of travels. The beds/rooms are clean and comfortable, and the grounds are beautifully landscaped with a small pool and patio. Breakfasts are delicious and generous, and the location is perfect for walking to the Teatro Nuovo.
