Hotel Clocchiatti Next

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.

Wouldn’t recommend Not the worst hotel I’ve been in, but there were a few problems that made the stay less pleasant. Please be advised that late check-in might be an issue. On the app I booked it only said check-in opens at 2pm but not that it closes in the evening (8pm if I saw correctly). During late hours there was no one at the reception. The room was ok, but the one I stayed in was not to my taste, I suppose. Bright orange and pitch black don’t feel comfortable for a hotel stay, but others might like it. The hotel annex where most of the rooms are, seems to be built from a storage building or a barn. The room smelled, whether it’s the carpet or the drapes, I couldn’t tell. Service seemed quite poor and the gentleman preparring the breakfast was quite annoyed at being approached. Breakfast was ok, nothing special, we found better coffee and pastry in the bakery. The toilet was mostly clean, apart from the toilet seat which hasn’t been cleaned. I also found a few insects in the room. All in all, it’s not worth the price.

Hotel service did not correspond to the information on booking com and what the hotel itself stated. Not suitable for vegans. Had to pay for breakfast even though I didn't have anything to eat. I had to get oat milk myself. Shower hose was leaking and the water splashed in all directions. Wasn't repaired even though we were promised. Service staff in the breakfast room rude and unhelpful. In short: we did not feel welcome.
