I have coeliac disease, and I highly recommend this hotel to anyone with the same condition or even a gluten intolerance. When booking a trip to Italy, look no further. They provided a great range of gluten-free option for breakfast, complete with gluten-free croissants, pain au chocolate. The service at the hotel was amazing. During our bike trip across Italy, we stayed at several hotels, but none could match the charm and personal attention at the Hotel Orientale. From the front desk to the wait staff, everyone made us feel incredibly welcome, and they had a very secure place to store our bikes overnight om a locked room in the basement underground car park. It wouldn't have been the same if we had stayed anywhere else.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Room very comfortable and well-equipped. The breakfast selection on offer was plentiful and excellent. We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Orientale - thank you!

A couple of relatively minor issues - the replenishment of toilet tissue was a bit haphazard at times during our 4 night stay! The parking was fine, provided you are comfortable with manoeuvring up and down and around - it could be a bit of a tight squeeze, as you make your way to and from your allocated space. The set-up worked fine for us, but I'm not sure everyone would feel the same way. (Having said that, once you're in, the parking feels 100% secure....)

Excellent location in central Brindisi, on main shopping street, couple of minutes from the harbour. Very clean, good size suite (room 803) with separate lounge and very large balcony overlooking the city. Excellent choice for breakfast - cakes highly recommended!- and very helpful and professional waiting staff. Underground parking available at 10 euros/day. Great place to stay if you're flying late into/early from Brindisi and prefer to be near the airport.

The bed was not extra large as I think may be stated on this website. Didn't matter as there was a good single sofa bed in the lounge- took the reception staff a bit too long to find some sheets etc.

We only stayed one night as we were catching an early flight home. The staff were so welcoming and friendly and helpful. The hotel was like stepping into a calming oasis from the blistering heat outside and it smelt wonderful. The rooms are simple but with everything you need. The hotel is a two minute walk to the port and on a main shopping street. It is the little touches that count and in the morning, at 3.30am, we were delighted to see a small area where coffee, pastries, breakfast cereals and juice was set up for those early travellers. Well done to you all, you can tell you care!

Nothing.

Very comfortable property very nice stay. Don’t count on a smooth transfer from the port to the hotel. Taxis are unreliable scarce and transportation is horrible in Brindisi and in many other areas of Italy since there is no Uber or other third-party transportation services. The Taxi system is broken and failed. Enjoy walking.

Nothing, great place and they even provide bicycles, which is absolutely essential since you can’t get transportation otherwise

I loved staying at Hotel Orientale. The staff was externally helpful, they helped to book trip in nearby cities with local agency, helped arrange taxi and overall were creating such warm and hospitable atmosphere, I felt home away from home. The location was excellent, close to the sea but also to central cathedral, shops, supermarket. Restaurants. The room was nice size with all comfortable facilities. I enjoyed this hotel a lot.

Cant complain.

Receptionist was a VERY helpful Belgian lady, who greeted us SO nicely when we arrived, and every time we came in and out of the hotel, and later was very helpful in printing out our flight boarding cards. She made us feel very at home. The breakfast was wonderful. Room was very quiet. Nice ambiance as soon as you walk through the hotel doors into the reception area. Good, powerful shower. VERY comfortable bed and pillows, providing a very good night’s sleep.

Nothing not to like!

The breakfast is outstanding. Huge number of choices from the buffet. Easy to get to the hotel from the train station. Quite a few bars and restaurants near the hotel.

Not the on;y hotel with the problem but the TV remote has no instructions with it. The TV gives you options for lots of Pay by View Channels (which you have to pay for) but not how to just watch normal TV channels. Nor how to adjust volume so you can't even listen to radio.

This hotel is really worth it. I have so much to say that I'll try to summarise as much as I can. Location : perfect. Not only it's in the middle of the city, but it's 5min away from the bus stop connected to the airport(AP BUS) Supermarket next door. Clealiness: spotless, from the bed to the bathroom. A big thank you to the cleaning staff Room : I booked single deluxe room, just perfect if you travel alone Breakfast: large choice of sweet and salty food Staff : I let the best comment for the last point. The staff are really amazing. A very very big thank you to Francesco at the reception for his professionalism, his availability and his hospitality. A very big thank you also to Tony who is charge of the breakfast (spoon 😁) I recommend this place a 100%

It will be appréciable to have bigger cup for the tea in the room.

Hotel in great position room was clean and bathroom was lovely The staff at reception were really helpful and friendly really thought they were great they gave us advice where to eat and arranged a taxi to the airport The breakfast was ok buffet style breakfast staff were also friendly You are a short walk from the station and front where there are lots of restaurants We only stayed for 1 night as we were flying home the next day so we were very happy with our choice
