Just arrived back from Praia da Rocha (09/05/12) , we had a lovely time, even though the weather was not always full sun shine. This is our 3rd visit to Portugal, but our 1st to Praia da Rocha and the Hotel Oriental.We were very happy with both ,the Moroccan style and layout of the hotel was very well set out.... More

Just returned from a week here. The room was spacious with a lovely king sized bed and crisp white linen; also a kitchen area so had a fridge and small electric cooking element to make coffee. Plenty of hot water on tap too for baths/showers. The garden was also lovely and the position was overlooking the beach and sea. There... More

This hotal is very central, spotlessly clean and very good value. The rooms are spacious and airy all with a view of the beach which is only steps away. The staff were very efficient, helpful and friendly. The breakfast included was continental but very substantial, with fruit, breads, meats, dairy eggs and bacon. The beds were large and the mattresses... More

Food for breakfast was nothing to write home, no full english but heh the scrambled egg was delicious as was the bacon or mini sausages. I made cheese on... More

Me and my partner stayed in Oriental for one week in September 2010. This hotel was a little bit expensive for us (depends on your budget) so expectations were high.

Rooms are in need of a refurb but the are clean and functional. I paid extra to secure a front sea view and the viwe was awesome. Breakfast was positively average. Bar is very... More

Our accommodation was poor,the balcony overlooked the kitchen complete with rusting & noisy extraction unit.When we requested a move it was refused as "The Oriental is full"....no apology or discount offered. The buffet breakfast was only adequate with limited choice & the worst coffee I have ever tasted. The pool & gardens were fine but I was surprised that we... More

Stayed for 7 nights in August on Bed & Breakfast basis. No assistance with luggage available or offered. The room allocated stunk of stale cigarette smoke despite supposedly a non-smoking hotel and despite our definite booking request of a non-smoking room. Upon asking for a room change this was begrudgingly given and we received a garden room which was fine... More
