I had the good fortune of staying at the Oranien for almost three weeks on business. It's old world charm is inviting and the rooms were tastefully appointed and fairly spacious by German standards. The restaurant is top notch and the breakfast was included daily. There is a nice terrace in the back where one can sip a beer or eat schnitzel nestled in the woodsy surroundings. The staff was polite and friendly and even obliged my somewhat stilted German, even though they seem to speak better English than I do. There is ample parking available in the hotel's pay lot. The hotel is conveniently located near the "Fussganger" (Pedestrian shopping) Zone and there are myriad restaurants, shops, and pubs with walking distance. Although I generally loathe staying at hotels for extended periods of time, the Hotel Oranien made my stay pleasant. I recommend it highly. definitely a four star.
