I would like to employ the person who created Oranien's website because they are a marketing genius. We chose Oranien as the first stop on our honeymoon roadtrip because the website showed it as a modern, beautiful hotel in a fantastic location which you pay through the neck for - totally misleading. In fact it is pure and simple a business hotel and the staff are not interested in dealing with leisure travellers. The receptionist was rude and spoke to us as if we were dirt - we felt guilty for inconveniencing her. The breakfast was delicious but expensive. The bar - oh the bar - we asked for a rose wine only to be given white, we specified again that we wanted rose and were told that it was rose - that the roses in Wiesbaden are very pale (you stupid English people). We paid after feeling completely embarassed (an extortionate price) and drank the worse (dry white) paint stripper ever. And under no circumstances buy the coffee - expensive cold mud!!!

The rooms are nice but this in no means makes up for the service or location. Situated in the rough area of Wiesbaden it took us two days to realise that the town is nice but on the opposite side to Oranien.

Do not go to this hotel unless you get a kick out of rude staff burning your money before your very eyes!!

Spent several nights here, was fabulous. Easy walk into town, very friendly staff, good food, love the old world woodwork interior...truly a classy place with down to earth feeling. Can't wait to return!

Very nice hotel central located with a good atmosphere and dignified design.

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.
