We booked the hotel for a special occasion and was suprised by the size of the room, small but in Rome you dont spend all day in there. The furniture was well used but the beds were comfortable (and I am a big guy) and everything was spotless. The bathroom was small but new and again clean. The stairs could be a problem for some but not if you are able to walk around Rome all day. Rome is a large city and the hotel is not in the best area but we felt safe and shops and resturants are good in the local area. It is a great location for just walking around Rome but also the Metro is close also the Terminni is just a short walk. On reflection the hotel is great for a long week end break and the breakfast is ample to get you going in the morning. Thanks to the whole family who put up with our poor attempts at Italian and late arrival on the Friday. Just remember you get what you pay for and you will like this hotel. It is 2 * for 2* money so do not expect 5* hotel.

This hotel is excellent value for a 2 star hotel, it is very clean . The room was well decorated, the furniture of good quality. the bathroom was excellent and there was hot water whenever we needed it ,we had maid service every day. Breakfast was basic but adequate and the coffee was good . The staff were very friendly and helpful . It is certainly very close to everything and we would certainly stay there again . Reception is on the second floor of the building and it certainly wouldn't suit anyone who had problems climbing stairs but as far as we can see this was its only down side.

This hotel is great if your young but for the older person it's not ideal. Hotel Reception is 2 storeys up, our room on the 5th floor. Lift can only be used when accompanied by the manager. When he wasn't avaliable, my mother had to either struggle up or wait for him. Asked for twin room, got double. The walls are paper thin. Many rowdy teenagers on our floor making noise until very late - Luckily a 24 hour chemist is directly opposite to get earplugs from. Location is ideal, minutes from Colosseum, Train/metro Station and many other places of interest. Local area is rundown but we, as two single females, walked around the streets late and felt perfectly safe. Staff were pleasant and breakfast was adequate. Served until 10 am. Rooms were very basic but clean, bathroom was lovely.

A colleague of mine who lives in Rome recommended and reserved a room at the Hotel Oriente for me when I was in town for a three-day visit last week. It's not a fancy place (the hallways are a little more posh than the rooms) but my room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and it's in an ideal location. And for 45 Euros a night, it was a real bargain. An unexciting blue and white sign identifies the hotel. Ring the bell and they will buzz you in. Proceed upstairs to their reception desk. The hotel is on the third and fourth floors of the building.
