The Oriente, in Rome's China town, is fine if you know what to expect. A few floors of a very old apartment block have been made into a hotel : you can't use the lift so be prepared for a bit of a hike to reception, then more to your rooms. We were a school group, they sensibly put the... More

We stayed in the Oriente in September for 3 nights to see the sights of ancient Rome! The place is fantastic, well worth a visit. Our hotel experience was fine - nothing exceptional to report, other than the extremely friendly, multi lingual front of house. He was ever so friendly and gave us lots of good advice. Look out for... More

The building where the hotel is located is quite old, but the floors that belong to the hotel are recent. I think that they made a reshuffle recently because there were furniture in the halls and the ones in the room were new and quite different than the pictures showed at the Internet (Unfortunately I didn't took any photo). The... More

We were originally scheduled to stay at his hotel for 3 nights. We left after the first night. After attempting to use the elevator/lift, we discovered that a key was needed and we were told by the person at the desk that we were not allowed to use it. This hotel is in a building with various other entities. We... More

We showed up only to find out that there was no air conditioning in our room and it was 35 degrees outside. I went to the desk and when they explained that we... More

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... More

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... More

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.... More
