Very comfortable hotel with helpful friendly staff. Well located for all the sights in the old part of town and especially good is that it has secure parking on site (which you have to pay for, but it’s well worth it). Truly excellent breakfast - you can ask for cappuccinos rather than the coffee in thermos jugs with no problem. We asked for a later check out and again not a problem. I hadn’t visited Brindisi before and was delightedto find how attractive it is. Wish we’d planned to stay a second night. One tip - we had a delicious dinner at La Locanda del Porto in Via Montenegro about ten minutes walk away.

Wifi was a bit patchy.

I have coeliac disease, and I highly recommend this hotel to anyone with the same condition or even a gluten intolerance. When booking a trip to Italy, look no further. They provided a great range of gluten-free option for breakfast, complete with gluten-free croissants, pain au chocolate. The service at the hotel was amazing. During our bike trip across Italy, we stayed at several hotels, but none could match the charm and personal attention at the Hotel Orientale. From the front desk to the wait staff, everyone made us feel incredibly welcome, and they had a very secure place to store our bikes overnight om a locked room in the basement underground car park. It wouldn't have been the same if we had stayed anywhere else.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Room very comfortable and well-equipped. The breakfast selection on offer was plentiful and excellent. We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Orientale - thank you!

A couple of relatively minor issues - the replenishment of toilet tissue was a bit haphazard at times during our 4 night stay! The parking was fine, provided you are comfortable with manoeuvring up and down and around - it could be a bit of a tight squeeze, as you make your way to and from your allocated space. The set-up worked fine for us, but I'm not sure everyone would feel the same way. (Having said that, once you're in, the parking feels 100% secure....)

Excellent location in central Brindisi, on main shopping street, couple of minutes from the harbour. Very clean, good size suite (room 803) with separate lounge and very large balcony overlooking the city. Excellent choice for breakfast - cakes highly recommended!- and very helpful and professional waiting staff. Underground parking available at 10 euros/day. Great place to stay if you're flying late into/early from Brindisi and prefer to be near the airport.

The bed was not extra large as I think may be stated on this website. Didn't matter as there was a good single sofa bed in the lounge- took the reception staff a bit too long to find some sheets etc.

We only stayed one night as we were catching an early flight home. The staff were so welcoming and friendly and helpful. The hotel was like stepping into a calming oasis from the blistering heat outside and it smelt wonderful. The rooms are simple but with everything you need. The hotel is a two minute walk to the port and on a main shopping street. It is the little touches that count and in the morning, at 3.30am, we were delighted to see a small area where coffee, pastries, breakfast cereals and juice was set up for those early travellers. Well done to you all, you can tell you care!

Very comfortable property very nice stay. Don’t count on a smooth transfer from the port to the hotel. Taxis are unreliable scarce and transportation is horrible in Brindisi and in many other areas of Italy since there is no Uber or other third-party transportation services. The Taxi system is broken and failed. Enjoy walking.

Nothing, great place and they even provide bicycles, which is absolutely essential since you can’t get transportation otherwise

I loved staying at Hotel Orientale. The staff was externally helpful, they helped to book trip in nearby cities with local agency, helped arrange taxi and overall were creating such warm and hospitable atmosphere, I felt home away from home. The location was excellent, close to the sea but also to central cathedral, shops, supermarket. Restaurants. The room was nice size with all comfortable facilities. I enjoyed this hotel a lot.

Cant complain.

Excellent staff. Helpful caring efficient supportive. Magnificent breakfast superbly stacked wonderful food options with excellent breakfast helpers. Thanks to everyone I met during my stay April 5-8,2025. Thank you Giulia and Alex for super support

Receptionist was a VERY helpful Belgian lady, who greeted us SO nicely when we arrived, and every time we came in and out of the hotel, and later was very helpful in printing out our flight boarding cards. She made us feel very at home. The breakfast was wonderful. Room was very quiet. Nice ambiance as soon as you walk through the hotel doors into the reception area. Good, powerful shower. VERY comfortable bed and pillows, providing a very good night’s sleep.

Nothing not to like!

The breakfast is outstanding. Huge number of choices from the buffet. Easy to get to the hotel from the train station. Quite a few bars and restaurants near the hotel.

Not the on;y hotel with the problem but the TV remote has no instructions with it. The TV gives you options for lots of Pay by View Channels (which you have to pay for) but not how to just watch normal TV channels. Nor how to adjust volume so you can't even listen to radio.
