My wife and I stayed in the Orientale for six nights and found it to be outstanding. Our room was recently renovated and present a function modern appearance. What can I say about the included breakfast other than it went beyond our expectations. It was abundant and features both a hot and cold buffet with local products. I would highly recommend this hotel if you shoud find yourself in Brindisi.More
I was in Brindisi for training and picked this hotel out of several that the organizers had recommended, based on reviews I'd read on TripAdvisor.
The hotel is within walking distance from both the port and the train station. A 15-minute taxi ride from the airport costs about EUR 25, but if you don't mind walking for a few minutes, you can get a bus at the airport, pay EUR 1, get off at the train station, and walk no more than 10 minutes to the hotel (go past the piazza with a fountain shaped like an anchor, keep right, and just keep going on Corso Garibaldi till you see the hotel on your right). The bus trip does not take considerably longer than the taxi ride.
The street where the hotel is located is filled with shops (including a supermarket) and cafés. Most sites and other destinations are only a few minutes away on foot.
The rooms are newly renovated. My single room was compact, contained the basics (refrigerator, safe, closet, desk, television and fully functional air conditioner) and had a small window looking out to an external staircase (I doubt that the view for those in even-numbered rooms would be any better). I am petite and did not have problems with the shower, but someone of a larger build might feel cramped (the rest of the bathroom is more spacious).
Lifts can be quite busy between in the morning. Remember that you have to press two separate buttons for the two different lifts, and build in some extra time for either waiting for the lifts or taking the stairs.
Guests with a sweet tooth will love breakfast (I have never seen so many cakes being served at breakfast time).
The staff are friendly and helpful, especially those who serve breakfast.
I've stayed at four-star hotels in other parts of Italy and don't think that this hotel is equivalent to those other hotels. Having said that, I only paid EUR 75 per night, so I have no complaints.

My husband and I stayed here for two nights during our driving tour of Italy's south. The rooms were typical European size, the wifi was fast, the breakfast included some hot foods like eggs, toast and chicken nuggets. The location was great for our stay with an indoor parking lot attached to our hotel.

My client in Patras suggested this hotel from his own experiences there. Everything that you could need is provided at this well run hotel. Both airport and ferries are a five minute ride away. We used the free bicycles for exercise to and for dinner in town.
I stayed at this hotel with the family. It is a standard and well-organized structure, convenient garage attached to the hotel with direct access to the reception.
Excellent value for money. The rooms are spotless and functional. The staff are highly professional, friendly and welcoming. The staff engaged in the breakfast room were on time, and very helpful.

My wife and I stayed here in early November this year, a mix f business and leisure, and we had a wonderful time. The rooms are standard European size so we knew that it would not be as big as the rooms in the Middle East. That being said the room was fully functional and had all the necessities for our week. We had a small Juliet balcony looking out onto the main road but as it was mostly pedestrianised the noise was minimal and sleep was not disturbed. The bed was comfortable and there were no issues that we encountered with the room.
The breakfast was ample and a wide variety of dishes were on offer. We did not dine in the evenings as there were so many good restaurants available locally that we dined out each night.
Let me just finish off by saying that the staff here were the most helpful and could not do enough to satisfy all requests. My wife could not stop singing their praises every evening when we got together.
