Hotel Oriente - Madrid

7.7

The hotel is perfect for long and short stays. Room and services are excellent. But cleaning ladies make much noise very early in the morning and you can loudly hear when your neighbour is having a shower... which is a bit annoying late at night. The rest (location, service, etc.) is perfect. 8/10 overall! :)

Hotel location is very good.

Loved the location. Got a balcony room. Very near to two metro stations and SOL connects to most of places. 5 minute walk from Palace. Right on shopping street, so feel like you are in action. Access to ATM, Pharma or QuickBytes were never a problem. Seemed very safe. Even though the main staff could not converse in english, but they were very-very helpful. Always eager to help. Let us use the microwave for our kid food.

The cleanest hotel I've ever stayed at!!

Very good hotel, Come out of Opera Metro station and the hotel is just infront of you.

Located 1 block from Opera Metro stop. Walking distance to Puerta de Sol, Plaza Mayor & Palace. Great location. Hostal was clean and quiet. Opera Pizza next door. Shopping nearby. Flamenco a few blocks away at local Theatre. The room was small but was perfect for me as I don't hang out in the room. Had a single bed, desk with chair, closet, safe and private restroom. Perfect for me! One small issue - I reserved room with American Express but had to use Visa to pay as they do not accept American Express.

9.3

Really perfect hotel, spotlessly clean, absolutely basic, with a fantastic price to boot. Nothing more or less than needed. Staff speak no English, but were very patient, and attempting the local language adds to the experience. Reception is 24-hours. Location perfect - very easy to find, on a pedestrian street just off Sol, the absolute centre-point of Madrid. Was in a back room which had little natural light but no noise. Would advise you turn on aircon when you don't want to sleep as it blows onto the head of the bed, but can be quite hot and stuffy without. No breakfast included. Great value for money. Would unhesitatingly recommend and return.

9.5

fantastic location, lovely hotel, great and helpful staff and at an affordable price. A jem. The only thing to be warned about is that the rooms are on the small side but that's alright if all you want to do in them is sleep at night. The hotel is very close to the Plaza Mayor and within walking distance from the three musea, the Prado, the Thyssen Bornemissa and the Reine Sofia. Wonderful

8.8

The nearest hotel, close to the metro station opera, not far away to plazza mayor and puerte del sol. Nice room, people welcoming even if only two persons could speak english.. There is wifi in the rooms.

7.6

Good value for the money. Very small room, but very clean and well-maintained. Good location close to sights in the old city. Steps from subway.

8.6

Very nice!

8.1

A good service.

8.6

Excellent overall, very convenient location. Wifi signal is weak if your room is too far from lobby. Limited English speaking staff during my stay but not really a problem. Motion sensitive lights but they turn off very quickly.

Un hostal tranquilo, en el centro de Madrid

7.2

The common area of the Hostal Oriente was not conducive to meeting people. The hotel was quiet, clean and a great location near the Metro and pedestrian shopping area of Madrid. Good central location. The front desk staff knew little English so you are on your own if you needed help. The maid did speak English. Good value and great location.

9.0

This was one of the cleanest hotels we have stayed in. Excellent value for money. Very pleasant staff. Worthwhile taking a travel kettle if you like a cup of tea or coffee . Brilliant air conditioning.

5.9

Rooms small but very clean. Convenient location within walking distance to any old town venue.

7.8

The hostal is located on a pedestrian street right next to the opera metro station and a very short distance to the plaza de oriente and the palacio real, plaza mayor is a short walk the other way. A great location. The rooms overlooking the street (good view) are more noisy than those over looking the courtyard (bad view)...so there are pros and cons. The room was clean. The desk staff did not speak english, this is not a problem, as we only needed to know the room number and how much to pay (which matched the price quoted). Would stay again.

8.5

Stayed for 3 nights in Madrid. Found this hotel to be very good value and ideally situated for exploring Madrid. Only problem was external noise on Friday night as people still talking and walking around this Opera House area up until 4am.

9.1

Extremely well situated, rooms small but very clean. Staff friendly and helpful. Very good value for money...

8.7

Oriente is good value for money. Its central location was one of our reasons for choosing it, although we knew it would be noisy as a result. Staff extremely helpful. No breakfast facilities but as there are cafeterias opposite and next door this hardly matters. We would be happy to stay again.

8.7

Great stay in a double room. Good value, comfy beds and pillows, and excellent location right across from the Opera metro stop.

8.1

This hotel is visible from the Metro-Opera station, easy to find. This portion of the Calle Arenal is a walking street, so the hotel is fairly quiet as there is no traffic rumbling by. I stayed in 2 rooms over 4 nights, and both were very clean, but basic and small. Two minor items, the shower doors in both rooms were off their tracks and difficult to use, and the safe in one room was not bolted to the wall. I would definitely stay here again though, as there was good value for money, the staff was friendly and helpful, and it was close to everything.

9.7

exceptional location:pedestrial street, very safe at night even for 2 midlle aged women travelling alone; lots of shopping near by as well as pharmacy, newstand, places to eat, taxi stop, subway ( metro opera 30 meters away), walking distance ( less than 3 minutes) to puerta del sol, plaza mayor, royal palace( my 67's years old mom walked easely). personal eletronic card control the access to the hostal front door and the room.Elevator for 2 people + 2 HUGE bags Small and basic rooms but VERY clean,airy,renewed w private safety box,tv and phone.Bathroom small but totaly new and clean. Don't serve breakfast , but plenty of tasty places to explore at the door step.Attentive personel.Would return AGAIN AND AGAIN!

This hostal was perfect. It is right opposite Metro Opera and within walking distance to most attractions in central Madrid, and especially central for shopping, is reasonably priced, and I was amazed at the quality of the room. It was absolutely spotless, cosy, the bed was massive and the shower was like heaven. With the air-conditioning and the silence (inside the hotel that is, the streets of Madrid sleep for no man!) I would definitely return and recommend to others. Please note we didn't take breakfast as I always find a nearby cafe cheaper and with better coffee! We didn't see anyone else while we were there, which I like but might not be good for single travellers.

8.1

Excellent quality/price and for position.

8.1

Ottimo ostello, centralissimo, pulito, nuovo e comodo con servizio di aria condizionata e phon. Peccato manchi il servizio colazione. Lo consiglio a tutti se dovessi tornare a Madrid tornerei assolutamente lì.

8.2

Very basic, but excellent value and exactly what we expected for the money. Location overlooking Plaza Isabel II so noisy but suited us and very entertaining. Plenty of places nearby for desayuno. Limited facilities to sit down and read or chat and we hardly ever saw anyone. Ideal place for our two-night stopover on the way to Galicia.

7.8

This was a clean hostel and good value-a very central location only 1 minute from the metro.

9.1

Super zentral direkt an der Metrostation Ópera gelegen und doch relativ ruhig, nettes und freundliches Personal und für den Preis sehr moderne und schöne Zimmer. Würde beim nächsten Mal wieder im Oriente buchen.

9.1

We (young couple) have spent 4 nights in Hostal Oriente and we were really contented. Location is great, right beside Opera metro station. Only five minutes walk from Plaza Puerta del Sol. Staff is kind, the room was quiet (we had a room facing the patio, rooms facing the street could have been noisier). The room was also small but very nice and VERY CLEAN! Towels have been changed every day. I recommend it!
