Orange Hotel

"Do Not Book!!! This hotel ruined out family holiday! we were staying here for two nights, I met my family who came from America, and Ireland. On arrival there was no beds made for us, we requested a twin room, when we walked into the room there was mould everywhere, dust everywhere, nothing in the room but a bed, desk and chair, and a hanging wine opener attached to the wall as if someone would steal it, the window blinds wouldnt open, the bathroom shower didnt work, there wasnt even a bar of soap. I refused to stay in this room and researching other accomadation. The only positive thing about this hotel was the kind young man at the desk that was even embarrasssed but arranged a better room for us as the lady on the previous shift wanted nothing to do with making two beds for us etc. Stressful doesnt even cut it. In the end we really had to laugh it off as such a horrible experience and we would nver come back! There was also a heatwave at the time and our aircon didnt work, we had a gentleman in our room for ages on a ladder trying to get it going. We can laugh about the experience now, but it ruined our time in the city as we spent more time worrying about where we were going to sleep. also. theres no rooftop, no hot tub, no restaurant, its all made up. its literally a room. DO NOT BOOK HERE"

"This hotel is utterly filthy. The rooms are dated and depressing, it has zero redeeming qualities. I checked into this hotel with my wife, another couple in another room and my sister in a third room. All of us were mortified. We stayed there two nights and luckily changed hotels. Having had stayed there, I feel like I survived a traumatic event. Side note: they still advertise a roof top restaurant- it's been closed for years."

"The Orange Hotel was nominated by our third-party cruise travel provider as part of a fly/stay/cruise package. The location is excellent and really can’t be faulted. It’s perfectly situated for visiting the Vatican, with plenty of restaurants nearby and excellent public transport connections. Unfortunately, the standard of the room was very poor. Basic maintenance appeared to have been neglected for quite some time. The bathroom, in particular, was not very clean. There was thick mould around the “jacuzzi” bath, with what looked like multiple layers of sealant applied over the years as a quick fix rather than a proper repair. Although we had no intention of using the jacuzzi, the built-in soap dispenser contained what looked like decades-old soap residue, which was far from appealing. To make matters worse, the jacuzzi leaked across the bathroom floor. There were also nails protruding from the skirting boards in the room, creating a potential safety hazard. The air conditioning was working when we arrived but stopped functioning shortly afterwards and remained broken for the rest of our two-night stay. Thankfully, we arrived with modest expectations and only intended to use the room as somewhere to sleep, so the issues didn’t ruin our trip. On a positive note, the staff were polite and responded promptly to my WhatsApp message reporting the bathroom leak, which was appreciated. Overall, while the location is a major advantage, we wouldn’t recommend this hotel in its current condition. It is in desperate need of refurbishment and better ongoing maintenance. It’s a shame, as with some investment and proper upkeep, it could be a much more enjoyable place to stay."
