Hotel Oriental  

Fantastic location , wonderful sea views , calm atmosphere in a busy little resort . staff very pleasant

Not so much the hotel , but check out the portimao events schedule before booking as there is an outdoor music venue just at the side of the hotel which had 'rave' type disco playing every night throughout august. Music started at midnight through to 4.30 - 6.00am then further noise from drunken people making their way home. Unfortunately this completely ruined our holiday and as a result has put us off booking again in the summer months

You cannot beat the location with direct access to beautiful beach. Staff were very helpfull and hotel was spotless. When they realised we were leaving early in the morning thay brought food to our room the night before so we could have something before we left.

Location

Good location-hotel ok but asked for change of room as first one offered was small and dark-was then given a top floor room which was much better. Would have loved to have my secateurs with me to cut back some of those awful hanging plants hanging from top floor to bottom !!!

The hotel was situated overlooking the beach at Praia de Rocha, with very comfortablr accommodation and very professional and helpful staff. The food at the hotel was of a very high standard at a very reasonable price (if only staying bed & breakfast).

There was very little parking and it was often a long walk from parking in side steets back to the hotel.

As ever the friendly staff. We were Bed and Breakfast, but had three a'la carte evening meals in the resturant these meals were excellent and the cost of a three course with wine and coffee was reasonably priced. We hope to return to the hotel again in the Autumn.

I read all the reviews bfore booking and had some very bad write ups on the dated furniture about the hotel,however I found the hotel far exceeded my expectations and was a pleasure to stay there I dont know what some of the people complain about in the reviews,would stay there again,i have stayed in many hotels in rocha and found this hotel to me better than one next door.

This hotel is a bit hard to find but is totally worth it. Nice pool, direct beach access and you can check in or out at any time because they have a 24 hour front desk. Great views from the balcony , nice little fridge. Highly recommended!

The room and facilities were very clean. We liked the comfort of the bed. The breakfast was very good with a nice variety. The proximity to the beach was great and the location of the hotel was great.

The half board was not a buffet but rather a choice of 1 entree out of 2 and priced high for what you got. Service was also poor in the evening. You had to pay extra for a safe which we found unusual. Additionally, the hotel only had 3 parking spaces. In the hotel description, it says parking is available nearby. In reality, during high season, it is just about impossible to find parking. We had to park very far away which was inconvenient.

From the time we checked in at reception to the time we left a week later the staff were so helpful and friendly. The location is away from the noisy strip and has beautiful views of the atlantic.It also has its own private steps down to the beach. The sunbeds are located in its own private garden.

No regular evening entertainment. Also, the waterfall was on during the day and was difficult to have a siesta with the noise.

Location and how calm it was the atmosphere

They do not provide shampu everyday, and the smell that would be in the rooms sometimes

the location and the two balconies.

parking. only three spaces for a big hotel. you have to walk to the next block to try and find a space which was not always easy

The hotel is very welll situated in Praia da Rocha and the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

There are not enough open areas in the hotel to sit and relax in especially as the bar are was closed all day.

The size of the room and balcony was perfect.

Breakfast was very disappointing. Ants in the room were a problem as they were not only around the edges of the room but all over the floor.
