Hotel Oriente

OTTIMO ALBERGO, PULITO, CENTRALE, PERSONALE CORDIALE.OTTIMA COLAZIONE

L'hotel Oriente è in una posizione ideale per l'isola di Lipari: vicina ai porto di marina Lunga e marina Corta, a due passi delle vie dei negozi e ristoranti più In dell'isola. Gode di una posizione tranquilla e fuori dal caos. L'hotel Oriente è anche un museo che contiene gli oggetti più svariati raccolti in anni dall'antico proprietario: attrezzi da lavoro agricolo, carretti tipici siciliani, pupi, mobili, tavoli di ceramiche, statue, oggetti 'utili' prima della legge Merlin del 1958. Non mancano i sarcofaghi in pietra lavica. Il personale è disponibile e cortese, se volete provare a metterli in difficoltà chiedete loro come venivano usati i vari attrezzi/arredi (scegliete i più strani o esotici). Esperienza indimenticabile.

The hotel is a three-star, so I expected a three-star service; I changed my mind!, the kindness of the staff, the cleanliness of the rooms and common areas, the variety of breakfast certainly raise the level. The hotel is full of historical objects from the Sicilian countryside, wherever you look, there is a historical object! I am happy to have stayed here. There is the possibility of having breakfast in the garden by taking the trays with breakfast outside. Reception open 24 hours as well as the bar. Very clean room, white and scented linen. Comfortable mattress! Definitely positive quality-price ratio. The hotel is right near the center, you can easily reach the hydrofoil dock and the marina corta port, the shops and activities. The strong point is the owner, a very determined young woman!! She assisted us by phone when, having made a non-cancellable reservation on a portal, but no longer being able to stay, she helped us find new suitable dates without losing the payment!; but above all, on the day of our arrival, she found a boat all for us to go around, even though there was a patron saint's day on the island and it was impossible to find an available boat, especially because in our group, a friend was in a wheelchair, as he was disabled. She made a series of phone calls of her own free will to help us! And she helped us!! She contacted a person who made himself available to let our friend in difficulty enjoy the sea too. For me, this, this undue attention, is worth more than any star!!

The Oriente hotel is a truly welcoming and comfortable structure. It is a three-star hotel where almost nothing is missing, composed of practically autonomous and quiet structures immersed in a delightful Aeolian-style garden. The furnishings are very original and historic, practically an ethnographic museum. The central street is 2 minutes away. In addition, the helpful and very kind staff gives all the information for excursions, taking care of the contacts for these and for transfers to each location. Good breakfast. Very clean and quiet room. Comfortable beds. Highly recommended!
