Hotel Savoia Sorrento: Not the best pick in Sorrento    Check Rates

    • This is a 2 star hotel located a few minutes walk from the main square in Sorrento.

    Our standard room was basic, with a very very uncomfortable bed and a small, dark and smelly bathroom.

    Close by Sorrento's attractions.

    Even fairly basic accommodation in Sorrento is expensive.

    Grand Hotel Aminta: One of the Best in the World (for me!)    Check Rates

    Hotel Aminta (from their
    website)
    by Callavetta
    My first experience with the Aminta was after fleeing a very hot, crowded and overwhelming Rome. We took the train to Naples and timidly navigated the train station there to the Circumvisuviana train.

    From the Sorrento Train station the taxi wound it's way through the lovely town and up into the hills, depositing us in the very beautiful Aminta lobby with the most spectacular views ever.

    The Aminta's wonderful staff is only one of the things that made me fall in love with this hotel. By the time we wrapped up our five day stay here, they felt like friends. Our room had a balcony with a view of the Bay of Naples that I could gaze at forever. It is hard to take in all the elements of that view; the bouganvillas, the orange groves, the cliffs, Sorrento tumbling down the hillside, and then the glorious blue blue sea. And in the distance; Mt. Visuvius.

    My favorite place was one of the outdoor cafe tables that line the deck overlooking Sorrento. Here Tonino, the best bar man in Italy, would bring me wine or whatever else my heart desired. I loved eating a lunch of caprese and pizza in this spot. Amazing how a modest lunch with a fabulous view can rival the far more expensive dining experiences in famous restaurants.

    After a long, confused walk in the wrong direction I made my way up the Cape to Hotel Desiree. Located in an older building hanging off the edge of the cliff, Hotel Desiree is a quiet, relaxing hotel not too far from the city center (two minutes by car, ten minutes by foot). Reception is on the top floor and the rooms are on the lower floors; there is no elevator. My room was clean and had a balcony with views of the cape and sea (but not the city). The hotel has a private beach at the foot of the cliff.

    This hotel stands out due to the excellent service at the front desk. Employees are really eager to provide assistance, and can provide maps of Sorrento and Pompeii, transportation information and schedules, and suggestions regarding local attractions. The man working at the front desk went out of his way to contact the harbour authority (after tourist information didn't answer the phone) to find out whether seasonal boat service from Sorrento to Amalfi had begun yet.

    I paid EUR 60 for a single room with breakfast in high season. Prices are very reasonable compared to other Sorrento hotels.

    * * * * *

    ARRIVAL INSTRUCTIONS (by foot)

    Upon exiting the train station, walk down the little hill to Corso Italia. Turn left and keep walking (past the big piazza), and KEEP RIGHT along the water! The hotel is about a ten minute walk (with luggage) from the point where Corso Italia becomes Via del Capo. It's not hard to find but the streets are very poorly marked. Consider bringing a map printed from Via Michelin.

    We loved this hotel, which we had accidentally found on the internet at a time when few businesses had begun to use this form of advertising. We found the owner informative and gracious...very responsive to our inquiries. When we arrived at the top of this hill we were in awe of the location. We travelled in a quiet season, so there weren't many guests and our rates were quite affordable. The suite was marvelous with a huge bathroom and separate sitting room that had french glass doors opening to the view you see on my front page. Wow! You could see the entire bay and out to the Isle of Capri. When there were fireworks at night, we had a perfect view! The hotel is surrounded by citrus groves, olive trees, and lots of yucca and jade plants. Altho we were unimpressed with the dinner we had there, you have tremendous choices in town.

    Hotel Londra is situated on Via cocumella in Sant' Agnello. It is a relatively small hotel. Not all rooms have Balcony's or verandas (these are charged extra) the hotel has a lift but only in the block that the reception is in, the other block has no lift only stairs so if booking be sure to specify if a lift is needed.
    All rooms have a private bath or shower ( the shower cubicles are very small with not much room to move)
    Each room has air conditioning but you have to pay 7.00 euro per day to use it which adds up if you are there for a week or fortnight. Television and telephone.
    A small fridge can be hired from reception for 15.00 Euro per week..
    Your valuables can be put into the hotel safe for a charge of 10.00 Euro per week but you could only have access to it between 10.00 am and 1pm and 6pm to 9pm which proved to be very inconvenient.
    The hotel reception is manned 24 hours a day and they were very helpful
    The hotel restaurant is open for breakfast from 7am to 9am and for evening meals from 7pm to 8.30pm and is by far the best part of this Hotel, The staff were friendly and attentive and the home cooked food was lovely.
    The hotel was clean and comfortable and the food was lovely but not a Hotel that i would return to. the fact that they wanted to make money from everything was both annoying and a cost that was not expected at the begining of our holiday.

    The hotel has a snack bar which is open 12pm to 1.30 pm and serves a small range of local foods at reasonable prices but it would benefit from being open longer.
    e.g Pizza Margherita is 6.00 Euro, chips 2.50 Euro, spaghetti with tomato sauce 5.00 Euro
    A car park is available at the cost of 5.00 Euro per day
    The swimming pool is open from 8.30am to 6.00pm daily (we did not use it so i do not know if there was a charge for the sunbeds)
    The Bar in the Hotel is open from 08.30am to late. The bar man tended to want a tip for every round of drinks purchased and would sulk if he did not get one, pick your change up quick when he puts it down or he will take it back as his tip. Tipping every time would prove to be quite costly by the end of your holiday. we never drank there much but i believe that sometimes he would 'make mistakes with the prices' as well).
    Large Beer 4.00 Euro
    330ml bottle of beer 2.00 Euro
    Coke 1.80 Euro
    The hotel also boasts a solarium but is in fact 2 old sun beds on the roof.

    The food was fantastic

    Hotel Mediterraneo is located in Sant'Agnello di Sorrento, a 15/20 min. (flat) walk to downtown Sorrento. The location is lovely: high on a cliff overlooking the Bay of Sorrento. The hotel is at the border of the sea ... well, at about 140 steps! BUT there's an elevator in the hotel that brings you right on the (black sandy) small beach.

    The hotel has rooms overlooking the Bay. These rooms are facing the street and during the day there is quite some traffic. That's why we chose to have a room facing the pool/garden.

    The staff is very professional and extremely helpful.

    The hotel restaurant 'Vesuvio' is located on the top floor and has a magnificent panoramic view on the Bay. It has also a small terrace where guests can have their breakfast in the morning. Lovely!

    The hotel has recently been refurbished. It has all modern amenities like double glazed windows, sat-TV, direct dial phone, minisafe, minibar, A/C, ... The Mediterraneo being an old building the walls are thin. In case you're a bad sleeper, bring ear plugs!

    The rooms as well as the bar, salon and restaurant are nicely decorated, in light blue and off-white/beige. Even the china is off-white with light blue!

    The garden is a great place to relax, either by the pool or on the lovely garden terrace amidst the lemon/orange trees or under the palmtrees. Here's where you can have a drink or enjoy lunch (their home made pizza, baked in an authentic wood oven is to die for!). On some nights there's live Napolitan music in the garden.

    Food:
    Breakfast is buffet style with a variety of rolls, bread and pastry. Furthermore fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereals, cheese & cold meats, eggs, bacon, ...
    Dinner is served at the table with a daily changing menu (to choose from 5 starters, 5 mains and 5 desserts). The food was of excellent quality. The restaurant has also an extensive wine list.

    The Grand Hotel President is part of the Acampora Group and of the "Charm & Relax" hotel chain.
    We stranded in this hotel for 3 nights because the hotel we had reservations for (Mediterraneo - see my other tip) had been overbooked.

    The President is located on Capo di Sorrento, high in the mountains overlooking the Bay of Sorrento. Location is very quiet. A walk to downtown Sorrento will take about 25 min. (downhill). The hotel has a free shuttle that doesn't run very frequently. The Sita bus stop is on the main road, about 5 min. walk from the hotel.

    The GH President is perched on the hill and the entrance is at the 5th (top) floor. This means that all the rooms are on lower levels. No problem for rooms facing the Bay. They all have a splendid view. If you have a room not facing the Bay, be prepared to have a view on the parking lot or, if you're on floor 1 or 2, even on a grey wall! If you don't mind paying extra for Bay view, this is indeed extraordinary.

    The hotel's location is perfect if you want to be in a quiet neighbourhood.
    The staff is very polite and helpful.

    The pool area is not very large (towels have to be paid) but there's an extra solarium with jacuzzi on the top floor. The hotel also disposes of a professional beauty centre.

    Our room was large, had a large balcony, and all modern amenities like sat-TV, mini safe, minibar, A/C, ...

    The restaurant overlooks the Bay of Sorrento.
    Food was very good.
    Breakfast is buffet style with various rolls & bread, fresh fruit, cereals, yoghurts, cheese & cold meats, eggs, bacon, ...
    Dinner is served at the table with a daily varying menu (choice from different starters, mains and desserts).

    This is a really, really nice little hotel. It's a little away from the main town, but within easy walking distance of both Piazza Tasso (the main square, 5 mins) and the Circumvesuviana railway station and bus terminal (10 mins max). so you have the best of both worlds.......easy access to everything but without too much traffic noise.

    The rooms are next door to the reception/breakfast area, accessible using the keycard, up a flight of stairs to the first floor (there is a lift, for which one has to pay). They are stunningly clean and very spacious, all non-smoking, with balconies to sit on. Marble floors (a bit cold in winter, bring some slippers!) and electronic wooden shutters.

    Shower pressure was good, water was hot and plentiful, central heating worked well (I needed it in February), beds were a little firm (Italian beds are, I find) but comfortable. Extra blankets and pillows were provided, and there is a TV and safe in the room (and internet access too, I think).

    The owners speak good English and are friendly and very helpful. Breakfast is really good, with cereals/rolls/bread/brioche/preserves etc as well as excellent pancakes and 'eggs', if you choose (I did, scrambled, and very good they were too) as well as juice/coffee/tea etc.

    The only disadvantage I could think of is the lack of a fridge

    Well worth staying here, I think, for convenience of access in a quieter part of town.......and for the pancakes!

    Friendly owners, lovely pancakes, cleanliness.

    Have got to put the directions here as they are too long for the box below!

    From the bus/train station follow road to the left (if you can cope with steps), then up steps on your right, right down Via Degli Aranci, cross just before the road bridge and go down the steps on the left of it. Left again to hotel (on left).

    Without the steps, walk straight down to Corso Italia from bus/train station (or get off bus at Piazza Tasso), then left again to P. Tasso, left up Via Fuorimura, under the road bridge and hotel is on the left.

    Bristol Hotel from the sea,
    right of middle
    by Wowmoment, 2 more photos
    The Hotel Bristol lounges nonchalantly against the cliff above the harbour of Marina Grande in the southern part of of Sorrento.

    We were pleasantly surprised that its dramatic location involved no climbing and was an almost level walk into the centre of Town (10-15 mins). This made the location perfect for exploring Sorrento town and reaching public transport for the surrounding area.

    There is a splendid outdoor lounging area and pool on the roof making the most of the beautiful surroundings.

    The Hotel is fairly grand but not at all stuffy and the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

    Despite being situated on a fairly busy road we were not troubled by noise and our room was on the lowest floor.

    The view from our room was just the best ever - all of Sorrento, Vesuvius and the entire bay of Naples could be seen from our balcony. I believe all the rooms have this view because the Hotel is shallow in construction.

    • The hostel is average, when we arrived despite booking months in advance they told us that there was no room in the main dorm but they could offer us a 4 bed room in the next building for more money! This is the only hostel in Sorrento so we could not refuse!

    We stayed in the building next door, which was a few floors up, in with private apartments.

    The room was small for four people and very noisy at any time of the day or night because it is located on a busy main road.

    Breakfast is included in the cost and comprises of coffee, tea, juice or cappucino (which was always cold)!

    The rooms are clean, and the showers huge.

    There is NO common area as such here, but the bar next door to the hostel is owned by the same people and so they offer a happy hour to the hostel crowd...a big bottle of Peroni for 2 euro - not bad at all!
