Our recent stay was great and exceeded my expectations for the rate we paid.
The hotel is centrally located to Piazza Tasso, which is the central square in Sorrento. Our walk was about 12-15 minutes, depending how comfy our attire was. The entire walk is safe as there are lots of people day and night.
For those taking the ferry, the port is about a 20 min walk but it's an easy walk bc Sorrento is pretty flat. Once you get close to the port, all you have to do is PAY to take the lift down (1 euro I think), otherwise you will need to lug your suitcases down a few flight of stairs.
About the hotel itself, let's start with the staff which were VERY friendly. We didn't need much help from them but when we did, they were very friendly and attentive.
Breakfast was included in our stay be we found it a little on the mediocre side, so often times just had a piece of fruit and yogurt. The yogurt was not on a cold plate, so we asked the server to grab us one that was cold and he did.
The biggest pro (at least for me) is that they have a very large gym. Now I'm not totally sure, but my guess is that this is not the hotel's gym. I think it's a regular gym (it's pretty big) and the hotel contracts direct with the gym for their hotel guests. It has everything you can imagine. The cardio machines are a little rusty BUT did what it needed to.
The room is also pretty big; I mean I am not used to this in Europe and I did get a room for three, but still, I could've easily had four in there with comfort. The décor is bleak, BUT aside that, it was very spacious, had a balcony, safe, and fridge.
A side note: so on the first night, we sat out on the balcony and apparently didn't close the door right. It opens out like French doors, and it also opens on just one side at a tilkt. When you close the doors, make sure to close it TIGHTLY. We went to bed and were awakened by street noise (it's on the main strip and noise cannot be avoided). Later the next day, we realized we didn't close the door tightly, hence there was excessive noise. Now it will still be noisy when you close the doors, but it won't be overly loud if you close it right; that was our fault.
Oh there is a pool too but we were too busy to use it.
Also, we received a welcome drink coupon that we redeemed on our last night. That was a surprise.
Overall a great hotel and I would stay there again! read more
