The staff is very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Most spoke English but allowed us to try to get information using our limited Italian. The room was clean but basic. Loved the balcony that looked out over the bay. Has elevator to upper floors. Hotel atmosphere reminded me of small grand hotels seen in 1920/30 movies. Very charming. Included breakfast offered...

This wasn't my first choice hotel, but due to unforseen problems in Massa Lubrense, I ended up staying here for 4 nights and enjoyed my time here. The hotel staff and adjoining restaurant staff are friendly and make you welcome. The rooms are clean, but quite basic, however, the view from my room which overlooked the bay was very picturesque.... More

Place is very clean and breakfast is good. the main drawback is that it is located at the bottom of the town, that means you either have to climb up to the town center or take the bus. For us we did not mind the walk at all. The ocean-view room has a good view of the harbor and the... More

This place is a dump and I'd advise anyone to find another place to stay in Sorrento. We booked it last minute in Rome which was our first mistake and stayed 3 nights, Sep 6, 7, 8, 2011. The first room we were in was room 309; first clue it was bad was it wasn't even listed on the elevator... More

First, a warning: this little hotel is at the bottom of the narrow, winding road that leads from the Piazza Tasso down to the water level, so virtually anything you want to do in Sorrento (except taking a ferry to Ischia or Capri) requires that you make your way back up the steep hill to town. You can take taxis... More

We had a nice time in this lovely little hotel. The rooms were simple but clean and tidy, which was all we required. The beds were all mainly compfy, and the food was of a reasonable standard. The Hotel was in an alright location, with te exception of the number of stairs into the town. Room Keeping was of a... More

Great management, great service, neat location. Also, very cool gelato guy right outside the hotel. We felt like they were glad we picked their hotel and it seemed to be a family run place. Highly recommended! Great food! More

A very pleasant outlook and being handy to the harbour did not compensate for the mouldy bathroom and rock hard bed! A fairly disappointmenting experience! More

If you expect a large American style hotel - stay somewhere else. If you want a small, family owned Italian experience with clean rooms, immediately next to beaches, ferries, buses, and restaurants on the water on Piccolino Marina - then stay here. You can catch the bus up to the city of Sorrento for a Euro and you don't have... More

I stayed at this hotel last summer enroute to Capri. The one positive thing that I can say is that it is 30 feet away from the ferries to Capri. First off, make sure you have cash if you are coming from the train station, because the cabbies know that this hotel is difficult to get to on foot. They... More
