    the rooms were large, but very empty. Could make a little more with the space.

    the location by the port is wonderful. Also, the rooftop bar/dip pool was a nice touch. The hotel was also very knowledgeable about all things going on.

    The location to the marina and it was a quick walk up the steps to the main town, or you can take the shuttle bus, which leaves from right out the front We also had a sea view

    Beautiful large terrace from our room, To celebrate my birthday we wanted to have drinks on the terrace - but they could not supply glasses only offer us small plastic cups that spoilt the whole celebration. Strongly suggest they have wine and champagne glasses available for guests on request (even if they are plastic)

    Excellent Hotel on the beachfront in Sorrento. Marvelous terrace overlooking the Gulf. Brilliant rooftop pool and bar area with beautiful sea views. Staff were very attentive and the attached restaurant a real find. Close to transport to the city centre - we took the bus up to town and the lift back down to the waterfront. Lots of local bars and restaurants.

    If you want a sun lounger at the pool it cos 15 euro per person for the day, which I find a bit unfair as you would think access in a hotel you'd already paid money for a room would be free. Never heard of charging for chairs in hotels before. You can still use the tables and chairs though and the pool.

    Fantastic location at the port of Sorrento making ferry access and access to the centre so convenient. Large clean comfortable room and bathroom. Nice rooftop area with small pool/ seating and bar.

    There is a charge of 15 euro per sunbed which when your a resident of the hotel I think is wrong . Because of the location of the hotel there are lots of steps to get here and back up to sorrento town.

    Great location on the port and beach clubs . Roof top bar lovely . Our room was nice but small and was cleaned daily Air con was fab

    My bathroom was small and dated. There were dozens of speckles of mould on every tile within the room. Whilst the rooftop bar area is great, having to pay €50 for a sun lounger is excessive.

    The rooftop bar is excellent and has a beautiful view across the coast. The staff are friendly and helpful with any enquiries or issues. The rooms are cleaned and tidied daily. Breakfast was OK and it is only a short walk to the marina or to the lift to get to the centre of town.

    Pool facilities are ok, although drinks were dear and 15€ for a lounge chair at a location you probably wouldn’t spend a lot of time at

    Restaurant was good value and friendly staff This Hotel is located at port level, so stairs to to the street level or short walk to the town lift 1€ Make sure you do Pathway to the gods walking tour while you in Sorrento

    Front desk staff weren’t very friendly and asking questions felt like you were interrupting them. The room was noisy as on the road side and didn’t help that other guests were noisy finding their room at 11.30pm

    the room was clean, bed was comfortable and air con worked. The 4th floor pool was ok. Was a fantastic location right next to the port for ferries and boat tours. The ladies at breakfast (free breakfast with a good choice of items) were great.

    The pool is too small, I guess they had a skilled photographer for the advertising, at least drop the name infinity pool please The breakfast was poor but that’s my opinion in general with hotels in Europe, what I didn’t find anywhere else is that if they run out of something in the morning they don’t replenish it as someone else said here

    The location is great if you use the ferry, you are close to a little shop where u can buy water cause they don’t give u one in the room or in the mini bar ( the first time I had an empty mini bar) U can go to the city center using the stairs, the lift or the bus The staff was ok

    There was a lady I the area of reception, not Valeria, she was great, the other long black hair, she was rude by explaining the rules of use of the pool, she started to argue with me about that, saying that this is what I pay for a 3 stars hotel, if I wanted better should I stay somete else!!! I work in the hotel industry and I understand that the culture is so different than in Mexico is, but getting to a point that you argue with ure client for no reason??

    The sky bar view and the general manager attention was incredible, the restaurants on the bottom of the hotel, the food was fantastic!!! I can say was the. Highlight of my entire trip! Thank you so much!

    It is better to use more comfortable pillow and the duvet.

    Breakfast choices were very poor. The only fruit/veg were tomatoes and strawberries. Occasional apples. Once they ran out they weren’t replenished for that day’s breakfast. The eggs, scrambled or boiled were dry and blue. No tea/coffee making facilities.

    Excellent location, fabulous view, lovely staff.
