We have just returned from this lovely hotel where we spent 4 days. I have given it a 4 but that is mainly because the staff are so nice and helpful, they really cannot do enough for you and are always willing to help. We stayed in room 1 and had a lovely view from our balcony. The room was... More

yes, this is a budget hotel, and yes, i'm sure there are better places to stay, but if you are out and about exploring the Amalfi Coast your entire trip and eating your way through town, what more could you need?? the staff is absolutely amazing!! the two men at the reception desk (both look alike) are so warm and...

I was excited to stay here after reading some reviews and communicating with the owner/manager. It is located at the top of the hill, you will have a wonderful view. However, as a solo female traveler and booking 6 months in advance, I was surprised to learn where my room was. I was literally in the basement, which, I might... More

Hotel Desiree is 3 star hotel, mainly for its staff great service, panoramic view and location, fact its has a 'private' beach. the other parameters are doubt-able. The breakfast is very basic and can easily be skipped (even for a common Italian colazione), the rooms are clean and 'roomy' with nice space to move around though the furniture & ceramics... More

Was my second time here at Hotel Desiree...what I like is the price.. we stayed 7 days, and could afford dinner and lunch out..thanks to the hotel pricing. Some hotels in Sorrento are very expensive. So we got used to the heat... and it was hot ! But fan did cool it down. Wonder if ceiling fans would make all... More

The location is only a 10 min walk into town along a footpath (slightly uphill on the way back). Our balcony was spacious with outdoor furniture and looked over the hillside. They have a private beach which is super cute (pity it was raining the day we were there) and is accessible via an elevator. The room was slightly small... More

We arrived by taxi which given the location of any hotel in Sorrento is a necessity if you a number of bags. Check in was smooth, the view from the reception is stunning, thereafter things got interesting, the room really did smell awful. Black mould swiped across the wall in the bathroom was the likely source. The bathroom that had... More

We got a bus from Sorrento train station which only takes 5-10 minutes (you need to buy tickets in advance). Hotel in great setting so we were pleased. such a stunningly beautiful part of the world. I knew within minutes of arriving that I'd be coming back. I would stay in a different hotel. I picked this one quite quickly... More

The hotel is a solid 30 min fast walk from the train station and 20 min from Centro. Our room was right outside the front desk, by our choice because the rest of the rooms were 1-4 flights down and no elevator. THe Continental breakfast was unimaginative. Parking is at a premium. Service was very good however. Our room was... More

This hotel is built on a cliff face, with a view over the bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. The entrance and reception are at street level, with all hotel rooms at a lower levels, there is no elevator. They do have a strong young man who is more than happy to carry your suitcases for you. The hotel has... More
