We love Sorrento and have stayed at various hotels - we chose the Vesuvio as it was rated as five star, and we thought we would treat ourselves. We had a stunning view of Vesuvius from our room, but there was little else to praise about this hotel. Sure, it was clean enough, which is important, but we found the... more

The location of the hotel is convenient, the view of the bay from their outdoor bar is excellent, so excellent perhaps that the hotel has become accustomed to a regular influx of visitors. Inured to any personal observations, the staff was more like that you would find on a cruise ship, a disgruntled cruise ship. No, I would not recommend... more

Having been to Sorrento 6 years ago, only to find out we weren't even in the centre, but in St Agnelo, and also going 'budget' the first time, this trip we wanted to do in style, and the Grand Hotel Vesuvio did not disappoint, Situated just up the hill overlooking Marina Grande and Vesuvius in the distance, the hotel (Sorrento's... more

We booked this hotel after looking at Trip advisor comments. The hotel is a good 20-30 minutes walk from the main sorrento town form where you take the bus or train to various connecting towns in Italy. I booked the hotel as they said thay had a good shuttle bus service. However, we only relaised that the shuttle bus operates... more

I have just spent a week staying at the Grand Hotel Vesuvio with my best friend. We needed a relaxing week with good food. This is especially inportant for me as I need a gluten free diet but usually find it difficult to have real choice. The head waiter NIno and his staff went out of their way to ensure... more

This stay was part of an Amalfi Coast tour we book through CIT. On the surface, the hotel was ok, nice enough rooms with an amazing view of the sea, but considering the price we were a little underwhelmed. Staff on the front desk were quite abrupt compared to the wonderful staff in the dining room. It feels there are... more

Reasonably priced hotel. Huge... reminded me a bit of the hotel in The Shining with Jack Nicholson. The room was big, clean and tastefully decorated. |The view from the hotel was amazing... unfortunately we had no view from our room. The more expensive ones face mount Vesuvio and the bay of Naples though. The staff at the front desk weren't... more

We were disappointed with every aspect of our stay starting with check-in which was impersonal and unwelcoming. Our room was basic lacking many of the amenities expected in a 4-star hotel such as tea/coffee facilities; a clock; safety/evacuation procedures and a directory of services. The mini-bar was poorly stocked and no ice was available. Noise from air conditioning units made... more

This was a glorious Hotel that was booked for me by a Tour Company. I paid for a single room, it had really comfy twin beds, was roomy, bright, spotless, beautifully laid out. Bathroom also really nice and roomy. Such a wonderful change from the pokey, dingy, tiny,single rooms everywhere else in Europe. Decor featured Mediteranean Blue and White throughout.... more
