We stayed for a few nights in April. Cute hotel not unlike most that you find in Europe, and in particular Italy. If you have the money, definitely upgrade to the balcony room....sitting out there with a glass of wine with those views is fantastic. The restaurant does not look appealing (too bright and "modern" for the feel of Sorrento),... More

Some rooms were lovely and others were awful. The food was decent but the location was fabulous, provided you are in shape enough to climb the stairs back up to the main part of town. Lovely little restaurant next door on the water.

After realizing my rooms electrical outlets were cracked and were unusable and the thin mattresses had its springs popping through and the bathroom was splattered with mold,I called front desk and asked for someone to come up and assess the conditions.

Was there as a parent on a high school group trip. Some of the rooms were very large with terraces or patios and some were tiny-like a ship's cabin, Bur even the small ones were clean and quaint. The staff were very kind and helpful and the food was good. The location on the waterfront provided great views but was... More

We stayed here for three nights en route from Procida to Sicily. The hotel is a step from the Port, which is great for those, like us, who travel by boat. A warm welcome from the staff, many of whom speak English and - more important - were prepared to tolerate our basic Italian. The room was clean and comfortable,... More

We just got back from a trip to Rome and Greece and we stayed at this hotel for one night. Our room although small was clean and adequate for our needs. Yes the stairs are a bit of a trek but we just brought an overnight bag to carry so we were not lugging heavy suitcases, but if you are... More

Stayed here with my family in July. Very clean rooms and hospitable staff who was very helpful in assisting us with tours and excursions information. Signora Carmela was very kind and extremely helpful to my mother and I. Would stay there again. Franca Tasciotti

Stayed a night at the il Faro and if it were not for the view, would not have stayed. The room was very dated, somewhat clean but as mentioned, a million $ view. That is all it has going for it. Here was the odd thing, they also own the restaurant attached to the hotel and give rides to the... More

In July, I had the opportunity to go on a school trip with a lot of my friends here. I looked at the reviews before I left, and got extremely worried. When they mentioned giant stairs to get to town, I didn't think it'd be that bad - trust me, it is. Please, only go up those stairs if you... More

My husband and I stayed here for a few nights when visiting Sorrento on our 3 week trip to Italy in May/June. I was drawn to it because of the unique and convenient location paired with the budget price - it is not worth saving the money! I do not need to be over-the-top pampered by a hotel when we... More
