The room was small, with barely enough space for us to open both our suitcases, but that didn't bother me much. The first morning we woke up to the bathroom smelling so strongly of smoke that I had to hold my breath going in. This is a nonsmoking hotel so it was disappointing to experience. Also, during cleaning every day the staff would open the windows for some reason, which would 1) let in bugs and 2) make the room really hot when we returned. Not sure why they kept doing that. Breakfast offered coffee/tea, a couple of juices, scrambled eggs, a rotating daily frittata, cured meats, veggies, pizzas, and a huge table of sweet pastries. Not the most balanced as there wasn't much protein, and overall, quality wasn't the best. But I still appreciated getting my morning coffee and a bite to eat before heading out for the day. There was an incredible view from the breakfast balcony though- definitely worth enjoying the view of Mt Vesuvius and the coast line, and probably my favorite part of the hotel stay.

Our room was a suite with two balconies, and a picturesque view of the sea and Mt Vesuvius. Our room felt secluded and private. Beautiful and comfortable sofa and chairs in the room with all the bathroom amenities you would want. We would love to come back and spend more than the four nights we were there! I would highly recommend the hotel installing some safety features in the shower, as it is very slippery and there are no rails in the shower to hold on to. I would imagine someone has probably slipped. The breakfast was enjoyable and relaxing, the omelet maker girl was very nice! We really enjoyed walking the grounds including the cave to the waterside. It was a beautiful pool and very relaxing with drinks. I would also recommend the hotel accommodate travelers who would like to mail a post card and do it for them. Most hotels will mail it and even put the postage on the card. I would also recommend water to be handed out at the concierge or lobby desk for NO CHARGE. We had to pay 7 euros for one large bottle. We have stayed at other hotels and they just ask how many boxes of water we would like. This hotel is close walking into town, we would definitely go back!

Waking up and looking out the window to see the coast was just breath taking. Their indoor HEATED pool is instagram worthy! Location is walking distance from the train/bus station.

I never wanted to leave! We booked the junior studio and based on the photos I was worried we were paying for a view we wouldn't be able to see much of. I needn't have worried-- there is a beautiful view from the bed and an inviting reading nook. This room is much nicer than the photos let on. Our room was totally private, except for the endless views and quiet, except for the sound of the sea. One note is this hotel (and all hotels with this particular view) is about 30 minute walk from the ferry terminal and about 20+ from the train station. It was fine for us but if you want something convenient to transportation you might look for something in town. (But seriously, this place is amazing and worth the walk)

The Amalfi Coast and nearby Sorrentine Peninsula are full of majestic 5-star hotels. It's an…read moreexpensive region to visit, so be ready to pay high prices. Having said that though, the amenities, facilities, service, etc tend to be top notch at these hotels of course and this adds to the magical aspect of vacationing in this beautiful region. When researching where to stay we were mainly looking for a centrally located hotel with a pool and Grand Hotel La Favorita met this simple criteria. The hotel itself was on a great location, a few blocks away from the main strip, walking distance from all the main sites and just around the corner from the elevator that takes you to the lower level of the cliff from where you can walk to the port (this is important especially if you're using ferries as a mode of transportation). The decor of the hotel is beautiful and enchanting. They have lemon trees all around the ground floor and in the garden area. The furniture in the common areas is elegant and classic. Our room was very spacious, as was the bathroom, which had a tub (not separate from the shower). We didn't have a room with a view (we booked a classic double room) but honestly I'm not sure how much of a view other rooms have since there is a large hotel right in front of La Favorita which appears to block the views of the water. Perhaps the only rooms that I could see having a partial water view are the ones facing the side street (Via Tasso) and the ones on the top floors, but I'm not entirely sure. The room had a safe, complimentary sparkling and still water, coffee maker and coffee, robes and slippers as well as nice toiletries. We got delicious Baci chocolates left on our nightstands after each time the room was made up. They also had a pillow menu, from which you could literally pick the type of pillow of your choice depending on your preference (soft, medium, feathers, etc). I have never seen a pillow menu at a hotel before so I thought this was an interesting and fine detail, however I didn't really take advantage of it, I just kept the pillows that were already on the bed. The bed was pretty comfortable and the room had blinds which when closed kept the room pitch dark. The only two criticisms I have for this hotel are regarding the AC and the poor drainage in the bathtub. The AC really didn't work well and didn't cool the room much despite me trying to lower the temperature to 16C. Also, the water pooled in the tub as we showered and didn't drain completely until the water from the shower was completely turned off. and the poor drainage in the tub. We didn't actually complaint to anyone about this, not sure what if anything they could have done about it though. The main highlight of this hotel has to be their fantastic rooftop pool with great views of the city, the hills and the Vesuvius. We took advantage of using the pool every evening after we came back from exploring the towns. The water in the pool is cold and that was perfect to cool off from the intense heat. The bar and restaurant are also on the rooftop and although we did not have dinner there, we did enjoy a cocktail while watching the sunset. The rooftop pool was a perfect spot to relax and it was everything we were hoping for. Another great thing about this hotel was their fantastic breakfast served in a spacious dining area, on the balcony or out on the giardino. They had an amazing spread pastries, breads, cold and hot items, fruits, cereals, as well as an omelette station. Espresso drinks were made to order and to your liking (I always asked for my cappuccino to be made strong since I don't like them too milky). Service was impeccable. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely recommend this hotel if staying in Sorrento.

What could be a 4-star experience is sadly two. The hotel…read moreis located in a business district which is in the midst of rejuvenation. As such there are a lot of derelict buildings and businesses nearby. Nothing the hotel can do about, but does make it seem off-putting and sketchy when you first show up. It is conveniently located close to the Centro Direzionale Metro stop, which makes getting around easy. And a 20 minute walk to the front of the Centrale train station. There is a bar and restaurant on site, serving a good buffet breakfast and a wide selection of meals in the evening. Staff are very friendly, speak multiple languages and the food is good value for money. I was particularly impressed with the pizzas. Where the hotel experience falls down though is the rooms. They are in the process on renovating, but it is apparent that little forethought was given to the practicality of the renovated room. We had booked a suite that had a king size bed for my wife and I and what was supposed to be an additional room with a sofa bed for our daughter. The old rooms had this, but the new layout is open. Good for light, not good for privacy. Instead the beds are separated by some vertical metal bars with a TV hung and a small wooden shelf. There is also a TV in the area where the sofa bed is. This becomes problematic if someone wants to watch TV. When you use the remote on one TV, it affects the other, unless you stand within an inch of the TV receiver. Turning on one TV also turns on the other. Changing, volume, channels etc also does the same. Then there's the bathroom. Before there was separate room with a shower/tub, toilet and bidet, with a sink open to the room. Now the shower has been moved to the open area, and two sinks are on the vanity. So anybody using the shower does not have any privacy to those lying in the bed. Something our teenage daughter did not appreciate, and had to schedule when she could shower whilst we would have to wait outside the room. The two sinks are impractical as they leave very, very little room for any personal items, such as toothbrush, deodorant, make up kit etc. Again, looks nice, but is not practical for a guest to use.

Ok, no worries I needed to grab some items since I was going to be staying there for over a week, came back at approximately 315pm and the room still wasn't available then told to come back around 4 pm. Mind you I had been flying for 19 hours so I am jet lagged and feeling a bit sticky from all that flying. Finally, the room was ready around 5 pm the front desk staff was nice and the valet gentlemen were cool, when you park you have to be specific if you are going to lock in for the evening or if you are going to come back out within the hour because if you aren't they will put your vehicle in a garage up the street. The bar and food inside the hotel are decent and the bartenders have heavy hands no problem here with that, there is also a restaurant right outside of the pretty good hotel. Once I finally got to the room my a/c didn't work and it took them three days to fix it, however, the bed was comfortable, and the housekeeping staff was friendly, if you don't speak Italian google translate is your friend.
