Hotel Desiree

We stayed 4 nights at Hotel Desiree and loved it. Room #1 has fabulous views from the good sized balcony. The room itself was cute, cosy, and comfortable. The bathroom could do with bit of an upgrade but it was adequate. The breakfast which was included in our rate was fabulous 👌 an excellent variety of sweet and savoury and the serving lady was very friendly and helpful. All the staff were very helpful and generous with their service. Hotel Desiree is a 10 minute walk from Sorrento centre but the views at day and night are fabulous. Highly recommend Hotel Desiree 😍❤️😍

The hotel has not been updated in 60 years. That's it's charm! Rooms are larger than norm on the Garden Level, the bed was definitely not comfortable, but there was a large tub. The breakfast service was good. But the notion of veg and vegan offerings at breakfast could stand a refresh and expansion if the stated offer is to be taken seriously. Service was good. Cleaning staff managed rooms daily. Front desk was responsive and helpful with booking transportation around Sorrento. Front desk helped us book our private car to the airport.

We booked this hotel bc of the relatively affordable price, considering the location. Breakfast was excellent with accommodating service in the most adorable little salon, very cozy. Staff were very nice and helpful. Location is clean, if not old and in need of updating, which is why the price is comparatively lower. Powerful A/C. Beds were comfortable. The highlight of this location, without a doubt, is the beach club and the proximity to La Tonnarella next door for drinks or dinner on the terrace with the jaw-dropping views. Beach club is private and absolute perfection!!!! Stones and sea glass, the bluest water, delicious drinks and snacks available. CANNOT beat the location.

The hotel was excellent. Check in was very easy and quick. The front desk staff was very polite, kind and helpful, especially the gentleman who gave us so much information about visiting Capri. Our room was cleaned and the beds were made every day. The cleanliness was exceptional. However, the star of the hotel is Anna Maria, the woman who prepared and serves breakfast every morning. What a wonderful human being. Warm, kind, happy, hard working....we would come back just to see her again. The location of the hotel is also excellent. It sits on a beautiful, tree covered cliff. There is a private beach and there is a beautiful waterfall visible from the breakfast room. It is only a little bit out of town but the walk is very easy and scenic and only takes about 15 minutes. We would definitely come back again.

This is a very simple hotel, but comfortable. We had a nice balcony with sea views. The hotel is within walking distance of town, though the port area can be about 25 min away on foot. Breakfast was very lovely with AnnaMaria! The staff was so very helpful in arranging transport, taxis and reservations for dinner. The shower was awesome with powerful hot water. It was nice to have a beach right there. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the comforters on the beds.

This is my second time staying in this hotel, and I really enjoy the location of it besides the long walk up hill. I especially like how they have an elevator down to the private beach area. Breakfast is good, they have a variety of things. The only thing I can never get over is the rock solid beds, especially as someone with back pain. Other than that it’s a great hotel. They have an iron upon request which is also great. Edit: I found some green and black mold growing on the ceilings in the bedroom and mainly in the bathroom above the showers which is not great as it’s a health risk. I don’t remember seeing any the last year i was here but I never looked at the ceiling. I meant to tell a staff member but had to rush out in the morning for my train…

We had a fantastic stay! A great location. 10-15 min walk into town. We made the walk a couple of times each day. The view from our room was stunning! It was chilly for the beach, so we spent several hours enjoying the solarium. The staff was so friendly. Always ready to help, extra towels, directions, dining recommendations, ins and outs of the bus. Highly recommend staying at Hotel Desiree.

I'm not one for emotional reviews, but I'll make an exception; My feeling of walking into our room here was one of nostalgia. It wasn't walking into a hotel, it was walking into a Nona's house from my childhood, welcoming, well worn, tidy and fastidiously clean. The view from the balcony was phenomenal, my girlfriend and I spent every evening reading and listening to the sound of the waterfall. The private beach wasn't cheap - €24 per person with the hotel discount, but it was peaceful and tidy. The included breakfast was better than I've received at more expensive hotels.
