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 😍❤️😍

Fantastic hotel on outskirts of Sorrento. Rooms very clean and stuck in 1970's style but this added to the charm and appeal. Lovely roof terrace overlooking sea and surroundings with access to private beach with charming gardens and a lift. Adjacent restaurant in Hotel La Tonnarella was 5 stars (bloody pricey but delicious and worth a treat). So romantic a setting, you just enjoy it.

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 stayed here for 4 nights as part of our honeymoon. The view from the room was great and it was a quiet location a short walk into the main downtown region of sorrento. The breakfast included was prepared by Annamaria and was amazing every morning and a great way to start the day. Loved our time in sorrento

The positives are that this hotel has fantastic views. We had a corner room and it had a balcony, large windows and doors that we kept open. This was great. We were facing lush vegetation and since it had rained, the stream and waterfall was amazing. Access to a small private beach and nature area is also a huge plus.|Also, access to the adjacent hotel's roof top terrace and restaurant is a plus. We ate lunch there and food and service was great, plus to die for views.||Breakfast was good. Staff was always helpful and friendly. There is a community fridge, that we used to keep our prosecco cold. Rooms are clean and comfortable.||The concerns, this hotel needs some major upkeep, some areas looked unkept, clutter, this place has so much potential. Not dirty, just forgotten. The path to beach had debris, unkept, slippery. Again a little effort will transform this place. A lot of stairs, although I think there is an elevator.||Finally, keep in mind this hotel is away from city center. Walkable, we did this walk with bags uphill. It took us about 20 minutes to train station. We walked downhill and enjoyed views. A plus is there is a bus stop in front. Plenty of taxis available to take you to hotel||Overall a great stay, also great value, I paid a good price for a corner, triple room, with balcony, to die for views, adjacent to a nature reserve with a stream and waterfall, beautiful sunrise, a balcony that we enjoyed morning coffee and afternoon wine. Breakfast included, and good wifi and a private beach.

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 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…
