Hotel Rivage Sorrento

Stayed here for 8 nights... Excellent location minutes walk from restaurants and shops. Beautiful views from our bedroom and breakfast room. Friendly and such helpful staff throughout our stay. Bedroom on the 2nd floor was so spacious and clean. Two complaints.... One was there was a constant sewerage smell, mostly coming from the sink and two from early morning it was very noisy, as if people moving furniture above us, cant imagine it was cleaners from 6am? Pool area was so nice and quiet, lovely to chill and relax. Overall we would definitely recommend here and staff couldn't do enough...

The location of this hotel is perfect - walkable distance to shopping and restaurants, marina, port and train station. The dining room has a beautiful view of the ocean as well. The staff was friendly but be aware the English of the staff for breakfast can be a tad limited. The breakfast buffet was tons of pastries and toast/bagels/croissants, a few fruit options, cereal (with very warm milk) and cold quiche. The best cooked breakfast option was the omelette or the toast with ham and cheese, the eggs and bacon were very undercooked. Overall for a free included breakfast we enjoyed it every morning. You do only get one coffee though which my husband was not thrilled with. The restaurant for dinner however was outstanding and if you're staying here definitely make a point to eat here one night. Our room was fine however the ceiling is paper thin and not sound proofed at all. It sounded like someone was moving heavy furniture all night long above us. Maybe add some sound proofing to the ceiling as we did not need the super high ceilings and would have preferred the quiet at night. The mattress was an old spring mattress and was very uncomfortable. That would be my main suggestion would be a major overhaul to the beds. Definitely request a 3rd floor room, we had family stay in the lower rooms and they were not happy at all with their accommodations. The view from the 3rd floor garden room we had wasn't bad, with views of the cliff and trees but the lower down you go the worse the view gets. A 3rd floor sea view room would be the most ideal room to stay in. The pool was small and very cold but we did not use it so that didn't really matter to us. The grocery store across the street had great options if you don't want to have to eat out every night.

Hotel Rivage is absolutely superb in all aspects, the location is fantastic, the staff are very friendly and welcoming, the hotel astetics are very good! The food and drinks are fantastic and the pool area is great for chilling out and lapping up the sun and glorious mountain and sea views. I would highly recommend staying at this hotel if you are spending time in Sorrento. We will absolutely be staying here again in the future. 5 stars all round.

A really nice hotel. Staff are friendly. We had a nice view down the beautiful valley to Marina Grande with hotels on the hillside and limestone cliffs. Breakfast was ok with limited cooked options which you order, a coffee, sweet stuff and cereal. Seemed to be a lot of brits there but all were well behaved. You step out the front door and within 100m you’re on the Corso Italia where everyone promenades esp at night….it’s awesome and for men I’d recommend an ironed short sleeved shirt and shorts or chinos to fit in with some very beautiful and glamorous people. We had a peaceful beautiful stay in this hotel which seems to date to the 1930s and with some remaining Art Deco touches. The rooms are tiled and large and cool. Youlll love this stylish but Unfussy place and be ready with your buongiornos and Grazie Mille in the mornings.

Lovely little hotel in Sorrento which is the ideal location for exploring the area. Pool area was really nice and it was a real bonus for us having it there to enjoy. Room with balcony is highly recommended we loved the view. Only downside was the beds were so hard and uncomfy.

Our last stop on our road trip. |The cost of this hotel was one of the cheaper options in Sorrento.|Breakfast was very good, pool area clean, lovely views and nice pool too.|Very good location to explore Sorrento - lots of bars, restaurants and shops. The staff were all friendly and helpful. |The hotel sorted out the car parking - we literally left it in the middle of the car park and they took it offsite. We did think 25 euros a day was a bit steep but it wasn’t the end of the world.|The room itself was ok. Air con, fridge and a safe all good. The bed was so so uncomfortable & the bathroom needs re doing desperately. |Overall, for what we paid I would recommend staying here. |Thank you for the stay!

Stayed here 2019 and now in June 2025. Hotel has changed for the better. The breakfast has seen a big improvement, with a small offering of omelette and fried egg and bacon, together with a large variety of continental breakfast. Rooms very adequate. Have increased the sun bathing area and carried out improvements around the pool and walk ways. Brilliant views from pool across the bay of Napels also same views from the communal balcony, where you can consume your own drinks purchased from the supermarket opposite the hotel. The most noticeable improvement comes from the staff. Extreamly helpful and friendly. Anna and her friendly colleagues could not do enough to help their customers this also included the reception staff. If I were to ever visit Surrento again, this will be my first port of call.

Where should I start with my review? There are definitely 2 sides to this place with equal pros and cons. With opinions obviously being based on my personal stand point.||Firstly its location. Positioned at the far western end of Corso Italia it’s a walk to the centre of town. Personally I didn’t mind this. And situated at the base of the cliffs with a decent sea view from the sun terrace was certainly picturesque.|Next the hotel itself. It’s a nice and clean and the staff are courteous and friendly. The hotel has an odd layout, that being its pretty much upside down, with the reception being on floor 4 and the rooms being on the 3 floors below. ||Our room. We drew the short straw it seems by getting allocated room 114. This is at the bottom of the hotel and whilst our booking said terrace view, our actual view was of a tiled floor and a wall. 2 plant pots in an inaccessible alley doesn’t constitute a terrace. This made our room extremely dark and drab feeling. Not the sunny Sorrento room we’d hoped for. There’s a cupboard with a hanging rail with 8 hangers and 2 drawers. No other storage is available. The shower is small but functional, with hot water always on tap. But there are some strange wooden steps in there which I have no idea what are for. But if I stub my toes on these one more time, they will end up on the “terrace”. |The tv is on the dresser, taking up valuable space. This could be on the wall. The soundproofing of the room is abysmal. Every bump and scrape from adjacent rooms was heard. I’ve lost count how many times the room above flushed their toilet!! It sounds like our room was flooding. Awful. We were also awoken quite early (7am ish) on numerous occasions by what sounded like maintenance being carried out. Not ideal. The bed is very hard with pillows that offer very little support because they’re so soft. So all in all, what with the noise and the bed, we rarely got a good nights sleep. |I’ve never done this before but I actually asked the front desk if I could pay for a better, brighter room but was told no, the hotel is full. We accepted this and settled for our lot. However, looking on Booking.com, I could’ve booked a room. Strange. If you can get any sea facing room on floor 3 you’ll be fine. These have nice balconies. ||The food/restaurant. The view at breakfast was lovely with great views across the bay. The staff were also lovely with a genuine good morning smile. This sadly is where lovely stops. Breakfast was at best “okay”. They will cook you eggs (omelette or fried) with ham, cheese or wurstzel (sausage) but these vary between under cooked or over. Again this is perhaps personal preference. Should you choose a healthier option, the choice of fruit is melon or rock hard kiwi. Then there is toast, croissants or cake. Lots of cake. There’s no salt, pepper or sauce on any tables but I did find some salt and pepper pots stashed away to use. ||Facilities. The sun bed area was never full and had lovely views across the bay. You could always get a bed. The pool area, adjacent to the sun terrace was smallish, with a couple of chairs and a rather chilly pool. This also had nice views though. The hotel offered access to an ironing room, which proved to be most useful for making our clothes (which had been stored wherever we could stash them) a little more presentable. ||Overall. In the whole, this wasn’t the worst place I’ve ever stayed in but there were a few things which if addressed would’ve made our stay a lot better. ||PROS. |Nice location (views etc)|Friendly staff|Very clean|Floor 3 balcony rooms if you can get one. ||CONS. |Room 114 (noisiest, darkest room ever)|Hard beds|Soundproofing of room|Standard of breakfast|Could be too much of a walk to town for some.

My wife and I stayed here recently for three nights while visiting Sorrento and loved it. Our hotel room was very comfortable, modern, cozy and had plenty of space, and we had a beautiful view of the bay of Naples. And that made everything that much more special. The hotel itself is sleek, modern, clean, and very polished, which was everything that you would want in a hotel while on vacation. The front desk staff are very helpful and will answer your questions if you're inquiring about restaurants, needing a car pick up, or what to do in the local area. The location is a one minute walk to the old city, which is literally right down the street and extremely accessible to get to. In the old city, you will find restaurants, tourist, souvenir shops, bars, and shopping. My wife and I only ate breakfast at the hotel restaurant Nino's, which we found to be very good. If you have celiac disease, or can only eat gluten free food, they offer gluten-free options and are very accommodating. My wife has celiac disease was very happy with the accommodations. I would recommend visiting Sorrento to anyone who wants to see Italy's Mediterranean charm for a relaxing stay. And I absolutely recommend staying at the Rivage hotel as part of that experience.

We stayed here for two nights and visited the bar multiple times for drinks and breakfast. The front desk staff were very helpful during our stay, even arranging a last-minute transfer for us to Naples. The rooms were fine and just what we were looking for as we weren't expecting to spend much time in the room. The view from the bar is excellent and the drinks and wine we had during our stay were on par with other places we had gone for drinks in Sorrento. The included breakfast was also good, a buffet with made-to-order coffees included and a few additional breakfast items you could get made-to-order (we didn't try those, just tried the buffet as we were usually in a hurry). The prices were great for what we received/experienced so I would definitely recommend!

I didn't stay, we only dined here our fist day in Sorrento. At least they serve a full plate of grilled veggies. After being in Italy for more than 4 days a much needed break from pasta was in order. This place has the views and very decent wine prices. The food is not amazing and the service subpar but those veggies and views made my day. Husbands Pizza not so great though.

If I could give it 0 stars I would. The view is beautiful, but don't be fooled. The food tasted like it was frozen and heated up. We ordered two pizzas and they both tasted worse than DiGiorno frozen pizzas. You could come enjoy a nice beer with a beautiful view. But stay away from the food.

Very nice view but the food is horrible!! We ordered 2 pizzas and we were very disappointed. Their pizzas look like frozen pizzas and it's just so disappointing and unfair. I could barely finish one piece of pizza by myself. I wouldn't recommend this place to my friends. Try other restaurants instead.
