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.

Overall, we had a positive stay at this hotel in Sorrento. The location is perfect — right at the end of a lively high street with fantastic restaurants within a 5-minute walk, and only 15 minutes down to the ferry port and beaches (though be prepared for some steps). The breakfasts were a real highlight, with fresh omelettes made to order and a nice selection of other options, all enjoyed with beautiful views from the breakfast area. Most of the staff were friendly, polite, and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms were fine — nothing particularly special, but clean and with excellent air conditioning which was essential in the heat. One downside was the shower, which would flood the bathroom floor every time it was used, which was frustrating. Unfortunately, our experience was soured on our final day. Our flight wasn’t until the evening, so we planned to relax by the pool and freshen up before heading to the airport. When we asked about facilities like showers and changing rooms, the hotel’s attitude completely shifted. Suddenly we were treated like an inconvenience rather than guests who had spent well over £1,000 for a stay. They insisted we had to leave the room by 11am and could only use the pool until 1pm — after which, we were left with nowhere to shower or get ready, in 33°C heat, before our flight home. When we politely raised this, the manager was incredibly rude, dismissive and argumentative, even speaking over us rather than offering any solutions or even basic courtesy. I understand that hotels don’t have to provide post-checkout facilities, but it’s the attitude and lack of basic hospitality that really disappointed us — especially for the price paid. Most hotels we’ve stayed at would at least try to be accommodating. In summary: a good hotel in a brilliant location with great breakfasts and generally nice staff — but be very cautious if you have a late flight, as you’ll essentially be kicked out and disregarded as soon as you check out. Sadly, this experience changed our overall opinion of the hotel and we wouldn’t stay here again.

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!

From the start of our stay (5 nights) until the morning we left, we were treated to excellent and friendly service. I would particularly like to thank the team that were servicing Breakfast each morning. Raffaellie was an amazing chef cooking eggs and bacon for my partner and I each morning. He was also very funny.|Grazie!

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.
