I was skeptical when we arrived because it seemed like a cute but simple stay compared to what I usually get. But the rooms were very clean, the breakfast was good and the staff went above and beyond to help us. They were very patient and considerate. Even after we checked out they helped us.

Room and hotel in general very clean and tidy, breakfast was very good with plenty of choices. Location was ideal as we arrived via the port, and the hotel is right next to it. A bit of a trek up the cliffs into Sorrento centre but no big deal if mobile. Taxis also readily available at the port.

Went to the wrong Il Faro first which was a disaster that took a £30 taxi ride to fix. Not even a real entry, but google thinks it is. And watch out. It’s on the port which is at the bottom of the cliff below the town. Lovely location and there is a lift to the top of the cliff.

We were here for a quick night's sleep before catching the ferry to Capri in the morning. Staff was absolutely lovely and helped us with our car. The room was clean and comfortable and a lovely little mirror to give us a beautiful view to wake up to from bed. Breakfast was great! Thank you so much for a lovely stay!

The hotel is located by the marina so not too the main square for shopping and variety of restaurants. It’s a climb up to get to main square or alternatively it’s 2.40 euros for 2 to take a lift up. There are a number of restaurants by the hotel though which were good.Our room was spacious and very clean. Evenings were a bit noisy while we were there in early October. Overall I would recommend the hotel.

The room (406) was small but very clean and perfect for a short mini break. I’m 5ft 3 and I definitely agree with other reviews that the shower is compact but the water pressure is excellent. The pool is a dip pool and was only open from 10am to 6pm so we did not use it as we had booked daily tours. The hotel is in an excellent location for the boat tours as it is situated across the street from the harbour. The lift to the main square and most bus tours is a 5 minute walk from the hotel. My one complaint is that the hotel provide guests who have an early tour with a grab bag for breakfast. We had to meet a tour bus at 7:30 in the main square and despite being advised by the lady on the desk to come down at 06:45 and grab breakfast the gentleman on the desk the next morning informed us we could not get into the breakfast area until 7am and when we informed him what his colleague had told us he simply shrugged his shoulders and said 7.

The hotel is amazing. It has a rooftop bar overlooking the harbor with a pool. The staff is so accommodating.

I would definitely go here again!

Directly in front of you when you come off the ferry. Clean and all the amenities. Never been anywhere that you had to put a key in a slot for electricity so learned something new. Very small elevator only big enough for 2 people and 2 suitcases so it can be busy. Taxi stand just outside in the parking lot. Restaurants just outside, too. Overall just what we needed.

Small room but was perfect for our needs. We we wanted to stay one night in sorrento before our flight to Naples and we were coming from ischia - the location near the ferry port allowed us easy access to come over in the morning they took our luggage and we got to spend the day seeing the coast with easy access to ferries we went to positano and back and enjoyed an incredible evening in sorrento all made possible due to location by the ferry

The hotel is well located by the little harbor, and next to two great restaurants, buses, cabs and a couple of shops. Parking is a bit complicated with the on-call valet, but they were nice, and we made it work. The roof top pool and bar is amazing with great views of Napoli, the ocean, and Mount Vesuvius.

It's in an odd location. It's at the wharf level and the town is above so you have to walk up many stairs, find the elevator or use a bus to get to town and the train station. Could hear other doors slam from our room. Pretty simple decor though the bathroom was nice and up to date.

The hotel was great. In the middle of everything. Especially close to the docs so if you have any boat tours planned for Capri Positano or Ischia, you’re right there. The only drawback is that you’re at the bottom and to get up to the city, you have to walk a bunch of stairs. However, there is an Elevator close by that you could take that takes you right up to the city for about one euro.
