Grand Hotel Capodimonte  

A lovely 'character' hotel. We loved all the numerous terraces and seating areas, all with fantastic views. The public areas and rooms were all very well maintained and decorated with a luxury feel, yet it still retained lots of charm and was very individual. The bathrooms were luxurious marble, with a good powerful shower. The cleaning was very thorough. The breakfasts were fantastic - a huge range of fresh fruit, individually cooked omelettes to name some of our favourites, however champagne alongside all the juices was an added bonus, drinking Bucks Fizz for breakfast overlooking the fantastic view from the dining room has to be one of the the highlights of our stay. Parking, although we had to pay for it, was an incentive for staying there, as finding a parking space in Sorrento is not easy! Although not cheap, we would certainly recommend this hotel for a special occasion.

Others have commented on lack of tea/coffee facilities/ironing boards etc, although frustrating that these aren't available, we travel a lot and find this typical of hotels in Europe. The restaurant was very well staffed and beautifully presented with a phenomenal view, however it was this service and the view that was being paid for. We only ate in one evening because it was torrential rain...too wet to venture out, but Sorrento has some fantastic restaurants which provide much better food.

How to describe this hotel?? Elegant? Breathtaking views? Fabulous pools? Excellent location? Take your pick of any. Wonderful experience we shall not soon forget.

You have to be very careful crossing the busy road at this location. The sidewalks are very narrow as well in this particular area. The driveway leading up to hotel entrance is on a bit of an incline and could be a chore for an elderly person to climb.

The location was perfect, walking distance to town etc. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful especially in recommending excursions and driving routes. Hotel facilities were very good

This is the nicest hotel we have stayed in on holiday. We are seasoned travelers who expected to stay two nights and actually reorganized our trip to extend by two more nights. I cannot imagine being in this area and staying anywhere else.

This hotel is immaculate. We have stay at many hotels and this ranks at the top for cleanliness. The location is perfect. It's a 5-15 minute walk into town, depending on where you are headed. The walk is easy & enjoyable though. You will be doing a lot of walking in this area anyway, so the walk from the hotel is nothing. I am so happy we stayed here. The view from our room (705) was amazing. Be sure to ask for a room of Vesuvius & the ocean. The morning breakfasts were very good. We had free Internet in our room. I highly recommend this hotel.

The mattress & pillows were a little too firm for our liking.

Everything. The view was great. If with a rainy day you have a great stay.

The stunning panoramic views and the rooms were a nice size

The reception hall is a bit dated, could do with re-vamp and the furnishings were seriosuly out of date too, I found this let the hotel down badly as yuor first impression is of the lobby and surrounding areas.

The hotel was spacious, had a fabulous view over Sorrento and the Bay of Naples. Even though it was was the end of the season the staff were very attentive, helpful and polite. The rooms were clean and the bed comfortable. The breakfast was very good with plenty of choice.

No tea or coffee making facilities in the room.

Lovely Hotel with very friendly staff It was our 25th Wedding Anniversary and it felt very special. The location was great and the seaview room was spectacular.

2 single beds pushed together was very poor and we did feel very let down a proper double bed on your 25th Wedding anniversary should have been a prerequisite. Such a shame as the room was fantastic otherwise

The hotel was beautiful, the breakfast was great. I loved the front door! It was a beautiful layout. Staff at reception were very helpful and nice, especially in helping me to book a bus for our group to Naples. The pool was amazing even though we didn't actually have an opportunity to use it. It was nice that the downtown area was so close so we could walk everywhere we went.

I was the first person in the group checked in and requested a room with a balcony. What I got was a patio about 8 feet deep with a view of a cement wall. Mostly everyone else in the group had a balcony with some type of view so I was very disappointed with that. I also did not like having to cross the VERY busy road in front of the hotel.

The facilities, location and staff are outstanding. This is our second stay and we would stay again.

Nice views of Sorrento from room. Breakfast ok.

We brought our 3month old and were charged €15 per night for cot rental. I felt this was steep especially given the quality of the cot. Other hotels we stayed in in italy provided cot for infant free of charge.
