Hotel Girasole  

Rita and the team were wonderfully friendly and very helpful, especially David who was a real sweetheart with a story to tell about most things, his specialities for lunch at the pool bar are absolutely divine!! All the staff spoke English which was really useful and offered advice on what to do and where to go. The pool area was lovely and not too busy so relaxing by the pool was enjoyable. Breakfast was great, the best we had in our stay in Italy, a good range and lovely to be able to sit in the garden to eat it each morning. The distance into town is an easy walk straight up one road too so easy to find, no car needed at all! If you are arriving into Sorrento on the train, from the main station, come down the steps walk straight ahead and turn right once you are on the main road, walk along here for 5 mins at the most and the hotel is on the left hand side.....don't be conned into getting a taxi, totally not worth it! Overall a great family run hotel. The first pizza place you come to on the opposite side of the road to the Girasole (it had barrels outside being used as tables) was absolutely fantastic, wish I could remember its name but it definitely deserves a mention and a recommendation!

We were in one of the garden rooms behind the pool and I would not be giving an honest review if I didn't say the rooms weren't exactly wonderful. Having said that though the hotel is clearly marked as a 3 star and I guess you get what you pay for, however we had paid €100 per night and did expect the rooms to be a little more modern....they were very tired! Our reaction once left by the maid was hysterical laughter at the comparison of this room to one we had left in Rome which was the same price...there was no comparison! However, when you are realistic about it, how much time do you really spend in your room when you are on holiday somewhere beautiful like Sorrento?! We were only there for 3 nights so did not get hung up on the quality of the room and the rest of the hotel more than made up for it. My one genuine complaint was that there was a charge of €3 if you wanted to use one of the sunbeds by the pool area. There were other seats available for free, more deckchair type seats, but you would be charged if using the sunbed. Having paid €100 a night for this hotel I would have expected the sunbeds to be free and felt this was a bit of a con to be honest.

I felt this was a real Italian hotel and as it was family run you were made feel very welcome. There was a bit of a walk into the town centre but after you had done it once or twice it was no problem. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to anyone going to Sorrento.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Pool area was really nice set amongst lemon groves. Breakfast was good, rooms large and comfortable.

It is about 15 min walk into the town centre.

Everything, hosts were fantastic , breakfast fabulous , setting great, pool a bonus after shopping, Sant Antegello great to hang out at night when not wanting to go back into Sorrento main piazza. Positano a beaut day to enjoy, On our list to come back to. We had a very enjoyable time meeting locals and experiencing a great part of Italy.

Inability of shower water to drain through the waste pipe at a reasonable rate. ( maybe an earthenware drainage pipe problem).

Staff was friendly and helpful. Clean facilities. Our room was on a back building, we had a nice big patio to relax and we did not hear any street noise. We were close to the pool, which we enjoyed on those hot days. There was plenty and a good variety of food for breakfast italian style of course (fresh juice, pastries, cheese, ham, capuchino...).

The building was kind of old, and the shower small. There was no street noise, but we had a rooster for a neighbor, not a big deal though. Best way to go places is walking, taxis are expensive. May take 20 - 25 min. To train/bus station. It took us 50 min from the port after dinner. Sidewalks are narrow to walk on the mains road if you are carrying laugage with you.

Very friendly staff

The staff at hotel Girasole are the best thing about it! They are all so lovely and helpfull! It seemed to be families working there. They couldn't do enough for you and were so chatty and kind.

It's a little bit of a walk into the centre but it sobers you up after a night out!

We Just returened from 4 nights stay in Hotel Girasole and we enjoyed it very much ! the room and pool were very nice and the staff was pleased to answer our questions any time with a big smile.

The garden was lovely and the pool was an good size

Hotel tranquillo e ambiente pulito. Avevamo un stanza al primo piano che, posta infondo ad un corridoio, quindi con poco passaggio, risultava ancora più silenziosa. Dotata del necessario, ambiente sufficientemente spazioso e con bagno sufficientemente comodo e pulito. Poi c'era anche il terrazzino che la rendeva sicuramente più piacevole. Positivo il parcheggio (direi piuttosto fondamentale per chi arriva in macchina), dal quale si poteva entrare ed uscire a qualsiasi ora del giorno e della notte (anche se probabilmente con posti limitati, noi comunque non abbiamo avuto problemi). Piscina non grandissima, ma comoda per chi non vuole andare necessariamente in spiaggia, dotata di sdraio e ombrelloni. Anche lo Staff è risultato cordiale. La colazione abbondante si può fare sia in una sala interna (spaziosa e luminosa) che nel giardino (carino, ricco di piante e fiori). Buona la posizione dell'Hotel rispetto al centro di Sorrento (a circa 10 minuti a piedi).

Di negativo non ho da riportare quasi nulla, direi solo un pò scomodo il fatto che la stanza fosse dotata di sole due prese (di cui una in bagno) e l'aria condizionata fosse probabilmente regolarizzata dall'hotel stesso (quindi senza possibilità reale di abbassarla o alzarla a seconda del proprio gradimento). Un'ultima cosa, per chi ha tanti capelli, si porti il phon da casa, quello che c'è è poca cosa.

カプリ島やアマルフィへの拠点としてソレントのHotel Girasoleに泊まりました。小さいながらもとてもフレンドリーなホテルで、4日間、とても快適に過ご- せました。

L'accueil est tout à fait charmant et on parle français. Le copieux petit déjeuner se prend au calme dans un ravissant jardin au fond duquel se trouve la piscine. Les chambres, impeccables, donnent soit sur le jardin, soit sur une citronneraie. L'hôtel est à un quart d'heure à pied du centre historique de Sorrente, et pour les paresseux, le bus passe en bas de l'hôtel ! C'est une excellente adresse d'un très bon rapport qualité/prix.
