Bed and Breakfast Casa Sorrentina - Sorrento

6.4

Sonia, the Manager, was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was in a good central location, close to the train station. However, the shower was absolutely hopeless, it was far too small,actually tiny! The shower head fell off and the side panel of the shower-screen was broken. We had difficulty with the room key fitting the locks but Sonia arranged for a locksmith to fix the problem. It was good to have a view on to the street, as requested, except the balcony was really just a window. It was noisy but we had been warned, and expected, that. Breakfast was very basic and pre-packaged.

Excellent B&B in the center of the town, 10 min. by walking from the train station. But no internet services.

This place is terrific!!! don't think twice about staying here - it's great in everyway.

Casa Sorrentina is absolutely beautiful and Sonia (owner of B&B)is brilliant. We travelled to various places on the Amalfi coast and Sorrento stands out as one of my favourites simply because of this B&B. Sonia recommended the best restaurants which didn't necessarily mean the most expensive, her rooms are big, superbly located by all the buzziness of town, and the room was lovely and clean. My boyfriend and I have recommended this place to all of our friends.

Great location but noisy at night. Located over wonder gelati shop and walking street at night. Laundry in room.

This was a very clean B&B located on the main street of Sorrento. Very close to the town square and train station - which means close to the Circumvesuviana line that takes you to Naples & Pompeii. Bus stops to other Amalfi Coast towns are also located next to the train station. Shuttle buses to the port of Sorrento (with boats to Amalfi Coast areas & Capri) are located in the town square. We were the only people staying in the 6 room B&B so we had tons of privacy. We also had our own keys to come and go as we pleased. The woman that runs the B&B was very sweet - but she was not really around during our stay (she did not sleep at the B&B). We had no hot water upon arrival and therefore had no way to contact her regarding the problem. She showed up the next day and she said she'd fix it, but we never actually got hot water - and never saw her again. The room was large and had a kitchenette so we could make tea and coffee and store food in the fridge. The bathroom was big - but the shower was really small (we had to keep the doors open to make room to raise our arms.) Overall, if you want a cheap, clean place in a great location - and want to be completely left alone and self-sufficient - stay here. If you'd rather have someone who will cater to you, or will be able to help you find locations or things to do, this might not be the best place for you.

Really lovely big apartment. Spotlessly clean, right in the centre of town. The host is extremely helpful, and everything we needed for breakfast was already in the apartment for us. Highly recommended, EXCEPT, it's on the main pedestrian street so is quite noisy with people outside your window. It does get quiet around 12-1 am, but if you're want an early night it might be a problem.

Located on the main street, right in the heart of the action. Great location but can be a little noisy as room looks over main strees. Very clean, good facilities, can cook meals. Breakfast not a lot on offer and only instant coffee. Owner very friendly and helpful.

We did not arrive into Sorrento until 12.00 a.m. where we were met by Sonia who showed us where Casa Sorrentina was. She was very welcoming. The apartment was very clean and spacious with the ideal location being right in the centre of the main square, Piazza Taso, right above the ice cream shop!!! We did not have to worry about buses or taxis as we were close to all bars, restaurants and shops. We would strongly recommend staying here as the price we paid was value for money. The only thing the apartment lacks is a large shower as it was very cramped. In summary, a perfect place to stay with beautiful scenery. What a perfect holiday!!!!

We were in Sorrento for 3 days, 2 of which included an overnight stay at Casa Sorrentina. This B & B is on a very busy street that is in the middle of the shopping action. However, it was not easy to take luggage to the B & B from the train station. The side streets are cobblestone (not easy for rolling luggage) and the main street was one way and very crowded with people from about 10:00 AM to after midnight. There was no luggage storage available on first level, no assistance up the staircase, so the walk up to the lst floor was difficult on a staircase that turned and had no handrail. Also, the shower was nearly unusable as it was so small; we measured the door opening and it was 12.5 inches---very small by USA standards!

We were for on vacation for 4 days. Casa Sorrentina is beautifully located on the Corso Italia, close to everything and easy to get to from the rail station. Travellers shoul be aware, though, that high street locations can be extraordinarily loud in the evenings and into the small hours when everyone's out on the street even after the shops are closed. That was where we wanted to stay, though, so we were okay with it. Also, the B&B is not staffed 24-hours a day but if you need anything, a phone call or note left on the door will solve it. Having a kitchenette was convenient even though there was a bit of an ant problem. Breakfast is provided via the food left in the stocked kitchen. It gets refilled every day. Great service, great welcome and location and we feel we got a good value.

8.6

Owner very friendly and helpful on travel information. Room was spacious with a fully equipped kitchenette. Located on the main street of the town, about 7 min walk from train station. Overall very nice stay. The only backdraw is that hot water was not enough for all guests to take shower at once.

9.9

Excellent location, a little noisy at night, but nevertheless, very good. The hostess was very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and very comfortable. the only minus is that if you want a hot shower, You'd better be fast. On the plus side, having a kitchen is ideal to try out some Italian recipes (there is a very well supplied supermarket near of the B&B)

9.9

Casa Sorrentina is in a great location. The owner is very friendly and speaks english well. The room was very clean and the kitchen had all we needed (coffee maker, pots & pans, etc). I would recommend this place to everyone except those who cannot climb stairs since there is no elevator.

Super location on the corsa italia, close to restaurants, bars & shopping. Clean and spacious apartment style accomodation. Would highly recommend.

7.9

Ideal location and good value for money. Very neat and quiet, our room did not have an outside view. Arrival can be problematic if youhave heavy luggage as the access to the area are limited to pedestrians only during certain times of the day

8.9

Centre of Sorrento - an excellent spot for restaurants and sightseeing. Made to feel very welcome by the hostess. Very comfortable apartment with stylish decor and fittings. Overlooks the main street which is closed to traffic in the evenings. Limited breakfast provided but quite adequate.

8.9

Casa Sorrentina is located in the heart of Sorrento and easily accessible to shops and beach. The small kitchenette is great for making your own meals which comes in handy when purchasing fresh vegetables at the corner markets.

9.5

Nicely welcoming by Mrs. Sonia. Nice flat just a little noisy saturday night because of the pedestrian precinct

7.3

Since we committed the european travel sin of arriving a few minutes late at Casa the first day, we were left with a phone number in order to contact the owner so we could get into our room(after a rather lengthy search before we located the hotel.) I wound up standing at a public "phone" in the poring rain vainly trying to use the Italian phone system (which I subsequently never learned how to do after a month in Italy). Eventually the owner arrived though and the rest of our stay in Sorrento went smoothly. By the way take a SITA bus along Amalfi coast--don't drive it! Also, be sure to visit Capri!

8.5

Very good location. Very clean and spacious room. Unfortunately toilet was a bit slow, had to leave space between people in our group using it so that it would flush. It is not clear in the description (but it is from others' comments) that breakfast is very basic. Cereals are left for you to prepare your own.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Sorrentina. It did get off to a rocky start when we arrived and no one was there to meet us (there is no reception for this hotel.) After I called Sonia, she was very quick to arrive, and very apologetic for making the mistake. Our room was not clean however, so we had to wait about an hour before we could really check in. But besides that, our stay was fantastic. The size of the room was incredible. We had a kitchen which was a welcome change after nearly 3 weeks in hotels. We were more inclined to stay in room the 3 days we were there, than see the sights. The location is perfect, on Sorrento's main drag. The price was a little steep for us, but considering the money we saved on food, it was worth it. I recommend Casa Sorrentina.

9.9

We arrived to a warm welcome from the owner and were very impressed with the room, bathroom and kitchen. It was very central and excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

8.3

The apartment was well equipped, spotlessly clean and the staff most welcoming and helpful. The only disappointing feature was the lack of any view to the outside; the French windows opened onto a ventilation shaft! Admittedly, other rooms looked out over the main street, which remained noisy well into the night. (The only disturbance in our room was from the kitchen of the small hotel on the floor above). We suggest this feature be pointed out to future customers, who may or may not think it important. Otherwise, an excellent choice.
