This hotel offered far more than we expected. Excellent breakfast, great swimming pool area, great lounge area. Fantastic views from so many different look out points. Short walk into Sorrento town. We were unfortunately given a room without sea view. Value for money was good. We would definitely stay here again without hesitation.

generally nice hotel. friends in our group with children experienced numerous problems, i.e 17 euro per night charge for a cot, 3 euro charge per day charge for using room fridge for own items i.e baby milk. Although our room (206) was a reasonable size (DB CLASSIC), others had rooms that you couldn't even get the case around the edge of the bed, with damp and views of concrete walls from small balcony. Sunbeds 5euros per day. restaurant and bar staff excellent, can't do enough and good with children, reception bit frosty at times. Food good quality and varied large menu in the hotel restaurant. amazing view of vesuvius from pool, generally great views from all hotel public areas.

This was our first time at Sorrento and we just loved it. The hotel was fabulous! We had such a lovely room overlooking the sea.

The Grand Capodimonte is a large, impersonal hotel which clearly caters mainly for tourists on package holidays. The staff tried to appear helpful and friendly on the surface but in fact never really provided any assistance when needed. For exaple, we requested and paid for a sea view room and were dissatisfied when we saw that our sea view was partly obscured by the roof and fire escape in front of us (not what you expect at 265 euros per night!). Staff did nothing to try and resolve or compensate us for this. On the plus side, the Capodimonte was very well located (less than 5 min walk into town) and the swimming pools and sun terraces were excellent (tiered so you could escape the noisy children in the bottom pool).

Have stayed many times over the last 10 years and am never disappointed with this Hotel and the staff. Room given had a balcony and sea view which was great. Will stay again and again and again.

Excellent hotel. Marvellous location and breathtaking views over the bay. Highly recommended. Only drawback was the noise in the rooms - they are all tiled so if you have someone above you who is inconsiderate and indulges in late night furniture scraping contests it can get a little annoying!

Overall, we loved the hotel. It is gorgeous, reasonably priced and has views to die for. However, there were a couple of issues. First, we came to Sorrento by train. The site lists the hotel as being approximately 200 meters from the train station. It is actually 2 kilometers (over a mile). We were carrying our luggage looking for it and my sister had a low blood sugar episode. The hotel staff were sympathetic, but didn't really offer to help any more than calling a cab. The second issue is that my sister's room the first night, and our room the second night (we wanted to stay an extra night and had to wait for a cancellation) were musty. My allergies flared up and I got very little sleep that night. Overall, we were very happy. Nice breakfast and unbeatable views. Try to get a room on a higher floor (>5th) and with a view if you can. Gorgeous views!

on the web the pictuers of classis room indicates that it has a sea view - from the windows you can see the bay. the room was not with swa view and we were dissapointed from that.the room is not sound proof and you can hear almost anything in the hallway. the other featuers were good - breakfast etc.

I went away with my boyfriend for a romantic break and we spent 5 days in the Capodimonte and had a wonderful time. The staff were always very friendly and helpful and the cleaning ladies sang whilst they worked which always made us smile! The rooms were great apart from the fact that our double room was in fact two twin beds pushed together that were different heights - not ideal. When we asked to change rooms to one with a double bed they said all beds were single beds. The breakfasts were superb and you could never tire of the view - just incredible. We went for dinner one evening and it was lovely but there isn't much choice for vegetarians. Overall i'd say it's a perfect base in Sorrento. It's a 10 minute leisurley stroll to Piazza Tasso and 15 mins to the harbour to Capri and Naples. The hotel is beautiful and very romantic. I think it would be hard to find somewhere better,
