Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
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.
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!
Booked to be close to the pier in order to have easy access to different tours on boat. Recommend for that, otherwise, many other options above in the city

The hotel is amazing. It has a rooftop bar overlooking the harbor with a pool. The staff is so accommodating. The girl at the front desk called the next place we are staying and set everything up for us. The room was clean and they let us stay at the rooftop bar after check out. I would definitely go here again!
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.
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.
Great location rooftop bar area fantastic service and view.
Hotel restaurant 5 star.
Remember to take bus 1.50 up hill to main square do not walk. The lift is at the end of seawall to the left about 1 block. Also all the ferries are right there for easy island access.

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 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.
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 stayed here with our two teenage daughters and we all loved this hotel, especially the location. It was perfect! It's a quick walk up the stairs straight into town, or there is a lift. We were Monte's from the marina where we caught our boat for our excursion. Highly recommend!
