"Unexpected quality for price and location"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
The hotel's own website seems to understate its excellent location, as it has an opening into the main street of Sorrento just a short walk from the main square. It is within walking distance of the scenic old mill, the train station, the marina (with its outstanding seafood restaurants) and its stunning views of the bay of Naples and the hillside villas and hotels of Sorrento. The staff was very accommodating to our special needs, allowing us to leave our luggage and to use its restroom facilities even after we had checked out. Also, the price of the rooms was reasonable. Our party did not take the advice of the female night clerk who recommended that we eat at the restaurant next door; instead, we ate at Ristorante Delfino at the marina (which I also highly recommend).

"Near train Station and Walking distance to Sights"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 4, 2012
Very happy with Hotel Sorrento City. Staff spoke excellent English and were extremely helpful. Room was very comfortable with the only drawback being the TV in the room had only one Engligh speaking channel (MTV...ugh). Excellent location and easy to find right on the main street near the train station. Very good breakfast and free Wi-Fi included which worked very well in the room. Highly recommend Hotel Sorrento City.
"Should be a six star close to Air Port"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 3, 2012
We were going back to Charlotte NC. From the moment tbat we steped into the lobby area, We were greeted, taken care of. The hotel management to the person that carried our baggage to our room I felt that I was coming back to friends. I will stay at this hotel when ever I am in Naples. It was an outstanding short stay. What a palace.

"Good access to Capri by Bus"
Very good hotel. Conveniently located near a major bus stop that connects to anywhere in Capri. But still in a very quiet location. On the downside, shower drain was very slow, and there were some small bugs iun the room in the morning
"Hidden Gem"
Whe we first arrived in Capri at the Marina I was a little speptical about the island and it's throngs of tourists. We boarded a cab and headed to Anacapri to our hotel. The cab driver then dropped us off on the street and told us the hotel was up the narrow passage. Cars cannot enter into the some of the surrounding streets on the island. We walked […] up to the hotel about one block and found a hidden gem on the island. The hotel is clean with sweeping views of the sea from every inch of the property. The room was small with a good shower and bath area. The breakfast was sufficient and the staff very helpful. The surrounding neighborhood is vibrant and the hotel is a transformed villa. There are family villas surrounding the propoerty. The piazza in Anacapri at night is full of activity and far away from the tourists. If you want a place that is a little off the beaten path and want to see Capri as a local, then this hotel is a great choice. It also has a bus stop right at the end of the street for easy access to transportation all over the island. Ask Mimo or Sandra for restaurant recommendations. There are delicious family owned trattorias all over Anacapri. A delightful place where I would return again and again. Read more
"Peaceful Hotel in Anacapri"
An adorable small hotel on the more peaceful, quiet and rural side of the island. A great location both in terms of buses to Capri, Faro, Blue Grotto, and Anacapri, and in terms of the situation of natural beauty surrounding the hotel. Small and family owned, has limited amenities but great quality and comfort.
"Great Hotel"
Great hotel and staff. The staff was very helpful with booking dinner reservations and helping you navigate the island. The center of Anacapri is only a 10 minute walk from the hotel. Great views from the pool and outside the rooms. Make sure you take the bus to Farro beach. That was a personal favorite on the island.
"Great Stay At Hotel Il Girasole!!"
We were not sure what to expect when arriving at Hotel Girasole, but any concerns faded after a friendly welcome and we were escorted to our room. Girasole is located high above Anacapri, is very private and featured great views from just about everywhere. The hotel is is comprised of a series of rooms, each with direct access to large decks overlooking […] the sea. The setting is scenic, quiet and peaceful.The patio outside our rooms (we traveled with another couple) was quite large, comfortable and a great place to enjoy cocktails at sunset. The rooms are immaculate and nicely furnished. The fact we did not rent a car was no problem. The hotel sent a driver to pick us up and drop us off at the port. We could walk to town or catch a nearby bus. Our stay at Hotel Girasole was the perfect end to a two week trip to Greece and Italy. If you are contemplating a trip to Capri, we would highly recommend staying here. Read more
"GREAT place to stay at"
This hotel was a GREAT place to stay at. It's in anacapri instead of capri, but the bus station is right at the end of the road and you can take it anywhere. The hotel staff was VERY nice and helped us with anything we needed help with. The pool was lovely and was refreshing. The hotel is more or less secluded from other things, but we didn't mind the […] walk. Beautiful views from the hotel. Read more
"The Best Place on Earth"
While it was a bit of a trek to get to Hotel Girasole, it's definitely worth it. Away from the hot crowds, the rooms are very comfortable, the pool and deck is wonderful and the staff are pleasant and helpful. Arriving at the Marina Grande is a bit overwhelming - it's hot and crowded, and negotiating the way around with a case is challenging. If staying […] at the Hotel, have their number handy and call for transport. Save the terrifying trip in the local bus for another day, and look foreward to hurtling around hairpin bends overlooking sheer drops in the orange demons. I have a new respect for bus drivers, once I could think again. Hotel Girasole - fantastic. A bit out of the way but worth it. Read more
"Wonderful View and Patios"
(We took a hydrofoil from Napoli to Capri)The hotel was great for relaxing. Beautiful surroundings and views. The room left us wanting more. The shower was creepy; the shower curtain would cling to your body as you showered, mostly because it was a small space. Breakfast was continental by US standards. You also need to leave your key if you go out […] for the day. Getting to the hotel was not as complicated as we expected. We spotted a shuttle in Capri so we avoided having to take the bus and taxi to AnaCapri. Just beware they charge you at checkout for this service in case you plan on giving a heafty tip to the driver. Reasonably priced, about 7 euros. If you wander to the lighthouse bring mosquito repellent or you'll be insect food and end up spotted and itchy for days to come. There are a couple restaurants and beautiful, scenic shots of rocks in the water by the lighthouse and the sunset is not to be missed. Read more
"We'd Stay Again! Great Hotel!"
If you are sick of tourists and want to get away then this is the hotel for you! It's a great little hotel with a spectacular view of the water. You can't beat it for the price. It was the cheapest on hotels.com but what a bargain. It has a great pool, it very quite and has a breathtaking view! When you get to marina in Capri, take the bus to Anacapri […] and then take a taxi to the hotel. It's a little walk up hill with your luggage. Afterwards there is a bus for 1 euro that will take you all over town. Everything is in walking distance. Read more
Room was small,dark and a little dirty. Seems as though they have a couple of nice rooms as pictured on their page and the others don't measure up. Glad we only spent one night.
"Il Girasole is a great base for Capri & beyond"
The bedrooms of this hotel are in a bungalow style stretched along a west facing walkway. There are patio areas with lots of seats to sit and enjoy the sea views. The staff are all very welcoming and helpful. You can arrange to be picked up from the harbour which makes finding the hotel easy, thought there are also signs from the last bus stop in Anacapri. […] Anacapri is a more peaceful than Capri though easily (and cheaply) reached bus the regular bus service. There is plenty of choice to eat in Anacapri within a short walk. Il Girasole would be an ideal base for visits to Naples and Pompeii, being a beautiful and peaceful resting place after a day of sight seeing. Read more
"Vale a pena"
Este hotel possui um custo beneficio bem satisfatório, o atendimento excelente, vale a pena usufruir.
"Le Girasole, Capri début oct 11"
Avant de partir j'avais lu du bon et du moins bon sur cet hôtel, pour ma part, j'ai eu du bon !! Comme indiqué dans le descriptif il y a une navette gratuite, il faut appeler une fois sur le bateau, on est venu nous chercher à l'embarcadère (il faut arriver avant 17h). Cela permet pendant le voyage et grâce aux explications du chauffeur de s'orienter […] un peu. Situation ok : Du terminus du bus à Anacapri,il est très facile de rejoindre l'hôtel (environ 150m en suivant une ruelle qui part au dessus du terminus). On est assez proche du centre historique d'Anacapri (300m) et des bus pour Capri, le port et le phare (150m). La vue sur la mer est superbe depuis les chambres de devant (vu sur l'île d'Ischia). Accueil : le personnel est sympathique La chambre : était grande, très décorée, lit spacieux, un peu d'humidité sur le mur du fond (car le fond est en sous sol) mais cela ne nous a pas gêné. La SdB aussi était grande et sentait un peu l'humide, en laissant ouverte la fenêtre cela n'a pas été gênant pour nous. Je recommande l'apéro (du Proseco pour les connaisseurs) sur la terrasse en regardant le soleil disparaître derrière la mer. avis : nous sommes revenus enchantés du séjour (2 nuits), Pour nous, le Girasole a été un très bon rapport qualité prix (mais les prix fluctuent donc certains peuvent être d'un avis différent .....) ps: comme plusieurs personnes avaient signalé un défaut de la qualité de l'eau de la piscine, je suis allé voir l'eau, elle était limpide (c'était début oct).

"Vista a ropa de cama y toallas del hotel"
Este hotel es lo peor, la atencion es pesima, queda alejado de todo y para llegar al hotel despues de cenar, habia que caminar bastante por una calle larga y oscura, la vista al mar, no era tal, porque ahi ponian a secar al sol las toallas y sabanas del hotel, NO TIENE 3 ESTRELLAS, NI 1 SOLA. Las habiataciones eran horribles, unos amigos que se quedaron […] en este hotel se fueron antes de tiempo, aunque lo tenian pagado, por suerte nosotros solo teniamos una noche Read more
"Fantastisk utsikt över havet och solnedgång"
Ett trevligt familjehotell med bra service och fantastisk utsikt över havet. Alla rum har dessutom en egen liten uteplats vilket var mysigt. Rummen verkade variera en del i storlek och vi fick ett stort rum men en pyttelitet badrum. Helt ok förutom att det var iskallt i badrummet. Hotellet ligger också nära en busshållplats vilket var mycket smidigt. […] Dessutom står hotellet till tjänst med transfer till och från hamnen. Read more

"Il Girasole - Anacapri"
Very charming hotel, room quality is nothing in particular but the general atmosphere is very good and tranquil. Hotel has adequate facilities, a nice outdoor relaxing area, pool area with a wonderful view over the sea towards mainland (Naples) and extremely nice personell. Located in friendly neighbourhood out of town but with short walking distance […] from Anacapri shops and restaurants and from the bus stop (dest. Capri). not nearly as luxurious as other hotels on the island seem to be, but ok for the price. Read more
"Freundlicher Empfang / unzumutbare Zimmer"
Das Hotel Girasole in Anacapri hat einen schönen Blick auf den Sonnenuntergang ("wenn bei Capri die rote Sonne..."), leider aber auch auf den hoteleigenen Schuttplatz, von dem es nicht sehr angenehm nach Müll roch. Das Zimmer war recht muffig, die Bettwäsche klamm, das Bad bedarf dringend einer Renovierung. Aus der "Dusche" kam nur ein unkontrollierbares […] Rinnsal. Die Matratzen sind - wie wohl überall in Italien - ziemlich hart. Am schlimmsten aber war die Hellhörigkeit: die Aktivitäten aus dem Nebenzimmer waren bis ins kleinste Detail zu vernehmen... Dies alles zu sagen bedaure ich umsomehr, als die Inhaber bzw. Angestellten wahnsinnig freundlich und hilfsbereit waren und blieben - trotz unseres Wunsches, das Hotel nach einer Nacht (statt nach einer Woche) wieder zu verlassen. Ich hoffe, dass es ihnen gelingt, die baulichen Mängel irgendwie in den Griff zu kriegen und das Hotel dem hohen Niveau ihrer eigenen Gastfreundlichkeit anzupassen! Read more
