Best Western Hotel La Solara - Sorrento

Outstanding service, great pool, satisfactory location with great shuttle service, nice room. Massimo and Nicola were fantastic.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We headed out to Sorrento to relax after a busy week with students in Rome and Florence. This place was hard to find when first coming from the train station, but once we figured out where the free shuttle picks up, it offered a nice respite. We had a HUGE room, especially by Italian standards, with 2 TVs! The staff was very friendly and competent, […] and there were nice little touches, like complimentary wine & sweets. The wifi comes and goes, but that seems to happen all over Italy. There was a very nice breakfast buffet with a view overlooking the sea. Same with the pool – and as a swimmer, I was very glad to finally stay somewhere with a pool big enough to swim laps. But it’s also nice just for lounging. Getting into town was a bit of a chore with the shuttle, but it’s nice to be up on the hill away from the hustle and bustle. If you want a relaxing retreat, this should do it. Read more

Near towns....far from the crowds. The entire staff was superb in every way. Best views are from the top floor !!!! We stayed here in early October.

This was a great hotel. The room was in excelent condition, we got a huge balcony and the pool was perfect. The only issue is maybe the location, but the free shuttle bus runs every hour between the hotel and city center. After staying in a run down hotel in amalfi, this was a nice change.

This hotel more than lived up to our expectations. We were a family of 4 -- two adults and two "tweens). We had two rooms next to each other, both with balconies facing a mountain side and with a sea view. Very quiet and pleasant. The rooms and the bathrooms were very nice and clean, and pretty everything else was perfect. The beds were very comfortable. The […] hotel staff were extremely helpful and accommodating in every way. They found outlet transformers for us and happily gave us directions and advice. I left my glasses there and they found them and mailed them to me in the U.S. They kept me constantly informed by email about it, and looked into it when the glasses had not arrived on the date expected. (They did finally arrive!). I don't know if it is allowed to name staff personally, but Antonio certainly was helpful in every way. Nice touches are the complementary bottle of red wine in the room upon arrival and chocolates by the bed at night. The restaurant is fairly good (but not top-rate) and a bit pricey. However, it is a convenient and relaxing way to eat if you don't feel like going into town after a long day of sightseeing at Pompeii. We have absolutely no complaints about this hotel, although it is important to realize it is quite far out of town and not in a neighborhood at all -- just along a coast pretty much in the middle of nowhere. They do have an hourly shuttlebus into Sorrento, however. Read more

The trip was amazing and was made better due to this hotel! We loved every bit of it and miss it so much!

Excellent hotel all round. All staff from the management down were friendly and helpful. We stayed on half board basis, the food was delicious! Lots of choice at dinner and breakfast. Would recommend this hotel to everyone, couples, families and older people.

Relaxing hotel in the hustle and bustle of Sorrento. Really friendly and experienced staff. Brilliant hotel for a family

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is brilliant. The staff are friendly, helpful and attentive. The rooms are very clean and in the evening the bed is turned down and a chocolate left which was a nice touch. The pool area is great and gets loads of sun through the day, not that we were around a lot as there are so many sites to see. The hotel has lots of excursions that can […] be booked through them, they seemed to be well priced and you would be taken and picked up from the meeting point. We did feel like we had to fend for ourselves sometimes when we arrived at the meeting points though as there are so many guides and you need to find out which one is yours!! We found the guests at the hotel were mostly older, I guess this is because the hotel is a way out of Sorrento. They have a shuttle bus running from 8am till 11pm, which is great unless you fancy staying out for a few later drinks, a taxi back is 25 Euros. It’s a 15 minute drive so the walk would take ages and the road really isn't the safest. Hope this is helpful Read more

Traditional upmarket hotel, outside of Sorrento aimed at the package tour market. Plus points - extremly well & proffesionally managed if a bit old fashioned. Minus - No local alternatives to the hotel restaraunt unless you go into Sorrento. Hotel restaraunt is good for a 3 course meal but there is no alternative selling Pizza and snacks. Food is dearer […] than in Sorrento where there is a lot of competition. Read more

The only concern I would raise about this hotel was that it was advertised as air conditioned. There was in fact air conditioning in the room but it was not switched on (Arpil) I do not know if this is a policy not to switch it on until later in the season or if it is never switched on? I did ask for a fan and was provided with an air conditioner but […] it was large and bulky and noisy so not really appropriate. There were balcony doors that could be opened though but we were on a low floor and I didn't want to leave them open all night. The hotel was very family friendly with free pool side towels & free table tennis which the boys loved. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The views from the hotel are spectacular, I would definitely recommend this hotel. Read more

This is a very comfortable hotel with friendly and helpful staff. They run a shuttle bus service into Sorrento (3km) and back. It needs it because there is nothing around the hotel at all. It's on a dangerous twisty road that you can't walk on unless you like dicing with death!. The pool didn't open till after 9 so we couldn't swim before breakfast. […] It was October but even in summer it doesn't open till 8.30 so that's a downer. Excellent restaurant - set meal or a la carte as you prefer. Couldn't use shuttle bus when we arrived as it wasn't clear where we had to pick it up. Read more

At the end of the most ridiculous drive of my life, this was a welcome respite, and was perfect for our family, including 11 and 8 year old boys. Left the rental car out front, and used hourly shuttle bus to access Sorrento for meals, sightseeing, and cruise access.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Yes, the rooms are very clean, 4 star equipped, sound-insulated, huge. Yes, the service is excellent, friendly and helpful. Yes, the inclusive breakfast is a thing of beauty, great quality, great quantities too (though dinner, snacks & drinks were very expensive). Yes, the heated swimming pool and sun terrace are a great size, with a view of the sea […] and lemon groves. Yes, we enjoyed this hotel, and the complimentary bottle of wine. But there is one big factor you must take into consideration before booking La Solara. Location, location, location. And the transport to and from the location. Don't just pick it because it's no. 1 on Tripadvisor ! There are plenty of other good hotels in Sorrento. The hotel is not in Sorrento, it's on the outskirts of a village called Massa Lubrense. There's just a hotel and a main road, you're not even in Massa Lubrense itself. If you want trips to Pompeii, Mt Vesuvius, Capri, Amalfi Drive etc, you'll be travelling from Sorrento town centre to and from the hotel a lot. There's nowhere to stroll in the evening, nowhere to explore. You're either at the hotel or on the bus in transit. If you're there in the season and like spending the day sunbathing by the pool, this isn't a problem. You MUST NOT walk to the hotel from Sorrento town centre, it is at least 2 miles up the busy, fast main road, which climbs steeply up hairpin bends with NO pavement (sidewalk) and NO streetlights for the majority of the route. Add to this the Italian driving habits, and this is a dangerous road for pedestrians. Seriously. I walk a lot in the UK, I've been stuck on mountain passes in the dark in Wales and the Lakes, but I would not consider walking on this road. Transport options to La Solara: 1. Free shuttle bus. 1 per hour. Leaves Sorrento town centre 15 mins past the hour, from the marked bus stop outside Grand Hotel Cesare Augusto (one block uphill from train & bus station then turn right, 100 metres down street.). Journey time around 20 mins. Bus from Read more

Everything about this hotel was beyond our expectations. From the initial greeting when we arrived to the moment we left, the staff were friendly, courteous and helpful in every respect. The facilities, pool area and restaurant/bar, lounge area/reception are excellent and the food was first class and very reasonably priced. We felt completely at home […] there which contributed to one of our best ever holidays. Thank you one and all, ci vediamo! Read more

Fantastic hotel with an excellent pool and great staff. A good location away from the hustle and bustle of sorrento.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We spent the entire first day of our stay in Sorrento laying around the pool enjoying the view of the ocean and the hospitality of the Best Western. All the staff genuinely seem to love their jobs and enjoy taking care of their guests. I in particular, Marcello who runs the dining room, Nicola who is the desk manager and Massimo who also works on the […] desk. And the complimentary shuttle into town was very convenient. We chose to take it instead of the rental car we hadI definitely plan to go back to this area of Italy and would recommend this hotel without hesitation. Read more

Excellent friendly service and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Food was of the very highest standard beyond what you would expect for a 4 star hotel. Rooms and Hotel kept spotlessly clean. Good sized rooms with large beds and very large wardrobe. Quiet with good views as a little way from centre of Sorrento. Hourly courtesy bus to and from […] centre of Sorrento so that being out of the centre was not too much of an inconvenience. Read more

Very nice service, and nice people. Hotel is very confortable. Shuttle Bus is convenient to access to central city of Sorrento. Restaurant is very nice taste.

sehr angenehm und erholsam, besonders gut der Shuttle-Service nach Sorrent, sehr freundliches Personal, etwas abträglich waren die kleinen Ameisen, die auch im Zimmer und zum Teilauf den Möbeln zu finden waren

Abbiamo (io e mia moglie) soggiornato in altri hotels della catena B W, ma questo ci è piaciuto in modo particolare per vari motivi. Primo : è lontano dal caos della città e dal suo smog... Secondo : il personale è gentilissimo e la navetta ad ogni ora per il centro - città una vera comodità. Terzo : il servizio è ottimo e la stanza assegnataci aveva […] anche una discreta vista sul golfo (era al secondo piano, ma sul fronte dell'hotel). La colazione però non ci è parsa all'altezza... Lo consiglierei senz'altro. Read more
