Grand Hotel Parco del Sole - Sorrento

First of all, don't follow the GPS for this address. The entrance is right off the main street, but the address isn't. We didn't know that and spent a while figuring that out. The location is great and free breakfast and free parking almost made the stay worth it from the start. Be warned however that the beds are very European... meaning stiff. Still, […] overall... very pleased. Read more

We found a great rate for Parco del Sole through hotels.com but when we arrived, the receptionist told us he wouldnt let the room go for that cheap, it must have been a mistake. Being out of the country, we couldn't easily call hotels.com to see what happened, I only had the confirmation email. I had to text a friend back home to contact this site and […] they called the hotel manager to straighten things out. Additionally, other staff at the pool bar basically ignored me, even when I went up to get a towel or drinks they would assist other customers behind me first. Maybe it's because I am in my twenties, everyone else at the hotel was older. The rest of the hotel was great though, very clean and a nice pool. Read more

Hotel was ok. 15 minute walk to downtown Sorrento. Reasonable price. Room was clean. Shower head in the middle of the tub caused water to go everywhere since there was no shower curtain and only had a small glass door. Very few English channels on TV. Breakfast had good selection. Internet was free in the lobby area. Pool closes at 7pm which is very […] early and should be open later for when you get back from downtown. Free parking. Read more

We were disappointed by this hotel becasue of its location to the main tourist attractions. The site misleads you to believe it's in Sorrento but its actualy in a community on the outscurts of town. As a result, the shuttle which came too infrequently and at inconvenient times, was useless to us. The cab fair with a menial tip, was always 20 Euros for […] the short distance. The hotel has a very dated Cuban feel to it and was the only hotel we experienced during our trip to have carpeting. This made the musty smell more noticeable. Hallways were narrow and twisting making it difficult to get our luggage to our rooms. We booked two rooms and ended up on opposite sides of the hotel which made our single party feel isolated. Overall, the hotel was just "okay". Read more

Good location. Very close to curare bus line and train. It is still about 3 block worth of walk. It could be hard with a heavy luggage. Poo quality of ac in the room. It is hard to feel comfortable on ho days. It is otherwise good Value for money.

Awesome pool and really nice bathroom. Well located right down the street from Sorrento. The area itself is a little limited in restaurants and bars but Sorrento is easy to get to.

A super hotel with friendly staff such as Valentina and a great breakfast, its located just outside of Sorrento and with the shuttle service to the town square directed by friendly bus driver Pino made our stay very pleasant. Our room had a balcony in which we had a great view.

This was my third visit to this hotel in the last six months and all I can give are compliments - no complaints. I hope to return early next year.

We stayed here for one night after a wedding because we'd stayed 2 nights at Cocumella and needed a cheap alternative! The staff were great, pool was fantastic and room was large and clean. Nothing too fancy but just what we needed! Carpet in hallway was all rucked up on first floor on way to room and hallways could have done with a spruce up!

We (myself, sister and mum) stayed at Grand Hotel Parco del Sole as a base with a pool while exploring Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast, and it didn't disappoint - in particular, the pool is fantastic, with plenty of loungers and towels, and random sharing of ice cold watermelon... the hotel is a 20 minute walk from Sorrento but there's also a regular […] (if not greatly frequent - on the hour roughly) bus service, but it is also located very close to sant'agnello train station, which provides a service to pompeii, naples, into sorrento etc, so I wouldn't worry about the distance out of the city! The staff are very polite and helpful, especially the waiters at the buffet breakfast. Our only gripe was a slightly odd smell in our room, which didn't go away even when well ventilated, but we hardly spent any time in there anyway...in summary, the friendliness of the staff and quality of the poolside area mean I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel, and would also recommend Sorrento as a fine place to base yourself for exploring the wider region.

Disappointed!,,,,,arrogant and very rude staff, no pool towels, and once you go past the beautiful gardens it stops there! Very far from 4 stars.....!

We have stayed at the hotel several times, we find it to be a friendly hotel with helpful staff and will answer any questions asked. The pool area is recentely re-furbished and is a relaxing place to spend time. The bar staff are friendly , helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. This would also apply to the night porter, and the other staff, […] who speak good English as well as other laungauges. The decor of the hotel is of a tradtional style, it has alot of rooms but you are unaware of the amount of people staying there.Sorrento town center is about a 25 minute walk, but the hotel does provide a bus shuttle service. The station for the local tube like train is a 10 minute walk, this is in Sant Ag'nello, this train will go to Pompai and Naples. From this area you can access trips to Capri and the Amalfi coast. There are some bars, shops and resturants a short distance away, and within a 5 minute walk from the hotel you can visit The Tourist Bar, which is a family run cafe/bar which serves a range of food and drinks. This is a good hotel to base yourself to visit the many sights to see in this area, with a relaxing re-treat to return each night. Read more

We spent 3 nights at the hotel. It is a convenient hotel. Nice, clean and quite. The pool was great. Two minor issues: The room was a bit small for all of us (2 adults, 2 kids and a baby) and the frequency of shuttles to nearby Sorrento is very low. It is possible to walk to Sorrento if the weather permits (about 15m walk). Overall, a great experie […] nce. Read more

Overall I had a nice stay but in the entire 6 nights, our bedding wasn't changed at all. The air conditioning was noisy, so overnight there were 2 options - swelter in the heat or put up with the noise. The food was terrible and the staff seemed personally offended when we had tried the stale, murky coffee they'd brought us and asked for tea instead. I […] left my car keys at reception desk at check in, and 2 days into our holiday when we needed the car, the concierge denied he had the keys to my car. It took 2 mornings and 2 visits to reception desk for someone else to interrupt - and find them! They ended up being misplaced in another room's cubby hole. I understand mistakes happen and don't mind that they were misplaced, however his attitude that I "definitely did not leave them with him" and his arrogance and complete refusal to help me, or even LOOK, does bother me. On the positive note, the hotel was clean, the poolside was lovely, the location was good and it was a quiet, relaxing place to stay in. It was a charming old hotel with almost retro decor that has been well maintained, the other holiday goers were really happy and friendly and the hotel was also very affordable. Overall I did enjoy my stay, but the little things I've mentioned above means I won't be recommending this hotel. Read more

We stopped at Grand Hotel Parco del Sole as a break while driving from Rome to Sicily, we found an extremely comfortable & relaxing hotel with lovely pool area & stunning back drop. Free coach transfer is provided by the Hotel to & from Sorento's beautiful town center. A perfect base from which to discover the Amalfi Coast.

Extremely clean all respects. Room very good size, lovely terrace. Food excellent. Location convenient for various excursions.

Most friendly hotel I have ever stayed in, staff wonderful nothing was too much trouble. Although we were bed & breakfast we ate in the restuarant one evenig and by the pool bar both very good value for money. The hotel has a lived in feel but is very clean and has a certain charm about it. Even though the location is a little way out from Sorrento […] it is still one that I would be happy to reccomend. Station is just a 5 min walk away and there is a shuttle bus from the hotel. There is a great wine bar in the centre of town near the church sorry can't think of the name, if you are eating out then sorrento is best place. Dont miss going over to Capri. Enjoy Read more

Initial impressions were good, nice entrance and drive with fountain (only saw it working once all week). We were given a room overlooking a bar, the road and petrol stations, then had to wait until the next morning to change rooms after a noisy and poor nights sleep. They claim this room was "sort after" they were welcome to it.........we were then […] given a room overlooking the pool which was quieter. Generally the hotel is tired and probably not suited to younger people or just don't expect mod cons. No papers etc, room tv reception terrible, we didn't use the facilities, oh yes there were none, the pool was clean but again tired looking. Breakfast was ok but got boring after a few days. We did not eat at the hotel, there are some good places within a stroll and reasonable too, pizza shop on main road behind Tonys bar and the jolly blu bar. A good 20 mins walk from sorrento but there was a courtesy bus that ran at various times. Heard that there is to be a makeover coming up but at this cost you could do better. Read more

Hotel is thoroughly average. Not your usual 4* Hotel. Breakfast is a strange affair, not much to fill you up. Some mornings we debated skipping it altogether. The pool area is nice however the water was very very cold, at times too cold to stay in there for more than 30 seconds. The staff however were all very helpful and friendly. Sant'agnello is extremely […] busy, with the hotel being situated just off the main access route to Sorrento. A dangerous 15 minute walk will get you to Sorrento if you want to risk your life. The shuttle bus provided by the hotel runs at irregular times and is very very busy on its return from Sorrento. We often walked to Sant'agnello train station to get to and from Sorrento. The hotel is an ideal base to explore Pompei, Capri and Vesuvius. Again easy access via the 'Circumvesuviana' trains that run frequently. Sorrento is very very very busy, it's not for people looking to have a relaxing hoilday. It felt more like a city break. We will not be returning to this part of Italy. Read more

Hotel is set back from the main road, so it's relativley quiet. Beautiful Pool area with deep water (not heated!) and nice bar and food area. Bar food was cheaply priced and prices clearly displayed for food, but not so for beer. Our Room was a dissapointment, no balcony, tiny TV (with only 1 English TV Channel), and the style of the room was quite […] old, we also had ants in the bathroom!. And worse of all they had no iron or ironing board, which I find unbelievable for a 4 star hotel, but this seems to be the norm for Italian hotels. The complex was nice and reasonably priced, situated close to the local train station, handy for direct access to Pompeii & Naples and only 1 train stop from Sorrento. Overall I would consider staying in the hotel again, if we got a better quality room. Read more

I stayed at this hotel in 2009, and really enjoyed my stay so I decided to return in July 2010. The experience did not disappoint me. I booked on expedia and asked the hotel direct how much it would cost for me to upgrade my room. They did that for free, so I had a lovely room with a balcony. I ate dinnner in the restaurant which was excellent, and […] good value. I will visit again in 2011. Read more

All hotel staff particularly at reception were extremely helpful. Hotel is well placed in St Agnello, room was spacious for the three of us with no noise from outside. Pool was clean with lovely bar area and good food at a reasonable price. Breakfast was very good continental style with excellent staff. St Agnello has many good restaurants within 15-20 […] mins walk, Peppino's being extremely good. Coppano, Moonlight and Caio Toto also good. Bars at the square friendly, The Terrrace Restaurant and Bar good for a drink with clifftop view of Sorrento. 10 mins walk to Circumvesuviana to get trains to Ercolano, Pompeii and Naples at good prices with frequent service. Positano well worth a visit, used local bus but had no aircon so was very hot. Hotel provides free shuttle bus to Sorrento each morning and evening, it takes 20-30 minutes to walk at a leisurely pace, roads can be busy taxi's are expensive 15 euro from town to the hotel. Train to Sorrento every 30 mins for 1 euro 10 cents. Overall a great holiday Sorrento is lovely and St Agnello is fine for a drink and good for food if you walk about a bit. I would not visit Naples again a bit too gritty!! I booked this hotel myself, not as a package for three of us and would definately use this hotel again. Only minor complaint was occasional lack of good cold water pressure in room 39. Read more

The hotel was nice, but the rooms were outdated. There was a smell in the room coming from the carpet. Balcony was not nice - I would not have spent any time there even though there was a a table and chairs. The room was quite spacy and the bathroom was ok. Most of the staff were not too friendly, though some of them very nice and polite. Breakfast […] was ok, but it was just as good as in the 3-star hotel we stayed in Rome. The pool was nice and there were enough sun chairs for every one. Pool bar was ok, the lunch snacks were good and relatively cheap as well. All in all, it tries to be a 4-star hotel but it isn't. It is just fine, but you would expect more. Read more

Har bodd på dette hotellet to ganger og har vært fornøyd. Det er litt slitt, men ikke slik at det er plagsomt. Det er fine rom, bra frokost og helt grei middag.

Hotellet ligger litt utenfor sentrum, men man går til […] sentrum på 15 minutter med hjertet i halsen....trafikken i dette området er over gjennomsnitt skummel.

Nous avons séjourné à 4 (2 adultes et 2 enfants) dans une chambre familiale. La chambre était très spacieuse et très confortable, avec un petit balconnet avec table et chaises de jardin. La déco ancienne était pleine de charme. L'hôtel est bien situé, d'autant plus qu'il propose une navette gratuite à différents horaires de la journée pour aller à Sorrento. La […] piscine est très agréable, quoique fermant un peu tôt (19h). Le personnel est très gentil. A noter tout de même quelques critiques: concernant la chambre, la douche était fixée au mur au dessus de la baignoire, sans possibilité de la décrocher et il n'y avait pas de rideau de douche!!! et en plus, elle fuyait de tous les côtés! donc inutilisable sans inonder la salle de bain. La chambre était un peu sombre. Pour le petit déjeuner, il n'y a pas de jus de fruit frais (alors que nous sommes tout de même entourés d'orangers!!!) et les jus de fruits des distributeurs sont infects!!! on n'a pas su les boire et nous n'étions pas les seuls, les serveurs repartaient souvent avec des verres non vidés. Les fruits frais n'étaient jamais mûrs. Par contre, au niveau viennoiseries, il y avait du choix. Read more
