Good:) Location: ten minutes pretty walk along a coastal sidewalk away from town. Good view of cliffs, nature from outdoor patio / terrace. Staff: superbly friendly & enthusiastic (even with advice for further traveling away from Sorrento - they provided us with maps for Naples). Knowledgeable about local sights, activities, etc Breakfast: humble & friendly breakfast room with staff visibly... More

We stayed at this hotel for only one night, bur arrived earlier so we got a good perspective from the hotel complex and surroundings. The hotel is situated just outside from the city center (about 10 minutes walk to the main square) in a lovely Mediterranean cliff with the pine trees, and luxurious nature, even with a private beach reachable...

Located on the cliffs above Sorrento, hotel Desiree has it's own private beach with an elevator to get to from the top. Out of the way but close enough to the city in quiet and peaceful area. The rooms are large enough but very basic. Simple furnishings, quite spartan. Beds are little rough and linen worn out. Breakfast, plain. Great... More

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights in September 2012. Upon entering our room we were a bit taken aback. It was quite outdated with somewhat tattered linens on the bed and a very outdated bathroom. However, it was extremely inexpensive and to an extent you get what you pay for. We simply were on a budget and... More

This is a two star hotel with bad furniture and beds, but their cheerful and very helpful hotel staff and location right outside the city, coupled with fantastic views of the sea from their property, make this is good choice. I really wish they would refurbish, get better beds, TVs (the screen is literally a 13 inch square) and lighting,... More

The hotel was clean and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Our room had a balcony overlooking the bay to our right and a natural "canyon" to the front. There is a little waterfall that runs through the canyon and you can hear the soothing sound of the water running down to the beach. This helped us both to... More

Three things we loved most: friendly staff - Antonio is the most helpful and cheerful staff that can answer any question; private beach - we had a great time at, laundry service - for only 8 Euro they wash, dry, pack and return the clothes in less than 8 hours. The Capri tour they carried was also of good value,... More

We loved Sorrento and Hotel Desiree was perfect for us. The staff are so pleasant and helpful. The quad room was big and very comfortable. The best part was the cliffside elevator down to an amazing beach. It is a 10-15 minute walk into town- but the walk provides great vistas. Really great value- and we would definitely return.

The staff were really friendly, they couldn't help enough! They knew the area so well that they could provide excellent insight and maps into any trip you could imagine, along with timetables. The location was nice. 10 min walk into town, lovely views from the room. The bed linen and sheets were clean. Although the bedlinen and sheets were clean,... More

This hotel is clean, friendly and affordable. It has a lovely private beach and an awesome view. My teen daughter and I were travelling together. We felt safe and well cared for at Desiree. Some have complained about the breakfast. Either they have upgraded their breakfast or the compaliner was looking for bacon, eggs & pancakes. The breakfast is more... More
