Grand Hotel Royal

Where to begin! This is a hotel which oozes style and service. You won’t regret investing in your stay here. Grounds - lots of spaces to sit and enjoy the views. Including the terrace and jetty. All maintained daily. Facilities- pool area is well maintained and being off peak it was an enjoyable experience to have the pool to myself! The seaside terrace offers further pleasant spaces to relax. The steps into the sea were a little wobbly and algae covered- to be expected in the sea! Room - spacious and well decorated, bathroom very nice. Housekeeping are very attentive, visiting several times a day. Chocolate at turn down is a special touch. Food - breakfast offers a range of options, including fresh fruit, cheeses, pastries, chef station for freshly cooked eggs! We also dined at the Al la Carte restaurant one evening, superb food and well on its journey to a Michelin star! We were highly impressed by the food, the quality ingredients, and service. Location - perfect! A short walk to the centre of Sorrento but set aside to enable a relaxing atmosphere. Some of the other 5 star hotels are a longer distance and would require taxis so this is a really well placed location base. Service- we attended Sorrento to be married at The Cloister, the hotel made sure every detail was special. A hand written card to welcome our arrival was a sign of the experience ahead. Staff were friendly and helpful. Clearly highly trained in hospitality services, a level of traditional service you don’t often see. We didn’t mention that it was my birthday but the hotel noticed on my passport, a further hand written card with small pastry was delivered to the room on a silver platter. Overall we felt this hotel was on another level! Highly recommended.

This hotel doesn’t get enough praise. It is beyond beautiful, stunning views over The Mediterranean Sea and Mount Vesuvius, great pool with jacuzzi, access to the sea from a private sun deck… breakfast is great and the staff is beyond attentive. The location is perfect as only 2 min walk from a train and bus stations and right next to the town centre. Having seen other hotels I think this one has the best location and amenities. I will definitely be back !
