Grand Hotel Capodimonte

My wife and I stayed here for our wedding in Sorrento and loved Grand Hotel Capodimonte. Their rooms are stunning, comfortable, and modern. Their AC works extremely well (shoutout all Americans). Their staff is also very accommodating. We had a couple odds requests with all of the logistics from our wedding and they helped fulfill every one. The pool is also incredible. One of our favorites parts of the hotel is taking in the view, sitting by the pool, and ordering drinks from their excellent bar. Can't recommend this place enough.

Stunning hotel from reception area, public walkways, restaurant to rooms. Views throughout the hotel are exceptional with views across to Mount Vesuvius. All staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was extremely spacious, brightly decorated with a modern wardrobe unit. The bathroom was large. (The only fault in the bathroom was the tiled floor can become extremely slippery when wet - so take care). Lovely outside pool area that has cascading pools on different levels. Quite a few steps up to the pool. Location is very convenient for walking into Sorrento itself.

The grand hotel had a fantastic location (easy walk to the main tourist area, a moderate one to the port or train station) with a great view overlooking the town/coast. I was not as impressed with the rooms, they were "okay" with too firm of bed and pillows (the kind that hurt your ears if you attempt to lay on them for too long). They also had a sign posted on the thermostat advising "for best experience, leave it set to 25C." So we didn't okay with it, but still noticed the power flicker on and off a few times when in our room. I'm we did wake a few times feeling too hot, which brought to the forefront the uncomfortable bedding again... Showering in the bath with a movable half-wall is an acquired skill that I do not have yet. This half-wall did not do a great job of keeping water from making a wet mess, but at least there is a floor drain and a few ultra-scratchy robes to help minimize falls! Another acquired skill was easily using the key to gain entry to the room, but this one I did get better at. The included breakfast was also just okay compared with hotels we had stayed at in other Italian cities during our trip. The fresh fruit was great, the view from the table (when not seated in direct sun) was pleasant, but I didn't find the rest as nice. Their series of five pools connected by descending waterfalls was beautiful. A great place to cool off after climbing back up from the port, for example. Be warned it inexplicably closes at 6p (1800). The pool-side bar has an expansive cocktail list, and all the drinks we ordered over the course of our stay were high quality. The food served was also very decent. As said initially, this was an okay hotel, we enjoyed our stay, but would probably look elsewhere if visiting the area again.
