Hotel Il Faro Sorrento

"Actually, I would prefer to give it a 4.5 stars. It’s a beautiful place nestled on the side of the mountain. The rooftop pool and bar is great. The room was cozy and clean. The only item I would have preferred to have is air conditioning. There is a big fan in the room that was ok and we made the best of it. For anyone going to that direction, take the bus from the train station for 2€. It’ll bring you right down to the hotel without shlepping the luggage down the 200+ steps. Breakfast was a light meal, as expected in Italy."

"What an excellent boutique hotel!! Beautifully appointed decor. Great location close to ferries, city center, train, restaurant right on site. Gorgeous sea views, sunsets and rooftop pool / bar. Delicious coffee and breakfast. Staff couldn’t have been nicer especially breakfast/ bar staff Ana, Antonella, Vincente, Ciro any Cristina front desk. Restaurant next door is exceptional!! Michele and Hussain went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. HIGHLY recommend!! Looking forward to returning. Grazie Il Faro!!"

"It’s a clean and decent hotel. The staff was decent but not overly friendly. When we checked in, the room was very hot and the AC wasn’t working. They couldn’t care less. We slept that first night with the patio door open to cool the room. The maintenance man came the next day and cleaned the unit and it started working. The breakfast was very limited in choices but edible. The location is terrific, and even better once we located an elevator which could take us to the top of the cliff and into town. Yes, there is one, and it saves many hundreds of steps uphill! The rooftop pool, bar and amenities were very nice and enjoyable. The attached restaurant was always busy although we found other seaside establishments and ate at those. The elevator is a little worse than typical as it would constantly need us to push the button as it would cancel the request upon moving to a different floor. All in all, the price was decent, the service lousy, the room was comfortable and the location was good (once the elevator to town was located."
