Splendid hotel, setting, features but food and service do not live up to standard. Our room outlook was not very pleasant either.

My friend and I stayed at this hotel last July for two weeks and I have only just got round to writing a review. It is a fabulous hotel - wonderful location, lovely rooms (don't worry about the noise from the road side rooms unless you leave your window open), and excellent food. But the main thing that has made... More

My wife and I just returned from a vacation on the Amalfi Coast. Our trip started in Sorrento and we stayed at the Grand Hotel Royal. This is a five star Hotel posing as a four star. Everything about the Hotel was outstanding. The rooms were spotlessly clean and our balcony overlooked the Bay and the beautiful grounds. The staff... More

This was my fourth holiday to Sorrento but my first at the Royal Hotel and it certainly won't be my last! This is an excellent four star hotel, which deserves to be five star.

My husband and I have just returned from ten days in glorious Sorrento. We stayed at the Grand Royal which deserves more than 4 stars. It is a typical, traditional Italian hotel, spotlessly clean and very charming.

But the main problem with the hotel is that unless you pay for a sea view, your room will overlook a very, very busy main road....and 'very busy' is probably an understatement as it actually sounded like a race track at night. The... More

The rooms in this hotel are spacious and gorgeous, the views of the Bay of Naples are absolutely spectacular. The room furnishings are especially beatiful, all with matching inlaid wood for which the region is known. The seaward rooms have good-sized balconies that hold a bistro table and two chairs, perfect for enjoying a glass of wine and perhaps some... More

Grand, big rooms, elegant old world feel, modern conveniences, fantastic views, great grounds and pool, but also elevator ride down to private Mediterranean access and lounge chairs, ferry close. And lastly: Great buffet breakfast. Very relaxing. Good coffee. I am ready to go back right now!

My mother,my husband and my self have just returned from a most enjoyable 11 night stay at the Grand Hotel Royal. We have stayed in Sorrento on 4 previous occasions and were aware of the hotel type and the itinerary. I would describe this hotel as an 'old world' type hotel typical of that found in Sorrento. We stayed on... More
