We were part of a Riveria tour group and we chose the Metropole from the reviews we had read on this site. Many of the negative comments were unfounded as we found this to be a typical good quality Italian hotel (twin beds pushed together / tiled floors etc). Where there had been problems we observed the hotel management had... More

We had a fine five day trip to Rome, Naples, Pompei and Capri two weeks ago. We slept two nights in hotel Metropole. It has a good position above Sorrento, view is just beautiful. We traveled with a tourist group so we had a bus to transport us to the port. Walking would take us half an hour. Staff is... More

Lovely hotel, spotlessly clean and wonderful service in restaurant. Lovely pool and sunbathing area surrounded by beautiful flowers. Be careful walking outside, the road is very busy so ask for room at rear for less noise. No real pavements so walking into Sorrento can be tricky but worth doing so. Excellent location to visit Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii.

The hotel is dated and you have the impression that they are skimping on everything to maximise their profits. Worst of all is the food - terrible by any standards. Breakfast is the same every day and not much choice either - the toast is the best but even this is cut from last nights now stale bread! The fruit... More

What was good: 1) Clean bedroom 2) Beautiful views from (some) bedrooms, across bay to Vesuvius What was bad: 1) Steep steps from road up to reception, with no porter 2) Breakfast - awful. Mainly various forms of starch - nothing cooked. Watered-down fruit juice. Dinner poorly cooked, sometimes almost too tough to eat, and usually covered in a glutinous,... More

PROS: The young woman at the desk when we checked in was VERY helpful. Other staff that we encountered at the desk were friendly, but not overly. The rooms were clean, and for the price we were happy. It had free parking, and free wifi(although we couldn't get the signal on our first floor room) There was a swimming pool... More

It was situated about a 10 - 12min. walk from central Sorrento,which was a promising start but after an inspection of both of our mattresses on the second night,we found them to be very badly stained.The management blamed it on a recent,visiting coachload of teenagers which was rather a stupid thing to say,however both beds had clean mattresses by the...

We visited this hotel as part of a Riviera Travel package. The hotel was situated on a noisy chaotic road junction but with good bus links to the town of Sorrento. However, the hotel was very old fashioned with an almost retro feel. It was badly in need of modernisation and internal redecoration and although clean (inside the hotel), the... More

All of the hotel was a little dated but all was extreamly clean. Reception staff very helpful and spoke good english. Rooms were at the back were quite with a large balony. Jimmy Edwards was very entertertaining through out our stay. Would reccomend lunch at the restrant next door very good pizza.
