Hotel Admiral

Amazing facility, amazing staff...everything was perfect for our stay in Sorrento

Dont drive there Sat nav takes you miles out of the way, driving there is hurendous, narrow only just get car down the street, then have to walk to hotel. 20€ a night to park not said in write up.

Overpriced, run down & dirty! Very disappointed with my stay at this property. Overall the property is dated & tired which I could excuse, but the entire place needs a deep clean. Staff seemed under pressure & unhappy. The room itself was basic, but grubby & not thoroughly cleaned. The only positive I have is that the en-suite seemed have been updated in the last 5 years, but again the tap barely worked & the sink backed up. Breathtaking sea views is about the only thing this hotel has going for it.

Stunning views in a beautiful location. Our room was simple but clean with an amazing balcony. The terrace was lovely for having breakfast on and the pool was nice. There is also a small beach just next to the hotel and lots of great restaurants and bars really close by, and it’s a short walk up to the town centre. The staff were nice and compared to the price of other hotels in Sorrento I think this one was really good value.

This hotel has a number of drawbacks. But my biggest gripe is that the restaurant charges for mineral water but actually serves tap water in a reused bottle. In fact it was slightly salty so may be something other than tap. I shudder to think. The room tap water was ok and the same brand we bought else where was delicious. We thought the way the waiter delivered the water was a bit odd as a made a bit of a show of opening it. A dishonest practice and a health risk. Other than that the only two times we ate on the restaurant due to bad weather it was about the same quality or less than a truck stop. Maria running the place was not impressed at pointing out the burnt to ashes shrimps. Plenty of restaurants in the bay but are over priced tourist traps. Better to walk into Sorrento. The location requires a good stiff walk uphill to the main area but worth it. Not one for anyone with mobility issues. No dangers of getting sunburn. The location at the bottom of a cliff and orientated north east means there are only a small number of hours in the morning when you can see direct sunlight. The hotel is basic and clean in the public areas. Although the live in staff on our floor made sure it always smelt of cigarette smoke. I rarely give places bad reviews unless there is something pretty in wrong - in this case drinking their bottled water is likely to be a health hazard.
