Stayed five nights at the fabulous hotel Continental May 3 2025. It was a wonderful visit. Myself and my 49 yr old daughter shared a room and my two 20 something granddaughters shared another room. Breakfast was amazing!!! Hotel rooms and service was the very best possible rating we could give! The elevator down to the beach and water was so cool! Location was within 5 min walk to shops and restaurants. Would come back and stay here without going to Rome or even Positano!!! Such a beautiful place with gorgeous views! Cleanliness, and employees very friendly and front desk took care of everything that we needed!! Boat tours to Capri picked us up at our door. Ferry tours Positano within walking distance. Couldn’t be happier with the superior accommodations. Trip of a lifetime. Hoping I will be able to lure my husband to follow this same itinerary in the future!!!!

“Fabulous Hotel. Hightly recommeded.”

The location is superb. We booked a sea view and it did not disappoint. The room was nice, clean & had all we needed. It is expensive to stay at the hotel, but it was a special occasion and given it is Sorrento in peak season it was to be expected. All the bars and restauants were also expensive.… more

It is expensive to stay at the hotel, but it was a special occasion and given it is Sorrento in peak season it was to be expected. All the bars and restauants were also expensive. We were on a higher floor so noise was not a problem. There was an elevator to the beach which was great. The beach was packed out due to it being August and to hire sunbeds and parasol was also expensive but it was yours for the whole day. Thank you to Veronica and all the staff who were faultless, always ready to help with a smile and the service thay all provided was excellent.

“Nice hotel with great views if you get the right room”

The Hotel Continental is in the style of classic Grand Hotels, and it mostly lives up to that standard, including twice-a-day room service.

The Hotel Continental is in the style of classic Grand Hotels, and it mostly lives up to that standard, including twice-a-day room service. We had a medium-sized room with an incredible view of Naples Bay and Mount Vesuvius. The bathroom was modest. It has an old-fashioned bathtub/shower and a bidet. The bed was fine, and the room was only noisy when the wind blew. In that case, you could close the electronically controlled shutters to stop the noise. The desk is a good size, but it has only one plug and no USB ports. In fact, that desk plug is the only one accessible in the bedroom. There are no plugs on the nightstands, but there is one in the bathroom. This is barely acceptable. I just can’t understand why hotels with insufficient plugs can’t install a power strip with plugs and ports. Still, the Internet worked well, and with the cords and plugs I bring, I can survive with one plug. Another small problem is that all the plugs shut with the lights and AC when you leave the room. That means you can’t leave anything to charge in your absence. Breakfast was okay (with a live piano player!). Overall, service was excellent. The front desk was very responsive. There's a decent but small gym (not much used by the hotel's older clientele) and a swimmng pool. Noteworthy items. There’s a scale in the bathroom. Can’t remember ever seeing one in a hotel room before. And one more. As is often the case, the tub/shower is a bit slippery. There’s a grab bar (too often absent in hotels) in the right place, but that’s not enough. What’s new is that there are flip-flops in the bathroom. Wear them and you don’t have to worry about slipping. What an interesting approach to a familiar problem. The flip-flops are uncomfortable, but they work. The biggest problem with the room is the air-conditioning. You can turn the thermostat up to 27 or 28 (80+) Fahrenheit and the AC stays on. In the end, I just turned it off entirely. Given that it’s autumn, no AC is really needed. But somehow either the staff or something turned the AC back on from time to time. This was just a mild annoyance, but it kept turning itself back on at times. I might have a different view here if it were the height of the summer. Overall, we were happy enough in this hotel, and we would return here if in Sorrento again.
