Hotel Antico Parco Del Principe

“Not a 4 star but beautiful waterfront”

Lovely setting with gorgeous sea views. Hotel is not 5 star though, it needs a full renovation. Very dated. Also very inconvenient to town.

Lovely setting with gorgeous sea views. Hotel is not 5 star though, it needs a full renovation. Very dated. Also very inconvenient to town. They have a shuttle but they have very limited times you can take it and you have to reserve in advance. Cab ride to town is 25 euros. We walked to and from town but it is a solid half hour walk. The best thing about the hotel is the waterfront bc it has its own private protected inlet so you do not need to go to beach club. It is gorgeous. If they renovated the hotel and increased the shuttle service this could he a 5 star hotel. Also, the hotel had no vibe. It is august and the restaurant and bar are empty at night.

“Beautiful location and architecture, service weak”

The hotel is situated in a beautiful park and therefore very quiet. The architecture is also convincing, but this hotel is also a bit outdated and needs renovation in many places. Unfortunately the service is not optimal. The welcome at the reception is loud and not very warmhearted. The breakfast buffet, which is due to the special circumstances, is neither convincing in choice nor taste. The waiters, who are very eager but nevertheless not particularly friendly, appear slightly annoyed when guests express individual wishes. Due to the bad weather, the breakfast restaurant was cold on the morning of our departure and it rained and dripped everywhere.But that shows the poor condition of the building. The restaurant had a little bit the character of a youth hostel that morning. Our room with sea view and small balcony was spotless and clean, but the air conditioning could not be turned off. Another negative point is that the private beach was closed much too early. Especially in a leisure hotel like yours, guests don't want to be expelled from the beach at 6 pm. We would have liked to go Swimming later as well. Conclusion: undeniably a beautiful hotel in a sensational location, although quite far from the centre. A hotel-owned shuttle would certainly be a good investment - as would the training of some of the staff in terms of friendliness and service. After all, you want to be a 5* hotel. But as a guest you don't notice that. And another small note on hygiene: please instruct your staff that a mouth-nose mask that is only worn over the mouth and not over the nose is ineffective and that guests could also be infected by aerosols from the nose.

“60’s it is”

Intact 60’s decor in excellent nick. Dramatic views over the sea looking to Naples and Vesuvius, and sited right on huge cliffs to the sea.

Intact 60’s decor in excellent nick. Dramatic views over the sea looking to Naples and Vesuvius, and sited right on huge cliffs to the sea. The pool is big and lovely and the private beach is great and private. Breakfast very average, and lunch menu meh. Evening meal with more sophisticated menu was good. Problem is you’re kind of stuck there with no other restaurants close enough to pop in. Easy pretty walk to Sorrento. Concierge booked dinner in town at Antigua Trattoria exquisite decor and food, a must go. Always worth getting advice from knowledgeable concierge for best quality hidden gems we found. Very happy we chose Sorrento not Positano, for pool and beach access with kids. Free shuttle to town good, but taxi home after dinner. Happy with experience, it is exactly as advertised.

“A business hotel with a view”

Beautifully located on top of a cliff looking over the Gulf of Naples. It is a nice place to stay - ich you are on a business trip. Efficient processes. Pragmatic rooms. However, I could not imagine spending holidays in these very anonymous rooms, with small wardrobes and malfunctioning hair dryers.
