Hotel Piccolo Paradiso

Die Lage des Hotels ist überhaupt nicht toll, man muss bergauf laufen! (sehr steil) 20-25 Minuten bis zum Busbahnhof, die andere Straße hat keinen Fußgängerweg. Das Zimmer war voller Ameisen und der Hotelmanager gab mir Flash zum Sprühen. Es ist der schlechteste Ort, um mit der Familie zu bleiben. Für Kinder nicht akzeptabel und keine Straße für Kinderwagen! Wenn Sie irgendwohin wollen, müssen Sie Ihre Kinder tragen, da es zu gefährlich ist (überall fahren Autos vorbei – überhaupt keine Fußgängerzone)! Das Frühstück (und das Essen im Allgemeinen) war schrecklich. Wir waren einmal zum Abendessen dort und der Fisch, der serviert wurde, stank! Ich würde dieses Hotel niemandem empfehlen, besonders nicht mit Kindern! Das Einzige, was gut war, war das Hotelpersonal - freundlich und lächelnd. Vor allem der Typ am Pool. (Der Pool war übrigens schmutzig.)

Three star hotel, but more like one or two stars. Bed pretty hard and uncomfortable, staff vary from friendly but mainly unfriendly, need to smile a lot more, food was the biggest let down. When thinking about tips for restaurant staff my family member suggested "buy them a book on how to cook Italian" .. yes half board and food was disappointing. First night chicken just had herbs as flavouring? Don't call that Italian but made for British palate?? On top of this it was dry and overcooked. Other meat dishes similar, or ok but not enough sauce, so I ended up choosing the vegetable option as my main in order to get a tastier meal. All pasta (starter) was not cooked al dente! It was way undercooked as if just shown to the boiling water, and that affected our enjoyment of the various ones each day sadly. The sauces for pasta were only 'ok' or less. The dessert was just chosen by hotel..no choice and most evenings a disappointment. Poor quality. Only the tiramisu evening was 'ok'. We had to eat once at a nearby restaurant to get lovely authentic pasta and meat dishes sadly. I have stayed at a 3 star hotel on Lake Garda which served fabulous italian food, so I was extremely disappointed to be in Italy and suffer this cuisine all week when I adore Italian food. The pool water was 'green' yet on the internet it was blue so made you worry about water quality. The pool was unheated and that is unacceptable in my opinion for a so called 3 star hotel. I got the impression everything was about cost saving in this hotel re food amount, food choice (breakfast had only 'one' type of cheese, no omelettes offered and only an option to boil your own egg re food quality. Also cost saving is the unheated pool. We luckily found a sheltered sea area along the beach esp for public swimming where the sea was warm enough and which saved our holiday experience. The staff were a mix of friendly and totally unsmiling no matter how often you met them! When we left we noticed they didn't make any attempt to say goodbye to their patrons at all . We tipped every area at the end, but I now wonder why we did. We loved the harbour area, and the atmosphere there but would never return to this hotel..would have to stay elsewhere if we return. Luckily we were on a walking/hiking holiday so we're able to concentrate on our group socialising and the activities outside daily. If I was in the hotel all day I would be even more disappointed as there is just no welcoming feeling. There was no bath mat provided.. sounds corny but important..I had to ask or would risk slipping on the tiles. it was not replenished which is weird. Had to ask each time at reception which was a nuisance. had a balcony that looked out front to harbour with parking area in front which was not noisy, even though I expected it, but instead could hear the person next door using loo as if they were in my room! Plus point: the hotel is very clean.

We have recently returned from the Piccolo Paradiso and we loved it. This is a true authentic Italian hotel on the quieter side of the Sorrento peninsula. The hotel was clean and bedrooms were cleaned everyday with fresh towels also. All the staff were polite and helpful. We stayed half board but we did eat out a few nights to enjoy the other restaurants near by. When we did have dinner, the food was traditional, home cooked Italian and good. The views of the Bay Of Naples…. Fantastic!! The location is quiet but this suited us, after trips to Positano and Amalfi (booked with the hotel) with hoards of people, coming back to the hotel was very tranquil. We used Buses to get to Sorrento (stop outside hotel) on a number of occasions and were very efficient and cheap. All in, we enjoyed our time at the Piccolo Paradiso and surrounding areas and would definitely go again.

Just returned from a wonderful 2 week stay at this hotel. We stayed B & B only and throughly enjoyed the breakfasts and meals we chose to have at the hotel. All facilities were excellent. Pool man Emilio (?) - thanks for the Negronis - and restaurant/bar staff looked after us very well - thanks Pasquale & team. Some younger members perhaps lack experience/confidence with foreigners - or perhaps it's just us "foreigners" issue only. Thanks everone for all assistance with local facilities/boat trips. Area is wonderful - loved our extremely relaxing stay in Marina Lobra/Massa Lubrense. Bellissimo!

Friendly staff Clean spacious rooms Cleaners came in each day Fantastic pool with lovely well kept flowers . Good choice at breakfast . Drinks and food reasonably priced . A bus picks up regular out the front of hotel to go up to the main town only 1.5 euro . It’s a steep walk! From there it’s easy to catch the bus to sorrento / piano / pompei etc During your stay make sure to visit Angelos beautiful food and welcoming staff Will defo be returning !

Restaurant staff rude. Fruit salad for dessert, told waiter I didn't want any and he asked if it was too healthy for me. Complained to front desk and they shrugged it off and said he was trying to 'lighten the situation'. As a bigger girl, NOT AMUSED!
