Hotel is not in Sorrento, it is 20 to 40 minutes bus ride away, depending on route, traffic conditions, or 1 to 2 hour walk, mostly downhill depending on route taken, fitness, and walking conditions, obviously takes longer coming back if you decide to walk back, people do it. This hotel is not for you if looking for a Sorrento hotel, and if you make the mistake and book here, then don’t go finding fault with hotel, facilities, staff because of your mistake. Hotel is not in the centre of Sant’ Agata, again depending on mobility, to reach bus stop, tourist information, main part of town downhill around 10 to 15 minute walk, and 15 to 20 minute back up. If you enjoy walking, and exploring back streets on way to Sorrento, or around Sant’ Agata, then this is an ideal location, or if you want a hotel to escape the hordes of Sorrento and day trippers to the town. Hotel is used by tour groups, there were 3 different Swedish tour groups a handful of other one night tour groups, using hotel and lots of Italians in over weekend. Looked at this hotel last year when visiting area, initially dismissed it as somewhere we would not book, due to being too modern for us, size of hotel, we prefer much smaller hotels, lack of kerb appeal. This year we were looking for April get away to Italy, came up as being used by Jet2, decided as knew area to go ahead and book, plus as travel agent said, this has a balcony, compared to another hotel, on offer in Sant’ Agnello, so went ahead and booked it. Glad we did. Road outside of hotel can get busy, mainly locals in cars, and walkers, nothing like the roads in the town, car park for hotel located across road. The hotel has a swimming pool, and garden with bar to the side of the hotel, pool and bar was closed, first week here, plenty other hotels pools are not open at this time of year, plus weather was not always good, windy, raining and cold, so no idea why a couple complained when if there was water in the pool, it would not have been practical to use it. Heard this apparently if a hotel advertises a pool, it has to be open to use whatever the weather! Pool opened second week, better weather. There is a free bus service from hotel to Sorrento, but only for a couple of months in high season, so not in use, at this time of the year. Room Free keypad safe, room is open planned, no wardrobes or draws, but then it means less chance of leaving belongings behind. It would possibly benefit from a mirror, not really an issue, as one in bathroom, which did the job. Unusual but there was a kettle in the room, and complimentary tea and coffee. Small fridge stocked, personally not a fan of mini bars, would get rid of this, and leave fridge. TV can get a few English channels, mainly news channels. Balcony is a little small width wise, on plus side private as you cannot see your neighbours, table and 2 chairs. We had room 411, would be happy with this room if stayed again, you could see the Sea in the distance, and looked a
