Hotel Oriente

Sehr komfortables Hotel. Es zeigt ein wenig Abnutzung, aber das außergewöhnliche Personal macht den Aufenthalt lohnenswert. Das Schöne ist, dass es 50 Meter vom Bahnhof entfernt ist, sodass Sorrent, Pompeji, Herkules und Neapel leicht und günstig zu erreichen sind. Sogar ein Tagesausflug nach Rom ist möglich. Das Restaurantpersonal ist unglaublich, nichts ist ihnen zu schwierig.

Ich habe das Kleid meiner Träume im Hotel Oriente Boutique ausgewählt. Ich hatte keine Ahnung und keine Hoffnung, gleich beim ersten Versuch das gewünschte Kleid zu finden. Ich wurde von Marianna begrüßt, die mir von Anfang bis Ende sehr freundlich und professionell folgte, verstand, was ich wollte, sich um jedes Detail kümmerte und das Kleid für meinen besonderen Tag entwarf. Also habe ich mich in mein Kleid verliebt ... hochwertiges Kleid und vorteilhafter Preis, ich würde es allen Bräuten empfehlen!

Great location a few minutes walk to a train station. The hotel staff on reception and in the restaurant were very friendly. Receptions helpful with advise on getting around. Vico nice small town with nice bars and restaurants. Only criticism of the hotel is that if you wanted a drink late afternoon or pre dinner there is no one behind it and the hotel website promotes the bar. You have to wait for someone to come from restaurant . The station was very hand and we travelled by train a lot of days to visit the rest of the Italian coast and cities. Trains are so cheap compared to the UK. Great views from the hotel of the bay and Mount. Vesuvius.

An old hotel that has so much potential but is sadly being neglected. Set into a cliff face with some lovely views, it is ideally located just a five minute walk from the local train station giving you a superb base to explore Pompeii and Sorrento. The room was clean but decoration was not to every ones taste with an array of psychedelic mismatched colours. Definitely in need of an update and a better interior designer. We booked a double economy room, (no executives available) it had a small balcony with a rusty table, noisy air conditioning, large bed and fridge. There was a bathroom with a shower which was over a very old jacuzzi bath that had not been checked or run in a long time. There was no tea/coffee facilities or free water. We were woken every morning very early by the sound of moving furniture. In the corridor outside the paint was blistering and flaking off the walls. The surrounds of the hotel where our room was based could have done with a good clean and were very disappointing. They were obviously not maintained. There were weeks worth of pine needles and dirt on the balconies, steps and sun parasols. Available chairs and tables were rusting, railings in need of painting and tiled areas in need of a good power spray. This spoiled the ambiance and took from what could be a beautiful communal area. The self service breakfast had a good range of nice food, but do not expect Irish sausage, bacon or fried eggs! We did not try the evening meal as it did not provide sufficient choice at the time or value for money. What was a bit surprising was that if you would like a nice tea or coffee with biscuits after a mornings adventure this out of the question as it was not available until the bar opens at 6pm! There is a very small beach, but to get to it you either have to walk down the steep cliff face for 10 minutes and back up or book passage on a shuttle bus (this goes infrequently). The beach is covered in sun loungers and shared with others. Personally, these beaches were not beautiful, especially when compared to the expansive dunes of Waterford or the white sands of east Asia. Vico Equense is in parts very pretty, in others a bit run down. It is described as a quiet town. We did not find this holds true, especially in the evening. It is actually very noisy with traffic constantly on the main thoroughfare and a smell of exhaust fumes. Overall this hotel, with a little effort and care, could be quite spectacular, but at present it is just an average hotel, barely reaching a three star, let alone the four star it states it is!
