The hotel was fine. Rooms were clean. Pool area was nice although when we were there, it was overcome by seagulls and everything that goes along with it. It was disappointing that there was not a shuttle available to go from the hotel into Sorrento. Taxi would’ve cost €150. The breakfast buffet while tasty and I would say was about average maybe slightly below others where we stayed on our journey. Getting into the tub/shower requires one to be an Olympic hurdler, at least in the room that we had. I believe some rooms have walk-in showers, but ours did not.

On checking in, the clerk was unpleasant, the room was arctic cold but we were told on arrival that only the front desk can control room temperature. We requested wash cloths and were told no they do not provide them.. breakfast was always wonderful. Dinner, however, was just truly a 0 to 1 star. For example we ordered carpaccio and they gave us a plate of sliced roast beef! The Spa was a wonderful experience. We highly recommended it. The TV didn’t work either and the staff was truly incapable

Towers Hotel — Room 352, Block Opposite Reception, 3rd Floor I stayed in Room 352, on the third floor of the block opposite reception. The window overlooks the busy coastal road, but it is well double-glazed so noise wasn’t an issue. Room size was good with a large single bed, good lighting and air-con which was quiet. There’s an internal door to the bedroom which is useful as a sound barrier. Good mirrors in both bedroom and bathroom, hairdryer, and it was handy to have a fridge in the room for water etc, plus kettle and tea/coffee facilities. I didn’t use the safe or TV so can’t comment on those. A couple of small niggles — very few hangers in the wardrobe area, the deep bath was hard to get in and out of with no bath mat inside, and the light over the bed wasn’t working. Shower attachments were old fittings and a bit fiddly. Bidet in the bathroom. The hotel was busy due to a conference, but reception staff were friendly and helpful. Bar staff also friendly. Nice choice of cocktails, wine etc, with free crisps and nuts. Bar menu was quite minimal. Pool and garden areas are attractive, and the small beach area is pleasant — sunbeds and towels provided free. Pool wasn’t heated in September. Breakfast was OK — usual selection of hot and cold buffet items, lots of sweet cakes and pastries, breads, fruit, cereal and savoury hot/cold items. Gluten-free was catered for when asked. The on-site restaurant has a good choice of food, but service and atmosphere were not great at the time of our visit, with limited options for dietary restrictions. The best part is the location for the views — beautiful sunsets over the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius. The hotel is some distance from Sorrento and the nearest town, but they lay on a shuttle bus to Vico Equense (which has a good choice of restaurants and shops) and to the station on the Naples to Sorrento line. The train to Pompeii took approx 50 mins and was very busy but highly recommend a day here if you can go. In the opposite direction to Sorrento, end of the line, it took approx 15 mins — Sorrento is a good option for a day out. You have to time the minibus and pre-book, although we were able to book via WhatsApp on the day which was handy. Shuttle cost €3 each way per person. Overall, comfortable and well-equipped for a short stay with lovely outdoor areas and those sunset views.

I booked a sea view room, but arrived to a gray wall directly outside my window and the busy road SS145 Sorrentina immediately below, with constant traffic and large buses honking, making the room especially restless at night. Only by leaning far out of the window could I catch a glimpse of the sea. The hotel called this a “partial sea view,” although this was nowhere indicated in my booking. The receptionist admitted they repeatedly have this issue with bookings, which makes it difficult to understand why the description has not been corrected. There was also no offer of an upgrade or even a small gesture to accommodate the disappointment. Without a car, you are isolated and dependent on the hotel shuttle, which has limited times throughout the day. A 10 minute taxi ride to Vico Equense costs around €25 to €30 each way. If you are looking forward to the advertised spa experience, expect an additional charge of €20 per hour per person. The hotel was converted from a former industrial site, and unfortunately that character is still noticeable. The exterior walls have darkened considerably and look gray and in need of fresh paint, while the entire interior feels dated. For a 4 star hotel, I genuinely wonder how this property received its 4 stars. The hotel advertises an “incomparable” view across the Gulf of Naples. Looking straight across the water, you can see Mount Vesuvius in the distance. However, looking to either side, the outlook is predominantly a wide, flat expanse of water, while towards Naples you also see developed and industrial areas along the coastline. If you are expecting the idyllic cliffside scenery associated with the Sorrento Coast, or something immediately recognizable as the dramatic landscape of this part of Italy, you may be disappointed. The lobby and bar area felt surprisingly loud and busy, with a television playing prominently rather than creating a calmer hotel atmosphere. The room itself was generally looked after, yet I still found several dark hairs in the bathroom that could not have belonged to me. The shower temperature control did not work properly, leaving the water extremely hot and making showering unpleasant. I had deliberately booked the hotel for a peaceful final night and spa experience by the sea before flying from Naples. Instead, I found the entire experience stressful and regretted not simply booking a cheaper hotel in Naples rather than having to travel from this secluded location to Naples Airport.
