Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Desiree, a charming spot in Sorrento, is often praised for its access to a private beach and proximity to town, making it convenient to explore. Guests consistently enjoy the spacious and clean rooms, many of which boast balconies with beautiful sea views, sometimes stretching as far as Mount Vesuvius. Breakfast is a highlight for many, with some mentioning the variety of options; however, a few guests have noted that the private beach can be quite rocky. A true gem is the rooftop bar, a spot to enjoy the sunset.

a decent stay with some drawbacks

convenient location private beach access friendly staff dated room decor small bathroom noise levels

the location was convenient (it was close to the city center). the private beach access was a nice perk, though a bit rocky. i found the staff to be generally friendly and helpful. breakfast had a decent selection.

the room decor felt quite dated, and could use some updating. the bathroom was small, and lacked modern amenities. noise from neighboring rooms was easily audible, which affected sleep quality.

fantastic view kind lady thin wall loud door

The location offered fantastic views. It was easy to reach the beach because there was an elevator. The breakfast lady, annamaria, was very kind. She.

The walls were very thin. I could hear conversations of staff members and other guests. Doors were loud, waking me up between 6-8am due to staff activity, like banging doors and cleaning.

subpar room, some issues

poor view loud air conditioning

the staff at check-in were alright, they got me sorted without much fuss.

the room i had booked, a 'double room sea view', was quite a letdown. the view was mostly of a parking lot, and the sea was a distant sliver. also, the air conditioning sounded like a dying lawnmower ALL NIGHT.

the room was not great. there was some mold in the bathroom, not exactly what i want to see. the breakfast was very basic (mostly cakes), and the furniture looked old.

The hotel staff was helpful and kind. They really were very good! My room included a nice balcony with amazing views. I spent hours just soaking it all in. Breakfast was awesome, with so many fresh options, and Anna Maria was especially great. She made mornings so fun!

The bathroom felt a bit dated. I think it needs a small update!
