How we chose the best hotels in Sorrento

Every hotel in the numbered list scores 8.7 or higher on Booking.com, read on 5 November 2026, and the review count sits next to each score. The usual bar is 300 reviews. Three picks go under it and say so: Excelsior Vittoria and Bellevue Syrene have 81 and 82 reviews and Maison La Minervetta has 208. We kept them because each scores 9.7 and they are among the hotels travellers ask about most. Two 5-star hotels in neighbouring Sant'Agnello, Grand Hotel Cocumella and Hotel Mediterraneo Sorrento, have 76 and 124 reviews, so they stay off the list.

We read no nightly rates. Prices are relative tiers: € is the cheapest bed in town and €€€€ the most expensive, so check your own dates on Booking.com. The order follows fit for a first visit, with the strongest all-rounders first and the budget picks last. We have not stayed at any of these hotels. The catch for each one comes from its lowest Booking.com sub-score or from what the property itself lists.

1. Grand Hotel La Favorita – Via Tasso, centre

Luxury · 5★ · 9.5 on Booking (825 reviews) · €€€€

Best for: a first visit when you want a 5-star hotel inside the town · Skip it if: you want a beach on the property

A 5-star hotel on Via Tasso with the biggest review sample of any luxury name in Sorrento. It lists an outdoor pool, private parking and an airport shuttle, and it has no spa on its Booking.com facility list. Its lowest sub-score is value for money at 8.9, which is high for a hotel at this level. The catch is the sea: no beach is listed, so you will go to Marina Piccola or a beach club for your swim.

Tip: the hotel lists an airport shuttle and parking, so ask what each costs when you book.

2. Hotel Continental – Piazza della Vittoria

Upscale · 4★ · 9.2 on Booking (700 reviews) · €€€

Best for: sea access without a long staircase · Skip it if: you want to be on Piazza Tasso

Private elevators run down from the hotel to its beach, which is the reason to book it. It has a pool and a spa, and Booking.com puts Piazza Tasso at a 10-minute walk. Value for money is its lowest sub-score at 8.6. The catch is that walk, which is longer than from the hotels on the square itself.

Tip: the elevator to the beach is the main feature, so check the beach season before a winter stay.

3. Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria – Piazza Tasso

Luxury · 5★ · 9.7 on Booking (81 reviews) · €€€€

Best for: a classic splurge with the entrance on Piazza Tasso · Skip it if: you want a big review sample before you book

The entrance is on Piazza Tasso, and Booking.com describes a private park and a lift down to the harbour. It lists an outdoor pool, a spa, parking and an airport shuttle. The catch is the sample: 81 reviews is below our bar, and value for money at 8.6 is the lowest sub-score.

Tip: if you are arriving by car, the hotel lists parking, so ask about it and the shuttle when you book.

4. Bellevue Syrene – Piazza della Vittoria

Luxury · 5★ · 9.7 on Booking (82 reviews) · €€€€

Best for: a splurge with a private beach area and a short walk to the centre · Skip it if: you need large rooms

Bellevue Syrene sits on Piazza della Vittoria. Booking.com puts the centre at a five-minute walk and the Circumvesuviana station at ten. It has an outdoor pool, a spa and a private beach area. One editorial review calls the rooms small. Value for money is the lowest sub-score at 8.8. The catch is a sample of 82 reviews, below our bar.

Tip: the Circumvesuviana walk is about ten minutes, so on arrival day a taxi from the station is the easy option with bags.

5. Grand Hotel Ambasciatori – Via Califano

Luxury · 5★ · 9.4 on Booking (335 reviews) · €€€€

Best for: couples who want a private beach · Skip it if: you want to be in the middle of the evening crowds

The lowest sub-score is value for money at 8.6, which is the catch: this is a splurge, and the beach is the thing you are paying for.

Tip: the free beach access is described for high season, so ask what applies to your dates.

6. Grand Hotel Royal – Via Correale

Luxury · 5★ · 9.3 on Booking (372 reviews) · €€€€

Best for: gardens and a private beach in one place · Skip it if: value matters more than the spa

Cliff-top gardens, a private beach, an outdoor pool and a spa make this the most complete resort-style hotel of the five luxury picks. Booking.com says beach access is free in high season and the Circumvesuviana station is five minutes away. Value for money is the lowest sub-score at 8.7, and the catch is the usual one at this level: you pay for the setting.

Tip: the station is five minutes away, so you can arrive by train from Naples and skip the taxi.

7. Hotel Antiche Mura – Piazza Tasso

Upscale · 4★ · 9.2 on Booking (763 reviews) · €€€

Best for: a central pool at a mid-range tier · Skip it if: you want a beach or a sea view

A 4-star hotel on Via Fuorimura, by Piazza Tasso, with an outdoor pool and free sun beds, plus a terrace. The 763 reviews give it one of the strongest samples in the centre. Its lowest sub-score is facilities at 9.3, so the catch is simply the water: there is no beach and no sea view on its listing.

Tip: with the square at your door, ask for a room away from the street if you are a light sleeper.

8. Boutique Hotel Regina – Marina Grande

Upscale · 4★ · 9.1 on Booking (720 reviews) · €€€

Best for: staying near the fishing harbour · Skip it if: you want to be on Piazza Tasso

Boutique Hotel Regina is on Via Marina Grande, at the edge of the old fishing village. It has an outdoor pool, a terrace, a restaurant and parking. Booking.com puts the beaches 656 feet away. Value for money is the lowest sub-score at 8.8. The catch is distance from the main square.

Tip: the hotel lists parking, which is rare this close to the water, so ask about it if you drive.

9. Hotel Bristol – Via Capo

Upscale · 4★ · 9.4 on Booking (526 reviews) · €€€

Best for: two pools and a spa at a mid-range tier · Skip it if: you do not want a 10-minute walk to the centre

A 4-star hotel on Via Capo with two pools, a spa, a fitness room and a terrace. Booking.com puts the centre at a 10-minute walk, and that walk is the catch. Value for money is 8.9.

10. Maison La Minervetta – Via Capo

Boutique · 4★ · 9.7 on Booking (208 reviews) · €€€

Best for: a small hotel with private steps to Marina Grande · Skip it if: stairs are a problem

A 4-star on Via Capo with a pool, a lift, a garden and free parking. Booking.com says private steps lead down to Marina Grande and that you can reserve a lounger at a beach 220 yards away. The score is the highest of the mid-range picks, but 208 reviews is below our bar, and value for money at 8.4 is the lowest sub-score. The catch is the steps.

Tip: the steps go down to Marina Grande, so ask about luggage before you book.

11. Grand Hotel de la Ville – Via Rota

Upscale · 4★ · 8.9 on Booking (616 reviews) · €€€

Best for: a rooftop pool and a balcony in every room · Skip it if: value for money is your first test

Two pools, one of them on the roof, a spa, a balcony in every room, and the sea three minutes away on foot, according to Booking.com. It is a 4-star, so do not expect the 5-star scores above. Value for money is 8.3, the lowest in this list, and that is the catch.

Tip: the balcony comes with every room, so ask for the highest floor your tier allows.

12. Grand Hotel Capodimonte – Via Capo

Upscale · 4★ · 9.0 on Booking (681 reviews) · €€€

Best for: pool days close to the cliff edge · Skip it if: you want a bargain

A 4-star on Via Capo with a pool, a spa and a fitness room, and the centre a 10-minute walk away. Its sample of 681 reviews is solid. Value for money is the lowest sub-score at 8.2, and the walk to town is the other catch.

Tip: it shares the road with Bristol and La Minervetta, so check rates for all three on the same dates.

13. Hilton Sorrento Palace – Via Sant'Antonio

Upscale · 4★ · 9.0 on Booking (579 reviews) · €€€

Best for: families and anyone who wants a big resort with two pools · Skip it if: you want a small hotel with local character

A large 4-star hotel with two pools, one indoor and one outdoor, four restaurants and a fitness room. Its lowest sub-score is location at 8.8, which hints at the catch: this is a big resort, not a hotel on the square.

Tip: with four restaurants on site, ask about half board before you book.

14. Hotel Il Nido Sorrento – Via Nastro Verde

Mid-range · 3★ · 9.4 on Booking (1,524 reviews) · €€

Best for: drivers who want free parking and a garden · Skip it if: you want to walk to the square

Il Nido has the biggest review sample in this article, at 1,524 reviews, and a 9.4. It lists free parking and a garden, and it has no pool on its Booking.com list. It sits on the hillside road of Via Nastro Verde. Location is its lowest sub-score at 9.0, which is the catch. Use the full name when you search, because other hotels share the words "Il Nido".

Tip: the hillside is the reason it is quiet, so plan on a taxi or the car for dinner.

15. Hotel Mignon Meublè – Via Sersale

Budget · 3★ · 9.1 on Booking (636 reviews) · €€

Best for: a bed in town with a terrace and garden on a tight budget · Skip it if: you want a pool

A 3-star on Via Sersale with a lift, a terrace, a garden and a bar. Facilities is its lowest sub-score at 9.1, so the catch is mostly what it does not have: there is no pool on its listing.

Tip: the lift matters in Sorrento, where many streets climb, so confirm it serves your floor.

16. Hotel Nice – Corso Italia

Budget · 3★ · 8.7 on Booking (985 reviews) · €€

Best for: a short walk to Piazza Tasso on the lowest budget · Skip it if: you want a pool or a view

Hotel Nice is on Corso Italia, 330 yards from Piazza Tasso according to Booking.com, with a lift and a terrace. Facilities is its lowest sub-score at 8.7, the lowest score of any hotel on this list, and that is the catch: you are paying for position.

Which area should you stay in?

Sorrento is compact, and the area decides your day more than the hotel does. For a longer comparison of the Amalfi Coast towns, see where to stay on the Amalfi Coast.

Piazza Tasso and the centre. The easiest base for a first visit, with Excelsior Vittoria, Antiche Mura, Hotel Plaza and Hotel Nice within a short walk of the square. It is the busiest part of town.

Piazza della Vittoria. The clifftop square where Bellevue Syrene and Hotel Continental stand. The centre is a 5 to 10 minute walk, and both hotels have their own way down to the sea.

Via Capo. Bristol, Maison La Minervetta and Grand Hotel Capodimonte are all here, with the centre about 10 minutes away on foot. It suits pool days more than late nights.

Marina Grande. The old fishing harbour, where Boutique Hotel Regina sits. Quieter than the square, and further from it.

Via Nastro Verde. The hillside road with Il Nido, La Badia and Aminta. Their lowest Booking.com sub-score is location, so plan on a car or taxi.

Tourist tax and what to budget

We read no nightly rates, so we will not give you a price. We can say that the tourist tax is on top of the room rate. A February 2026 local news report said Sorrento had frozen the tax for 2026 at €2 a night up to 3 stars, €4 for 4 stars and €5 for 5 stars. We could not confirm the night cap or the exemptions on the Comune di Sorrento's own page, so check them before you budget.

Getting to your hotel

From Naples, the Circumvesuviana train takes about 70 minutes, with trains roughly every half hour, according to a third-party summary of the EAV timetable. Check the operator's own timetable for the day you travel. Our Naples to Sorrento guide covers the options, and the Rome to Sorrento guide covers the long way in. If you would rather be met at the airport, Welcome Pickups runs pre-booked transfers.

For Capri, hydrofoils leave from Marina Piccola in about 20 minutes and the fast ferry takes about 30, according to a reseller page, so read our Sorrento to Capri guide before you book. If you are choosing between coast bases, compare Sorrento vs Positano, then the best hotels in Positano and the best hotels in Capri.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Sorrento?

Piazza Tasso and the centre, for a first visit. It puts the restaurants, the shops and the Circumvesuviana station within walking distance, and hotels like Antiche Mura and Excelsior Vittoria sit right on it. If you want the sea and quiet more than the crowds, look at Via Capo or Marina Grande.

What is the best hotel in Sorrento?

For a first visit, Grand Hotel La Favorita, which tops our list of the best hotels in Sorrento with a 9.5 from 825 reviews. For a classic splurge it is Excelsior Vittoria, and for a private beach it is Ambasciatori.

Does Sorrento have a beach?

Not a wide one in town, because the town sits on cliffs. Several hotels solve that themselves. Ambasciatori and Royal list a private beach, Bellevue Syrene a private beach area, and Continental has elevators to its beach. Marina Grande is the harbour village for a wander and a swim.

Should I stay in Naples or Sorrento?

Sorrento, if you want a smaller town and a base for the coast, Capri and Pompeii. Naples, if you want a big city. See Pompeii and the Naples travel guide before you decide.

Which Sorrento hotels have a pool?

Of the 16 picks, La Favorita, Continental, Excelsior Vittoria, Bellevue Syrene, Ambasciatori, Royal, Antiche Mura, Regina, Bristol, La Minervetta, de la Ville, Capodimonte and Hilton Sorrento Palace list one. Bristol, de la Ville and Hilton list two. Il Nido, Mignon and Nice do not.

Is there a tourist tax in Sorrento?

Yes. A local news report from February 2026 gave €2, €4 and €5 a night by star level, unchanged for 2026, but check the comune for the night cap and exemptions.

Our final pick

For most first-time visitors, Grand Hotel La Favorita is the hotel to book: a 9.5 from 825 reviews, a pool, and a central address. If the budget is tight, Hotel Mignon Meublè scores 9.1 from 636 reviews. For the wider trip, see our Sorrento travel guide, the things to do in Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast travel guide.
