Hotel Rivage

Great location easy short walk to main thoroughfare with restaurants, gelato and shops galore. Beautiful to walk streets of Sorrento old town. Staff very friendly and helpful, English was great. They love when you try to speak Italian, really appreciate the effort. Spotless hotel, main areas constantly being cleaned, room cleaned daily. Blue towels provided in room for the pool. We stayed on the 2nd floor and view was stunning. Pool was perfect for dipping in & out of. Plenty of sun loungers in area beside the pool with umbrellas received the wonderful sun if you like sunbathing. Two shops directly across from hotel for drinks, water & snacks for the room. Fridge in the room which was handy. Absolutely loved this hotel & would highly recommend.

The location is decent, the staff is attentive and the restaurant is clean. The views from the restaurant are nice. The prices are reasonable. However, there’s room for improvement, especially in the breakfast section. The fruit selection is limited, and the juices are not natural. There should be more cheese and ham varieties, and the coffee preparation needs to be improved.

It was actually quite a pleasurable stay, just a few things that left a bad taste in our mouths! It’s quite a decent location as only a couple minutes walk along flat road to the centre, just beware if you are walking up from the ferry port with luggage, it’s hell on earth (literally). Staff were very friendly on arrival with surprisingly no city tax charge. Room was basic enough but very nice and clean! Amazing air con which was very much so appreciated. Nice bathroom, comfy bed, fridge, safe, and a decent balcony. The pool area was quite nice, more so for couples as was quite small but great view to make up for it. The breakfast was so beyond disappointing it makes me want to laugh. Very low quality, shocking variety, and if you want eggs you have to pay €3… not a lot of course but doesn’t scream “breakfast included”. We tried morning 1 and never again, go across the road to the grocery shop and get your breakfast there instead. The biggest issue of our whole stay was at check out. The day prior we had noticed one of the lamps had a chip taken out of body, visible damage but nothing major and assumed it was always there so said nothing (our mistake). Upon check out they presented us with a €50 bill to replace the lamp as the cleaner noted it to staff when cleaning our room. Neither me or my girlfriend even touched that lamp once. Anyways I refused to pay and after some time they agreed to waive it, to be fair the staff member dealing with us was quite nice about it. It just felt like we were getting scammed out of it just as we were walking out and left a bad taste in our mouth. I’d recommend staying here if you have no interest in hotel breakfasts and beware of any damaged property in your room and be sure to inform staff immediately to avoid our situation! Besides breakfast and check out it was a very pleasant experience!

Perfect location within walking distance to most things. Good breakfast. Room clean and fresh
