Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Desiree, a charming 2-star hotel, is appreciated for its spacious and clean rooms, often offering amazing views including Mount Vesuvius. Guests enjoy a delicious and generous breakfast, with freshly baked cakes being a highlight, served by the wonderful Anna-Maria. A private beach is accessible via steps or a convenient elevator and while some found the walk into the center of Sorrento a pleasant 15-20 minute stroll with amazing views, others might prefer alternative transport; also, the hotel provides parking. some guests have pointed out that the furniture on the rooftop bar could be more comfortable, but overall, this unique spot is considered a true gem with stunning sea views.

The breakfast had a good spread and cappuccinos, I looked forward to it each morning! Annamarie. She accommodated dietary preferences. Her fresh cakes were a favorite memory!
The bathroom door was very thin. I could hear everything from inside. The room didn't match the photos on the website at all. My laptop became static while charging, this was concerning.
