but extremely basic, no mirror  to sit and do hair, lighting needs improving no light in doorway near entrance where there was a large mirror, a bedside lamp did not work and the other lamps had bulbs not working!

No mirror in room above desk so had to use mobile phone to do hair etc.And to top it off,2 days without any hot water!.

Cold showers The doors were all corroded needing painting  chipped.

only 2 sockets in our room one which had a tv plugged in and the other a lamp, so to charge our phones we had to keep them unplugged, only mirror was in the bathroom, needs a mirror in the bedroom too, no shelf in the bathroom so toiletries all had to be on the floor, and of course no tea/coffee making facilities or fridge was not ideal.

but again this is very minor, shower is very powerful.

No mirror in our bedroom and TV didn't work (though that was not a big issue for us).

- Issues with the pool kept draining (could be fixed in future).

Also the builders managed to disconnect the hot/cold water one morning, meaning we had to go out for the day unshowered, and when returning the bathroom taps were spitting brown water everywhere.

Not much in room, no fridge, no mirror in room, only 1 bedside lamp.

The hotel was run down 
and needs renovation, the shower needed a thorough clean , moth eaten curtains , a broken window in the hall taped up , a duvet provided with no duvet cover .

The shower was the worst with mould, water stains and other peoples hair!!

My only minor negative would be that the water pressure in the shower wasn’t great.

No soap was provided for the first few days and reception staff did not understand what we meant when we asked for some.

No mirror expect for the one in bathroom.

Sink plug broken, mold around the bath, shower curtain dirty and the shower was so old it sprayed a fine spray everywhere - not for me or possibly a 4star.

There was a broken window on one of the landings, there were pieces of the fencing where the welding had come undone and rust was coming through the paint work.

The sink had been tiled down the back of the sink to close to the plug thing so your unable to fill the sink to shave etc!

While we were there the sun stayed on this area until approximately 13.00 
And finally an important part , the staff : 
They were all friendly and helpful 
I would highly recommend The Hotel Admiral 
Also something that maybe of interest is Marina Grande offers a great selection of boat trips and water sports

As mentioned bar staff friendly this could not be said for reception staff!

It’s a lovely location on the marina, the bed was comfy enough at the staff were all helpful and friendly at least!

All staff were accommodating and friendly.

The staff were all friendly and attentive and took great pains in making sure everything was spotless.

Staff and service at this hotel all impeccable: friendly and attentive.

The staff in this hotel are so so friendly.

Room cleaned everyday

 Extremely clean and staff friendly and helpful.

The staff were friendly and helpful, they always seemed to be smiling;

The staff are friendly and yes the bar prices are on the high side

Staff very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them.

All the staff are fabulous - professional funny and friendly - gonna miss them all - Thankyou for making our stay so fun .the view from our room took you’re breath away - the best room Iv ever stayed in .

Great hotel, great location, great staff, all of which are very friendly and a great breakfast!

Some friendly staff, plenty food choice at breakfast.

but saw a scuba diving centre, you can do paddle boarding and kayaking from the marina, tour office offered a 1 hour tour of sorrento coast and boat excursions to Amalfi / Capri (unaware of pricing)

- Understandably the staff limited English but were super friendly and good service.

- On the reception staff, they also provided several extra pillows for us, let us store bags and use facilities after check out, booked us a taxi and were pretty friendly.

The only negative for us was the lack of a kettle and fridge in the room.

Rooms were basic (could do with a fridge and kettle)

There was also no kettle with coffee/tea in the room.

but do lack a fridge or any tea or coffee making facilities.

In the rooms, new towels everyday, could have done with a small fridge & kettle,

Yes, there’s no fridge or kettle in the room

No coffee/tea facilities so we took a travel kettle.

There is no fridge in the rooms or any facilities to make a hot drink ,Then the constant drilling as the workers are still renovating the place when this work should of been done before actually opening!!

but they’re well cleaned- a mini fridge or kettle could go a long way!

- I'd laughed at reviews previously complaining about having no mini fridges in the rooms,

we asked for two glasses for our room for water and were given two cheap plastic disposable cups .

No fridge in room, no glasses and when requested given plastic beaker.

It was dirty with broken and with fixtures, lamps not plugged in, broken sockets and lacked a fridge.

In the room there was no place for two people stuff, no fridge or mini bar.

When I read there was no kettle in the room or room service, this forward thinking was a must.

Rooms are NOT provided with tea and coffee making facilities and no kettle.

but no wi-fi in the room (bar and reception area only), no fridge, no tea and coffee making facilities in the room.

although it’s approximately a 15-20 minute walk from the main town it’s still a great location .

Great position with lovely views across the bay to Vesuvius from our sea view room.

The pool area is in the shade from early afternoon everyday due the the position of the hotel.

The location at the end of the Marina Grande means you are close to some of the most highly rated restaurants in Sorrento.

Great location in beautiful Marina Grande.

Great location away from the main town yet minutes walk.

But this hotel has the best location in sorrento and is by far the best value for the view you pay for.

(Capri, Pompei and Amalfi coast )
Location was beautiful with lots  of lovely restaurants on Marina Grande and also a spar shop and tobacco shop with very reasonable prices.

This hotel was the perfect location for us.

The location is great with wonderful views.

Location is fantastic and sea view rooms have a beautiful view of the bay.

This hotel is all about the location; nestled into the cliff face at one end of Marina Grande it has stunning views of Vesuvius and the Gulf of Naples.

The Location is excellent for the harbour with numerous good restaurants close by.

The location is stunning and the views over to Mount Vesuvius spectacular.

A Bus can take you up to sorrento so its a great location for all.

Stunning location with spectacular views, can almost touch the sea!

Location is great, next to the sea with a small marina area nearby.

The Admiral is situated in Marina Grande which

The positives: 
The hotel is in a beautiful position with spectacular views of Vesuvius and the Marina Grande 
Breakfast buffet has plenty of choices and fabulous made to order omelettes 
Waiting staff and bar staff friendly and courteous, special shout out to omelette maker!

A pleasant walk up to the centre of Sorrento via steps at the other end of Marina Grande.

but there are also local buses running from the Marina.

It is quite literally a flat 3 minute walk from drop off point at the marina.

Had a beautiful modern sea view room on the 3rd floor  with panoramic view of Versuvius and Marina Grande.

Take the bus or take the stairs - or take the Via del Mare.

We had a large balcony which had stunning  views over the marina.

The adjoining small, lively and photogenic resort of the Marina Grande provides a host of dining and drinking options all within a short stagger.

Marina Grand is lovely with lots of restaurants  and is out of the mad traffic of Sorrento.

Short walk to Marina Grande which is very vibrant, centre of Sorrento approx 1km.

Marina Grande is a small fishing village with 6 or 7 genuine fish restaurants and a lovely evening atmosphere.

PROS:
- Location - I don't think there is a hotel in Sorrento closer to the sea + you're less than five minutes walk from the small beach at Marina Grande (it has a beach club

but not with the atmosphere the Grand Marina has, with its restaurants and bars.

It is also very close to the seafood restaurants and beach on Marina Grande, and around 1km walk to the heart of Sorrento (though note this is uphill).

The hotel is in a great location I Marina Grande.

The hotel is situated right on the waterfront with great views of the marina ,sea , distant bay of Naples and mount Vesuvius.

The location of this hotel is beautiful, overlooking the Marina.

The hotel itself sits by the stunning Marina about 10 minutes walk into Sorrento.

Sorrento is an amazing place, the hotel Admiral has amazing views overlooking the Marina Grande, the Med and Mount Versuvius,

We had a beautiful room (306) overlooking the Marina Grande, the bay of Naples and Vesuvius.

The deck was good in the evenings as it was a lovely view of the marina.

Aside from that, the hotel is unique in being the only one right on the sea in Marina Grande, with a sun deck cantilevered out over the bay.

Positives, hotel was in a fantastic position overlooking the Marina Grande.

On arrival met with pleasant staff when we went to our room we went wow it was a lovely room with a fabulous balcony overlooking the sea and marina grande the hotel staff were brilliant and the food was excellent.Thanks  the Admiral Hotel for making this special  birthday.

We had a chat with reception next morning - all staff are great - and were moved to room 302, partial sea view and overlooked Marina Grande.

180 degree views of Marina Grande ,Vesuvius , the sea and coast.

We arrived at the Admiral Hotel on the 28th of September, first impressions was very good, we had a room at on the top floor, the room was spotless, on opening our French doors to the balcony we had an amazing view of the marina and the sea view,

Our room was absolutely perfect and the view over the marina was unbeatable .

The terrace of the hotel which has the most incredible view onto the sea and the Marina Grande is what makes this hotel worth staying at.

We took our coffee from breakfast every morning and sat out at the table and chairs on the veranda overlooking the sea and the marina .

Location - First class right on the cliff edge overlooking Marina Grande which is a small vibrant area with great Bars and Restaurants.

The rooms were nice, we had a partial view which was great we just got to see the marina which was perfect for us.

Situated at the stunning Marina Grande where it seems time has stood still, the hotel is right at the end of the marina less the 10 feet above sea level.

Stunning setting, and we had a side view balcony which was still a fantastic view out over the marina!

Failing that there is a regular mini bus service from outside the shop in the marina that drops you in the heart of Piazza Tasso - it costs 1 euro each way and you buy your tickets from inside the shop.

but the little bus (1.6euro each) to Piazza Tasso or Bus/Train station runs evevry 10-20mins.

The little buses from outside the supermarket are so useful for getting up and down to the main railway station and Piazza Tasso.

Although tucked away the shuttle bus was a 5min walk (don't try heels with with cobbles) and drops you right at piazza Tasso.

It's a 10-15 minute uphill walk to Piazza Tasso to the main bars and restaurants.

The main square ''Piazza Tasso'' is closed to cars and buses at night time and is the place to be to take in the atmosphere and enjoy the local cuisine.

A local bus went up to town and the main Piazza for just over a euro and saved you the steep incline and then there was a scenic walk back along the coast which only took about ten minutes.

The local bus from Marina Grande is 1 euro which takes you to Piazza Tasso,

I'm aware that some chose to eat out - Aurora in Piazza Tasso was good if expensive.

No road traffic yet you can walk gently uphill into Sorrento in 10-15mins or catch a bus to the main square (Piazza Tasso).

This will take you to the main square (piazza tasso) and the railway station.

There is a mini bus service from the small shop in the Marina Grande that goes up to Piazza Tasso for a small cost of €1.20 which runs every 30 mins

To reach Piazza Tasso, the heartbeat of the town, it is necessary to ascend some forty or so inclined steps (step up, walk five inclined paces, step up) - or take a half hourly bus from the promenade, at €1.20 each way.

The main section of the town of Sorrento and Piazza Tasso are a short walk from the hotel.

the 'foreigners club' is a short walk from piazza tasso and looking down onto marina piccolo where the bigger ferries leave from.

The rest of the time we took the bus up from the marina which runs at 20 past and 10 to the hour (with reasonable accuracy), €1.20 for each person to buy 60 minutes time on the local bus system, Marina Grande to Piazza Tasso 10 minutes (Ticket T1 bought from the Tabac at the stop) and then we always walked back down which was always a pleasant experience.

The hotel is a good 15/20 min walk to the main square Piazza Tasso and is all uphill with steps so maybe not good if you have mobility problems.

but we managed it quite easily every day (sometimes twice) but there is also a little bus that runs up to Piazza Tasso.

Reasonably priced coffee shops and loved watching the world go by in Bar Herculaneum
in the central piazza.

Vincenzo is head barman, though his work is hampered by poor availability of branded products, with second rate local spirits offered instead and really fail to hit the mark,

but the quality of the ingredients was lacking.Given the poor state of the hotel and not being given the room we had paid for, we checked out after one night.

Even the coverage in the lounge is poor and any other guest downloading or watching video or tv drops the bandwidth to a snail’s pace.

WIFI is poor 1/10 and only available in the reception/bar area.

"Piped" music, particularly during the day on the terrace also poor - tended to be a dance radio channel which definitely grated!

This property needs a full refurbishment the food was very poor so we ate out most nights after giving it the benefit of the doubt for 1 night which was poor.

but the Hotel is rated as 4 Star which is a joke, the food was poor, lack of quality, regimental routine on so called Gala nights, we went out to eat on a few occasions at our own expense.

The only real minus point in 2019 is the very poor WiFi coverage, effectively only half of the lounge area.

Food poor, cheap and tasteless, even breakfast was cold greasy.

but lift inadequate for wheelchairs
Access to hotel poor and some distance from transfer drop off unsheltered
Pool cold (oct) and difficult try for disabled to get in or out
In MGrande surface cobbled option to reach Sorrento 40+steps uphill, bus that was only hourly, taxi 25E to travel 5km
In general the staff Maria Anna (two names) Miki Luigi Mauro Fabio and views make the place.

Service from staff at Reception was poor.

It has been mention on a number of occasions that the food is of relatively poor quality.

Breakfast was very poor, the hot food was often cold.

The location and views do not make up for the poor condition of the hotel.

There was poor direction from staff when it came to what was to eat and some had their main before they realised there was soup.

I cannot understand where this hotel finds such poor quality produce and how anyone in their right minds can enjoy the food here.

If you are unsteady on your feet or have poor mobility then it's not for you.

- dinning experience after two days of poor meals gave up on restaurant and ate out.

A lovely open plan area with a seating area that overlooks the water, truly a lovely wee place to sit and have a coffee or a cocktail.

The sea views from the rooms are exceptional and is far enough out of town to be comfortable

Its location has an incredible view across the bay of Napels, the view of Vesuvius from the ground floor while you eat breakfast of sunbathe is just amazing.

Couldn’t have been better placed or indeed have a better view!

but overall lovely staff, fab views from the deck and pool area.

Arrived home yesterday and already missing the view !

Lovely clean hotel, terrace overhanging the sea.

Our tall ceilinged, stylishly plain room with the “Palace of Versailles” chandelier gives out  onto a balcony which presents you with what must be one of the best views of the Med looking out as it does across the sparkling waters of the bay of Naples, crisscrossed by the wakes of dozens of boats directly towards the looming outline of Vesuvius.

but to be honest if I worked at a hotel with that view I’d be smiling.

We couldn't get enough of the freshly baked pistachio croissants for breakfast each morning.

The room has a great view and breakfast was wonderful.

Our breakfast was fabulous-lots to choose from and delicious.

but quiet, comfortable and an amazing breakfast.

The breakfast was very good and the people who were working in the breakfast area were very nice and accommodating.

The choices of the breakfast are abundant.

Breakfast has a good variety and the the food is yummy.

Staff is very good and also breakfast was also having some good option.

We loved the breakfast every morning, and enjoyed the cappuccinos with the smiley faces.

Breakfast options great and the location amazing.

It is absolutely charming and cozy and the free breakfast is delicious.

Great hotel, wonderful breakfast, brilliant central location!

The rooms are well appointed and spacious, the breakfast was delicious, the location is ideal for being in the city center.

The water pressure in the shower was a treat and the breakfast is fantastic.

Cozy , lovely hotel with a great breakfast.

The breakfast has something for everyone.

There was a wonderful variety of food for breakfast and the staff couldn’t be more lovely.

The cappuccinos with breakfast even had a foam smiley design.

Lovely decor with photos showcasing the history of the hotel with the history of the city.

The accommodations were very tasteful and elegant-simple in the room,

The antique furnishings and decor of the hotel are gorgeous.

Very handily located for the Duomo and historic sights - in a beautiful building and with a lovely traditional interior decor too.

The furnishings represent the history of the hotel.

Everything is quite up-to-date, yet it’s been around since 1879, developing character all the while.

The piazza where it is located is festive and lively all day.

The staff are helpful, patient and kind - from the staff at the front desk that provided me with an ice bag and ice for my swollen knee to the friendly staff in the breakfast room that made cappuccinos decorated with smiley faces.

Hotel Pendinis’ charm did not disappoint!

Located within steps of the Duomo, this historic hotel has been well maintained with lots of character and charm.

Our room was very comfortable and the sitting room down the hall from the front desk has an old world charm.

Hotel Pendini is centrally located and allowed for shopping, dining and museum visits within a very short walking distance.

Hotel Pendini is located in the heart of Florence with walking distance to every attraction in the city.

The property was in an amazing location, I couldn’t have asked for a better spot.

This is a class hotel and location is perfect place to stay.

It has the intimacy of a well-run, beautifully appointed and perfectly located get away.

The location was great - almost equidistant between  Il Duomo and the Uffizi.

Location is in the middle of everything, easy to walk to all the museums and churches.

It rooms are spotless and the hotel is centrally located.

There could be nothing better than the location of this hotel.

price comparing with the services and location very good , i appreciate all the staff in the hotel
