My partner & I  stayed at this hotel for a two wk holiday, the hotel was fantastic, the rooms were clean & beds very comfortable, all  staff were excellent especially the dining room staff, they were all very helpful  efficient &  friendly.

Rooms were clean and best of all,air conditioned as we had arrived in a heatwave  .The restaurant staff and food were lovely, the free shuttle to Sorrento was a godsend as it was too hot to walk.

The rooms are very clean and you have everything you need.

Staff were fantastic, our room was clean and had all essentials, could use some updating in decor

Apart from the cleanliness of the rooms and hotel in general, it was the welcome and warmth from the staff which made this holiday so memorable.

The room was very clean and was cleaned daily.

Our room service Dino was very good at his job and left the room each day spotless.

The rooms were clean & comfortable and the sheets & towels were changed every couple of days.

The hotel was always clean and the rooms were always in a good condition.

The hotel was very clean and the rooms were cleaned very well every day by helpful staff.

The rooms are spotless, cleaned every day, the free shuttle bus into Sorrento is a great help

The room was very clean, views were great.

Our room was clean and comfortable, it was nice to be able to sit in tranquility on the balcony with a glass of prosecco, or cup of coffee and take in the views including Mt.

Everything was kept clean and tidy & our rooms cleaned daily.

The hotel is clean and the rooms are cleaned daily to a very good standard.

The Hotel Caravel is a lovely hotel, bright and airy with a good feel to it, really nice swimming pool, two roof terraces to take in the views, clean rooms and helpful attentive service from the staff.

There wasn't anything wrong with the small room

Just be careful what room you book as we ended up with small room with two single beds.

but do be careful - some rooms only have a tiny balcony.

Are room was small (306) and didn’t have a balcony,

This lead to a very hot atmosphere in the small room and we struggled to keep cool.

Got a free upgrade on arrival (some of the rooms are a bit small), and the service continued to amaze us all week.

In terms of the accommodation itself, our room was on the small size with a small balcony that we could both sit on together (just),

Our room was quite small with twin beds and only one pillow each which was extremely hard, did get another one

I booked this hotel through Jet 2 and was a little concerned before hand as had read a few reviews saying the rooms were small and no wardrobe space.I was so relieved to find our room was amazing.

We asked if a kettle and tea and coffee could be provided in our room and this was done at a small daily charge.

The only disappointment if there is one is that the room we had was very small and there was limited wardrobe space if you could call it a wardrobe.

The only criticism we had was the room was small with no wardrobe just a shelf unit with a couple of square cubby holes, no drawers so we had to keep some clothes in our suitcase the bed was only a three quarter one.

The rooms vary in quality (see other reviews), we were unlucky and got one of the small rooms.

The Caravel has some limitations, rooms are small,room balconies mostly very small, the pool area is a bit restricted in space and can be a bit noisy, it's in a leafy suburb and a decent walk to most places

The room is small and not much storage space, the hotel is very clean and the swimming pool is really clean.

Hotel Caravel Sorrento

small room

Paid private parking on-site

Free High Speed Internet (WiFi)

Pool

Balcony covered in rust and green mould not suitable to sit out on .

Rooms,  especially bathrooms are grubby and dated.

The bath with overhead shower was dirty and a very old window was the only ventilation - I had to stand on a stool to open it.

The rooms are dated our bathroom flooded on the first use.

Electrical sockets not useable in the room and could only use the bathroom one.

The 3 nights they had the barbecue on they closed the two internal bars which meant if you were going out to dinner and wanted pre dinner drinks you had to use the pool bar drink from plastic tumblers and sit on chairs that were probably covered in sun tan lotion !!!

but repetitive and the service is good
The rooms are a let down - tired and in need of refurbishment - the bathrooms in particular.

but a very tired looking bathroom, the shower screen has seen better days and looks old and grubby.

NEGATIVES - patio table was rotten (see photo), rooms above (have no balcony's) dropped cigarettes from window which burnt a towel I left out to dry,  only the bathroom plug worked and needed to disconnect fridge to use this plug - told by receptionist when asked to move room, the hotel was full and unable to move rooms  + "buy an adaptor from shop", spoke to another guest who did this, and still didn't work.

I think in all honesty the rooms would look a lot better with just a new coat of white paint and perhaps some updated bathroom fittings.

The bathroom is dated and the hairdryer is useless so take your own ladies if you have long hair.

Bathroom was a little awkward to move around

Water bottles were supplied for the fridge and little sachets of shower gel in the bathroom.

Beautifully maintained art deco style hotel, yes the bathrooms are dated and rooms basic

The bathroom is definitely in need of an upgrade, the shower is a walk in bath with a shower curtain that sticks to you constantly, very annoying!

but the fact remains its basic rooms, the bathrooms are very basic and the decor definitely needs updating.

Drinks are very very poor quality and watered down.

The food on offer is cold and overall poor quality and shocking.

but hotel is an accident waiting to happen, poor maintenance, which is a shame as could be lovely .

Having done all inclusive twice previously and had poor experiences I was hoping to be impressed.

The drinks are of poor quality and served in plastic glasses.

Evening entertainment was poor and seemed to be every second or third night.

I agree with other “poor” reviews that the food is disappointing.

The impression I got was that the people who had given poor reviews, are just clearly difficult to please.

but very inconvenient & for our reporting to be ignored was pretty poor.

Selection of breakfast - poor, no any single yoghurt.

but I was feeling that I am saying in cheap student hostel somewhere in poor third country ; Carpets in corridors and in elevator are really outdated and dirty; Selection of breakfast - poor, no any single vegetable or fruit is available during summer season, that was really bad surprise.

Again though, poor old chef's budget must be down to the bone-even

but god the poor girl has her work cut out here for her!

but also not as bad as “poor”- rating: somewhere in the middle!

but it is Very jaded, dirty, poor quality rooms.

The dinning room and bar staff where good and food was ok ish, some of the outside catering equipment  left food open to the elements due to its poor state of repair .

Hygene is not high on the agenda with flies everywhere and alarming observations of poor practice and care of food handling even whilst simply serving drinks.

Towels were changed daily, and the room was kept clean throughout our stay.

Our room was spotlessly clean and with air conditioning that was practically silent when in use.

Hotel staff work extremely hard working, room was clean (plug sockets were all broken), towels fresh and fantastic location with a fantastic shuttle bus service into sorrento.

The hotel definitely not 4star cleanliness is a big issue room was clean

We found everything very clean and rooms are tended to daily by housekeeping.

The room was kept clean, towels changed daily, and beds made.

I have never had hotel rooms cleaned to such a high standard - thank you to Francesca and her team!

Francesca is such a happy lady and our room was spotless.

The room was clean, with TV and fridge, a nice balcony with views of the mountains.

The okay bits, rooms are clean, the hotel is clean and looked after its hard working staff,

the grounds are spotless as were the rooms.

Hotel was Very clean and rooms cleaned everyday.

Rooms clean and tidy basic and rustic, bed comfortable.

The rooms are immaculately clean, with the towels changed daily, and beds remade.

The staff were all really lovely, so helpful and our housekeeper was excellent she cleaned our room, changed our towels, replaced soap and shower gel sachets everyday.

The room was spotlessly made up whenever we needed.

The sun loungers around the pool area are  old and absolutely filthy covered in black mould stains !

Mould and dampness on walls hidden by dirty old furniture.

room number 4 was damp and had just had the damp patch on the wall repainted,  so when we moved in the paint was still wet.

fountain coming in to hotel looks nice until you look inside disgusting black water.

Corridors on arrival were dirty and glasses, cups, bottles and plates were left the hallway, pool bar area on a morning still had dirty glasses and cups from the night before, pool sunbeds were mouldy and not comfortable.

In need of a refurbishment ,rooms were tired and some smelt damp on the ground floor don't except bedroom number 4 it's dreadful!!!!

There was one lady in reception ranting to the rep about how the pool was disgusting, I am not sure what planet she was on,

Pool has chemicals put in about 7pm which is when the pool closes.

Our room at the front of the hotel was very close to a busy main road with constant traffic noise and exhaust fumes.

Jysr oh by how messy the general managers office is that he smokes in I cannot imagine the state of the kitchens that your food is prepared in.

The hotel itself had not had any money spent on up keep in years, the outside eating area, was filthy and there was broken plant pots and status all with sharp edges everywhere, alot of the area's around the hotel needed weeding and tidying up.

Our worst holiday - hotel is no way a 4* damp in the room needs a complete revamp both inside and out.

There was a really really bad smell in the corridors and landings and the carpet was filthy.

One of our rooms occupied by a family four was mould ridden, reeked of dampness and was cold at night.

For instance our room had mould on the ceiling and the bath plug didn’t drain out efficiently so you stand in dirty water when showering.

Firstly the hotel itself is amazing, the views are excellent and the rooms are spotlessly clean.

we had a nice size room that was always clean and comfortable.

The housekeeping team do a superb job of keeping the rooms spotless.

Great hotel, extra-ordinary breakfast, clean rooms (with great shower.

A small and beautiful family hotel, 29 large, spacious, well-maintained and clean rooms.

Rooms were clean and spacious with a superb view ( we had 2 rooms as there were 5 of us ) breakfast was good and also a couple of meals in the evening that we had were delicious!

Our room was clean and comfortable and the view was spectacular.

The rooms are clean and ours included a nice patio with a view.

The rooms are clean and ample, with balconies containing a couple of chairs and a small table.

For our three-week trip to Italy this May, we booked (5) different accommodations.

As a family of 4 we had a quadruple/family room with balcony and wonderful sea views across the Bay of Naples, room was spotless with queen bed and 2 singles

The rooms are clean, the shower is excellent, the bed was large and soft, the view over the Bay of Naples is breathtaking .

We stayed in Il nido for 4 nights and we loved it the room was so clean ,bed was comfortable and the view is breathtaking.

Rooms were clean and comfortable and the fridge was a bonus.

As my review title notes, prices were very fair, both for the hotel and onsite restaurant and bar, the views of the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius were outstanding and our room was clean and specious for European standards.

The reasonably sized rooms are clean and have all the necessary pieces to make the stay comfortable.

We had a sea view king room, the room was spotless, the king bed incredibly comfortable and the balcony was a huge bonus.

Decor and ambiance outdated albeit rooms are very clean, shower pressure strong, and views are wonderful.

We could not stay here as the odor permeated the room.

Ask about the Shortcut into town and burn off some of the Calories.

The negative: room smelled of smoke,  & the bed was not the most comfortable, I'm sure they would have changed my room if i requested it,  overall its good value.

Our only criticism is that people were allowed to smoke on here.

After we turned on the AC, the smell went away.

There's a musty smell to the hotel and rooms,

Somebody complained here about mouldy smell - if you are allergic to this, it´s better to avoid the inner side rooms (without view), maybe it´s due to this way of building, I didn´t find it disturbing.

We just opened the doors to the terrace when we got back to our room and this got rid of the smell.

When we entered this room we both could immediately sense the stench of mold in the room, and we declined the “better” room.

although it was a little damp down there.

Mold and mildew in bathroom and musty smell in room.

Second, there was some noticeable mould around the air-vent of the bathroom.

Our room smelled like cigarette smoke so we complained to the reception and got a free upgrade to a sea view room.

However, our bathroom smelled like sewers!

Unfortunately I could not stay here again, nor would I recommend it because of the prevalent mold everywhere.

The only reason this review isn't perfect is that the curtains, bed cover and table cloths had a smell of dust and there is no room for personal belongings in the bathroom.

I forgot from my last stay that the towels are thin and not what Americans are used to,

Could most definitely do with updating, and lacking in somewhere to hang towels up in the bathroom bizarrely.

Another minor niggle was that the towels were rather thin.

The towels are awful - they are actually thin pique blankets and not real towels.

The towels are not your typical USA towels

It should be noted that the towels are not American style.

The towels were the quality of thin, cheap tablecloths!

The shower towels are also terrible so if you have your own towels it is better to use it.

The towels are more like small sheets and the shower is adequate,

The towels are the paper thin waffle type which they need to replace with regular towels.

Now, the inconveniences, which are small in comparison to the beauties of this place: the room decor is a bit worn; the towels are inadequate (very thin woven cloth, not terry,

The towels are not the plush terry cloth variety I expected to find,

If you want plush towels, freezing cold AC and modern furnishings, this is not for you.

Horrid towels in the bathroom ( old-fashioned flat linen type ).

The towels for showering you're provided with aren't the best.

Don't be bothered by their unique bath towels.

Like other reviewers I wasn't crazy about the towels

Il Nido Hotel Sorrento

towel

Free breakfast

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!

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.

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.
