Hotel Sole

After reading some of the reviews prior to us arriving at this hotel I was a little nervous at what to expect
I can only sum this up by saying
Amazing staff who can't do enough for you, a credit to the hotel
Beautiful views, you couldn't get nicer views of the island
Nice breakfast
Clean rooms with plenty of space and lovely balcony
Perfect location for restaurants, bars and public transport

We feel that TUI lead us up the garden path by letting us book this hotel. Firstly the annex is 300 yards away from the hotel proper which means a 300 yd walk along a main road to have breakfast.
The annex balcony shown on the TUI page is not the annex it’s actually the main hotel rooftop bar. No emergency lighting only one fire extinguisher to serve 5-6 rooms and that is placed at the front door of the entrance to the annex. Wet towel in our room on arrival dirt on flat surfaces and the fact that these rooms are in a residential block are just a few of the issues. Add to that for our week long stay we had no electricity for 17 hours and no hot water for three days which was unacceptable.
During the no power day our metal electric powered blinds were in the down position which given the potential fire issues would make escaping a fire almost impossible.
TUI needs to get this place off their books to avoid other folks being misled and miss sold a holiday here.

Booked with TUI. Expected the annex to be next door it’s not it’s down the road it’s in an apartment block how does TUI even sell this holiday ! Do not book her what a dump complainec first night as power went on the reception said the whole building has no power we said how come there light when entering and the lifts working 2nd night no hot water the boiler broke yet agin reception actually came to this dump of a room and said no hot water till tomorrow I adjective to move twice to there a joining hotel it was a no you could come for a shower but to be honest did not fancy working 250 yards there and have to come back , askec to see the TUI rep waiting let’s see what goes wrong today do not book this hotel as you won’t get to stay in there they but you in a apartment block which is not the best

Perfect base to explore the Amalfi Coast!
Room was basic but clean. Breakfast was fresh and served with amazing views!
Food and drink selection was fantastic.
Great discount to use the beach club.
Overall a brilliant location to explore the local area, great food & helpful and friendly staff!

This is not a hotel it is 2 floors of rooms above residential flats. The worst breakfast I’ve ever had, all the food is cheap processed food, tinned fruit, cheap bread, cheap yogurts, poor choice, dirty cups and cutlery and birds on the tables and food!! The lift holds 3 people max and is not fit for purpose. The hotel is advertised with private beach but you need to pay 10 euros each to lie on a sun bed in a very cramped area on a shingle beach. We were packed in like sardines to make most of the limited space. You also pay more at the weekend, a complete and utter rip off, didn’t go back after first day. Dinner at night was fine but on a half board basis expected at least free water but no, had to pay for bottled tap water, total joke. We paid plenty for this hotel but it certainly wasn’t worth the money. There are much better hotels in Maiori. Fortunately I got one of the more modern rooms but my son got an older room which was horrific, totally outdated and grubby looking so it’s just your luck which room you get. Do not come to this hotel, you will be disappointed and the Tui rep. was useless in dealing with my complaints.

Фантастическое по красоте место на берегу моря. Первые несколько ночей у нас был семейный номер с боковым видом на море и город - невероятный вид и закаты с террасы. Очень приветливый персонал. А еще понравился внизу ресторанчик, все вкусно и удобно с ребёнком. На террасе на верху утром накрывали очень приятные завтраки с прекрасным видом. С радостью вернулась бы еще в этот отель, городок и регион. Из города очень удобно путешествовать по близлежащим красотам. Посетили Равелло и Амальфи-Позитано. Рекомендуем на корабликах. Живописно!

Great Brekky with a sensational view

Personel çok anlayışlı ve güleryüzlü. Kesinlikle bir daha giderim

La amabilidad de todo el personal.

Really liked the location and room was comfortable and clean with a nice balcony.

Great location set in beautiful Maiori. Room basic but very comfortable bed/pillows. Shower a tad temperamental but manageable. Staff all so pleasant , respectful and helpful. My room on 6th floor had massive balcony with side sea/town view which was much better than front sea-facing. Excellent aircon and controlled in-room and not by reception as stated in a former post.
Breakfast was adequate with usual fare. I was half board : limited choice each day but the quality of the food was simply excellent and a match for the other restaurants I dined in ; not only Maiori but in Amalfi , Salerno and Positano.
Bus stop literally outside hotel with ferry port a 10min walk. Great regular ferry services to Salerno, Vietri, Cetara, Amalfi and Positano. Ferry also available to Capri. Ticket office on the Front as you walk towards Port. Nice easy 15min walk along front into neighbouring village of Minori...I say easy...Road not pedestrianised so caution advised.
You'll find prices generally lower in Maiori compared with Amalfi and Positano.
Sole does not have a pool but is beach-front and has an associated beach club across the road. This is very expensive . As advised by hotel I mentioned i was resident so as to facilitate a discount. I was quoted €50 for lounger and umbrella for unlimited time. Not a chance !! I did however pay €30 because my bed was further from front. Club has bar with food , showers and toilets and I imagine that price is competitive with the many private beach clubs along the entire stretch. But come on Sole...troppo caro !
Great stay.

My wife and I stayed in this wonderful hotel for two weeks. The staff were excellent and made you feel welcome. We had bed and breakfast which suited us as we liked going out for dinner at night. On the occasions that we ate in the hotel restaurant Alfonso was a very friendly and entertaining host! Special mentions for Rossella and Cristina who were wonderful on the front desk! Also Mrs Pinar who was our breakfast angel. Once again thanks to everyone at the hotel for making our stay truly wonderful!

The hotel location is very good - close to beach, town, bus, ferry, shops, and restaurants.

There is a lovely roof terrace with stunning views of the coast. You can have drinks here in the evening and breakfast is served here too.

The restaurant is situated on the ground floor and is very popular. We ate there and the food was good.

There were unfortunately some negatives too. The hotel rooms are located on 5th and 6th floors only, above some residential flats. The rooms are accessed by a tiny, very slow lift. We think residential flats have been converted into hotel rooms.

When we arrived we were disappointed with our room. It has a modern bathroom but the bedroom is well overdue a makeover and was a bit grim. There’s not enough storage space and we had to be creative! The balcony is lovely with views of the sea.

Breakfast has the essentials but is quite basic.

You can hire beds on the Hotel Sole lido opposite but they are very expensive and prices depend on which row you choose - 40 euros for two beds and an umbrella per day for front row!

The location is good for visiting other areas of the Amalfi coast.

The staff are very pleasant, friendly and helpful.

Overall we have enjoyed our holiday but wouldn’t stay here again.

Everything was amazing! Location, staff, room, cleanliness! The room was beautiful and the view was breathtaking

The hotel was lovely . Our room was fantastic , very spacious with stunning views of Maiori .
The food was out of this world, so tasty and reason prices .
The cocktail bar was stunning , again lovely views and the waiter named Walter , was kind , professional and very knowledgeable with his cocktails . They tasted amazing .
I would definitely come back to this lovely place .

Perfect location in front of the beach, close to bus stop and restaurants. The breakfast is at the terrace with a beautiful view of the sea.

Management by owners and family. Professional and relaxed at the same time. Small, comfortable with taste.
Good modern restaurant, professional proper cooking.
Rooftop is fantastic anytime of the day, but even more so in the evening and at night. The bar there has quite a good cocktail selection.

Great hotel, great location, great staff. Bed was a timy bit hard for our liking but thats personal prefence. They still get 5 stars. We would definitely recommend this hotel. We paid for the room with the balcony looking out over the ocean.
