A lovely hotel in Sorrento with incredible views
Pros:

Views that are unmatched overlooking the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. The rooms were large and very clean and comfortable. The balcony was spacious with two chairs and a table. The included breakfast was plentiful and other meals at the restaurant were delicious. What really impressed us were the staff who were friendly and efficient and couldn’t do enough for you. Walk into town took about ten minutes downhill. Of course coming back meant uphill but not bad even for us seniors. Overall, highly recommend this wonderful hotel.

Wonderful stay in a classic hotel!
Pros:

My girlfriend and I stayed for 3 nights at this classic and beautiful hotel in late April, so it wasn't super croweded or hot yet in Sorrento. From the train station, you have to walk through the busy center of town and a narrow sidewalk up the hill, but it is manageable without a taxi/bus if you don't have large roller bags. We had a room with a balcony on the 2nd floor (or 3rd floor for some). The room was very spacious, clean, and it had an amazing view. The minibar was also stocked. Seriously, what a view, which you can also enjoy anytime from the main terrace even if you happen to get an attic room or one without a balcony. However, keep in mind that the rooms face a main roadway, which has traffic throughout the evening, so noise may be a factor for some guests if they are used to more quiet living conditions. Earplugs would solve that. You may be able to avoid this by getting an attic room or the priciest room options. During our stay, we used the pool and bar upstairs, which was really nice and relaxing. Towels are provided. There are lots of places to sit and read or enjoy a glass of wine, etc. Our only real complaint about the hotel is that we didn't like the coffee at all, which came from the automatic machine in the dining room. It had a strang taste and there were always grounds at the bottom. Otherwise, the service was excellent, and the food (we had breakfast and 1 dinner at the hotel during our stay) was decent. We also had a nice time chatting with the bartender after dinner with homemade limoncello. We were treated really well and the staff was very helpful in meeting our requets and needs. They also helped us book activities in the area. Overall, we highly recommend this one to anybody! If you don't have the budget for the more expensive rooms, the lower-priced options are of good value.

Ideal Sorrento Location
Pros:

“Hotel Minerva was absolutely stunning. The views were breathtaking, and the location couldn’t be better—just a short walk to the city center. The staff were incredibly attentive and helpful, and by the end of our stay, many truly felt like friends. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and the grounds were beautifully maintained and spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”

Urlaub gelungen, das Hotel kann man weiterempfehlen.
Pros:

Von der Terrasse aus unbeschreiblich schöne Aussicht auf der Bucht von Napoli und dem Vesuv. Wir hatten nur Zimmer mit Frühstück reserviert, haben jedoch jeden Abend im Hotel gegessen. Die Gerichte waren ausgezeichnet.
Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Der Barman gab uns auch gute Tips für Besichtigungen und Ausflüge.

Cons:

Nach den Ausflügen hätten wir gegen abends noch gerne vom Pool profitiert. Er war jedoch schon um 17 Uhr geschlossen.

Spectacular!!
Pros:

What a fabulous time we had staying at this hotel.
Not only is the hotel in the perfect position for exploring Sorrento and surrounding areas... But the view was breathtaking! I could of just sat looking at the Gulf of naples and view of mount vesuvius for the entire holiday!
The staff literally couldn't do enough for us, nothing was to much trouble. Im a coeliac and they ensured that I was catered for. Every meal was hot and very delicious accompanied by a wonderful service.
Hotel was a 10 minute walk into the centre of Sorrento which was perfect for us. The train station, bus station and harbour were all close by which made it super easy for exploring.
Would recommend to all who want to stay in sorrento.Thankyou fur a wonderful holiday ❤️

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the staff are your biggest asset.
Pros:

Breakfast was quite good but could have had more choice for hot foods. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. The bathroom could have had more toiletries such as conditioner, body lotion, vanity kits that one would expect from a hotel costing €500 per night. Balcony views were stunning.

Cons:

We would have expected fresh complimentary bottles of water every day.
