I would suggest that people arriving from Napoli airport are told to take the Hydrofoil to Sorrento as its the nicest way to arrive. ... I would recommend this hotel. The staff were very helpful and made us feel very welcome. ... We thought there was a swimming pool and there wasn't one. Not sure if that was on the website or not. ... Very romantic and a stunning location

We really loved our stay at the Hotel Syrene in Sorrento. The reception desk was extremely helpful and contacted another hotel for us to change a reservation. We greatly appreciate that. ... We loved this hotel. It was expensive, but the view and location were superb! We originally booked it for two nights, however, upon arrival we added an additional night. ... Very efficient! ... Many great restaurants in walking distant. A large shopping area just steps away with wonderful little shops.
... I said the views were magnificent, the location was wonderful, and we had a relaxing and marvelous time there. Would definitely go back!

Our arrival experience was excellent. Someone took our car to be parked and our luggage was brought up to our hotel. ... The hotel was fabulous. Better than I expected. We were upgraded to a beautiful suite with a large terrace overlooking the Bay of Naples. Everyone at the hotel was polite and helpful at all times. Great hotel. I would recommend it to anyone going to Sorrento. ... Just wonderful. Can't say anything bad about this hotel. ... Nothing ... The hotel is beautiful and overlooking the Bay of Naples. Beautiful common areas, lovely breakfast room. Breakfast was very good and everyone pleasant. Wondeful place to stay in Sorrento

The streets in Sorrento were narrow and busy with street names difficult to detect. We found our way to the hotel by following the hotel signs at most intersections. ... The room was lovely with a spectacular view of the Bay of Naples. The bath room, however, was quite small. ... Check out was smooth, quick and the rented car was brought and loaded immediately by friendly staff. ... Lovely setting, great views of the bay from the room. Interesting facility with lots of public rooms. Panoramic view from the dinning room which had a great breakfasts.

Accomodation was not as large as I had been led to believe from the descriptions on the website. ... As above - I did not consider the size of the room to be of 'junior suite' standard. ... Staff helpfully arranged a taxi to take us to the station. ... Very nice hotel in perfect location, however, rooms are not very big. We had a junior suite although I did not consider the size of the room to be 'junior suite' proportions. However, the view from the balconies makes up for the room size. There was a lack of information available on excursions/activities and the staff were not particularly forthcoming with such information.

The only difficulty we had finding the hotel was that the name read 'Bellevue de la Syrene' so we thought we had the wrong hotel. The people were incredible, the property was spectacular. Our room was nice, clean a little moderate compared to the property itself. Very friendly staff, and they had wine and a welcome letter waiting for us in our room! A great find! ... The property was better than expeced from the website. The rooms were a little moderate compared to how beautiful the hotel property itself was, but nothing to complain about- the property seemed 5 star and the rooms felt 3-4 star! ... Live piano music in an exquisite room in the evenings, very friendly staff at all times. Spectacular views, outside dining was absolutely beautiful and romantic. ... A great find! Incredible views, breathtaking. Friendly staff, dining on the patio was so very beautiful or having an evening after dinner drink, romantic. Wonderful location, good value. The rooms seemed more like the description on the web, yet the property was more impressive.

We had specifically reserved a balcony room with a sea view, and had communicated directly with the hotel staff to assure a room with a good view (That is why we chose this hotel). We were given a room on the top floor with an angled ceiling and an obstructed view from a small terrace, not a balcony. We had to go back to the front desk and insist on a room with out an obstructed view. We were accomodated, but couldn't help feeling slighted because the hotel was not very busy, and there were plenty of better rooms available. ... The hotel was stunning. More beautiful than any pictures could show. The indoor pool was closed, but o no matter to us. ... Great view, beautiful hotel, good location, reasonably priced, but a bit of poor attitude on the part of the front desk. I would stay there again, but would be clear on what room I expected. The piano player in the bar is far too good to be playing in a hotel bar.

We pulled into the hotel quite late due to holiday traffic but we were welcomed immediately, the car was unloaded and parked and we were shown to our room. ... The hotel was more beautiful than we had imagined. We loved sitting on the many balconies and in the various sitting rooms and exploring the Roman bath area. The breakfasts were delicious, the best by far of anywhere we stayed. We absolutely loved our room, with the doors that opened up to a gorgeous view of the Med. and surrounding hills.

Transfer pre-arranged from the airport with the Hotel by e-mail. Cab was waiting with name board cost was pre-agreed, it worked very well. ... Very Grand Hotel with stunning veiws across the bay of Naples, our room was a superior with sea veiw and was exactly that. Only negative comment I can give was our bedroom is a mezzanine over the lounge & the control of temperature could only be made from reception--no room thermostat.However not all room formats are as ours was. ... All went as it should ... Maybe the huge frontage, offering those veiws over the bay. ... An older Hotel, built very Grandly around 1830. Very spacious with Marble everywhere & period decoration tastefully adorning the common areas. Definitely get a room with a balcony & sea veiw, however this is not for the budget conscious, but we thought value for money.

we stayed in lower level, nice room, great view, but they were doing some construction down there so we were woken up each morning to sanding drywall. ... We went in April, weather was still a little chilly. I can't imagine how nice it would be in the summer. Great views of Mt. Vesuvius and the entire Bay of Naples. Very nice.

They showed us to our room upon arrival, and we were dissappointed. It was a small standard room with no balcony. After contacting the desk & explaining this is not what we had requested or expected for the price (we were wondering if they might be trying to pull one over on us}. The manager showed us a new room which was beautiful, just as the pictures on your sight advertised. They also sent us a bottle of champagne. Overall we were very pleased with our stay ... This was the perfect Hotel to cap off our trip to Italy. We stayed only 2 nights & I told my husband I wish we could stay another week. The view from our room was beautiful, & the staff extra friendly.

Friendly relaxed and welcoming ... The Hotel had been recommended to us by a friend before we looked at the Website so we had a good idea of what it would be like.

Nice welcome by car parker - very efficient and friendly ... Lovely location in the centre of Sorrento but still extremely peaceful. No better place than their verandah for a drink. Try the lift down to the beach for a fatastic dip in the sea and a true sorrento experience.

We got a sea view king room as requested, however the room was down in the area below the terrace, which made us feel like we were in a dungeon. We love the Bellevue Syrene (I have stayed there before), but I would not want to stay in that area of the hotel again. The main bldg. of the hotel is much nicer. ... The terrace at night is very beautiful, particularly when they have live music. As I mentioned above, we were not aware of the 'dungeon type' rooms below the terrace when we booked, and had we known, would have requested a room in the main building. ... Beautiful, romantic waterfront hotel.

We didn't us the online directions. we took a cab. ... The only negative about the hotel was the noise. we were awaken during the night on a number of occasions due to garbage collection, Vespas, etc. ... The staff was helpful in calling our next destination to inform them of our arrival time. ... The view at breakfast is breathtaking. ... Great location, great view. Decent staff. Get a room on the ocean side if you want quiet.

We hadn't realised we'd arrived before the official check-in time, so we were given a welcome cocktail on the terrace bar. However we were still kept waiting for a good 10/15 minutes beyond 2pm, which was the official earliest check-in time.
Great that we were met and helped with our bags straight away, which were then held for us until we could check in and go to our room. ... Good hotel in a fantastic location - you MUST have a sea view over the Bay of Naples - settle for no other. Most of the staff and very polite, friendly and helpful, but a couple ccould smile more and appear more approachable (one girl on reception point blank ignored us one day until she'd spoken to a colleague in Italian, in front of us, without a word of apology or excuse me. However she was the only one, everyone else great.
Lovely suite, good food, if a little picey. Terrace bar appetisers/starters are on the large size so be warned if you've ordered a good sized main - you won't finish one of them!

Not very car friendly - there is limited space to park when you arrive and then takes time to get luggage etc sorted beacuse of small drive way. And we visited during a quiet period of the year. Summer would be bad. ... Front desk staff polite and friendly however more 'reactive' rather than 'pro active'. They could have taken more of an interest in engaging in discussion about the area, good places to visit and restaurants to eat at. ... A wedding party was checking in so the front desk staff were a little distracted ... Very polished smart property in a great private location. Staff polite but not overly friendly and pro-active.

We had a great experience upon checking in. The only thing that we regret is that upon our arrival, it wasn't made clear that breakfast was included with our stay, so we didn't get to take advantage of the wonderful breakfast until our last day. ... We were enchanted by the 'Amore Suite'. We loved the fresco paintings of the room and the beautiful view from our balcony. The staff were wonderful and we enjoyed our stay immensely at Hotel Bellevue Syrene. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to stay in Sorrento! ... The bathrooms, although pretty and quaint had some issues with the showers. Otherwise, we loved our suite. ... Hotel Bellevue Syrene is an extraordinary hotel with a stunning view of the entire Bay of Naples. It is situated perfectly upon the cliffs and within walking distance to great shopping, restaurants, and the best gelataria: Davide's Gelateria. The staff at the Hotel were truly wonderful and made our stay picture-perfect for our honeymoon.

On Saturday the Hotel was hosting many different events such as wedding receptions, meetings, etc. The Cocktail Lounge was not available and the evening Dining Room was restricted to a small space and not available until late. No prior communication of this situation was made to the hotel residents. ... The various Lounge and Dining hours need to be clarified. ... Clean, quiet, and a lovely view.

The Hotel staff were all fantastic and extremely welcoming, friendly and efficient ... We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bellevue Syrene and would stay there again. However we were disappointed that the Spa facility was closed during our stay. ... Friendly and efficient ... The Spa facility is not open at present and was the only downside of our stay, as we would have liked to have tried this facility ... Magical!
