The mid-range, 26-room Hotel Residence Miramare is located in the quiet suburbs of Sorrento, yet close enough to town for guests to enjoy the action. Rooms have flat-screen TVs and air-conditioning. A free continental breakfast is served daily, and that same area serves as a bar later in the day. The lovely (albeit small) pool overlooks the Gulf of Naples, but as it only has chairs, guests will have to go to the solarium to sunbathe on loungers. Guests can walk to town in about 10 minutes, but should be aware that the hotel's location on a main road means walking alongside fast traffic. Those willing to pay extra to stay somewhere with a private beach should check out the Grand Hotel Ambasciatori.

The 142-room Bristol Hotel near the center of Sorrento is a popular choice for events, as well as for groups. It consists of three large concrete buildings; common areas are plain and slightly formal, with inlay marble floors and mirrored elevator doors. While the front of the hotel overlooks a street, the back abuts a cliffside overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. Many of the hotel’s facilities, including the multiple restaurants, pool, and rooftop bar, take full advantage of the spectacular views afforded by this position. Rooms are spacious and most provide sweeping views, but decor varies widely -- some are a touch dated and unfinished while others are appealing and modern.

“Location” is the element that comes up again and again in reviews of this fairly modest hotel; indeed, there are few places in Sorrento that are as centrally located. Hotel Michelangelo is located on the Corso Italia, one of the main roads leading in and out of Sorrento, and a short block away from the train station. Piazza Tasso, the town center, is a six-minute walk from the hotel. Rooms here are spotless, but they can be very small, somewhat basic, and potentially in need of repairs. The restaurant does not get high marks from most guests, though the proximity of the hotel to a variety of dining choices means it is easy to eat elsewhere. Generally, Hotel Michelangelo seems to be a solid point of departure for those wishing to be close to the action in Sorrento.

The 252-room Grand Hotel Vesuvio is a big, mid-range chain hotel a mile outside of Sorrento. The hotel offers beautiful views of the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. There’s a lovely garden with a wisteria covered pergola and a big outdoor swimming pool with a hot tub, snack bar, and children’s pool. The restaurant has panoramic views and a bar with terrace seating, but for an advertised four-star property, rooms are bland and furnishings are in need of an upgrade. The hotel has three meeting rooms and caters to organized groups. A more expensive, but highly reviewed option is the Best Western Hotel La Solaria with an extra-helpful staff and a fitness center.

The three-pearl Hotel Capri is a charming boutique, ideally located in the center of Sorrento. Several dining and shopping options are within close walking distance and the town's main square, Piazza Tasso, is just six minutes away on foot. The 39 rooms are modern, with bright interiors and amenities like flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi. The downside to the rooms is that not all of them have balconies, and the rooms facing the road can be quite noisy. Apart from the free buffet breakfast and small drink selection at the lobby bar, the hotel doesn't offer dining facilities. Outside, there's a medium sized swimming pool and lovely citrus garden. As an alternative, the nearby Europa Palace Grand Hotel has stunning sea views and a full restaurant.

Perched above the Valley of the Mills, the 65-room Hotel Plaza is an upscale, trendy property by Sorrento’s main square. For a small hotel, it squeezes in several attractive features including a chic rooftop terrace, a bar, and an infinity pool on the roof. A breakfast lounge, cafe, seven meeting rooms, and a modern gym are also on-site. Stylish rooms have colorful decor, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and furnished balconies in some. Coffeemakers, however, aren’t included, and rooms only have partial sea views. As an alternative, The Hotel Parco dei Principi, which also has a bigger pool and gym, offers spectacular views.

Hotel Eden is a budget hotel that's well-located in the heart of Sorrento, a three-minute walk to Piazza Tasso. It has 56 simple, somewhat dated rooms for one to five guests and include air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and modern bathrooms -- but things like safes and in-room Wi-Fi cost extra. This spot has lots of extra property features: a well-manicured garden and lawn, a small pool surrounded by loungers and with drink service, a small 24-hour lobby bar, and a restaurant with a half-board option and free breakfast buffet. It's a nice budget option for the location, which is mostly packed with higher pearl properties. The nearby Hotel Sorrento City is a cozier budget spot with a rooftop terrace, but there's no pool.
