Elina was awesome for me, thank you! It was a short lil walk to the lift if needed, I took a lot of ferries, so it worked out very well. Great window views, and the hot lil circle town square was very close to explore if wanted. Great location Ciao

Great hotel. Pictures do not do it justice. We were pleasantly surprised in how nice this hotel is. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Rooms were super cute and clean. I loved the boutique feel of the hotel. Had wine on the rooftop with a beautiful sea view. Had an amazing dinner at the on site restaurant where restaurant staff were so attentive providing amazing table side service. Location is everything, and Il Faro has it. Located right in front of the port and easy access to ferries, taxis and public bus. 5 minutes walk up the road to the top of the city center. Can be a little noisy at night, but it’s just the hustle and bustle of the town which I love. Didn’t bother us.

What a great hotel down beside the harbour nice and handy for early morning checking in for boat trips.
Lovely setting looking out to see and staff were friendly and helpful.
Bit of a walk up the steps to get to the square were there is an abundance of eateries and shops but there is a shuttle bus that also runs.

Started a little rough because one of our rooms was flooded and very dirty, but got much better after that. The manager gave us a much better room. The staff was quite helpful. The rooms were clean and spacious. Location was amazing. Only complaint was that the rooms got very damp due to the proximity to the sea. Not being able to leave the AC on all day made it hard to get that dampness out. Otherwise a great experience.

The proximity to the ferry boat for Capri was excellent. We discovered an elevator (5 euros, but you can also take steps) to the upper town for more restaurants and shopping options.

The property was clean, room was nicely decorated, loved the pool area and it is located within close proximity to ferrys that go to Amalfi Coast therefore, very convenient. However, the amount of steps to get down to the hotel and then to go up when you want to walk and explore Sorrento are not only overwhelming at first glance but quite a workout especially when bringing luggage as there is no one to assist or any form of transportation provided by hotel to get you down there or up and out when leaving. At night and early morning the walk up to the town by the steps is also not well lit. Also, lacked professionalism as two female employees were arguing and screaming at one another while we were in our room. It was not only uncomfortable but unpleasant.

The bathroom has mold on the shower doors. The room is clostropobic..way too small, limited storage. We were in a corner. Everytime we opened our door it was stuck and sounded like our neighbors was going to open.

Our family loved the stay at this hotel which is almost a boutique hotel. Morning breakfast was very good. Staff was so nice and helpful. Restaurants in the area were good. We liked being near the water and could get up top of the cliff easily with auto, walking, or the lift. The Skyline rooftop bar was awesome. Beautiful. Relaxing. Great passion cocktail. Raphael is awesome!

A 1star hotel that says it's 3.5 stara
Towels were not replace 1st day nor was room made up. Air conditioning did not work until the 3rd night. Refrigerator did not work and was replaced the 3rd night.
No bell man to help with luggage and we had to walk the luggage up and down a total of 7 steps. Breakfast was very limited, but the Americano coffee and Cafe Latte were soso.

Location was by the wharf sea views and a couple of dining options. Steep stairs to reach the top and access to town however there is a lift you can pay to use Breakfast area and selection was good. Great location for catching ferries or arranging tours
