Staff were friendly, extremely helpful. Loved the beach pickup .

The beds were slightly too firm for us, so we didn't sleep well, however that's a matter of personal choice. It would be nice if the bar opened at lunchtime rather than 4pm. But apart from that, we really enjoyed our stay and definitely hope to return in the next few years. Our room 208 was directly opposite the staff room for the chambermaids, so we were often woken at 7am by excited Italian chatter - made for a very authentic experience!

We loved the beautiful views straight down the little valley to the sea and the fact that the hotel was quite quirky with oriental ornaments on display. The birdsong was phenomenal and we also liked that we had a covered balcony, that let the sun in later in the day, so you didn't get burnt. We enjoyed using the jacuzzi and wished we'd booked it more than once. And you've got to try the limoncello spritz - so yum. The staff are all super helpful and friendly - we noticed a big difference both in the hotel and in Vico Equense itself between the attitude of people compared with those in Sorrento. We felt very welcome.

Overall, our stay at the hotel was pleasant. The breakfast was excellent, and the bed was very comfortable. However, there was one specific situation that caused us a lot of stress upon arrival. We were in two cars and had a lot of difficulty finding a place to park. After driving around for nearly an hour, I asked my wife to go into the hotel and start the check-in process to get information about the hotel’s parking. Unfortunately, the staff member on duty that night (an older gentleman) was inflexible and would only provide the parking information after we had presented the documents for all three guests staying in the room, which seemed unnecessary. My wife had our documents, but our friend’s documents were not available at that moment. Still, the staff member refused to tell us where the parking was located. Considering it was late (around 10 PM), and we were exhausted after a five-hour drive, all we wanted was to park and complete the check-in calmly. The requirement to finish the check-in before allowing us access to the parking lot was frustrating and delayed our evening even more. I understand that procedures are important, but I believe more flexibility and understanding from the staff would have made the experience much smoother. This was the only negative aspect of our stay, and we hope that situations like this can be handled better in the future.

Breakfast is not the 4 star hotel. Cleaner ladies didn’t close the door after cleaning Parking is not free

Amalfi coast, private beach

Stayed in July 2024

As we were staying for 10 nights the staff told us that we had been put into a large room so we had more than ample space to spread out and to store our belongings. The breakfast was the complete "continental" style, sufficient to not become repetitive. As with all aspects of the hotel the staff couldn't do enough to meet every requirement. The views across Marina were excellent from nearly every part of the hotel. The Oriente is less than 200 yards from the station that serves the entire Naples to Sorrento area. 15 minutes to Sorrento and 20 to Pompeii, making it an ideal location to visit the busier areas but stay in a quieter town. Quieter, but still offering a vibrant night life with a more than adequate range of restaurants and bars. Our private taxi transfers and the majority of our trips were arranged by the hotel staff, allowing us to fully plan our trip whilst saving us time - these did price match the local businesses. Highly recommended and excellent value for money.

Not easy to reach the room from the parking place nor to reach the beach from the room. But this is how it goes in this area because of the topography.

Crew was wonderful. The hotel is unique. Breakfast is lovely. Parking place is available (15 Euro/day).

Only minor item would be the breakfast buffet perhaps needing to be replenished after 8.30 am - e.g. I really like melon/fruit for breakfast but the popular fruit was not replaced when it ran out. Overall not a big issue at all

I was so pleasantly surprised with this hotel where I took my son to celebrate the end of his exams. We were in an economy twin room and whilst the room was basic, the terrace area outside with a view of the sea more than made up for it. The mattresses were amazing and I could not fault the cleanliness either. The communal areas are really nice too - e.g. the bar area where you overlook the sea. The staff are utterly amazing and a special mention goes to Carmela at Reception who helped me retrieve some lost items due to last minute lateness (my fault) when we checked out. The breakfast was good - perfectly decent, but perhaps the buffet could be replenished a bit more towards the end. If you go to breakfast before 8.30am it is not a problem, however. I never got a chance to visit the private beach as we were too busy. This is a hotel which provides excellent value for money with amazing views of of the sea! It is more or less opposite the train station where you can get trains to Naples and Sorrento, but there is no noise from the trains in the hotel itself. I would definitely recommend and go back.

They need to fumigate, we saw few ants in our room

The property is very well located if you plan to visit sorrento or Pompei, close to the train and bus station. The breakfast is very good. Fruit, croissants, oranges and eggs

The staff was fantastic. Even though there were some problems with the original booking the team made every effort to resolve it and help us out.

Breakfast - as far as we remember it was always the same.

Great view. In general cenral location. Accessibility by train ( to Naples, Sorrento +++). Nearby beach.

I didn't really like the breakfast. The eggs were soggy and gross. The bacon was undercooked and soggy. But on the bright side, they had some fresh fruit (hard to mess that up). Also, a good tea selection and fresh orange and pineapple juice.

I loved the view it was beautiful and the location was close to the other restaurants and shops. I had an exceptional time here and would definitely come back. The customer service was very professional as well.

It’s an old premise. The walls are cracking, sheets and towels are old, though clean. The beach is so so. Not very impressed. Regardless, the staff are amazing. Dinner and breakfast options were excellent!

It’s near to the train station and the central city
