Imperial Hotel Tramontano

Apologize if this is a second posting. First seems to have been lost. We spent two nights in room 331 which afforded us a stunning sea view complete with the sounds laughter and play coming from the beach. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The property is clean, old world charm and dated which was fine with us. Shower was fantastic! Two nights wasn???t enough to spend in Sorrento. Pool and gardens are beautiful. There is parking at the hotel! Yay. Although would not recommend driving in Sorrento. Agree with others on forum that breakfast is not particularly appetizing. Weak coffee and cold eggs. Yogurt, cereal and fruit is the go to. Even so, we enjoyed our time there.

We have just returned from the hotel. May I firstly say that although I had seen complaints about unfriendly staff in other reviews that was not our experience at all. Particular mention is due to the staff in the bar, the restaurant and the poolside bar al were friendly and helpful.. The food in the restaurant was in our experience well cooked and nicely presented. We found it good value compared to some alternatives in the town, Similarly drinks were relatively good value. The bar with its balcony overlooking the sea was rightly popular in the evenings. A note of caution regarding rooms. We were in room 125, this was a superior room in the basement with table and sofa, it was well furnished but a little dark and the sea view was slightly around the corner; that said it was well furnished large and not tatty. It was cool, air conditioning was barely required. In contrast before we left the staff let us use room 348 to change- which was kind of them - a standard sea view room. It was not a patch on ours being small and a little disappointing. I would say to any visitor to be sure about the type of room they are booking. There is quite a difference it seemed to me between various room types which reception effectively confirmed when we asked. Overall a lovely hotel in great location, we would be pleased to return agains without hesitation.

The room size was more than adequate for 2 people, the bathroom was very large, modern & clean. I thought that the price E350 per night for the middle of august overlooking the bay of Naples and the quality of the beautiful hotel was priced well. Buffet breakfast was included. The concierge we extremely charming and helpful. Sorrento is very touristy, however, considering that entire area (Positano, the Amalfi) it is very manageable.
