Grand Hotel Royal

My daughter and I stayed at the Grand Hotel Royal in Sorrento from Aug 12 to Aug 15, 2025. We stayed in room 511. The room is very nice and large. The bathroom has double sinks and plenty of room for 2 women to lay out all of their toiletries. Surprisingly they had wash clothes along with the standard bath towels and hand towels. The property is very pretty with great views of Mt Vesuvius. The beach club has a nice deck and several levels to relax and enjoy the ocean views. I was sad though that the current of the water was a little too strong for me to truly enjoy the water as I like to just float and let the water relax me. Good idea to bring along a blow-up tube or floaty. I wish I had! They do offer a few floaties and pool noodles. Breakfast was really nice with a lot of selections. Overall this is a high level hotel with nice rooms and grounds.

Top 5 of the all around best hotel ever stayed The grounds are beautiful, pool area perfect, nice terrace with sea view, rooms spacious, comfortable, and so clean! It’s everything you could ask for in a 5 star hotel

We stayed at Grand Hotel Royal for the last 3 nights of an 11 night trip to Italy and it was a great way to finish our journey. The hotel is beautiful and offers a great blend of classic luxury with modern amenities. We had 2 rooms - one looked over the sea with incredible views and the other was a suite for our 3 adult kids that looked over the park on the town side of the hotel. Both rooms were large and very comfortable with nice renovated bathrooms. The property grounds are spectacular with views from just about every spot. The pool area offers plenty of lounge chairs and a resort style pool with waterfall, infinity edge, seating areas. Take the tunnel path or elevator down to the beach club for a full service beach bar & cafe, dock with lounges and cabana boys, and a refreshing swim. Great garden like bar overlooking the sea perfect for sunset cocktails. And the best part it’s a short 5 min walk into the center of historic Sorrento very convenient.

This hotel was even more beautiful than the photos online, the beautifully-manicured grounds are absolutely incredible. Walk to the outside terrace or the pool area and you are surrounded by lemon and orange trees and swaying, tall palms! The walk to the ocean level is equally beautiful as you wind down the cliff on a walkable path that feels like being in a cave with occasional open views of the bay of Naples. The hotel is beautiful even in the lobby and rooms. We had a prestige ocean front room with a direct view of Mt. Vesuvius which was so comfortable and clean. The bed are comfortable with high quality sheets and pillows. The hotel staff really tend to your every need. The daily breakfast was really good with a lot variety including an omelette bar and lunch at the restaurant by the pool also offered some delicious choices. This hotel really exceeded our expectations and it was sad to leave such a beautiful property.

The Grand Hotel Royal is immaculate, with beautiful rooms and exceptional waiting staff. However, several wedding parties during our first week created a lot of noise, making it hard to relax. The dinner dress code (long trousers for men) was not enforced, despite being told it would be. Also, the lunch and dinner menus were the same every day, and we only discovered the A La Carte option after questioning staff. A stunning hotel overall, but some inconsistencies took away from the 5-star experience.
