My wife and I will be staying in Sorrento for 4 nights in May 2014. While we usually like to have an apartment rental, we'll consider a hotel. Any recommendations that are central to day tripping to Pompeii, Naples, etc?
We would be looking for a 3-4 star hotel. Thanks!

We were in Sorrento in October and stayed in the Hotel Antiche Mura. Its in the RS Italy guidebook and, for 2013, the hotel offers a 15% discount with the book and some other stipulations. I don't know, of course, if the discount will remain in the 2014 guidebook. The hotel is very nice, has a wonderful breakfast including champagne, and is one block from the center of town. If my recollection is correct, it holds a 4-star rating. Have a good trip.

You could try the Magi House, they have both hotel rooms and small fully serviced apartments. Good location towards the seafront and short stroll to all that Sorrento has to offer. Book early as is very popular and accom goes fast.

I just posted this earlier on another post, but it still fits here.
We just stayed at Hotel Settimo Cielo in October for 5 nights for about 90 Euro's/night (higher if not paid in cash).It was right above Marina Grande on Via Capo and is an easy 10 minute walk to Sorrento's main street. The view is fantastic and in my opinion even better than the Minerva across the street, because Settimo Cielo is on the downhill side. Both places have great view. Hotel Settimo Cielo is a 3 star while the Minerva is 4 star and considerably more expensive. Hotel Settimo Cielo is family owned, has a wonderful breakfast with a view. I agree the furnishings are a little bit dated, but each unit has a balcony with a view. I spent more than one night with a glass of wine and my favorite Italian Opera songs. We would happily go back. Sorrento is a wonderful town. Enjoy your stay.

A few years ago we stayed at the hotel Mignon Mueble in Sorrento. Modest, immaculate, basic breakfast, very friendly staff. It is a few steps from the Corso and maybe 10 minutes to the train station, and easy walk to the port. We stayed several nights and it was very nice for both it's accommodations and convenient location. It was easy to access the trains, the boats and the town. Have a great time in beautiful Sorrento.

We've stayed at Hotel La Tonnarella on 3 separate trips and love it. It's also on via Capo and an easy and beautiful downhill walk into town. Easy to take bus back if tired at the end of the day. They have a private beach which we really enjoyed, great breakfast buffet, terraces, flowers, a wonderful restaurant and unbelievably amazing views.
