Grand Hotel Aminta

We had a great experience at this hotel. It is located just outside of downtown Sorrento so it is a longer walk up hill to the hotel but they have a free shuttle service that runs every hour. The views are terrific which is where this hotel shines. There is also a pool and hot tub but the hot tub did not have enough solar power to operate during our stay.

Great hotel, only issue is the shuttle is never on time and to get from the hotel to main town in the middle of summer was a chore in itself, hotel staff were great and pool and views were great

Absolutely amazing hotel, the staff were very helpful and attentive. Our room had a view of the sea, mountains and in the distance Mount Vesuvius. Two double beds, very comfy. Hotel shuttle bus ran every 30mins or so drop off and pick up points were very clear. We had dinner at the hotel on the first night couldn't fault it at all. Portions were the right size and desserts yum. Room service was also good. Sandwiches and chips that's what you need after a day of walking and sightseeing. Drinks bar always full and the bar tenders happy to supply any drink you ask for even a straight monkey gin! We stayed 4 nights it was perfect. Definitely recommend.

Great location up overlooking Sorrento. About a 10 min drive to city center. There is a free hotel shuttle (which is a varying personal vehicle, it is not SITA public shuttle ($2 EU) we made that mistake as both pick/up drop off at shuttle sign locations. The shuttle car usually has a sign in the front window and runs basically every hour. They are prompt and at times a few minutes early. You can also walk (we didn’t) on a nice pathway and is @ 25 min to city center. Being up in a hill it was VERY windy sitting out on the room balcony in November, but still lovely. The property is beautiful with very professional bar and food service. Great selection of wines and the restaurant menu has a wonderful selection. Restaurant prices surprised me being much lower than I’d expected also. Food presentation was also spot on and everything was delicious. We left early one morning to our tour of Pompeii and the front desk prepared a box breakfast of muffins, apples and fruit drinks for us to take which was an unexpected treat. The gym is small and only open between @ 8am and 6:30pm. You must reserve the gym for only an hour at a time and in advance which was rather inconvenient but we made due. The beds were comfortable and have smart TV’s with Netflix, Prime and many other streaming services available which we found was not the case in many other hotels where we stayed. As an American who does not speak Italian this is nice. I recommend Aminta as a wonderful place to stay in Sorrento if you like to be away from the crowds below and do not mind walking or shuttling into town. I would stay again.

My parents and I have just returned from our second stay at the Grand Hotel Aminta and yet again our experience was excellent. We were especially impressed with our updated sea view rooms, the overall cleanliness of the hotel and the friendliness of the staff. All of the restaurant staff were exceptional, but we would like to extend a special thank you to Ernesto for being so friendly and putting up with my Mum’s questions (!) and to Lauren on reception for kindly helping us to plan our day trip to Ischia. We had a wonderful time and are already planning our return visit. Thank you for making our holiday so memorable. Natalie, Carol & Martin Dunn

I have recently returned from Sorrento where I stayed at the Grand Hotel Aminta for one week. Aminta hotel was beautiful. There was a lift. The hotel rep Bernie who made sure that our every request was met. She was a wonderful guide. Likewise friendly staff at the reception desk and in the dining room. Good food served by friendly and helpful waiters. My stay there was thoroughly enjoyable. For those going into Sorrento there is a courtesy bus to take you into the centre departing every hour on the hour. For me there was just one thing which provided a little hardship and that was that to arrive at reception there was an incline and then steps to take you to the entrance. For those with mobility issues this would be a problem. Nevertheless I would have no hesitation in staying there again.
