Hotel Cosmomare

Terrible hotel in an old building with a very old and smelly elevator. The reception is on the fifth floor and there are no facilities at all. Poor breakfast and very expensive parking available on request. The worst of all is the hotel owner who sometimes come in. Not friendly and very arrogant. She lies to protect her hotel and staff. This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in.

This family run hotel felt like a cozy home away from home. We were so impressed with the level of comfort and attention to detail. Angela, Stefania and others staffs were accommodating, friendly, and helpful. We booked a balcony room with breathtaking sea view which was spacious, beautiful and clean. We loved relaxing and winding at the balcony with drinks and cocktails after a long day excursion and sightseeing. Strongly recommend book your home away from home now with Cosmomare while you in Sorrento.

The hotel is fine if you don’t mind your room being 85° F. The AC doesn’t cool. The front desk said it works fine. Every other hotel I’ve stayed at in Italy has had perfect AC, so this hotel just doesn’t invest in the things that matter. Oh, and the toilet is next to a wall so I had to use the bathroom in the lobby

I enjoyed my stay at Hotel Cosmomare. The location is great! I had a balcony, and I just opened stepped outside and was created with the most incredible views. The location is good too, you’re about a 10 min walk to the station and 15 min to the downtown of Sorrento. Additionally, you’re a 10 min walk to the port of Piano Di Sorrento, so it’s easy if you plan a day trip to Capri or Positano by boat. Breakfast was a straightforward continental breakfast (Italians are not big on breakfast like the Americans). Thank you Valeria and staff for your hospitality!

We stayed here in mid august 2023 as a couple. We arrived by Ferry in Sorrento and got a taxi nearby which took approx 15 mins. Upon arrival, the receptionist was very welcoming and provided us with lots of useful local information which came in very handy over the coming days. Our room was very comfortable (with the exception of the mattress which was a little hard for our taste). Views from the balcony were spectacular and we had everything we needed in the room. Breakfast was simple but tasty and, again, the breakfast room had a wonderful view over the bay of Naples. The hotel was in an excellent position - we took a short walk to the elevator which takes you down to the marina where there are a few good restaurants which we really enjoyed. Fracatell was particularly good (food and wine) however the pizza restaurant on the pier not so much - if you do go there stay away from the main menu and stick to the ‘traditional’ section. The hotel was close to Sorrento - we caught the train which was a 15 min walk from the hotel (could have been shorter had it not been so hot!). This only cost €1.60 each way and was easy to do. When arriving in Sorrento, we explored the old town and beach clubs which were €50 a day for a couple with a bed each and umbrella. Well worth it though for a really amazing swimming experience - the setting is amazing and it felt really safe. Plus they serve food and drinks there. On our last day we went to Piano Di Sorrento and hired a couple of beds there - which was much cheaper at €30 for the day. Equally as beautiful and probably slightly more child friendly than Sorrento. At the end of our stay we got the train to Naples (which wasn’t a great experience - expect no air-con or seating, plus a jam packed train). Although we chose this as it was significantly cheaper than other options at €8pp. We didn’t do any excursions - only because we were happy with what we had immediately available to us. There is plenty to explore locally. All in all, a very amazing experience and would 100% recommend this hotel to a friend. Very well located in a quiet location with enough at your fingertips and easy to get into the busier Sorrento.
