Grand Hotel Aminta

We wanted a hotel with breathtaking views away from the heart of town. This place fit the bill perfectly. Check in was easy. There was some brief explanation about the restaurant hours and their town shuttle times, but all of this information is on a brochure in your room. The rooms were bright and cheerful. They do require you to put your room key in a slot to get electricity to the room (so keep your curtains drawn if you're out to keep the room cool). AC worked fine. Bed was quite comfy. The view from our balcony....I could have stared at it all day. Heavenly. We did not use the pool, but it looked wonderful. There is also a hot tub on the other side of the pool area. There's a spacious poolside bar/lounge that serves sandwiches in the off-times between lunch and dinner. I highly recommended their limoncello spritzes! We had a fun time after dinner with the bar staff watching Napoli's football team on the bar TV. Breakfast is in the main dining area. It has an old school banquet hall vibe with white tablecloths and chair covers. The servers there were top notch. Breakfast had the usual hot breakfast foods and a massive table of all kinds of sweets (pastries, cakes, etc). Dinner was also delicious. The menu has section of chef's recommendations, and they were spot-on. The hotel has a shuttle to the heart of downtown Sorrento that runs every half hour, with breaks in the afternoon and around dinner. It picks you up across the street from the hotel. Getting the shuttle back to the hotel can be a bit confusing because other hotels pick up at the same spot, but all of the drivers are very friendly and helpful. In fact, one night a driver for another hotel's bus agreed to take us to the hotel because the hotel bus was either full or running behind. It seems like they all work together to help out the visitors. I highly recommend Grand Hotel Aminta for a quiet, relaxing visit to Sorrento.

Loved staying at this hotel! The staff is super helpful, the place is bright and beautiful (and clean!) and they have a wonderful breakfast buffet in the morning. They have a pool and hot tub and a pool bar where you can get a nice Aperol spritz in the evening and enjoy the panoramic views. Now this hotel is up in the hillside from Sorrento but they provide a shuttle bus every hour that drops you off near the shopping district in town. From there it's easy to get to the shops, restaurants and piers. We felt the extra travel up the hill was worth it because of the views and the fact that is was a little quieter in the late evenings. Especially thankful to Vittoria and Loren at the front desk - they were both amazing! Will 100% stay here again when I come back to Sorrento!

Great hotel. Staff were superb, especially the guys at the poolside bar. There were a couple of small issues like the terrible pizza at lunch and some mosaic tiles coming off the steps at the pool which we just put down to wear and tear at the end of a busy season. Breakfast was great and plenty of choice. Because it's a small hotel, all the guests got to know each other quite well and we ended up becoming good friends with some of them which just made our holiday all the more special. There is a free buss that takes you to back and forth from Sorrento and have read some reviews where people have moaned about the grumpy driver. Indeed, he did at first come across this way but after we made it our mission to make him laugh by the end of our stay (which we did), we discovered he's actually a really nice guy so please don't be too quick to judge. All on all, we can't recommend this place highly enough and we came home with some memories that will stay with us forever. Thanks to everyone involved.

We are still currently on our holiday at the Aminti, staying in room 409. The view from this room is absolutely stunning, the beds are very comfy, which I was a little worried about, as difficulties with my back. The breakfast is of a buffet style with lots of choice to cover everyone's needs, the pool is ideal for when you want a little chill out time, along with the hot tub. The evening meals are set 3 course but choice again for everyone. The hotel is set back up the hill with a shuttle bus which arrives when it says it does. The hotel is a little bit out, but the views you get from the hotel are simply breath taking, and there is a good path to walk up and down into the town which takes about 20 mins. The staff are super friendly and kind and nothing is to much for them. I would definitely recommend this hotel, and would definitely book here again when we return

We had a wonderful stay at the Grand Hotel Aminta, the staff were courteous, helpful and friendly. We had some lovely days out along the Amalfi coast, Capri, Pompeii and Sorrento town - the shuttle bus run by the hotel provides a great service and saves the walk back up the hill! The food was plentiful and the breakfast buffet was really good - the croissants were delicious! 😋 We would definitely stay here again - in fact I’m just checking the costs for next year.

My wife and I loved everything about Grand Hotel Aminta. The staff was helpful and friendly. The food was very good and the shuttle into the town was reliable and trustworthy with a great soundtrack! Highly recommend and would stay again!

We had 5 nights here. The pool was fantastic and to be able to use so early in the season because it was heated was a massive plus. The breakfasts were plentiful and varied and constantly being replenished and the service in the bar was second to none. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again
