Hotel Sorrento Apartments One (Sorrento, Italy)

The apartments are right in the centre of all the action. All you would need to see or want to do is within walking distance and the apartments are comfortable enough for a lengthy stay. For those who want more relaxation, the outdoor balconies and terraces will let you watch all the action. When you're tired, close the door for a soundproofed sleep.

The apartments are a big step up from a traditional hotel stay. The rooms are gorgeously decorated and have everything visitors might need or want. The full kitchens include cookware so guests never need to leave to find a restaurant. Plus, the bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and comfortable.

The reception staff, and wait staff, treat guests more like old friends come home for a visit. They go above and beyond a traditional welcome and work to ensure the entire stay is one of quality. The reception staff speaks English, which makes for a great source of information, Also, unlike other residence complexes, this one has daily cleaning service.

Although the stay is of quality, those nitpicky details can add up to a large irritation. Sometimes, toiletries are missing, the TV remote has disappeared, or utensils needed have gone missing. Also, the WiFi can be spotty.

The studio rooms and bathrooms are incredibly tiny. It's not really possible to spread out, so get ready for some cramped quarters. Overnight, this isn't a big deal, but it might be for those wanting a longer stay.

Although the rooms are soundproofed, some rooms have better locations than others. For those close to the bar or the nearby school, get ready for noise, especially late at night with music or during school recess times. You'll have some late nights or early mornings if you stay in those spots.
