Description


Location. Consisting of a restored 19th-century stone villa and a contemporary building, Hotel Alpha is set back from the street behind terraced gardens, and lies 600 metres from the beach and less than two kilometres from Sorrento centre. Naples (Capodichino) Airport is 50 kilometers away, around 60 minutes by car.
Hotel Features. Surrounded by a sundeck planted with citrus trees are a family pool and a children's pool terraced above the street and screened by hedges and palm trees. Use of sun loungers and umbrellas is complimentary; towels are available for a surcharge. Guests can use the computer offering high-speed Internet access (surcharge), while wireless Internet (surcharge) is available in public areas.

In addition to serving a complimentary American buffet breakfast, the Alpha restaurant offers dinner service, including twice- weekly candlelit and Neapolitan party meals. A bamboo pool bar opens in warm-weather months.

Guestrooms. Hotel Alpha offers 67 air-conditioned guestrooms in two four-storey buildings. One is the 19th-century restored stone villa with ceramic-tile floors from the famed workshop of Vietri on the Amalfi Coast. The main building, opened in 1974, also includes similar decorative tiled floors. All guestrooms in both buildings open onto furnished balconies or terraces. Decor features 19th-century-style light-walnut furniture and a blue-and-white colour scheme. Wall-mounted flatscreen televisions offer satellite channels. Other amenities include safes, minibars, hair dryers, and shower/tub combinations.

Expert Tip. From Fuorimura Street, behind Tasso Square in the centre of Sorrento, is the best place to see a gorge called The Deep Valley of the Mills, where people lived from pre-historic times until the late 19th century. It was named for the flour and lumber mills that were once there.

Friendly hotel but you need to be fit to stay there as transport tricky

This is a lovely hotel but a little inconveniently situated as it is well over a mile from Sorrento and the bus service was quite erratic. One bus journey the bell wasn't working and the driver refused to stop the bus! It is also a few hundred metres from the railway station which had an infrequent service to Sorrento. We walked most of the time which was quite dangerous as there are no pavements for part of the way. Recycling and dustbins are emptied about 5am very noisily. Sorrento is very busy and many hotels are on the busy main road so we were glad to be in the next village. We were half board and the waiting staff in the hotel restaurant were absolutely fantastic. They were friendly, helpful and were ruled completely by the head waiter who seemed determined that every guest should receive exactly what they wanted. The food was excellent, the service perfect, friendly and enthusiastic. The swimming pool was excellent, slightly heated which can be unusual and beautifully clean and surrounded by lemon, orange and grapefruit trees so very pretty. There was also entertainment, including a gala dinner which was very special - they went to a great deal of trouble. We had a wonderful stay but the panoramic view, which cost extra, was a little disappointing

Excellent Hotel and Perfect Location

We found this hotel to be an ideal location for all locations around Sorrento. It is very close to the train station and also has good bus links. It is also easy walking distance from a lot of places.The hotel was immaculate and the staff are most welcoming, friendly and professional. Good food with a different menu every night. I would most definitely recommend Hotel Alpha

You'll find it hard to get a better hotel

My wife and I stayed in the Hotel Alpha in July of 2008. Our first impression on walking up the steps was of a clean and well run hotel. We however did not realise just how right we were. The pool was what I would class as a proper pool, in other words it was possible to use it for swimming. The interior of the hotel and the rooms were spotless and the staff were second to none. I honestly do not think I have met more friendly and helpful staff on any of my travels. Nothing was too much bother. The buffet breakfast has something for everyone and not only plenty of it but more importantly of a very high standard. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from the railway station and the bus stops only metres from the front entrance. Try this hotel, I am sure you will be impressed.
