Great location - 15min walk into Sorrento itself.

Rooms were great, if a little small for a family of 4 .

Excellent air con

Pool area was lovely, but very expensive ( a bottle of beer was 3 euro more than buying at the bar in the hotel) and the pool discoloured our swimwear

Absolutely LOVED THIS HOTEL!!! although the guest rooms were a little compact, the service was EXCELLENT, breakfast and the two dinners were amazing! The food was like an Italian home cooked meal. The hotel is very clean and well located! If you get a chance and meet Tiziana she is an amazing cook and a beautiful person inside and out. This hotel will not disappoint you.

Great Hotel for Sorrento and Amalfi Coast

This is a lovely hotel with great staff. Our room was really nice on 3rd floor overlooking the pool area. Its easy walking distance down to the main town and the recommendations were excellent as were the breakfasts.
Remember though this is a busy place so rooms on the road side will have road noise and ours at the rear did have the noise of the local dogs, but this shouldn't deter you from staying. Do try the Il Leone Rosso (Red Lion) restaurant it was excellent and great value and about a 10 minute walk from the hotel.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!!! We stayed at hotel gardenia for three nights in Sorrento during our travel to the Amalfi coast. We booked an airport transfer to take us from the Naples airport to the hotel and was told a price over a month beforehand. Our flight was delayed two hours and we emailed the hotel letting them know. We also provided the hotel with our flight info as asked earlier. apparently no one works at the front desk, answers emails overnight or tracks the flight like every other hotel does. We were told we had a 100 extra euro fee for a waiting time which was never spoke about before. when asking the hotel night manager at the front desk about it he was very nasty. DO NOT STAY HERE DO NOT BOOK YOUR TRANSPORTATION HERE!

They also require a key in place to keep the air conditioning on. They take the key away from you when you leave never allowing the room to get comfortable. The shower floods, the bathroom smells like sewage and the breakfast in the morning is awful. You also aren’t allowed to bring an iron in the room. If you need to iron clothes it must be done in a small room behind the bar in the lobby. DO NOT BOOK HERE.

The only drawback was there was a bar near by and you could here the band playing despite the closed windows but I believe that happens in a lot of hotels in Europe.

It was our first time staying at this lovely hotel we were so overwhelmed by how friendly the owners of the hotel are and staff they greet you like family. The hotel is in a great location to all Sorrento has to offer. We had a wonderful room upgrade for my birthday with fantastic views thank you again. All the reception staff were lovely a big thank you to Simona who really helped us out when our taxi to the airport got cancelled when we return next year we will book directly through the hotel for transfers to the airport. Tiziana who works behind makes the best cocktails and is such a ray of sunshine she always greets you with a big smile and is super friendly. All the staff at the hotel work really hard to make your time there special. Breakfast is fresh and lots on offer to set you up for the day of exploring Sorrento or just sitting by the the lovely pool area. Thank you again for making our time they’re very special and we look forward to seeing you all again there next year if not sooner.

Staff (Simona and Emanuella) were helpful and responsive even prior to our stay, arranging for ours transit from Naples. The room was nice and the breakfast buffet was fantastic. Lots of options! We hung by the pool a couple of time - plenty of places to sit and also drinks and snacks are sold. The terrace on the top has 3 or so tables and chairs. I came up to see the sunset and the bay of naples (with Mt Vesuvius) at night - just a beautiful view.
Sorrento can be loud and noisy - our room had a balcony facing the main road. We knew that coming in so were not bothered.
Best of all is the location - within 15 minutes walk to the train/bus station where we caught the public bus to Positano. Also the hotel is within 15 minutes walk to the older town square where all the restaurants and shops are.

A convenient distance from the heart of Sorento. Hotel has a beautiful pool that the family will enjoy. A warning however in that the family quad is a not a true quad as it is a typical room for 2 with double bed and an added roll away bunk bed. May be OK for smaller kids (although safety in question) but by no means comfortable for teenagers. Had we known we would likely have rented out 2 rooms. Every ounce of space needed for our luggage and reminiscent of dorm life. A nice place but limit yourself to 2 people in one room and you will have an enjoyable stay at the Hotel Gardenia.

The hotel is a 20 minute walk to the center of town. You walk on the main road breathing in all the fumes from the buses, scooters, and cars. Also an extremely loud, unpleasant experience. Taxis want to charge €20 to take you from the main square back to the hotel if you’ve had too much to drink. A three minute taxi ride. To walk from the train station by station is just a little bit less and walk into the main square. But it is an uphill grade of a slight.

Ideal for a short stay

A nice enough hotel, staff are lovely but the place could do with some attention in areas like the pool, its ready for a repaint, the rooms are tidy and well presented but dated and there is an ant issue as reception readily gave me a can of spray to deal with them in our bathroom. The shower cubicle screening was broken and needed replacement. The vanity set was mouldy and was pointed out to reception. Cleanliness could be better.
The breakfast however was really good along with the service, always a good morning and a smile from the guys there.
The hotel location is further away from the piazza than advertised with a good 20-25 minutes walking at a good pace. The Corso Italia road is very busy and noisy and having a room at the back is preferable.
Air conditioning worked fine and the water pressure and temperature for the shower was good.
The bed was comfortable and I slept well.

very nice managed hotel

Hotel is a well managed hotel. Nice bedroom well furnished. Room cleaning excellent. Good bar service. Breakfast was Ok. Staff very friendly including owner and his wife.
Lovely pool area and sun deck overlooking The Bay of Naples and Mt Vesuvius. Room had good side balcony albeit traffic noise is loud. When doors shut you don't hear anything. Air conditioning worked well. We didn't use the in room bar. Be aware that if you put anything in fridge to keep it cold, you get charged a few euros which seems mean considering the heat and need to keep drinking liquids.
The hotel is a good 20 minutes from centre of town along an extremely busy road with very narrow paths in places. This wasn't an issue for us however would be for anyone with a walking impairment.
Hotel staff very helpful in giving us advise about the locality.
The hotel has a very efficient lift to all floors including the roof top terrace

Lovely hotel

My wife, daughter and I stayed here for 9 days in July. The hotel looked as if it had been renovated fairly renovated and was pretty much spotless inside. Everything about the hotel was mostly excellent, from the breakfast area, the staff, the small pool bar and the large swimming pool. The hotel is 15 minutes from the main area of Sorrento but be very aware of the main road directly outside the hotel as there is a never ending stream of traffic. The pavements sometimes narrow down to single file and can you have to keep your wits about you as you dodge the mopeds buzzing about you. However I would definitely recommend the Gardenia Hotel and it should be considered as a location when travelling to Sorrento.

visited with my wife, and adult son and daughter. We all were very happy with the hotel. Their recommendations for restaurants were consistently good. The road outside is busy, so try to avoid a room overlooking it if you want to use your balcony. It is about a 30 minute walk into the old quarter of Sorrento, but there are bars and restaurants nearby. The walk to the station (for Herculaneum and Pompeii) is about 20 minutes. We appreciated the complementary bottle of prosecco to help celebrate our wedding anniversary! The airport transfer service also worked well. All in all we would happily recommend.

Helpful & Pleasant Staff but that's Where it Ends

The Staff are very nice and they are helpful and pleasant, but the Hotel was a pretty big disappointment. I have travelled extensively in Europe and a lot in Italy so I know what to expect from European hotels. This was not a good choice for us (it might be for you) but here are the reasons why (hope this is helpful): You are really far from the center action of Sorrento and you will spend much time walking on incredibly narrow streets with scooters, motorcycles and cars whizzing by you. It actually gets a bit scary at times. We were travelling with our teenaged kids, I would tell you, if you have younger children, you may want to find a different hotel, you will be scared for their safety walking on these streets. The noise of the street from inside this hotel is loud even with the windows shut tight. Our beds were rock hard (a lot of European hotels are this way), but the circa 1950 mattresses and bed coverings have to be changed out; very uncomfortable. Same can be said for the towels. The nap that was once on these towels was rubbed away in a previous century. The cramped shower (and yes, this is typical in Europe) was not as clean as it should be and I didn't want to go in barefoot although, in fairness, that may be my aversion to these kinds of things. I think the pictures on the websites are misleading a bit. While they are certainly not doctored in any way, they are taken from the most optimistic vantage point. Hope this helps!

It was okay

It was a 10-15 min walk to the main plaza / bus and train station, which was not comfortable for someone like me who was carrying a big luggage. Not only because of the distance but the road outside seemed busier with a lot of cars passing through (careful the sidewalks were really narrow), heard a couple of sirens during my stay. I had stayed at a different hotel within Sorrento prior to my stay here, and the taxi from one to another was around 15euros.

Not much restaurants around, but it was close to a laundromat which was good because I needed to do my laundry.

The breakfast was decent, one time they had tomatoes and mushroom on another day, which I appreciated because most of the hotels I've stayed at only didn't have those additions with the regular eggs and bacon.

The room was okay, the top sheet of the bed seemed a little dirty though.

A comfortable hotel near the town centre

We were greeted on arrival with a very simple and painless check-in, enhanced by a complimentary local liquor - delicious, chiilled Limoncello. The Hotel staff were universally friendly and obliging - nothing semed to be too much trouble. We arranged a night at the Opera through reception, which was accomplished easily. We also found a good (According to Trip Adviser) restaurant only some 100 metres from the Hotel and asked the hotel to book us in; as the proprietor's wife hadn't been there, she not only booked us in but also came with us to take a look so she could advise future guests with her own personal experience...!
Our room was comfortable with good air-con, a large bath/shower/toilet room, and a decent sized balcony. We didn't have a sea view, but the hotel has a great roof terrace with panoramic views of the bay of Naples and Vesuvius.
The pool was fine, with lots of sun-beds that you didn't need to reserve at dawn..!
This is a really nice, friendly little (28 rooms ?) hotel with god facilities and excellent customer service.
