You are at the perfect location. Period. Quick walk to the old town, the lookouts, the seaside lift (and to the good food, or train/bus hub), but apart from the crowd. All clean and enough space (for me, at least). As a nice bonus, you can admire little traditional inlay designs on the doors. Obviously I completely agree with what everyone else is saying about the exuberant and very helpful host, Claudio.

The only question for me was the acoustics, in the evening you hear everything. But mornings were quiet. Had to laugh at myself walking past the door a few times before finding. Full ten star experience regardless.

The accommodation is very comfortable and the guest rooms and bathrooms are spacious. It is located 30 seconds from Piazza Tasso. You are in the middle of everything you need in Sorrento and when you return to your room it is quiet. You can walk to the accommodation from the train station easily. Our host Claudio was an added bonus giving us tips on where to eat authentic food, how to get authentic experiences and showing us around. You can walk to everything easily. You can make a coffee in the quaint lobby and enjoy a seat inside or outside on a common deck when you want, away from the bustle. The hotel is an intimate experience as it is family run with only 7 rooms. Very nice after a busy day to relax. We highly recommend staying here. We would definitely stay here again. Excellent value.

Everything was wonderful. There is nothing needing changing.

The location of this hotel is excellent. Two minutes to Tasso Square, the hub. Given its closeness to the square, there were no noise problems, it was quiet to sit on our terrace and also at night. Our host, Claudio, went over and above to make our stay memorable. He arranged trips for us, or made suggestions of places we might like. We visited a winery with tastings up in the hills and made pizzas at an organic farm, with others, also outside Sorrento. And we did the trips to Capri and the boat around to Amalfi and Positano. We particularly enjoyed going on the train and funiculare up the mountain at CastelMare. Walking in the beech woods was so enjoyable. There are so many places to eat in Sorrento and at Marina Grande that we chose a different one almost every night! Claudio's recommended restaurant was excellent for lunch and evenings.

Nothing.

Loved Claudio he's an excellent host. Room was clean and comfortable. The lighting is the bathroom was fantastic! The location was excellent for being close but just barely off the crazy busy area. We had a room with a terrace that was lovely to sit out and relax with coffee in the morning and read in the late afternoon. Claudio had great suggestions and could get us into the restaurant and beach in short notice. I'd stay here again.

Not a bother for us but for most US people room is small and so is the shower. But as expected

We recently had the pleasure of staying at La Magnolia in the heart of Sorrento, and it was an experience that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this charming boutique hotel offers something truly special. The location is unbeatable. Nestled in the city center, La Magnolia is within walking distance of everything Sorrento has to offer—quaint shops, vibrant restaurants, and breathtaking views of the Bay of Naples. Despite being so central, the hotel provides a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. Our room was beautifully decorated, combining classic Italian elegance with modern comforts. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the luxurious bedding to the spotless bathroom. The staff at La Magnolia went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. They were incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive, always ready to assist with any request. Their local knowledge was invaluable, providing us with excellent recommendations for dining, sightseeing, and day trips. It truly felt like staying with family. La Magnolia is more than just a place to stay; it’s a home away from home. The combination of its prime location, impeccable service, and beautifully designed rooms made our trip to Sorrento unforgettable. Whether you’re in Sorrento for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or simply to explore the beauty of the Amalfi Coast, La Magnolia is the perfect choice. We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough and are already planning our return. If you’re looking for a warm, intimate, and authentic Sorrento experience, look no further than La Magnolia.

We are so glad we chose to stay at this hotel during our visit to Sorrento. The location could not have been better -- we weren't directly over the busy piazza but we were a 60 second walk away from it. The best pizzeria, gelateria, shops, etc. were all convenient walking distance. The marina is a 30-min walk or so, which is nice to do since leisurely strolling around the city is pleasant and interesting. We had so much fun simply wandering around and no matter where we went we were a convenient distance from the hotel. The room was very clean thanks to the kind cleaning person, Teresa, and her hard work. Our host, Claudio, was the best host we've ever had. When we first arrived, we had been traveling for over 30 hours, and he welcomed us with water and fun conversation in the lobby. He asked what we wanted from our stay and helped us curate the perfect visit for us, including taking us to his favorite local pizzeria, helping us with dinner reservations, offering ideas for activities we could do, introducing us to the local shop owners, and just generally making us feel like we were visiting an old friend. The owner, Dario, was very helpful and responsive as well, and continued to give us tips/advice when we finished our trip in Rome. We have already told our families all about this hotel and we can't wait until we are able to visit Sorrento again. I cannot recommend this place enough!

The beds were pretty comfortable for hotel beds, but they could be better if I had to choose something for improvement. This is certainly not a deterrent for us staying at this hotel since I don't think we've ever experienced a hotel bed that is equal to what you will get in your own home.

The hotel is in a perfect spot right where you want to be in Sorrento. Our room came with an outdoor patio which we spent part of the morning sitting on, it was quiet and private. What made the experience exceptional, was Claudio. He could not have been more helpful and caring about our stay. All of his recommendations were gold and he even personally took us around to some of his favorite spots. We highly recommend staying here!

Beautifully outfitted boutique hotel, in the heart of Sorrento but incredibly quiet. Our charming host could not have been more helpful, including in suggesting restaurants. Highly recommended. We would definitely stay there again. The espresso coffee machine at reception was much appreciated.

La Magnolia would be perfect if it offered even a minimal breakfast. However, there are numerous cafes very nearby.

Claudio was amazing. He was the best host we have ever experienced. He spent time with us at checkin, and then walked us around the town center to help orient us. His restaurant suggestions are great. Excellent food at reasonable prices.

The only thing that could have been better would have been if we could have stayed longer.

Claudio our host made our stay into the most magical experience. He showed us all around to the non-touristy places and we truly found a dear friend. Perfect location in the town center. We had a room with a balcony that was delightful. I will never stay anywhere else when I return to Sorrento. I wish our time could have been longer there. So that means we will be back. Ciao!

It was all great!
