New and clean hotel in central location, low prices and plentiful continental breakfast. Free wi fi. Staff friendly and helpful young man with a smile. Spas and relaxation training and quality; rock pool, sauna and hamman. Optimal solution for a one-week vacation in Sorrento for excursions to Pompeii, Capri, Herculaneum, Pestum, Naples and Vesuvius.

We are a mother-daughter (ages 62 & 32) duo doing Italy over 2 weeks in October 2009.
Finding the hotel was difficult for us, as we were trusting Rick Steve's Italy guide which let us down big time on this one! You can take Via Corso straight down and then take the steep stairs down after the hospital on the right or when you get to the Piazza Tasso take the road on the right (Via Corso breaks off left-ish). It's pedestrian only with quaint shops, and no stairs pretty much straight to the hotel. Wi-fi in the lobby plus computer room upstairs use same pay system (I think it was 10 euro for 24 hours, 15 for 72 hours, maybe 20 for a week?). We did not use any of the spa facilities, as we were there for only two nights but the prices seemed reasonable compared to Rome, fairly comparable prices to our Southern California services (I think a 1hr massage was about 50 euros).

Room - it's billed as a deluxe hostel, but I don't know where the hostel is. :-) We had two twin beds in a very large corner room with a balcony. Bathroom was a good size, great towels & linens, floors are marble, balcony view is beautiful. Only complaint was that the tub/shower had a screen that has so many crevices that just attract mold like crazy. Would've been better if they had done an extra large shower curtain. But really that was the only negative. At 60 euro/night including breakfast it was a great rate. Probably the most comfortable bed I slept in throughout the entire trip (6 beds).

Location - good! It's kind of in an odd location, not quite near the "downtown" hotels but not up with the view hotels. This was our last town to visit on our vacation, and we were very tired of dragging our luggage around. But it's an easy walk when you get your bearings. Very convenient for our trips to Herculaneum, Pompeii, and my trip into Naples (mom was scared of big bad Napoli).

Breakfast - Good value. There were cheese slices, salami, ham, rolls, bread, assortment of pastries, several cereal options, fresh fruit, canned fruit, ok coffee, and orange and pineapple juices.

I recommend this hotel. Good price, good location, great sleep The hotel was quiet for us, but I cannot imagine how all of you travel to Italy in July. It was a little crowded and really hot in October!

Ulisse Deluxe Hostel in Sorrento is not a hostel it is a extremely nice hotel at hostel prices. Paid 70 euro total for a huge double with bathroom and tub in February the best price in center town of Sorrento. They have a huge lobby, wi-fi, and a Spa. Better than most European hotels I stayed at and was cheaper

My Partner and I stayed here after a hectic couple of days in Rome.
What can I say? It is as nice as people say. It is cheap, It has a pool, Spa and parking (If you are mad enough to drive in Italy!!)
the rooms were huge! They have double occupancy rooms, family rooms and dormitory rooms [...]
