| | A great location. My wife and I found more than we expected. You won't be disappointed. Clean, quiet, with a calming peaceful, classy decor. Our balcony overlooked the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvious. One short block to Piazza Tasso and Piazza San Antonio for shopping and restaurants, and romantic strolls. All in a safe environment. All transportation was very close including train to Pompeii, Naples, etc., local bus, excursion buses, ferries to Capri, Ischia, Amalfi coast. The breakfast area was pleasant and buffet is bountiful. We enjoyed a wide range of fun from sharing a gelati on the Piazza to a memorable and expensive but delighful dinner at Caruso's. After Capri, purchased wine and sandwiches on the street and dined on our balcony. Viva Italia! I could go on and on. But it began with our hotel room. We will come back to Sorrento, and we will stay in the Carlton. Magnifico! |

| | The best thing about the Carlton is the location - right in the middle of the town with absolutely everything on your doorstep. This is my third year running that Ive stayed in the Carlton so Im a big fan, its so clean, towels are changed twice a day and the staff are so friendly. My only gripe would be the food, this year it wasnt as good as previous years. Im a vegetarian and they really need a greater choice for dinner. There was a great selection if you like lamb, veal, rabbit etc but some nights my only option was an omelette, which appeared almost every night. Despite that I'll be back next year but will just stick to B&B. |

| | Didnt find Reception staff very friendly or helpful. Also Luige, the Pool man, could be quite rude sometimes. Bar staff were very friendly, three men in particular, not sure of their names, one was Antonio I think, serving drinks by the pool and at night in the bar, very nice men. Hotel itself is lovely, fantastic location and lovely place to stay, perfect. Would definately recommend it and return. One point I'd like to make, I felt the pool closing at 6pm was far too early, 7pm or later even, the sun didnt go down till after 8pm most nights. |

| | An Excellent Hotel in the centre of Sorrento right near Piazza Tasso. Better location than the sea front hotels as the tiny beaches/bathing platforms can only be reached at the base of high cliffs. Staff were very friendly and organised excursions for us on request. Pool was clean and safe for kids, food excellent. 5 euro per day charge for sun loungers has been cited by other users as an issue, our opinion was that this actually reduced stress seeing as there was no early morning rush to put towels out and the loungers were yours for the whole day without worries. All in all the holiday was brilliant and I would recommend the hotel to other families travelling to the area. We'll be back to the Carlton... Sorrento is wonderful! |

| | Carlton International Hotel in Sorrento is in a good location and has a garage for your car which you can otherwise leave in a parking lot a short distance away. It is ideal for reaching the port as well as the city centre. I was not impressed by its Menu however and preferred eating in very good Italian restaurants nearby. All in all a good Hotel to stay in and Sorrento is delightful. |

| | This is a good, comfortable hotel in an excellent location, literally one minutes stroll from Tasso Square and five from the Station. The staff are friendly and helpful and the gardens and pool area private and relaxing. We were not leaving until the evening and although we could not keep the room as new arrivals had booked it, the hotel kept our luggage and allowed us to change etc before departure. No problems to mention at all. |

| | We were thrilled with the location of this hotel, just around the corner from Piazza Tasso. Although the room was small, we expected that, and the balcony gave us some added living space. Everything was extremely clean and looked well-kept. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. We would definitely stay here in the future! |

| | Stayed 7 nights in August. A great location, 1 min from the centre square 'in' Sorrento! Room was spacious & clean. We had a 2nd Fl Blacony seaview but some trees partially block view (Ask for higher room for clearer view). Lovely Poolside & garden. Deckchairs free, Sun Loungers €5 per day(with towel, but no Mattress). Pool is cleaned @ 6pm sharp (too early!). Daily Dinner menu had no price. Sorrento has loads of lovely restaurants in the town. We were Happy to find Hotel used by numerous Travel Companies incl Irish Topflight, so had info on local areas & tours. |

| | We stayed at Carlton International in Sorrento for 4 nights. The location was excellent, it was very central. The dissapointing part however was the fact that you had to pay 7 euros to use the pool (there is no mention of this on the web site- we booked this particular hotel because it had a pool) and also the fact that the pool is shared with the hotel next door. Therefore if you wanted a sun lounger you had to be out by the pool by 10am otherwise you missed out for the day! Another gripe is upon checkout the person at the front counter said we could get a boat to amalfi- true- but only once we got down to the port on the overcrowded bus with our cases etc we found out there were only 2 ferries a day and we had missed the last one by 3 hours! I don't believe this hotel should be awarded 4 stars...there wasn't even a mini bar in the room. Four star prices for a 2 star hotel. |

| | loaction was great but for a 4 star hotel I think it is overrated. The room had no visitor information about the hotel amenities or Sorrento whatsoever. Usual European double bed of 2 singles pushed together which is not that comfortable. My stay was OK for what I needed but I guess I had higher expectations for this rated hotel. |

| | I stayed at the carlton for 3 nights at the start of august.The hotel is in a prime location just around the corner from the piazza tasso, which is the main square.Rooms were spacious and spotless, maids came every day. Swimming pool shuts at 6pm and gets very busy so, if you want bed get out early. The pool shuts early as dining in the evening is outside.Breakfast superb,cereal, cold meat, cheese and the coffee is fine.The only down side really was the amount of noise the maids made at 7.30 in the morning right outside my door, so, if you want alie in request a higher floor!! But overall an excellent stay for the amount it cost and would definatley stay again. |

| | We both had a really good holiday and the hotel was a part of that. We have recommended the Carlton International to a friends mum. The only concern was that the your web site stated the hotel had a view of the Bay of Naples but our room looked onto the road, but I assume you pay an extra suppliment for the iew |
