We stayed at the Johanna Park Hotel in July 2026 and had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The hotel is well maintained, spotlessly clean and offers a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, making it an ideal place to unwind after exploring the Sorrento area.|One of the highlights was the excellent 10-metre swimming pool. The water was always crystal clear, lightly chlorinated and impeccably maintained. It features a shallow end with steps and a handrail, as well as a large built-in jacuzzi bench. As many guests spend their days sightseeing or taking excursions, the pool was usually quiet, which suited us perfectly. There were plenty of comfortable sun loungers, many with built-in sun shades, along with large parasols providing ample shade and small tables for drinks and personal belongings.|Our two first-floor sea-view/twin rooms were very clean and comfortable. Although the décor is a little traditional, everything was well looked after and in excellent condition. The air conditioning kept the rooms pleasantly cool, while the heavy blackout curtains did an excellent job of keeping out the strong Mediterranean sunshine. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained, with a toilet, bidet, wash basin and shower over the bath.|One room had a sea-view terrace and the other overlooked the pool, with both balconies providing a lovely place to relax in the evening or dry swimming costumes and towels after a day by the pool.|The hotel is set on a hillside above Sorrento, offering stunning views but meaning it isn’t really practical to walk into town because of the narrow, winding roads and lack of pavements. However, this was easily overcome by the hotel’s excellent shuttle bus service, which runs hourly from 9:00–10:00 and again from 15:00–22:00, taking around 15 minutes to reach Sorrento. It drops guests off at a convenient point on the eastern side of town and collects from the same location. Taxis are also readily available, typically costing around €30–€40 each way.|The hotel itself has three floors plus a rooftop viewing terrace that offers spectacular panoramic views across the Bay of Naples, the Sorrento coastline, Capri and the surrounding hills. It’s well worth visiting, especially at sunset.|The staff were consistently friendly, welcoming and attentive, always happy to help with any request. The reception area is comfortably air conditioned, with a small adjoining bar serving a good selection of drinks. Guests can also enjoy complimentary chilled still and sparkling water throughout the day.|Breakfast offered a generous self-service buffet with a good selection of Italian pastries, breads, cheeses, ham, fresh tomatoes and cucumber, scrambled eggs, frankfurters and, on some mornings, bacon. Unlimited fruit juices, bottled water and excellent coffee prepared by the breakfast staff made for a great start to the day.|The hotel restaurant offers both indoor seating and a spacious covered outdoor terrace. While the standard menu is fairly concise, the chef prepares several daily specials each evening, all enthusiastically explained by the maître d’, providing plenty of variety during our stay.|The rooms include an in-room safe, hairdryer and small refrigerator. Although there are no tea or coffee making facilities in the rooms, the hotel bar is always happy to prepare hot drinks whenever required.|Overall, Johanna Park Hotel offers excellent value, beautiful views, a peaceful setting and genuinely warm hospitality. If you’re looking for a relaxing base from which to explore Sorrento, Capri and the Amalfi Coast, we would happily recommend it and would certainly consider staying there again.

The view from the balcony is outstanding. The location is good, 20-30 mins walk from the town centre but there’s a shuttle that can take you into town or back to the hotel multiple times per day. The pool is clean, cool and rarely busy. The breakfast is decent and the staff there are very friendly and attentive. Sorrento is an expensive place to stay and Johanna Park represents good value for money

Rooms are dated, AC is spotty, bathroom shower & sink we're poorly designed. Staff is outstanding. All did a great job of doing their best to accommodate. All had great attitudes, very welcoming. Breakfast service is fantastic. Location has a great view from court yard & roof; however hotel is somewhat far away from town. There are no shops, restaurants by hotel.

We had a wonderful stay at the Johanna Park Hotel. The entire hotel is spotless, roomy and has plenty of places to chill. We particularly enjoyed the lobby bar and the excellent and plentiful breakfast. I was traveling with a group of students and they all felt welcomed and well treated. At one point one of the boys became ill. The manager arranged for a doctor to come see him and gave the boy an extra room to isolate from the others. I was also very impressed with the amazing views from our balcony and the hotel roof. It's only downside is that it is not in the center of town and on a busy road.

This hotel in Sorrento feels like stepping into a beautifully preserved 1970s setting, love the blue yellow geometric floor tiles and vintage interiors that add real character and charm. The retro design is stylish rather than dated, perfectly complementing the coastal atmosphere. The dinner especially the soup was well prepared. The service is attentive, and genuinely welcoming—our April stay is unique and memorable.

Be warned if you are a solo traveller this hotel is not easy to reach and very difficult if you arrive at the port. I took the ferry from Positano presuming the hotel would be easy to reach as I told it was 1.8 k’s from the city centre true but on a hill. They have free transfers and said they would pick me up if I arrived before the time they allocate and I stood waiting in the road for them to arrive. It took me hours to reach the hotel lugging my bags through town. There’s local bus but maybe goes every 30-60mins? There’s no way you can reach then other then to call. This place is set up for tour groups people who would be picked up. They quickly sell you a tour to Capri which comes with extra payment for a tour once you get to Capri not mandatory but easier than taking public transport. |The hotel did try and help me but a ticket for Herculean but not for Pompei and I was told I could leave my luggage in the train station not true I had to lug my luggage to the site. |For the price would not recommend it. There are great views from the hotel roof

Very nice location but the rooms are not sound proof and it was quite noisy until midnight and then began again at 5 am. Quaint is the best description of the room. Also, the WiFi was not working. Food and service was excellent 👍

I had a dental emergency and the staff were extremely helpful, making a same day appointment with a very kind and gentle local dentist, and they even dropped me off and picked me up!! Such kindness is greatly appreciated when traveling, especially when I don’t speak the language. Thank you!!
