Best Western Hotel La Solara

This property surprised me. Initial thoughts were it is a bit dated, tired, in need of a revamp. Very old-school decor like it is stuck in the 80’s. A superficial facelift would go a long way. I was expecting something a bit more sophisticated for the nightly rate. However, I ended up loving it. The room was so spacious and immaculate, air con worked perfectly, we had a large terrace overlooking the pool and I loved all the tiny details like the drying racks on the balcony and chocolates replaced every day. The cleaners came every day and made up the room. The pool was immaculately maintained, and we used it a lot. It was large, clean, quiet, with a beautiful view of the sunset. The breakfast was decent for European standards and the breakfast room itself was so serene with a gorgeous view. We had some beautiful sunsets. The staff were also lovely, Tina in particular helped us quite a bit with our various random requests that travelling with two young kids brings. She helped us book a day cruise to Positano & Amalfi which ended up one of our trip highlights.

The shuttle bus, although EXTREMELY timely and well maintained an air conditioned, often took 15-20min for trips. The road to the hotel is narrow, high trafficked and windy, so the bus had to drive an extra bit past the hotel to turn the bus around, this could add up to 10 minutes to the journey. So whilst it is a 10min ride, it often took 20min. Limited food menu and hotel location is not close to any shops. You really have to plan & bring snacks from Sorrento. There are a couple of established tavernas within 20min walk, but in the August heat it wasn’t feasible.

Great swimming pool and shuttle bus . Nice views.

the food at the snack ( pool) and breakfast are not good and very expensive for the quality

Clean, hospitable and cozy.
