We are still in the hotel which claims to have earned four stars. Hah ... good joke. To be a four-star hotel, you have to have different sorts of premises like a swimming pool, parking, dining room ... room equipment, good service, etc. Let's start from the beginning. Location: The hotel is situated in a place called Meta, and that place has no similarities with Sorrento. It is about 3km from Sorrento, and about 6km from the city center of Sorrento. There are no sidewalks between Sorrento and Meta, so it is almost impossible to walk from place to place. But it is great that near the hotel (about 150m down the hill), there is the bus stop where you can take the bus to Sorrento. The hotel is almost on the top of the hill, which is not bad, but it can be very demanding, especially if you want to come to the beach more than one time per day. App Activity Tracker claims that the height difference between beach level and hotel entrance is 12 floors, but I think it is more than that. The beach which is 12 floors beneath the hotel is the best beach in the area, so that is the really good thing. Parking: The parking in front of the hotel is always full and it has to be paid separately. If you find parking somewhere, you are ready to reach the hotel entrance. Staff: Everybody is polite, if you are speaking Italian. But if not, if you approach someone who doesn't speak English, he will be just staring at you with no words, until someone else comes to the front desk. Conversation is extremely polite. Hotel-premises: Elevators are slow, but they are working. Everything is perfectly clean. Swimming pool is extremely small (about 8x5m). Big terrace is very nice, with a nice view, but mostly there is nobody there because there is a great terrace in front of the hotel with a very nice view of Sorrento. Rooms: are very like on their website, there is no safe deposit box in the room, tv is old, small, and without remote controller (which can be the issue if you wanted to watch the sport game or smth), towels are fabricated from some strange material, but the cleanliness is perfect. The room has been cleaned every single day. The doors are not very well noise isolated, which is the issue with walls, also. There is no carpet, in the whole hotel and rooms, the ceramic floors are dominant. Food: we paid for half-board service. Breakfast and dinner are served in a very nice dining room. There are a bunch of waiters who are always smiling and who are being polite. When you seat yourself for the first time, you are obliged to sit there all the time with the same companions. Every table gets its number, so you can eat only one croissant for breakfast, drink only one coffee from the machine (which is prepared by the waiter), and to drink as much as you want very poor quality refreshments from the machine, using the smallest glasses you have ever seen. Also, you are allowed to eat a piece of ham, a piece of cheese, and some kind of dry sausage. Of course, you can try to tak
