We stayed two nights at Whitehall Guesthouse, Sorrento. It was during winter and on a monday and tuesday so we practically had the place to ourselves. I had originally booked a double room with shared ablutions but we were upgraded to an ensuite room at the last minute because of the low number of bookings. The room was clean and... More

Room clean and adequate for our needs. Guest lounge areas lacking atmosphere. Few games no magazines, DVD player but no DVDS. No wine glasses or other items for guests to use in lounge areas for drinks or food. Dissapointed that open fires not lit. Would not stay here again unless cost was a big priority.

My friend and I stayed in this cute hotel for only one night. The building itself is huge -- big aisle, big ensuite room and social room. Clean and warm -- there are heaters in the room and in the independent shower room. The reception lady is nice and friendly. We park our car at the back of the hotel.... More

The hotel was lovely, charming, clean, and would love to come back again, however there was no air conditioning and the screens had holes in them so we were miserably hot! It was so muggy in our room, which is a shame because the location was great and the balcony and courtyard would have made this one of my favorite... More

We stayed one night in a double room with shared bathroom. The building is very imposing and still has a lot of charm about it. Some of the old pieces of furniture have been kept (like an 90yr old piano) and there is a billiard room as well as a reading room. Everyone has access to the first floor terrace... More

We stayed overnight in an ensuite room and it was a fine spot to stay. It's not 5 stars, but it never claimed to be. The bathrooms were new and the place was very clean. The carpets were worn but it just kind of adds to the old charm of the place. It was a short walk down to back... More

I found this place to be great. Some people seemed turned off by the worn carpet and simple rooms, but for me it satisfied my two key criteria: a clean room and a very comfortable bed. The shared bathroom facilities were excellent and the continental breakfast was adequate (not a great variety but no excuses for not being full afterwards).... More

we should have perhaps researched this place before we booked. the shared bathroom might normally have been ok, but the guests who were staying at the time left it in a bit of a state. we did wait to lter to re-use in the hope they might be cleared up a bit, but didnt happen. the rooms were large, fairly...

Loved staying at this lovely old guesthouse. Whitehall oozes history throughout the building, beautiful new clean bathrooms. Fantastically friendly staff! The dinning room is a big grand room room with a fireplace the sun streamed as we ate our breakfast and read 1 of the 4 daily newspapers on offer. The breakfast consisting of every toast you can imagine including... More

The first time we stayed here we booked a budget room. These are clean and comfortable but very basic with no view, they needed renovation when we stayed there but this was about 2008. Bathrooms are not as renovated as the ones upstairs but still plenty of showers and toilets available. The breakfast which was included was a fully cooked... More
