I stayed at Hotel Desiree in Sorrento for EUR 60 per night (single in high season). It's a ten-minute walk from the city center, along Via del Capo. From this street there are fantastic views. The hotel is a bit old and there is no elevator, but it's quiet and it's a great price for the area. The staff are amazing! They know so much about the area, and they really want to help you maximize your time in Sorrento. I didn't do any pre-booked tours, instead I bought the Campania Arte Card. You get free travel on public transport for three days, plus free admission to two attractions (choose from Pompeii, Herculaneum and the Naples Archaeological Museum for starters). During your three days, any extra attractions are 50% off.





For more information about Campania (and info on contacting Hotel Desiree), see the link below.
It's been 4 yrs since I've last visited Sorrento, but I stayed in a 3 star hotel, just 3 blocks from the center. I believe is was about $78 US per night, included breakfast, and my room backed up to a lemon grove from the balcony. Didn't bother with tours ($$$)....explored on my own. Took the Circumvesuviana (local train) to Herculenum, and Pompeii. Also took the local bus along the Almalfi Coast and got off at many of the postcard towns. Food? Follow the locals to the offbeat, true and cheap eateries. My only splurge was to Capri to see the Blue Grotto....if you can swing it, go for it....it was worth every dime! You might want to pick up Rick Steves' or Frommer's travel books--they're very helpful. What ever your budget is, a wonderful time is to be had!!
