We were nervous about staying here after reading reviews but had a lovely stay and felt that the hotel was a great option given the price. Yes, it would benefit from new carpet in the hallways and the rooms could be updated, but overall it was certainly nice enough to sleep in, with very helpful staff, clean rooms, and very attractive grounds and pool. Short walk to main areas of Positano but lots of stairs!

Very nice view from the restaurant & rooms balcony. However, need to take so many stairs to get there. It totally worth to send luggages by lift services. Staffs are nice, but everything is kind of too old. It's time to have a nice renovation.

Had a great trip to Positano! Like many other reviews this hotel needs some updates around the property. However I will say we appreciated the maids and cleaning staff(room was also refreshed perfectly!) fresh towels everyday, great balcony and a lot it had to offer. The bus is amazing and a MUST use if you stay here. Breakfast was also very nice and they have a wonderful patio to dine on if the weather is nice- breakfast staff are very attentive and kind.

The hotel is great beautiful views. A bit high and hard to get to I wouldn't recommend for older couples. Although there is bus to get there you can't take your luggages on it. The restaurant is over priced and if you have kids in would say go eat somewhere else as the kids menu sucks.

Although could do with updating, this charming hotel had clean and comfortable rooms with a good buffet breakfast. Be prepared for all the steps down to the centre (and up) although there is a bus that stops right outside the hotel. It did however have a great swimming pool with towels provided with a bar that provided drinks and snacks, which was a rest bite from the bustle of a very crowded beach and sea front. And of course the view from the pool and indeed our room was magnificent.

Very nice property and accommodation for the price. I like the location, the public beach access and local bus transportation are near hotel. Not easily walkable down and up 800 steps to the village of Positano, taxis are $40-50 each ride one way, but the hotel did have parking on the street for scooters and small cars if you rent those. Large nice pool which was closed for the season. Delicious free breakfast with my reservation. The room was very clean and large with ample closet space and large patio. It was a bit dated. Tree outside room blocked view of the village and water, but I could see the mountain. I would definitely stay here again. Quick response by reception to requests. Mateo at reception was very professional and helpful.

The bathroom were a little outdated and not the cleanest in general, nothing found however felt like it could've used a good scrub down given the price/level of the hotel. Staff was great and helpful when required. Breakfast was good when the food was there… i found that every day I had to ask or be waiting for more food to be put out and often the eggs were cold or I had to ask for more as cold cuts/cheese and eggs +veggies/sausage were empty. Pool said to be closed at1800 however every day we got there at around 1630 pool was already closed off with vacuum in it which was frustrating. Awesome view of Positano as shown in photo, we had an “ocean view” room. I liked the place however expected slightly higher standards given the price paid.

Pros : nice size swimming pool, nice views overlooking the terrace. Cons: costs €35 each time in taxi fare to the hotel from the main centre, unless you want to wait 30 minutes for overcrowded buses to get to the hotel which are cheaper. The layout inside is like a maze, still struggled to find my room even on the 4th night. Plus loads of steps inside, and lift doesnt stop on all floors. Cardio workout ! Limitied breakfast choice. Depressing bedroom decor, like going back to the 60s. It lacks the nice crisp feeling that a modern hotel would have. Its only a 10 min walk to the beach if you are willing to walk down a set of steep steps down to the beach for 10 mins or so. Not recommended if you are travelling with young children. Expensive for drinks and snacks. Didny have dinner there, so can't comment
