Positano Hotels

Beautiful spot on the Amalfi Coast, and a good choice if you want to be able to walk to town/breach/restaurants/etc.

the ambience of the hotel was magical and the staff were friendly helpful and so hospitable. the view from the bedroom was stunning. and the terrace off th ebedroom was a lovely spot to sit and relax at

The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was large, the beds comfortable and the view out of this world. I would highly recommend a visit to the Hotel Posa Posa. I have only been back in Australian for 4 days and am already saving and dreaming of my next trip to Positano, where I will certainly stay at the same hotel.

I loved everything

I did not enjoy my stay at all. This is a 2/3 star hotel under the name of 4 stars. I asked for my room to be changed because I did not like it, i was told that I should have booked a "suite". So I got one at an exhobitant price, apart for being slightly larger the facilities were the same: non exhistent.

Food,position,facilities non exihstent, staff very patronising.

Location and View, restaurant

One of the best hotels we have stayed in and our holiday was an absolute pleasure

Nothing

The location is the best right on the beach with amazing views both ways you look. It is clean, safe and well designed.

If you wish to enjoy a relaxed holiday, in the absolute prime location in Positano, La Caravella is simply the place to stay.

The location was NOT terrible. It is higher up which allows for much better terrace views of the enchanting Mediterranean! The staff were extremely helpful. Most importantly the hotel was very CLEAN. You will not be disappointed if you stay here.

The room was spacious and elegantly furnished with tiles. The view was beautiful. The breakfast which was delivered to the room each morning was wonderful. Very friendly and helpful staff.

This is not a negative--just a comment. In the evening the hotel staff spoke limited English and was sometimes a bit of a challenge to communicate with. However, by working together we were always able to get the point across and all was good!

Great location, very helpful staff. The view from the terrace attached to our room was magnificent. Great to have cable TV with a number of English channels.

Location; the public rooms were very lovely; breakfast was very good

Rooms advertised as having a terrace with a sea view are in the attic. The room was very small and plainly decorated, with a sloping ceiling. There was a desk but no dresser to unpack some items.No pictures on walls; bathroom was barely adequate. When I asked for a second luggage rack, I was told only 1 per room despite the fact that the hotel was pretty empty. Wrong answer! During our stay, I needed to confirm a car pick-up via e-mail. I was told there was an internet cafe in town by the receptionist who was sitting by a computer.

The bedroom and bath were so pretty and large with a beautiful view to the sea and cliffs.We used the elevator access to the restaurant and beach. It was within a few minutes walking distance to shops. The breakfast room view was so pretty and the food were very good.

Parking the car in their car park was expensive, and the hotel was difficult to find but I think this would be a problem for most lodgings in Positano.

Excelente location, walking distance from the main beach and the town center, but still got a beach of there own. the restorant down the elevator it was good and good price

the bathroom didnt have a shower door or neither a curtain shower , that makes the floor terrible wet every time you use it

The staff

Our magnificent view and the loveliness of the room itself. The staff upgraded us to an even better room for no additional cost and were wonderful.

Nothing!

The location was perfect, the staff really were helpful, and the hotel room with the sea view was perfect for a honeymoon, very romantic location.

Lovely room in great location and staff were wonderful.

There seemed to be a lack of hot water late at night.

The rooms were lovely, location superb, great staff and breakfast on the terrace a total treat

Beautiful, clean hotel with incredibly helpful and charming staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Perfect location in Positano.

The location and views are outstanding

Food in restaurant is mediocre. The "King SIze" bed in the junior suite is, in fact, two single beds moved together - not the same thing at all.

The view and vistas were great

The comfort of the bed was awful. We stayed in room 152 and the bed was hard and sagged in the middle. It is hard to understand how a hotel as eloquent and upscale as this has beds that should be in a hotel for half the price. Upgrade your beds.

Restaurant was great, staff was great

Bathroom and room small, couldn't sit straight on toilet no room for legs. Really uncomfortable.

Spectacular grounds overlooking the Bay of Napoli. Service was impeccable. Great location ... Only a few train stops away from Sorrento and 25 minute train ride to Pompeii.

The views from our terrace and breakfast terrace were breathtaking. The rooms were very clean.

The hotel is located in a small town between Positano and Amalfi so it would have been nice if the staff had been more accommodating in answering questions especially about transportation (bus) and dining.

Quiet relaxing beautiful scenery spotlessly clean very secure night and day location very central on the Amalfi coast

Very helpful staff. Beautiful large pool with lovely view

Rather an institutional 'business conference' feel.Very noisy road outside from 6am onwards

breakfast not standard for 4-stars-hotel (small choice), aircondition switched on after asking at receiption,

We liked best the location and spacious room

Clean, pleasant staff. Car parking available. Good location with glorious room views.

hotel and staff were faultless i would recommend this hotel

We got a room with a huge terrasse and amazing view. Very kind stuff, always attentive, even though in low season. Breakfast quite rich in comparison to other hotels in the area. Room decoration charming. Location between Amalfi and Positano is very good and the parking offered just outside the hotel is very handy. Definitely recommendable.

Small charming hotel , ideal place to get away from the more crowded Sorrento . Most of the visitors are Italian. Mediterenian Design.

This is a wonderful hotel! With a very nice staff. Very good breakfast. Quiet room with good beds.

The area around. The hotel is placed by a little harbour and thats it. There is nothing else! Just a lot of camping!! And if you want to go swimming in the sea or lay in the sun you have two possibilities: go to the public ( very smal ) beach ( witch is so overcrowded ) or to pay ( pay a lot!! ) for a little less crowded beach. So its down by the sea, but its only for " see "! There is no restaurant in the hotel. In walking distance there are two pizzerias and two restaurants, the closest M.... should teach their staff good behavior, the other ( by the round tower ) was very nice. But if you want something else you have to use a car ( and that is a risky sport in this area! ).

location - good scenery - safe car parking

the kind of the hotel ,quiet & peaceful, the location between sorrento to vico equenze + the nearby to other places - ravello, capri, positano+amalfi

the noise from the main road

All hotel staff were incredibly helpful and polite, and the shuttle bus service proved invaluable for getting around. Apartment was delightful, and the pool area and beach were clean and well looked after.

I didn't feel that the restaurant had much variety of dishes.

Good location, close enough to centre that walking to all the main tourist sights was easy. Location close to the railway station should not put people off because the hotel faces an elegant open square, with Santa Novella church blocking it away from the railway station's less salubrious streets. Free internet access. Good breakfast. Roof terrace was an unusual feature - can see all the cathedral dome and half of the campanile - quite a romantic place at night. Nice restaurants in nearby streets - I can strongly recommend (and I rarely do so) Il Latini in Via dei Paichetti, five minutes' walk from the hotel, for meat lovers.

Expensive for a dark room facing into an inner courtyard. Not good value for money compared to other hotels I have used, for example, in Rome. Overnight car parking is off-site at a garage - well organised, but again expensive. Roof top swimming pool is clean enough for a dip, but not long enough for a swim. Roof bar waiter never...

Location, pool, pool-side service

Rooms are dated and a bit dirty. Staff not very helpful / accommodating

The views are fantastic but that's because the hotel is way up the hill from the main town. The hotel is very nice. No complaints except maybe the breakfast could have been a bit more varied. Positano is fantastic. For me the best place in the area.

I see other reviewers are praising the location! For me it was not good. Apart from the 100 or so stairs you have to walk up it is probably almost a mile uphill from the main center before you reach the stairs.

Spectacular views. The "Terrace Rooms" are definitely worth the extra $. Beautiful restaurant. Outstanding breakfast with the option to add eggs/omlet for small charge. Very helpful staff. Parking available close by. Comfortable spacious rooms. All around great value.

120 steps from the street to the hotel desk. Not for those who have very limited mobility. (This is true for most of Positano). Porter will meet you at the parking area to bring your luggage.

The hotel is in a fantastic location , the view from our room (609) was just amazing,, the free bus service takes you to Positano which saves you 30 euro return trip by taxi.The staff were always helpful and the food in the restaurant coupled with amazing views over the sea and Positano was very good.The private beach was good too, we were there two days and had it to ourselves for most of it.We will be back

For 5 star we cant believe there is not a kettle and some tea or coffee in the room so you can make yourself a drink , room service is fine but pricey.

The location and views

The stairs and the venicular breaking down. A bit shabby around the edges as well.

Amazing view. Dinner was great. Wine tasting, Service was outstanding

Need to improve breakfast. Service was good tho

Absolutely beautiful landscape, spacesious well furnished rooms, extremely friendly and efficient staff, very convenient packing arrangements, everything is excellent!

We liked everything, only cardboard doors were a bit noisy and not fully convenient.

Beautiful views, setting, and accommodations. It was a wonderful experience.

Love love love the Marincanto! The location is perfect.. steps from everything in Positano and very close to the SITA bus stop. The hotel staff, especially who worked the pool, were all extremely nice.

The room decor could have been upgraded. Some lights didn't have fixtures, but it encouraged us to get out and enjoy the pool area. Our room had a WONDERFUL porch where we had coffee every morning with an unobstructed view of the ocean.

nice hotel in a good location

The pool

Location was a quite a bit of a steep walk from the beach, that was no problem for us although maybe for others

hotel staff and location

The staff recommended several great restaurants, and also helped set up driver to take us to Pompei. The scenery was magnificent.

Hotel staff were so helpful and friendly. Hotel was very well located with quite nice rooms. Recommend without a doubt.

The location, rooms, cleanliness and staff were excellent.

Rooms were lovely and the staff were attentive and efficient.

A bit pricey, especially drinks.

The staff were very helpful. The hotel was ideally located close to the beach.
