The hotel offers a comfortable stay with great service and a lovely location, though dining options could be improved. The rooms were cozy, but the absence of a balcony in the quadruple room was a bit disappointing. The top-floor room had hot water and was very comfortable, ensuring a pleasant return in the future.

The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms are showing signs of wear and tear, the view from the private terrace is absolutely breathtaking. The service is top-notch with friendly and helpful staff, but the dining options may leave something to be desired. The location is stunning, overlooking the beautiful town of Positano, yet lacking some amenities. Overall, it's a place with ups and downs worth considering.

My stay at this hotel was a mix of great views and some drawbacks. The room had a view of the sea and the west side of Positano, which was picture-perfect, but it was a bit damp and cold due to the moisture and water dripping from the rock. The partial sea view was nice, and the room was spacious and clean.

I had a wonderful time at this hotel with my friends. The rooms had a charming worn-in feel, but nothing that bothered us. We actually got upgraded to the deluxe suite for the price of a junior suite, which was a pleasant surprise. The view of the bay from our window and the terrace was simply breathtaking, making our stay unforgettable.
