Seven of us from Canada thought this B and B was fantastic, amazing view, the grounds are well groomed. Our hosts Ana and Felix were so awesome, friendly, provided great service and very helpful. There were lots of great options for breakfast. The rooms were great, they have a mini bars, a nice little sitting area in front of the rooms that provided a beautiful view of the ocean, also, a sitting area where you can buy drinks at their bar. It was just a short walk into the main area where there was lots of shopping and restaurants. I would highly recommend this B and B for your next vacation stay.

Loved this hotel and it is very well located. We stayed on the 3rd floor and had a balcony. Room was spacious, comfortable and clean. It is walkable to stores, bus stop, restaurants, and the beach and ferry station. Service was excellent with yummy and varied breakfast buffet. We sent out a bag of laundry which was not crazy expensive for area and had a same day turn around. Definitely recommend. Great views from the balcony.

We had a lovely stay at Covo dei Saraceni - the staff was so helpful and our room was amazing, with a gorgeous water view. Our room was very large with a balcony which we enjoyed several times a day. We ate breakfast at the hotel every day and it was ample and delicious. We enjoyed the fresh juices, pastries, salad, meats and cheeses. One of our favorites was the carrot cake! We also ate in the dining room several times and again, terrific service, nice wine list and delicious food. Would highly recommend for a restful stay in Positano.

This was my fifth visit to Positano and the Amalfi coast in forty years I first visited in 1980. To be honest very little has changed during the summer season accommodation is in short supply. The hotels though charming with wonderful terraces and lovely attentive staff are not the most comfortable in terms of sleep quality ( hard mattresses and pillows) and bathrooms with dodgy plumbing and electrics are the norm. Accommodation is limited and prices are high. The Poseidon is a typical amalfi coast hotel we paid in excess of £2000 per night so in excess of $2500US for room 16 anywhere else in the world this would have be considered excessive for a four star hotel as described within the parameters above but this the Amalfi coast at the end of May so I am afraid is fairly typical. Both the room we stayed in and the main terrace where the small pool bar and restaurant were did have an amazing view across the bay and the staff were very charming and the bar scene was delightful. I am loathe to write anything negative but feel very strongly about the bathroom situation they have a separate bath and shower but the bath/ shower dispenser gel is glued to the wall in order to get the product out of the dispenser into the bath you to have to squirt it out onto the wall tiles and then use the hand held shower attachment to literally wash it of the walls into the bath. Note to the owners anybody who can afford to pay in excess of £2000 a night is not interested in stealing super expensive toiletries let alone the very basic toiletries you provide and if you are going to go the trouble of gluing products to walls at the very least you should make sure that the nozzles are directed into the bath/ in a way that people can use them.

Lovely hotel, helpful staff but the best part of all was the view from our room - absolutely beautiful. Pool and beach area was nice. Funicular was appreciated. Location good, away from the hustle and bustle but just a short ride into the main town. Whilst we would stay here again, and would recommend, I wouldn’t rate it 5/5 as it didn’t feel like pure luxury. Great, but not luxury.

There are some really wonderful things about this hotel but some improvements could be made to make the stay more comfortable. The good stuff - the views from the complimentary breakfast (and we had dinner at the restaurant too which I would recommend) are incredible. Check-in went smoothly and we were offered a welcome drink. Paolo at the front desk was incredibly helpful on several occasions - he spent extra time with us to help us navigate our way to the Path of the Gods hike and gave us some great recommendations for our trip to Amalfi/Ravello and for dinner in Positano. He definitely made us feel welcome. The beach club is one of the reasons we chose this hotel and it is very convenient to not to have to leave the property and make reservations/ pay for a beach club. Also, their chairs area is basically sharing space with one of the nicest beach clubs in Positano, so that is a plus. Be warned though that is about 250 steps down (and then of course back up) to the beach and not much they can do about that, but it can be quite exhausting even if you are in really good shape! The areas for improvement - our room did not get cool enough - the air struggled to get below 22.5 degrees, and our refrigerator did not work. We asked for ice a few times for our water/wine and it either took a really long time to come, or on one occasion was never delivered. The standard room was pretty small and there was no drawer space / shower was tiny and views minimal so I would probably upgrade next time. Lastly, we were only at the hotel for 2.5 days and had one afternoon planned to spend a decent amount of time at the beach club. We didn't learn until it was time to go down that the space had been rented out for a wedding and was not available that day. The pool guy told us when we were on our way down - no other notification prior to that. They did set us up with chairs/towel at the beach area on Spiagga Grande next to the hotel but there was no food/drink service available over there and it was inconvenient to say the least and not as nice as the hotel's space, so that was disappointing given we picked this hotel for their private beach.

We have stayed at wonderful hotels around the world, and the service at HSP is top tier. Every five star hotel should aspire to reach this level of service. We unfortunately were only able to stay two nights due to the hotel being full, and left for a competitor hotel for another few nights. While they are both considered ”five star”, it was like going from a Rolls Royce to an Audi. Yes, the other hotel was still beautiful and high quality, but the amenities, staff, friendliness and attention to detail are unparalleled here. Specifically, the boat guide Salvatore, our driver Alfredo, the patio manager Serafina, Carlino server Letitzia, and other staff members like Alessandro were incredible. The only aspect of this hotel we did not absolutely love was the air of ”stuffiness” from many guests. Of course, this is not the hotel's fault and it is to be expected when a Negroni costs 24 euros at the bar, but the ”Karen” energy from many of our fellow Americans was a bit beyond our tastes. Nevertheless, HSP is a special hotel that warrants a return visit. We hope to make our yearly escape here as it is truly paradise.

We loved The Royal Hotel Positano. Situated on the side of a cliff, the views were nothing short of spectacular. The hotel was easy to find and onsite parking was a plus! They helped with getting our luggage from the car to our room and then back to our car, which was very nice, as it might have been challenging with the stairs. There were stairs to get to the main lobby from the parking area, but there are stairs EVERYWHERE in Positano. Our room was very clean. There was daily housekeeping. The bathroom was updated and had a rain shower head that was very nice. Having breakfast every morning included with the room, was a nice perk. The breakfast was a typical European style breakfast of meat, cheese, pastry, yogurt, coffee and juice. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

The location of the hotel is first-class, the environment is first-class, and it is a family hotel. But there are two points that must be remembered: 1. There is a problem with the hotel's credit card payment. This time, the hotel has not received the payment for the second time in a row (it is estimated that the equipment of Telecom Italia is old), and I have received the payment at that time. After successfully texting, you can only pay cash and settle with the hotel before returning to your country to communicate. 2. The food situation in the hotel, the pasta for lunch is too salty. Proposed to them at that time. The raw fish ordered at night was too bland and had no taste at all. Michelin restaurants should not be of this standard. I hope friends who are interested in staying in this hotel will remember it.
