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!

Could be more Royal

The hotel is old and in need of refurbishment especially the rooms. We had a problem with the toilet flush that took three attempts to eventually repair. No apologies were received from the hotel. We were there for five nights and the bedding was not changed at all. Amenities were also not replenished.

Needs a refresh and deep clean!

The staff were amazing and this hotel had a stunning view at the top of the mountain. You must be prepared to hike up insanely high stairways or dangerous narrow road or take the bus. There’s no shuttles and the taxi charges a fortune just to take you down the mountain. This hotel needs an overhaul. They’ve put no money into the property ever! The whole place is infested with aunts on all exterior patios. They make their way inside and we’re crawling on my toothbrush! There was nowhere to put bottles in the shower as the shelves fell off the wall. I’m sure there was black mould growing too. The beds had no mattress covers on them which is disgusting and no fitted bottom sheet. Just a top sheet tucked in. There’s no glasses or anything in the room. Just two paper cups. No kettle, no nothing. It’s a stair maze getting around and the elevators don’t go to all floors so you’re hauling your bags up and down the stairs. The one little elevator was out of order and again, didn’t reach all floors. Be prepared for an insane workout just to get in and out if the building. This property has potential, just needs work and to have proper bedding. Everything looked grungy and not cleaned. Towels were stained and not crisp. They should be bleaching. The breakfast included was decent and the staff made great cappuccino and were so kind. So all in all, great staff but cannot recommend to anyone unless you like grungy and dark.

Located in a beautiful spot on the mountain with great views of the mountain and sea. Swimming pool great, lovely tennis court and evening entertainment was a bonus-Gino was fab with his one man band and performance. What wasn’t so great ….we had no pre holiday welcome information from the hotel so first day finding the place was hard. We walked it all the way up and it wasn’t easy! It was hot and we felt like we were climbing up and up. We were exhausted. We later found that the local Positano Mobility bus stopped right outside the hotel and took you to the centre and the beach with a regular service. If only someone had told us that! The hotel is located with good connections also to the Sita bus which is cheap to ride and takes you to other coastal towns. It is really convenient and the ride is spectacular and scenic. Wish we had this information before our trip. The Hotel also didn’t provide any coffee or tea in the rooms so be prepared to pay for that at the restaurant or bar. Ladies.. bring your hair dryer. I left my one at home and the one in the hotel was one of those cheap European wall hair dryers! The flexi pipe got quite hot! It was terrible. Reception staff need to be a bit more hospitable. They were friendly but spoke very little. Overall, great location with great connections to the local buses and Sita stop a stone throw away. Room was cleaned every day and pleasant to stay in. Beautiful views.

Pluses: the pool is a 10/10. Deep, large and well kept. The views are phenomenal and the outdoor patios and balconies really take full advantage of the views. The lunch bar is great. The staff was friendly and helpful. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful throughout. Minuses: the interior needs a LOT of updating. It appears the last facility upgrade was in the mid 90s and while it is actively maintained the wear is obvious. Definitely needs new showers and new furnishings. Room amenities are few and feel more like 2 star than 4 star. The breakfast is mediocre compared to most hotels in this price point. The hotel is at the top end of upper Positano and it's a substantial walk to get to shopping and most of the restaurants. Probably 20 minutes down to the beach and 30 minutes back for anyone with moderate to good cardio. The walk is not for older folks or young kids. That said, we stayed with our four teenage kids and they loved the pool and enjoyed the Hotel Royal. If you are staying in Positano on a family budget, its a good choice to stay, just be aware of the trade offs. Note the nearby restaurant of Ristorante C'Era Una Volta is an absolute gem and is the best bang for the buck food, service and views in Positano.

Our stay at the Hotel Royal Positano was truly unforgettable. The location is incredible, high in the mountains with breathtaking views of Positano. The staff was amazing, especially the manager who went above and beyond to help my fiancé plan the most special proposal. They made the moment so magical that this hotel will always hold a very special place in our hearts. Another big plus was the pool and food service, we were able to enjoy relaxing days at the hotel without needing to leave and walk 20k steps 😅. During our stay, they also helped us in a time of need when our airport shuttle didn’t show up, immediately arranging transportation so we wouldn’t miss our flight. Their kindness, dedication, and hospitality are unmatched. We can’t wait to come back!

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. We would say the condition of the property isn’t poor but just old. The hotel could do with a refurb and update (eg wardrobes painting…) but the hotel was very clean and comfortable. It was nice having the swimming pool to use in the day. Long way from the port but the buses were very good. Highly recommend using the bus to get down and up.

Check in is from 4pm, which is way too late. Then the pool closes at 6pm each day. It was 5pm when we arrived.. the sun was still out for another 5 hours, we were hot, tired and sweaty, ready for a swim but nope. Had to check out before the pool even opened the next day too.
