The hotel was great. In the middle of everything. Especially close to the docs so if you have any boat tours planned for Capri Positano or Ischia, you’re right there. The only drawback is that you’re at the bottom and to get up to the city, you have to walk a bunch of stairs. However, there is an Elevator close by that you could take that takes you right up to the city for about one euro.

Pool was good, nice views from roof top. Room was on the small side but clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was ok if you got in early but didn't seem to be topped up after the first half an hour so barely any food available after that.

We traveled many hours and it was terribly hot -our ferry ended up arriving about 45 minutes before the check-in time of 3 pm they told us to go and return in 45 minutes. Didn’t actually check to see if the room was ready just a return after 3 pm. That was kinda disappointing we were sweating and tired would have liked it a lot better if we didn’t have to wait that time. The front desk staff was not particularly friendly when we would walk by and say hello or ciao. It was nice to have breakfast available at the hotel and the breakfast was pretty good. Coffee was good. Sweets were sweet. No microwave at the room. So don’t bother with any leftovers. Which was sad because the portions at some of the restaurants were quite big. The hotel has a small pool on the fourth floor which was great with the hot weather. Bathrooms are spacious but not a lot of counter space for toiletries. Room was spacious and slept 4 but only one chair. Bed was not very comfortable.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The photos are very misleading this place was very rundown, including having mould on the walls and yellow stained curtains. The front staff were unfriendly, and unhelpful. The elevator broke the first day we arrived, forcing us to take the stairs from the fourth floor. The bedroom was very damp because of how close you are to the ocean and so everything constantly felt wet and cold. The towels were ripped, I’m very old. Such a beautiful view, but unfortunately, the accommodations do not match. For the price I would not recommend this place to anybody. We booked a three person room and it was very small for reference

Really liked the property and location. Be prepared to take the public lift, or a taxi to get up to the piazza and shopping. Too many steps and walking in a very winding road otherwise. The room had the smallest shower I have used before. Loved the hotel, area and staff.
