My friend and I came to Hotel Posa Posa in July 2023 and cannot recommend it enough. They arranged our transportation to and from the airport. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The location is perfec—it’s far enough from the main shopping area that makes it accessible but not overwhelming due to crowds, when we booked a trip to Capri it was a very close walk to the meeting place, there’s a bus stop literally next door, multiple delicious restaurants are within a five minute walk, and the entrance to the stair path to Fornillo Beach is right next door (and I’d highly recommend this instead of the Spiaggia Grande if you’re going at high tourist season). When we return to Positano, there’s no doubt we’ll stay here again!

Beautiful Hotel. We booked a room with a view and the view was everything I had hoped - I think it is the photo used on Expedia. We traveled mid- October and very few people . Our room was spotless and the balcony was very nice. We drove and there was parking in a private lot across from the hotel.

Very friendly staff and assistance with directions etc. I highly recommend the hotel location because it’s close to restaurants but not in the city center crowd!

The views from the rooftop and rooms are incredible. The staff was extremely helpful with aiding us in booking a private boat cruise and transfers out of town. The rooms are a little dated and the mattress bed frame were not great but fairly consistent with other 4-star hotels on the Amalfi coast we stayed at.

My husband and I stayed at Hotel osa Posa for 5 nights for our honeymoon and loved it! We had an issue with our initial hotel booking and last minute got booked at Posa Posa and we were not disappointed! They were extremely welcoming and accommodating. Our room was lovely, clean and cold (which was great considering we were travelling in the middle of the heat wave). The location of the hotel is a little higher up in Positano which we loved, we were still in walking distance from the beach and the square but we got to be a little further away from all the busy tourist areas/people. There are some amazing restaurants further up from the main square plus we had a sea view room so we had incredible views from our balcony! We had breakfast everyday on the terrace. I would very much recommend Hotel Posa Posa if you are wanting to stay in Positano!

The staff were extremely kind and helpful. The view from my balcony was excellent. It was good to have a pool, and the pool deck was also an excellent place to sit with a beautiful view of the town and the sea. It is an old school hotel, understated with class, older style decor kept up well. The breakfast was good, once again a great view. Being an older building, the noise from the next room was pretty noticable, and on the deck next to me the folks smoked cigars as well as at the pool. But thats Europe. Its quite a trudge into the main part of Positano, you have to be ready for a long walk into town proper and a longer one back. Be aware, the pool is small and shallow, you wont be swimming, but probably a plus with kids. The restaurant and staff are great, but expensive. I would stay again, and would say my experience was "very good".

Good location but not very clean.
For the price, we were expecting nicer and cleaner accommodations. Bathroom was dirty with shower and sink handles having white mold. Also, they did not change sheets during our stay.

The hotel is not even close to the star rating shown. Room has lot of humidity, towels were worn out, bathroom not well maintained and with nonexistent ventilation. A day of heavy rain leaked through the lateral windows. Definitively not worth what we paid.

We were a little nervous about staying at Hotel Posa Posa because of some negative reviews. However our experience was really good overall. The welcome when we arrived was warm and genuine. We had a brilliant view from our room and looked forward to our stay. The room was clean and spacious so all good. There were some maintenance issues that were a little annoying like not all the wall sockets worked but we got around that. I may not have seen it in on the website but the pool wasnt open (May to Sep only) so that was a real shame. There was a small wine bar on the ground floor but I didn't see it open once. Breakfast was good and served on the sunny terrace which was lovely. We were told on check in that we would have a complimentary welcome drink in the bar but that never happened. One evening we went up to the terrace restaurant for a late drink but when the waiter realised we didnt want food he was a little off with us. So we ended up just having breakfast in the hotel. We also did not have a small bistro table on our little balcony when other rooms did. So that was disappointing. But we did have 2 little chairs so we enjoyed those to take advantage of the view. There were plenty of shops and restaurants close by so that was useful. There is a local bus that you can use to get around but we walked up to the hotel when we needed to. It is a bit of a pull up the hills but doable. All in all a pleasant hotel. We enjoyed our room and our stay.

We had a lovely time at Posa-Posa. Giulio and his team really made sure we had a good time, and nothing beats that view from the breakfast and dinner terrace. Would certainly return!

I will begin this review with stating that the Guilo and the restaurant staff were very nice and attentive. The views are spectacular! The rest is not so good. I have to be honest with this review as I have relied on many reviews to plan and book my travel and I’m disappointed that the reviews I’ve read of this property did not paint the full picture. The condition of the hotel is POOR! We paid a lot for the daily room rate and chose this hotel because reviews said central to town, pool etc…. The pool is in terrible disrepair, dirty and stained liner you would not imagine to even dip your toe! The pool deck beyond dirty! The Outdoor lounge furniture broken. The balcony in my room had broken loungers and mud all over. Bathrooms moldy and smelly. It was an awful accommodation and shocking to see the many good reviews. During our stay 3 other families complained of the same issues. The walk to town was far. 15-20 minute walk. Going down not the issue coming up was terrible. Taxis would cost €30-40 bc it’s a one way road. Only convenient to a few shops but not the central town.

Great staff but run down hotel…
Staff is very friendly, location is great, and the views from the room are really good. But the hotel is run down - the pool is terrible, the bathrooms are really dated, internet is spotty and there is a odd smell when you enter the hotel. The curtains don’t block much light so be prepared to wake up early unless you can sleep in a bright room.
