Truly an excellent stay. Staff went above and beyond the entire time. Blew me away with an incredible upgrade, fabulous dining, and the best view in Positano. Historic and full of charming atmosphere, but comfortable for the modern traveler. The bed was a delight, and they will soften or firm it to your liking. Deep soaking tub, large terrace, memorable food. Don’t miss!

The location of the hotel is great. It has a beautiful view of Positano. With 15 minute walk you get to the shops and restaurants. There is only one restaurant near the hotel. The room’s furniture is very old and overall didn’t worth the price and they are very strict about having a guest at the hotel which was very strange as Positano is a place to reunite with your friends. The room service menu is very limited. Housekeeping team was fantastic. They work so hard for guests to enjoy their stay.

Hi Armineh, thank you for sharing your experience here! We're sorry the style of the Hotel didn't match your expectations and that you found the security rules too strict: the only reason why we need to have visitors' IDs is to guarantee a safe and secure space for us all and for those staying with us. Thank you for your feedback and for your great words about the Housekeeping staff: rest assured they'll be shared with them all. We hope to see you again!

Wonderful views from our room which gave a surreal feeling whenever we went on the balcony! Hotel was very clean and all staff were friendly. Restaurant/bar gave good vibes especially during the night, and their food was delicious! Only reason why I didn’t give 5/5 stars is because they charged for tea bags and coffee packets when we ran out of it in our room! Surely a lavish and expensive hotel such as this can provide basic tea and coffee for free. I’m assuming housekeeping would’ve replenished them if I didn’t put up the “do not disturb” sign, which begs the question why I was charged for it then? Apart from that, I highly recommend Hotel Poseidon!

Older Hotel with Great Restaurant and Views
The hotel restaurant and lounge area are great--spectacular views and good food! The hotel itself is clearly one of the older in Positano. It was repeatedly mentioned that despite its appearance the elevator was safe. Our bathroom was cramped with a very small shower--not what I would have expected for a room at this price point. Plugging in a hair dryer blew out a fuse on our first day so had to be careful about what we had plugged in. There was a storm one night and the wind caused a shutter outside to bang for a couple of hours which made it hard to sleep. Staff very helpful in setting up transportation.

Experience exceeded expectations
Was very happy with our stay and accommodations! The hotel feels like you are a guest in an Italian Villa. The staff are attentive, but not overly and not in your face. The rooms and accommodations are classic Italian decor, but updated and clean. The amenities are thought through - complimentary beach bag and towels when needed, flip-flops, quality robes, towels, toiletries. The bar staff is friendly and the food and drinks excellent. The location can't be beat - the pool deck and views! proximity to the touristy shops and beach, but far enough up that you can avoid it all and instead visit the higher quality, excellent restaurants and shops going up the hill from the hotel. It has a direct stair access (long and steep) to the harbor to bypass the crowds. I was very happy with our stay and would love to return again.

The location is wonderful, which is very important in Positano, as they are close enough to walk to the beaches and restaurants easily. The staff is superb and are very knowledgeable about Positano and the Amalfi coast, and they are well-connected to other businesses in the area, which was so helpful during our stay in terms of booking excursions and reservations (especially during busy season!!). I could not recommend Hotel Poseidon enough!! Make sure you say hi to Tony by the pool, he is fantastic ! And be sure to try their restaurant, which is considered very authentic and delicious, even by local standards.

The property and staff were excellent, no complaints about them at all. Just the hotel was VERY expensive and to be honest, the rooms not very big and very Blah, your basic everyday room. For the amount of money you paid to stay here, you expect something more. For the money, would not recommend.

We could stay there for months! The staff was fantastic and friendly, especially Giancarlo and Aldo at reception and Lucca at the restaurant. As we were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary they offered a bottle of prosecco when we arrived, which was really nice! The room was spacious and charming, with a comfortable bed, powerful AC, a large and very clean bathroom, and the view from our balcony was breathtaking. The included breakfast was amazing, with a great buffet, including mimosas, with the wonderful view of Positano and the sea, sitting in the beautiful outside area of ​​the restaurant. The hotel's location is excellent, near shops and restaurants. Photos do not do justice to the beauty of the place, it is much better in person. Very charming and beautiful, I can say that it is a 4.5 star hotel altogether and with excellent service. It was definitely the best stay of our trip, better than we imagined. We highly recommend it!

We stayed here for 4 nights to end our 3 week honeymoon across Europe, and quite simply we couldn't have picked a better spot to end an unforgettable trip. The views from our suite's balcony and the common areas were breathtaking, we couldn't get enough of them. The room was spacious and clean, with a comfortable bed, large TV, powerful A/C, big bathroom and of course the lovely private balcony with amazing views of lovely Positano and the sea. The staff were fantastic and friendly, especially Tony who was our server at the pool. The included breakfast was amazing, with a great buffet assortment as well as a station for made to order omelettes, pancakes and waffles. We had lunch at the pool most days, which offered a good assortment of food like sandwiches, burgers, salads and appetizers. Tony recommended we try the fried squid, which was delicious. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant, Il Tridente, one night and the food and service were excellent. We enjoyed ending each night on the terrace cocktail bar with a fancy drink while admiring the spectacular views. The location is as convenient as can be in Positano, close to many shops and restaurants. The beach was a short walk away via the steps. We enjoyed the pool so much that we only went to the beach for sightseeing. Quite simply this was the best hotel we have ever stayed at, and it was very hard to leave. We highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit Positano and we look forward to returning again in the future!
