70 steps down from Anacapri.
Casa Caprile it’s located in Anacapri just 70 steps down from the bus stop ( I wish I know this before booking) because I’m traveling with my 83 years old mom so I’m carrying 2 luggage and my mom can’t really go up and down stairs easily. Otherwise it’s a beautiful building with very comfortable rooms, located in a beautiful area. The plus plus was the attentive employees, every single one was amazing form the front desk to the cleaning lady and the gentleman in charge of the breakfast BRAVO AND THANK YOU.

Beautiful environment. Nice big rooms. Good staff. Nice simple breakfasts. Major problem was no publicity about the about of steps down to & up from the hotel everytime we wanted to go anywhere. Elderly or those with mobility difficulties need to be informed of these steps— even to get to the bathroom!!!! Sorry, but at my age, I would NEVER choose this place again. If you are young & fit, it would be delightful.

Adequate Accomodations
The hotel was cute but out of the way and no A/C but hotel did provide a second fan for our comfort. TV was not great and shower was small but we got a good price so expectations were met. Very nice staff! Would recommend to budget travelers.

Hotel was most likely renovated 25-30 years ago, bathrooms are very old - tile is broken and water is not draining away properly, textile decoration in the room feel really outdated. However this is a good hotel for the price - nice terraces outside rooms to enjoy a quite evening surrounded by beautiful nature and nice location - 15 min walk to Anacapri centre and 20 to Villa San Michelle

What I didn't like was that we were asked by the receptionist to leave our passports with her for few hours. Other thing is that the wifi was only in the canteen room- nowhere else. We got the room that wasn't refurbrished probably for the last 20 years- mould on walls in the bathroom, holes on the walls, no paint in some bits. All the furniture were old and dusty- epecially curtains and lamp covers that were covered with a 1cm layer of dust and was splashed with paint. Receptionist served coffees during the breakfast- she prioritized people speaking her language no matter if they put the order as the last ones in the queue. She was also kinder for Italians than for the forigners. Would never come back there, don't recommend.

Nice place, but needs some repair
Casa Caprile is at a good place, right next to the city centre of Anacapri. It has a fantastic garden and if you get a room outside of the main building, it also comes with a small private terrace. However the room would definitely need some serious repairs. The wall in the bathroom was massively mouldy and even in the bedroom you could see that there must be some leakage on the roof, as at some places the ceiling was flaking or already has been fallen in pieces. Fortunately the room otherwise was clean (including the sheets and towels). The breakfast was the usual Italian style - lot of sweets and yoghurts. Overall not a bad choice for relatively good price (compared to the average in Capri).

Hotel is ok. Very hard to get to from the bus stop in plaza Victoria. GPS sends you through the road witch is not correct because it is easier through the narrow streets from plaza Caprile. There is a sign in Plaza Caprile about the hotel.

Check in was easy with one of the staff members. Most of the staff was helpful and nice, however one morning my husband and I asked the front desk woman if she could help us buy tickets for the blue grotto online (we had the site up on my phone so it was obvious there was a site that allowed this to be done), but she simply said "They don't like when you buy tickets online so just go there and buy them". It seemed like an answer you'd give to avoid helping someone. We weren't able to even buy tickets at the blue grotto because there was such a huge line, that's why we wanted to do it online. That was the only bad staff experience we had. Other than that, the hotel room was pleasant. There was no AC and only a small fan for the entire room. We couldn't leave the window open at night due to mosquitoes getting in, so needless to say we were hot. Breakfast was a nice bonus, and included coffee, croissants, and cereals. One inconvenient thing, was that there is WiFi but it is only available in their lounge. So anytime I wanted to get a hold of my family back home I had to get dressed and go downstairs to use the internet. We did not know this until we arrived, so it would have been nice to know ahead of time.

Mediocre experience!
Despite its beautiful exteriors, our stay was not very pleasant at all. We were placed in a room with no windows, no view, and no air conditioner. (Which wasn’t very nice in the summer heat). The staff were sort of friendly..however the breakfast was extremely limited in options. The amount we paid for one night was not worth it one cent. I would not recommend this hotel to a friend.

Quaint European B&B on Capri (Anacapri)
We had a lovely stay at Hotel Casa Caprile and would recommend it to others planning to stay on Anacapri. The hotel staff were friendly and accommodating to us and check-in was quick and easy. Some perks of this location - beautiful views from the rooms and terrace, great breakfast in the morning, and unique decor. The biggest thing to be aware of is some of the limitations of the location - the hotel is a 15-20 minute taxi or bus ride up the bluffs into the center of the island - you might be able to walk from the ferry, but it would take quite a while (hours) and is all uphill on roads not meant for pedestrians. The entrance to the hotel is down a number of steps, and would not be easily accessible for someone with disabilities or difficulty walking. The location is nearby a number of restaurants and shops, but is not overly touristy. We had a lovely one-night stay but could easily have stayed for a few more days!

Nice hotel
This hotel has a regal history. It was built for Queen Victoria of Sweden in 1907. It still has an air of its original purpose in housing royalty, with marble stairs and high ceilings. The house is easy to locate if you ask the locals, they all know about it. There are several ceramic tiles along the path leading out of the square, which are great for getting you to the front door. The staff is nice. The hotel is clean. The breakfast is good.

Quiet hotel with nice views in Anacapri
We enjoyed our stay at Casa Caprile. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The room had a balcony with a fantastic view. Breakfast was basic. Take note that there is not a road that goes in front of the hotel. This makes it peaceful, but the drawback is that you need to walk down several sets of stairs from the Piazza Caprile to the hotel with your luggage to get to the hotel. That wasn't a big issue for us but it would be if you have any mobility issues. You have to walk back up the steps to get back to Anacapri for the bus, shopping, restaurants, etc.

Casa Caprile is a gem of a hotel on the beautiful Anacapri side of the island. We had a large beautiful room that included a private patio and a view of the garden. The breakfast was generous with filled croissants, yogurt and cappuccinos.

It was just o.k.
We were dropped off by taxi and was told the hotel was just down a few steps. The hotel is located in Anacapri. We had two large roller suit cases and a few carry-ons. The hotel ended up being located down multiple levels of stairs and ramps and took about 15 minutes to get all of the bags to the hotel door, I even saw broken pieces of luggage wheels along the walk from previous peoples luggage (not fun). The check in girl was nice, but we were too early to check in, we were allowed to leave our bags at the check in area for a few hours while we walked around. We walked about 10+ minutes from the hotel and found a nice shopping area where we could wander around for a few hours. We returned to the hotel to check in and we were put in a room the furthest from the check-in area, and wouldn't you know, more stairs. It was a basic room, with what looked like a mix of worn furniture, and a tiny T.V.. The bathroom had the necessities but could use a good cleaning of the tile grout, and the corners of the shower were stained and rusty from where water leaks around the metal shower frame and down the tub. The toilet had major orange looking stains from where the water comes in and looked like it hadn't been properly cleaned for months. Wi-Fi only works near the reception area, not in the room. Breakfast was in a small room with a few tables near the reception desk. Very basic. All in all it was just a place to sleep, no frills

Put us in a room with no A/C and worn out bed.
The first night we arrived the hotel put us in the worst hotel room i've ever stayed in. It had no A/C and smelled unpleasant. When we asked about a room with A/C they said we did not book a room with A/C which is not accurate based on Expedia's website. The shower had mold in it and the mattress was so worn out it completely collapsed under you. Combine that with no A/C in the middle of summer and needless to say me and my pregnant wife got little sleep. The hotel moved us into a much nicer room the next night thankfully but they should not book guests in this room.

Ok hotel
This was a similar price to Il Girasole, which was fully booked. However il Girasole had a pool, bar and air con. I'd recommend staying there if you can. Breakfast was also not good - just bread rolls and yogurts. However, if you end up like we were with a limited budget and Il Girasole is fully booked, this is a clean and spacious hotel in a good location. Also note that there is no mirror in the room, only in the bathroom.

Good family hotel.
It is a good hotel. A bit faded, but good for a family vacation. It is away from the hustle and bustle of Capri, you would do well to travel by bus or taxi to and from it, but our 3 rooms were facing a nice, quiet garden and had each a patio where our family could hang out.

82 Stairs and Dirty Headboards
We were excited to stay at this property as the photos look amazing. What you don't hear about is that there are 82 stairs from the road to the hotel and being pregnant this was not something I really wanted to endure. When we got to the room the head boards have a cloth material and it was stained and I don't even want to imagine what was on it. The toilet would not flush and we asked for another room but the hotel was sold out and none were available I was told that you had to work the toilet in a certain way to make it flush. The continental breakfast that was offered was offensive the bread was stale and when I say stale I mean rock hard. I would not recommend this hotel at all it was the worse accommodation I have ever stayed at in Italy and I have travelled many times to Italy.

Quiet hotel on a hill
We stayed for two nights here. Overall, I recommend it. However, here is some information to decide if it is for you. To get to the hotel you have to take transportation to Anacapri €1.80 a person and per bag. Or you can take a cool taxi for €27. Then you have to walk down quite a few stairs to get to the hotel. This is fine if you are able bodied and have small suitcases. Some people might not like this. Breakfast: It's a fairly typical Italian hotel breakfast. Coffee, yogurt, breads and pastries. If you are expecting full English or American you will need to look elsewhere. For us it was just fine. The staff will make you whatever kind of coffee you want... cappuccino, americano, espresso. There are plenty of restaurants and shops in Anacapri within walking distance of the hotel. Anywhere else can be reached by the bus that comes frequently. The rooms are a little dated, but the price also reflects this. We thought it was good value for the money. The rooms are clean and you should be out enjoying yourself anyways!

I will recommend this hotel because it is close to the center and walking distance to the main bus stop and to the chairlift to Mount Solaro also from the bus stop you can go to the grotta azurra. Only downside no free Wifi

Nice hotel but facilities im bad shape.
Not a classic hotel. We were put in a room that seemed it was not made for guests of the hotel- in its design, comfort.. and it was very noisy.. Later we asked to transfer. The staff was very nice and transfered us to a better room.. but still the shower and the wall in the closet space seemed not to have been taken care of for a long time. Both rooms didnt have airconditioning.. but there are big windows and good breeze. Breakfast was poor.. I understood that this was the most simple rooms they had and that there were better rooms..still we paid 90 euro.. no need to neglect.

The hotel is in a good location in the center of Anacapri.the room was quite old fashioned and had trouble with the water in the sink or a few lamps not working. The most important is that there is no wifi in the room and we were not told in advance. The staff was quite friendly and gentle.

Far from everything but affordable
It was quite pricey compared to all the hostels I stayed at the rest of the trip but, it was expected as it is categorized as a hotel. A bus is required to get anywhere busy like main capri or the grotto azzurra but the facilities were nice. If you're on a budget this is a good option compared to other places which may be available. As a whole the night life was not good but, this is coming from a student.

Capri 2016
We arrived and were sown to our room, it was nice and cool as the air conditioning was on. It had a nice sized bathroom, the only thing was the television was a bit small. It had a nice view from our room. The only thing was i am disabled and it a bit of a trek down stairs to get to the hotel. Use the bus from Capri it cost 1.80 euro each, the hotel is about a 10 min walk from the bus station. The staff were helpful enough in advice.

Nice Hotel - Offering the "Italian Experience"
The best parts of this hotel are its location and its staff. The site is conveniently central to Anacapri; reasonable walks to local conveniences, eateries, shopping and to island-wide transfer centers. The staff is first-class all the way: the registration personnel doubled as concierge services and were quite helpful to us for comfortably making the most of our 3-day/2-night stay. Rooms were adequate but no more that 3-star comfort. With sea breezes, the semi-private half-walled patios were refreshing; when the air was still, it bordered on stifling especially in the room. Heat & humidity without air conditioning provided a part of the true "Italian experience," as did the friendliness and hospitality of the staff.

Nice and quiet hotel in Anacapri
Casa Caprile is a beautiful house, the staff is very gentil, my room was big and comfortable. It doesn't have a frontal view of the sea but it's pretty anyway. the only issue is the accesibility due the steps that may be a problem for tourists with heavy or many suitcases. The bus stops in front where the steps begins. Generally, people in Capri is very nice and friendly, everybody knows each other (taxi drivers, bus drivers, police officers...) and it was pretty nice to see how a community can get along well.

Decent but dated
This hotel is comfortable, reasonably priced and the lady at reception was exceptionally helpful. However the furniture is old and there are about 30 steps to get to the hotel, so getting there with luggage is extremely difficult. My biggest complaint was that it advertised a sea view , when there is actually a view of trees with a small patch of sea in the far distance. This annoyed me as I thought it was deliberately misleading. But the lady at reception was so helpful and friendly, that I got over my irritation. So a pleasant stay after all, but dont expect a sea view and beware of the difficulty of the steps.
