Terrace restaurant: amazing view below average at best food
Pros:

Ate lunch at their terrace restaurant: amazing view, very average food at best, in fact the only meal we had in 10 days that was’t good. The pour of the wine was pathetic/minute especially for the cost, ridiculous

Le point fort de l’hôtel est son emplacement et la vue
Pros:

L’emplacement est idéal et la vue est vraiment sublime. L’hôtel est calme et le personnel gentil, serviable professionnel et attentif.

Cons:

Le prix de la chambre est un peu cher par rapport aux prestations proposées (plus de 300 euros la nuit). À ce prix là en France vous avez accès à des hôtels plus luxueux.

Needs to put a small menu at the front gate advertising food and drink. There was a reason the patio was empty all week
Pros:

Clean , most part, friendly staff( except 1 young lady waitress) great Salvatore, Luigi,michel , front desk staff. One waitress a little “ full of herself”

Cons:

“Dead of energy “ esp at patio, bar(5’X5’) area. It was crammed into its spot. A bar area is often a place of congregation, meeting others , making new friends.Totally impossible here. That area was an afterthought. Drinks a little pricy! A little, low decibel, Italian music would have been novel! Sat down for breakfast, 5 family members got menus 15 minutes later and was told the buffet was just closed. Poor waitstaff business decision and non-caring attitude. Our 3- rooms of people never went back for food or drink the next 4 days!!! CAN U SAY- lost revenue!!! All because of the “Initial” encounter, the first day. I think her name was Bianca?!

Great view, everything else is tired...
Pros:

Our travel agent booked us here and we were disappointed with this choice. The view from our room was amazing but the room itself was tired and dated. You can tell that this hotel was probably wonderful a couple decades ago. My 90 year old in-laws would have loved it there. In fact, it felt very much like we were staying in their home. It is clean, well located and the staff is nice but the hotel is very much in need of an update and some love. We would not stay here again.

Well suited for a family , would definitely go back for dinner but would go elsewhere for breakfast and lunch
Pros:

The evening staff in the restaurant made our experience amazing and the food was incredible, we also had a lovely surprise of having a hot tub on our balcony! Also the pool was amazing X

Cons:

Breakfast and lunch staff and food options were poor , the staff during these times made us feel very unwelcome and did affect our experience

Perfect in every way!
Pros:

We had an amazing stay at Hotel Rufolo and I can’t recommend it enough. The location is perfect, right in town with easy access and overlooks the Amalfi Coast and Villa Rufolo gardens. The hotel itself is beautiful and clean with spacious rooms. Would absolutely stay here again, thank you.

Pros:

Everything was great, except the beds. Very old and unconfortable beds. It would be so easy to buy new beds and make this a perfect hotel...

But again, the rest was great. Amazing view, amazing room and amazing staff.

What a dream!
Pros:

Hotel Rufolo is a dream. The rooms are lovely and clean and we had the most beautiful terrace with the most incredible view. The staff is so lovely and accommodating. The breakfast buffet is wonderful. The hotel is very centrally located and you don’t have to walk up and down the side of the mountain to get to the hotel. It is a one minute walk to the pizzas and shopping. The restaurant is wonderful. I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. I hope to return soon.

Pros:

10/10 such an amazing experience the city wasn’t too packed like Amalfi and Positano but even more beautiful. Locals were very nice the restaurants were amazing and so close so many options they were so clean I’d have a cleaning lady come in my room even if I was gone only 15 minutes I highly highly recommend anyone this hotel and city just an amazing experience truly I’m not just saying that I even learned a little bit of Italian and made some friends with locals it feels like I’m leaving my home. 11/10

Pros:

Wow what an amazing place. A must visit! The views are amazing, staff incredible, food out of this world and the town quant and full of life. We left Positano early due to it not being our vibe. What a great decision
