Hotel Il Gabbiano

Perfect stay for legendary Positano

Loved my stay at this hotel. The staff was perfect and my room, Comfort Room, had a patio with a lemon tree and swa views. I could've stayed another 2 months. :)

We stayed at Hotel Gabbiano 3 nights
We loved our stay, views were gorgeous, staff super friendly & helpful , giving us great information
Breakfast was great
It was 15 -30 minutes walk to main square, of course lots of steps & up and down , but this Positano after all
We would definitely stay here if we ever come to Posatino again ❤️🙏

Great hotel. Clean, quiet, amazing terrace. Great breakfast every morning delivered to your room. Friendly staff. We loved our beautiful visitors Cats would come to our terrace and hang with us.

All was great , hotel is in a nice location that we liked a lot , I put 4 star for Staff , just because the lady at the reception was a little too serious and argumentative, although she was helpful and at the end didn’t charge us for water , but we were afraid of asking her for anything!! The younger lady was super nice and friendly, in general we are happy and pleased.

The good:
The hotel is VERY clean. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the rooms and the common areas. We also liked the location and the balcony in our room. The walk up to the hotel from the port/beach is very daunting especially with luggage, but that’s an issue in Positano as a whole. The A/C worked well in the room, which was a huge plus for us during an extremely hot time of year

The not so good:
The walls are incredibly thin. We could hear everything in the rooms next door and in the hallways. We were stuck next to some noisy families so it was pretty loud throughout our stay. We were also pretty disappointed by the lack of working wifi. Not sure if the wifi was only working in certain areas, but it didn’t work AT ALL for us during our stay. We were also disappointed by the up-charge for cooked eggs for breakfast. Having to give our key to the front desk every day before leaving the hotel was kind of weird as well. And it would have been nice to have some help from the front desk to help arrange a porter service for our bags.

Awesome. Great location, helpful staff, excellent restaurant

Great hotel. Would highly recommend. Very thankful they had parking as it is very difficult in Positano to park. Fantastic food and great breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was very clean with a great view. Very central.

Loved everything about this stay. Everyone was hospitable. The rooms were beautiful and clean. Breakfast was perfect and on time everyday. Not too far up from main attractions. I will be back!

We were super impressed with this hotel. I wasn’t sure what to expect based on pictures, so I was pleasantly surprised with the rooms, service and overall stay. The location was perfect. The staff was friendly. They arranged private transportation for us which went great as well!

The hotel was very beautiful with a view of the Sea. Balcony was a great addition to sit down in the morning and have breakfast. In the evening after dinner the calm night was spectacular. The local bus was great to use to get around. Stairs are located nearby of you want a 15 minute cardio fix.

Great lovely little hotel!
Definitely recommend if you're visiting Positano. Perfect location, fantastic view from the rooms, super nice staff, rooms were very clean and refurbished. 100% recommend

Fantastic!

Lovely hotel with excellent staff. Beautiful views. Hotel offers breakfast either in dining area or your room. Wonderful menu to choose from. This town is a challenge for anyone with mobility issues, so spring for a taxi. That said, it is one of our favorite places to visit in Italy.

The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful!! The location is very good!! Would definitely recommend

The Cinque Terre staff was very communicative both before and during our stay. They couldn't have been more accommodating.

Stunning sea views, plentiful delicious breakfast. Highly recommend you use the porter to carry your bag up from the harbour. It’s a lot of steps! Take ear plus if you’re a light sleeper - you can hear everything that’s going on in the rooms around you including the creaky beds.

Great hotel with amazing sea views

Wonderful hotel setting with views to the west from every balcony. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff, and a delicious breakfast pre ordered the night before and served on the balcony. Location is ideal for walking both up and down in the town ( lots of steps are inevitable wherever you stay ). Wifi is too patchy to stream but worked fine for emails. Very happy with the choice.

Same as 7 years ago… fantastic!
