Short stay, so we overall enjoyed it.
Pros:

Attentive, friendly & helpful staff
The terrace was very nice with great views

Cons:

Bed, bedding & pillows were all uncomfortable.
To reach our room we needed to take stairs both up & down plus walk outdoors to link to a second building..….not what we expected.
No lift in hotel.

Lovely heritage hotel for stay & dining. Exceptional hospitality service and warm welcome to Asian travelers.
Pros:

Hotel Poseidon is a charming heritage stay in Positano, and our Room 19 was impressively spacious with thoughtful amenities, including a dedicated makeup mirror that made getting ready easy. Both dining and breakfast come with a stunning panoramic view, though capturing those iconic Instagram shots is now a bit harder because of the many umbrellas used for shade. Still, the atmosphere remains beautiful, and the staff are truly exceptional—warm, attentive, and always ready to help with anything you need. A lovely, comfortable stay overall.

Perfection in Positano
Pros:

Perhaps it is hard to mess up a hotel in Positano but this hotel was close to perfect. After much debate on room type, we booked a premium room ; these come with an exceptionally large private terrace and are reasonably private (if you're standing at the edge you can see the other balconies but not if you're lounging in a chair). The views are completely accurate and stunning. Note that if it is raining or recently rained, the balcony is pretty unusable without cover. The room itself was large with a reasonably modern bathroom (perhaps not in decor, but in function). A minibar with snacks was a nice touch.

The hotel itself has many levels and stairs, which I think may be one of the reasons it maintains such a historic, boutique feel. Front desk staff were pleasant and helpful in arranging car transport and transport of bags down to the ferry.

The breakfast each morning was fantastic, with the rising sun beautifully blocked by shades on their outdoor terrace. A small daily "newspaper" with facts about Amalfi Coast or Positano is a nice touch.

We did not use the pool area, although it looked relatively small. That being said, the pool deck is beautiful and one could easily hang out there with amazing views if you wanted to book a cheaper room category.

One thing to note: in April at least this hotel faces sunrise, not sunset. This can mean that your balcony is in shade during much of the afternoon and can get rather cool, and of course, you miss the sunsets.

Outstanding Hotel, One of the Best
Pros:

If I could give this hotel 12/10 I would! One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The hotel staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable they always had a smile on their face, said hello and could do more to help us.
Our room was amazing with a beautiful balcony and air con that worked perfectly (a must in the heat) Breakfast was incredible but the stand out was the beautiful pool and deck area, I could have stayed there forever! Thank you to the team for making our stay perfect. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this wonderful place
