Perfect location, clean, air-conditioned & soundproofed rooms, great food, superb staff
Pros:

Perfect location, easily walkable to/from town, fantastic staff, always willing to help our every needs. Air Conditioning in the rooms was fine, and although we were facing the waterfront and main walkway, the double-glazed windows sound-proofed the room perfectly. Rooftop bar at night was special also. Breakfast buffet service was a bit odd as you couldn't serve yourself, you had to request from a member of staff who would roam up and down the buffet area selecting the items you wanted, but we got used to it.

Cons:

There isn't a gym or a pool, which is a shame, but not a showstopper as the beach/sea is literally on your doorstep. The breakfast buffet service where a member of staff selects the items for you from the buffet area was strange also, but again not a showstopper and we got used to it pretty quickly.

Excellent location with helpful staff
Pros:

Excellent location, very close to the ferry and short walk to Amalfi centre. The rooms were spacious and clean and the view from the balcony in the room was lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful. The roof top bar was a real bonus, with amazing views and a nice way to end the day after sightseeing.

Cons:

The lights went out on a couple of occasions with no warning. The bathroom also flooded late one evening as the shower wasn't draining, there was no in house plumber to assist, but the night manager tried to help as much as possible.

Séjour de rêve sur la côte amalfitaine 😍
Pros:

L’emplacement, la propreté des chambres et de l’hôtel en général, la terrasse avec vue incroyable pour prendre l’apéritif au coucher du soleil, la gentillesse du personnel et la décoration très typique.
La vue sur mer au réveil est magnifique 🥰

Cons:

Du bruit le matin avec l’entretien de la ville juste sous nos fenêtres qui laissent passer le bruit…. Mais l’hôtel n’y est pour rien…

Pros:

El personal muy bueno. Amabilísimos. Amplias las habitaciones, la vista al mar, y divina su terraza rooftop con vista a todo! La ubicación es muy buena para quienes no quieren subir todos los días millones de escaleras en Amalfi. Y a una cuadra de los ferries y del bus que va a Ravello y otros destinos

Cons:

Agregaría una pava electrica en la habitación y mejor frigobar

Hôtel agréable, mais il y beaucoup de choses à améliorer
Pros:

L'emplacement est idéal pour visiter Amalfi et pour se déplacer dans d'autres villes en ferry et en bus ...

Cons:

Pas d'Internet dans la chambre, ni réseau 4G ou 5G ... on était coupé du monde, on à signalé cela à l'accueil mais sans aucune réaction .... et on était obligé de descendre à la halle de réception pour se connecter !
1ere nuit :
1- coupure d'électricité en pleine nuit
2- on est monté sur la terrasse 4eme étage pour passer une soirée au roof, on était mal accueilli et ils nous ont imposé de s'asseoir sur une table à leur choix alors qu'il y avait d'autres tables libres ... on est sorti sans hésitation... dommage car on envisageait de passer toutes les find de soirées en haut ... !
