Hotel Poseidon

What a gorgeous hotel. Such friendly staff that make you feel so welcome! Our rooms were just gorgeous with a view to die for. I just couldn't get enough of it. I took way too many photos of the view! You must enjoy an Aperitivo on the terrace and the restaurant was also fantastic. Lovely walk down to the beachfront with a reasonable walk back up via the road or the stairs - makes you happy you haven't booked a hotel right at the top of Positano. But the views, they are magnificent, I don't know if you could beat it.

Never known anything like it and would return in a heartbeat!!!! High up on the mountain - views to die for. Dont worry about doing down to the harbour - the walk back up frightened me slightly (pensioner) but I took it at my own pace - and soaked in the views, the shops and the people.... Will never ever forget Positano.......

We spent 5 nights at Poseidon this month with our three teenage children in two adjoining rooms with terraces that overlooked Positano and the Mediterranean. We never tired of that view. The rooms were spacious and elegant, albeit dated. The beds were uncomfortable. They need new beds in those rooms, at least. The hotel front desk staff members were consistently helpful and gracious, and present throughout the hotel, a rarity these days. They took pride in the hotel. We asked for a lot of help during our stay, and they always delivered with a smile. The standard for food throughout our two week trip in Italy was very high, and Poseidon's food was not a highlight, I must say. Overall, a very nice hotel in a wonderful town.

We stayed in Poseidon for 3 nights during our honeymoon. Out of the 8 hotels we visited in Italy, Poseidon was by far the best. The location is great, the breakfast delicious, the personnel extremely friendly, helpful and attentive and the pool is a great bonus. We felt so at home at Poseidon and were sad to leave.

The hotel is family owned and the service is excellent , professional and attentive. We had a lovely and most welcome upgrade from a junior suite to a superior one, which came with a wonderful big terrace, though furniture lacked a bit of character. Breakfast buffet was among the best we've had anywhere in the world, swimming pool area is well kept, though nowadays the pool would have been designed differently (this one is nice but dates back a few decades; after all - unless you have small children with you - you don't come to Positano for the hotel swimming pool....). Dinner on the other hand was a slight let-down: not much character in the dishes, basically felt it fell in the "hotel food" category where you cannot take the risk of being too "special".
