About the Hotel
When Le Sirenuse opened in 1951, it captured the tranquility, sophistication and style that have made the town of Positano a beloved retreat on the Amalfi Coast. This intimate former summer home resides just 35 miles southeast of Naples, and its terraces gaze across Homerâ€(TM)s legendary Island of the Sirens. Vibrant Vietri tiles, cool whitewashed walls and an abundance of natural light give the bedrooms character, while vaulted ceilings, antique furniture and old master paintings embellish the suites. Savor a romantic dining experience at La Sponda Restaurant, featuring a drapery of bougainvillea and hundreds of candles.
Due to its many stairs and high balconies, Le Sirenuse is not suitable for children under the age of 6 years old.

Impeccable service and locale.
Impeccable. It's hard to imagine more considerate service -- not scripted, not staged, just a sincere sense of welcome. The location is stunning and the food superb. My suggestion: We enjoyed their "casual" dining restaurant as much their "elegant." (And the breakfast from 7:30 to 11:30 is superb).

Beautiful hotel, first class experience
This beautiful hotel is situated in the heart of Positano overlooking the sea. Due to its elevation, the views are unmatched. Staff is very professional, accommodating and friendly, catering to individual needs of the client. We had a beautiful room above the dining area that provided killer views. The room was well maintained by cleaning staff, had a comfortable bed and sitting area as well as a marble tiled bathroom. Shopping and dining was just a step out the front door. Extremely convenient location. Definately worth the stay.

Le Sirenuse Beauty and Warm Service
The hotel is absolutely beautiful. There is so much amazing attention to detail and beauty throughout the hotel. The staff is warm and helpful. They go above and beyond for you. The restaurants were phenomenal! I loved both.

Leaves more to be desired
Le Sirenuse is one of those names that carries a certain mystique, Positano’s crown jewel with legendary views, a dramatic cliffside setting, and a reputation that precedes itself. There’s no denying its two strongest assets: the location and the view. They’re breathtaking, cinematic even. Dining at La Sponda, with its candlelit vines and picture-perfect panorama, feels like a scene out of a movie. Franco’s Bar—chic, buzzy, effortlessly cool—was another highlight that lived up to the hype. These are the moments where Le Sirenuse shines, no question. But here’s the truth: when it comes to the hotel experience itself, there’s more left to be desired. The stay started on the wrong foot. We were told a representative would greet us at the port and guide us along with our luggage porter—simple enough for a hotel of this caliber. Except no one was there. No direction, no clarification on who to talk to. Just confusion. Not exactly the welcome you expect from a supposed five-star institution. The room itself was… fine. Mid-tier. Styled to look luxurious with its old-world charm, but beneath the surface? Not 5-star. The shower door refused to close, flooding the floor every time we used it. Maintenance feels like an afterthought in a building that has seen many renovations. And then the kind of thing you never want to end a vacation on—ants in the room the very last night. By morning, it had gotten considerably worse. The hotel’s response? A casual apology. No manager check-in, no gesture to make it right. Not even acknowledgment beyond the bare minimum. That’s the biggest miss here: the follow-through. It’s incredibly easy to claim five stars—it’s another thing to deliver them consistently, especially in the basics of communication, service, and maintenance. On the same trip, we stayed at Hotel La Palma in Capri, and the contrast was night and day. Service there set a clear benchmark: polished, proactive, attentive. The kind of experience that not only meets expectations but exceeds them. Le Sirenuse, by comparison, felt complacent, relying heavily on its reputation and location instead of evolving its guest experience to match. Le Sirenuse is iconic. The scene, the view, the restaurants, they sing. But as a hotel? It’s a 3/5. Not a disaster, but certainly not the seamless, five-star experience its reputation—and its rates—promise. With some fine-tuning, it could match the legend that surrounds it. But until then, the mystique might be a little brighter than the reality.

Amazing
Everything was wonderful. 10/10. The location is perfect. Breakfast was included and it was delicious. The bed was comfortable. My husband and I didn’t have any complaints.
