“could have done better!”

i don't want to sound harsh as i think the hotel amalfi is probably similar to many other small hotels in the area. however, i do feel in 2010 they could make a little more effort to make a stay there more comfortable. the room (a triple was cramped even with 2 adults and 1 child), and basic. the air con was a benefit and worked efficiently, but we could have done with a fridge. not a big ask in a climate so hot. the room and bathroom were cleaned thoroughly each day and towels changed but although the shower was super powerful with plenty of hot water, it had to be held up by hand as it was not wall mounted. breakfast was adequate with fresh pastries, rolls, cereal, fruit and proper coffee. the location is perfect. plenty of steps to negotiate and be prepared to be woken up by the dawn chorus of church bells most mornings.would i return? i am not sure. i will probably search out one of the other small hotels in the area and give them a try. hotel amalfi features in uk brochures but could do better in 2010.

“Nice hotel”

If you are looking for something in the heart of Amalfi then this is it.... unless you have issues with stairs. The breakfasts were yummy with fresh croissants and cappuchinos and everyone was friendly. We stayed here for almost a week, using it as home base to explore. We we incredibly impressed with the cleaning staff. You could have eaten off of any surface in this place. As far as we could tell they cleaned from sun up til sundown and everything was scrubbed and polished. Disappointed that they did not have a computer we could use, not even for rent. We did not experience this anywhere else and since we were not able to pack a computer we had to use the pricey little internet cafe which was conveniently located. Front desk staff not knowledgable about ferry schedules etc. We learned the hard way! Also they block international phone cards from your room phone and just tell you to go use a payphone. We never were able to get our phone card to work either. In the morning the church bells start to ring (in your ear) at 7 am. Since you are next to the church it's impossible to sleep through that. We are early risers so didn't mind too much.

“Charming and lovely hotel in a perfect location at at great price”

Wonderful hotel in the heart of this beautiful little village. We took the train from Naples to Sorrento, then a bus from Sorrento to Amalfi. When we arrived in Amalfi we were going to take a taxi to the hotel, but the driver waved us off with "just walk into the piazza and it's around the corner to the left." It was easy to find and delightful. Only drawback is that it is many big steps up to it from street level. So if you have trouble with stairs this won't work for you. But we loved our stay. Breakfast on the rooftop was delightful and charming. The hotel can be just a bit noisy, since it is right on the main street, but it was not a real problem and the charm of the place outweighed that completely. The staff was great and helpful. Be sure to go to Ravello, the next village to see Villa Rufolo! We went via the City Sightseeing Tour and it was well worth the time and money. Was one of the favorite things we did in the area. Save room in your luggage for beatiful ceramic bowls, dishes, etc.

“Tops in Hotel Service”

Hotel Amalfi offers the basic, simple needs of a typical tourist _ clean, safe place, breakfast provided with a terrace view, center location, walking distance to museum, points of interest and best of all hotel attendant went out of her way to provide assistance in locating our next hotel; very accommodating hotel personnel.

“Lovely little hotel”

I was a little scared to stay here as it was the first hotel I had ever booked without any recommnedations. That said, my experience was wonderful. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast on the terrace was great. The hotel is smack dab in the middle of town so it's close to everything. The restuarant next door, La Perla, was excellent. The only thing lacking was a nice view from the window, but that is a minor quibble.

“Friendly and comfortable hotel, great location”

We really enjoyed our stay in this hotel. The friendly staff gave us useful advice about the local area and the breakfast was great (especially the coffee!).

“Dans le quartier historique d'Amalfi”

Hotel avec des accès justes pour les chambres, ais c'est la configuration du quartier historique qui veut ça. En face de la cathédrale et de la place du duomo. La plage est à 5 min à pied. Chambre très propres. Petit dejeuner copieux. Personnel agréable. Salle de bain spacieuse dans les chambres trio.

“Calm hotel situated in old town centre surrounded of restaurants & shops 10mins from beach & port”

The hotel definitely deserves 3***. It seems it has been renovated not too long time ago. Although directly situated in the old town centre, our hotel room was very calm. Restaurants and shops may be found all around the hotel. The room had a climatisation, a bath with shower, toilet and bidet. The room was not very large, but adequate, clean and in very good shape. Room service and breakfast service personnel was friendly. The choice at the breakfast buffet could have been a bit more comprehensive, but quantity was fine. The town and coast of Amalfi is definitely worth a visit. It is a splendid jewel at the meditarenian coast. For beach tourists, however, it should be indicated the beach is made up of darker sand, which is hot to walk onto and when walking into the sea, it becomes a little stony. So better wear waterproof shoes... The beach is not too big either, thus Amalfi is not an ideal target for a pure beach holiday, but definitely for a beach holiday combined with culture and italian flair!

“Hotel AMALFI à AMALFI au coeur du centre historique”

Avons séjourné 4 nuits dans ce charmant hotel idéalement situé au coeur du centre historique. Hotel familial très bien tenu avec un acceuil irréprochable. Propreté impéccable, chambres spatieuses, seul le jus d'orange du petit déjeuner n'était pas à la hauteur de nos attentes pour un produit local.
