We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be coming back soon! The view from our room was amazing, and we enjoyed being in the center of the town. The walk down to the beach was right next to our hotel, which was very convenient. There are several lunch and dinner options next to the hotel, and the hotel restaurant is a great choice as well. The service was spectacular. My fiancé and I stayed for 5 days, and the staff was extremely helpful to help plan the proposal and other activities throughout our trip.

This hotel has THE BEST VIEWS of Positano and staff treat you like royalty here! The jacuzzi in the room with views were spectacular. More options for free breakfast would’ve been nice. VERY HELPFUL how they coordinate porter service for getting luggage to/from the ferry port as Positano steps/hikes daily to/from beaches, shopping & restaurants is insane!

Great location and hotel. There is an extra 50€ charge for cribs.

Can not say enough about this hotel! Hands down one of the nicest hotels we've stayed. The staff goes above and beyond, every single one! They gave us suggestions on places to go and places to eat/drink. The views are beyond incredible. The restaurant has a wonderful breakfast spread every morning and dinner was fantastic. They also arranged transportation for us to go to a restaurant off the beaten path called Donna Rosa, which was an authentic and amazing experience. Would like to specifically mention one of the staff, Simon, who, after calling around for us, went by the Bus Depot in another town to pick up my husband's backpack which we left on the bus drive to Positano. Would have been a very costly loss for us as his car keys were in there!!

Staff was super helpful. Perfect location and easy to find and walk to. Room was quiet at night and the bed was comfy. Minibar was appreciated for water, coke and drinks if needed. Would rent here again. Great value for the location.

The hotel sits in the side of the mountains and has breathtaking views of Positano and the sea. The staff were very kind and helpful and looked after us during our stay. It is extremely hilly there and my daughter gets car sick with the hairpin turns, so the hotel arranged for a private car to and from the train. We had the best octopus dishes of our lives from the restaurant. Each morning, we enjoyed breakfast on the terrace and my little granddaughter loved her fresh orange juice and croissants and fruit. We will be returning to L’Ancora again.

Get a room with the ocean view! Amazing. If you’re taking the bus get off 2nd stop other wise it’s a big mistake 😳 It’s about a 10 mins walk to the beach 3 stair cases. Not bad. Great place to stay and rooms are really nice. It’s a by Franco’s a cool cocktail bar. The rooms are quiet. I’d come back.

We came from our vacation on Capri and spent the night. It poured down rain so hard but we managed to order room service and stay in. It was still a beautiful trip.

A beautiful hotel in a wonderful location with great views of Positano from both the hotel room and the restaurant. The room had a lovely balcony were we lounged in the sun and the bathroom had a jacuzzi tub that was equally relaxing.
Since the hotel is built on the hillside, the room access was not amenable to anybody in a wheelchair. There might be other rooms that are but when the elevator let us out we still had to go down a short flight of stairs and the up another to get to the room.
The bellboy took care of all the luggage so that wasn;t an issue and the hotel has arrangements with a parking garage so all we had to do was pull up to the hotel and they took care of the rest (at a cost of 50 Euro/night).
The food in the restaurant was good but there were other places nearby that had great food. OVerall, it was a very good stay with a wonderful staff.

Beautiful hotel, excellent location in Positano. We certainly paid a steep price but to stay in Positano during the summer on a weekend, that’s what you sign up for.

Terrific location - within walking distance of everything you need plus accessible by car so no need to deal with winding pathways and steps with luggage. Staff helped us arrange transfer and room was a good size with a view.

What a beautiful hotel. My room (an upgrade) was modern (not all rooms updated) and spotless. Private jazuzzi on the solarium and huge room. Free breakfast was great! Great location right on the water. Barbara at the front desk is very helpful. Would highly recommend.

The view is absolutely stunning and the entire room is so clean. However we realised the receptionist has not provided us with the right info on the ship departure time. She told us there were only 3 ships to Sorrento but actually there are more than 10 ships daily. We have then made a wrong decision as to how to head back to Naples when it came to checking out

The view from our Superior room was spectacular!! A postcard-worthy view of Positano. Beautiful terrace. Perfect location in town. Great amenities, decor and service. We really appreciated the assistance with our luggage. Breakfast buffet in the morning was also lovely. Don’t bother with the restaurant in the evening for dinner though. Food was the worst we had in Italy, service was poor (waiter never brought our drinks and never came back), also there was a cover charge that was not disclosed- for the exact same view we had in our room. Could have just stayed there for free. I would definitely come back to the hotel.

This property exceeded our expectations and has an excellent location, 5 minute walk to everything. This having been our first visit to Positano, we got so lucky with this hotel; I wouldn’t stay anywhere else if we come back. The staff was very welcoming from the front desk to the restaurant. The included breakfast was a perfect way to start our day. The room was very large with unexpected amenities like a robe and slippers. We stayed in a classic room with patio (no view) but were pleasantly surprised with a sun room that had a private jacuzzi and bifold doors that opened up to the beautiful Positano hillside. We absolutely live this place!
