Truly an excellent stay. Staff went above and beyond the entire time. Blew me away with an incredible upgrade, fabulous dining, and the best view in Positano. Historic and full of charming atmosphere, but comfortable for the modern traveler. The bed was a delight, and they will soften or firm it to your liking. Deep soaking tub, large terrace, memorable food. Don’t miss!

The location of the hotel is great. It has a beautiful view of Positano. With 15 minute walk you get to the shops and restaurants. There is only one restaurant near the hotel. The room’s furniture is very old and overall didn’t worth the price and they are very strict about having a guest at the hotel which was very strange as Positano is a place to reunite with your friends. The room service menu is very limited. Housekeeping team was fantastic. They work so hard for guests to enjoy their stay.

Wonderful views from our room which gave a surreal feeling whenever we went on the balcony! Hotel was very clean and all staff were friendly. Restaurant/bar gave good vibes especially during the night, and their food was delicious! Only reason why I didn’t give 5/5 stars is because they charged for tea bags and coffee packets when we ran out of it in our room! Surely a lavish and expensive hotel such as this can provide basic tea and coffee for free. I’m assuming housekeeping would’ve replenished them if I didn’t put up the “do not disturb” sign, which begs the question why I was charged for it then? Apart from that, I highly recommend Hotel Poseidon!

Older Hotel with Great Restaurant and Views
The hotel restaurant and lounge area are great--spectacular views and good food! The hotel itself is clearly one of the older in Positano. It was repeatedly mentioned that despite its appearance the elevator was safe. Our bathroom was cramped with a very small shower--not what I would have expected for a room at this price point. Plugging in a hair dryer blew out a fuse on our first day so had to be careful about what we had plugged in. There was a storm one night and the wind caused a shutter outside to bang for a couple of hours which made it hard to sleep. Staff very helpful in setting up transportation.

Experience exceeded expectations
Was very happy with our stay and accommodations! The hotel feels like you are a guest in an Italian Villa. The staff are attentive, but not overly and not in your face. The rooms and accommodations are classic Italian decor, but updated and clean. The amenities are thought through - complimentary beach bag and towels when needed, flip-flops, quality robes, towels, toiletries. The bar staff is friendly and the food and drinks excellent. The location can't be beat - the pool deck and views! proximity to the touristy shops and beach, but far enough up that you can avoid it all and instead visit the higher quality, excellent restaurants and shops going up the hill from the hotel. It has a direct stair access (long and steep) to the harbor to bypass the crowds. I was very happy with our stay and would love to return again.

The location is wonderful, which is very important in Positano, as they are close enough to walk to the beaches and restaurants easily. The staff is superb and are very knowledgeable about Positano and the Amalfi coast, and they are well-connected to other businesses in the area, which was so helpful during our stay in terms of booking excursions and reservations (especially during busy season!!). I could not recommend Hotel Poseidon enough!! Make sure you say hi to Tony by the pool, he is fantastic ! And be sure to try their restaurant, which is considered very authentic and delicious, even by local standards.

The property and staff were excellent, no complaints about them at all. Just the hotel was VERY expensive and to be honest, the rooms not very big and very Blah, your basic everyday room. For the amount of money you paid to stay here, you expect something more. For the money, would not recommend.
