What guests think

Across reviews of Hotel Royal Positano, guests praise the hilltop views and large pool, while frequently noting many stairs or reliance on the local bus, dated interiors, and mixed upkeep that can range from clean and comfortable to disappointingly grubby.

Most find staff friendly and helpful, though reports of unresponsive or combative front desks appear, and the sprawling, maze-like layout with multiple elevators and stairs can make reaching rooms and facilities cumbersome. Breakfast and on-site dining get mixed feedback: many enjoy the variety and terrace views, while others cite lukewarm or unreplenished items and occasional high prices. Overall, expect scenic value above town with trade-offs in age, access, and consistency.

Facilities

The large hillside pool is a highlight for many and generally well kept, though some note early or seasonal closures and strict rules. Facilities feel dated overall, with an on-site bar and restaurant available.

Biggest pool we ever saw; well handled. -too many rules at the pool (only one entry/exit) can't sit on the edge, no food at our chairs, inconsistent music at the pool. It could stay open longer too. Loved the singer on the terrace and 24 hr staff. Breakfast was terrific! So many options.

Our stay was great! Staff was helpful and friendly. The breakfast every morning was nice. The pool was clean and huge. The hotel is outdated and could use some renovations. Location of the hotel is near the top so maybe a 15 minute walk down to the beach and 10 minutes down to shopping and restaurants. Luggage porters are available for $10 per bag.

Pluses: the pool is a 10/10. Deep, large and well kept. The views are phenomenal and the outdoor patios and balconies really take full advantage of the views. The lunch bar is great. The staff was friendly and helpful. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful throughout. Minuses: the interior needs a LOT of updating. It appears the last facility upgrade was in the mid 90s and while it is actively maintained the wear is obvious. Definitely needs new showers and new furnishings. Room amenities are few and feel more like 2 star than 4 star. The breakfast is mediocre compared to most hotels in this price point. The hotel is at the top end of upper Positano and it's a substantial walk to get to shopping and most of the restaurants. Probably 20 minutes down to the beach and 30 minutes back for anyone with moderate to good cardio. The walk is not for older folks or young kids. That said, we stayed with our four teenage kids and they loved the pool and enjoyed the Hotel Royal. If you are staying in Positano on a family budget, its a good choice to stay, just be aware of the trade offs. Note the nearby restaurant of Ristorante C'Era Una Volta is an absolute gem and is the best bang for the buck food, service and views in Positano.

Although could do with updating, this charming hotel had clean and comfortable rooms with a good buffet breakfast. Be prepared for all the steps down to the centre (and up) although there is a bus that stops right outside the hotel. It did however have a great swimming pool with towels provided with a bar that provided drinks and snacks, which was a rest bite from the bustle of a very crowded beach and sea front. And of course the view from the pool and indeed our room was magnificent.

Really enjoyed our stay. I came with very low expectations due to bad review on hotel.com. I was very impressed with my stay as the service was excellent and family room was huge compare to other hotels. The pool was really nice. We had it to ourselves as not many guest stayed there during October. Only downside to the hotel is that it’s far up in the hills of Positano. It’s a 15 minute walk down and you can take the local bus up for €1.30. So overall very good experience. I don’t recommend driving to the hotel as parking is expensive.

Located in a beautiful spot on the mountain with great views of the mountain and sea. Swimming pool great, lovely tennis court and evening entertainment was a bonus-Gino was fab with his one man band and performance. What wasn’t so great ….we had no pre holiday welcome information from the hotel so first day finding the place was hard. We walked it all the way up and it wasn’t easy! It was hot and we felt like we were climbing up and up. We were exhausted. We later found that the local Positano Mobility bus stopped right outside the hotel and took you to the centre and the beach with a regular service. If only someone had told us that! The hotel is located with good connections also to the Sita bus which is cheap to ride and takes you to other coastal towns. It is really convenient and the ride is spectacular and scenic. Wish we had this information before our trip. The Hotel also didn’t provide any coffee or tea in the rooms so be prepared to pay for that at the restaurant or bar. Ladies.. bring your hair dryer. I left my one at home and the one in the hotel was one of those cheap European wall hair dryers! The flexi pipe got quite hot! It was terrible. Reception staff need to be a bit more hospitable. They were friendly but spoke very little. Overall, great location with great connections to the local buses and Sita stop a stone throw away. Room was cleaned every day and pleasant to stay in. Beautiful views.

My wife and daughter arrived, checking in, the hotel is old, needs a serious facelift, the room was dirty, they found countless hairs all over the bed sheets and comforter. The desk was missing a chair to sit at, the rooms were small and were what we feel were properly depicted in the pictures. My wife spoke with the front desk, was shown other rooms and then quickly checked out after staying there for about an hour. The front desk was receptive, tried it wasn't the staffs fault it was just the rooms weren't clean and were very run down.

The staff were amazing and this hotel had a stunning view at the top of the mountain. You must be prepared to hike up insanely high stairways or dangerous narrow road or take the bus. There’s no shuttles and the taxi charges a fortune just to take you down the mountain. This hotel needs an overhaul. They’ve put no money into the property ever! The whole place is infested with aunts on all exterior patios. They make their way inside and we’re crawling on my toothbrush! There was nowhere to put bottles in the shower as the shelves fell off the wall. I’m sure there was black mould growing too. The beds had no mattress covers on them which is disgusting and no fitted bottom sheet. Just a top sheet tucked in. There’s no glasses or anything in the room. Just two paper cups. No kettle, no nothing. It’s a stair maze getting around and the elevators don’t go to all floors so you’re hauling your bags up and down the stairs. The one little elevator was out of order and again, didn’t reach all floors. Be prepared for an insane workout just to get in and out if the building. This property has potential, just needs work and to have proper bedding. Everything looked grungy and not cleaned. Towels were stained and not crisp. They should be bleaching. The breakfast included was decent and the staff made great cappuccino and were so kind. So all in all, great staff but cannot recommend to anyone unless you like grungy and dark.

Staff was nice and helpful and the view was incredible. Room was very sparse and dated. Furniture was very worn. Not what I would expect for the high price. To get to your room was like a maze that we never quite figured out. Breakfast was plentiful but tasted premade or packaged, not fresh. Very inconvenient if you want to go into town, better be good with stairs or have the patience to wait on the bus. Not worth the price.

The hotel rooms are run down and do not reflect the pictures. The kids’ beds were not good and I paid for a sea view but from the window in the room was not that at all. The staff was generally dismissive. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Property not as advertised. Non functioning pool, and there is no piano bar; it is an electric keyboard in the cafeteria. Excessive noise at night from the restaurant, and in the morning from cleaning staff. Phone in the room also did not work. The reception staff was combative when filing complaints. We left a night early. When asking for a discount due to the poor conditions, we were told by staff that no accommodations could be made and to speak with Expedia. I filed a complaint with Expedia and they also were “unable” to address our concerns. Do not recommend.

You can’t get coffee until 7:30 which was kind of a pain because we had a early flight. We needed help with our bags and no one could help at check out. in addition, our room had half used bottle in the refrigerator and laying around. They are not very accommodating to the guests. Not to mention how to find everything it’s super confusing and the pool is not kept very clean. I would spend another $500 and stay somewhere else

Our stay at the Hotel Royal Positano was truly unforgettable. The location is incredible, high in the mountains with breathtaking views of Positano. The staff was amazing, especially the manager who went above and beyond to help my fiancé plan the most special proposal. They made the moment so magical that this hotel will always hold a very special place in our hearts. Another big plus was the pool and food service, we were able to enjoy relaxing days at the hotel without needing to leave and walk 20k steps 😅. During our stay, they also helped us in a time of need when our airport shuttle didn’t show up, immediately arranging transportation so we wouldn’t miss our flight. Their kindness, dedication, and hospitality are unmatched. We can’t wait to come back!

Uteslutande yngre killar som jobbade här och även om de säkert ville hjälpa till så glömde de bort kunden hela tiden. Slitet hotell men ok frukost och bra AC. Det går att gå ner och upp till stan men tillbakavägen är inte rolig med ca 400 trappsteg i 95% fuktighet och 30 graders värme. Ta taxi tillbaka. Poolen var ok men sista dagen var den helt grön och ingen kunde bada där...

The bathroom were a little outdated and not the cleanest in general, nothing found however felt like it could've used a good scrub down given the price/level of the hotel. Staff was great and helpful when required. Breakfast was good when the food was there… i found that every day I had to ask or be waiting for more food to be put out and often the eggs were cold or I had to ask for more as cold cuts/cheese and eggs +veggies/sausage were empty. Pool said to be closed at1800 however every day we got there at around 1630 pool was already closed off with vacuum in it which was frustrating. Awesome view of Positano as shown in photo, we had an “ocean view” room. I liked the place however expected slightly higher standards given the price paid.

The bus is amazing and a MUST use if you stay here. Breakfast was also very nice and they have a wonderful patio to dine on if the weather is nice- breakfast staff are very attentive and kind.

The hotel it’s really outdated, and ridiculously overpriced. The breakfast was also bad. The only positive ill say is the staff is very friendly and helpful. Also there is a bus stop right in front of the hotel that can take you straight to main plaza.
