The hillside setting involves many steps and uphill walks, and some found access from the beach or port challenging. A few guests reported patchy Wi-Fi and noted the simple facilities beyond a pleasant bar and common area; occasional bathroom quirks or room comfort niggles were mentioned. Expect a clean, view-forward stay with warm service and a classic Positano climb.

This hotel is like B&B and truly a hotel. Bathroom showers does not have door and after the shower the entire bathroom gets water all over the place. This is the only hotel I ever stayed does not give tissue paper. The hotel is not at a convenient place from the beach . The real problem we had at the front desk people were not very helpful. It is over priced and I will not stay there again.

The family owned hotel people were the best. Always with a happy greeting, glad to help with anything. Restaurant reservations, personal drivers, taxi’s and recommendations for places to visit. Loved our room, view, breakfast prompt in the morning, bar in hotel. We are really looking forward to returning to our hotel soon.

This is a magical little property run by the Guida family. Everything is perfect, from the rooms to the views, breakfasts, the common area/bar overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Pure solace.

Hotel com vista incrível e café da manhã delicioso entregue no quarto. Porém, difícil acesso ao hotel, pouca informação de como chegar, afastado do centrinho e dos principais restaurantes e lojinhas. Hotel sem nenhuma estrutura além do quarto que é bem simples. Não acredito que valha o custo benefício. Valor muito alto somente pela vista.

A perfect 10. This hotel was just perfect for us. Not only was the view exquisite but the patio balcony was very roomy and the perfect place for the delicious breakfast delivered to our room daily. They had a full bar, beer/wine/sodas for purchase in your room or the common area that also had an incredible view. Every staff member was so courteous and helpful … arranged a taxi for our transport to Ravello, made sure we had all that we needed when the rain kept us in our room one night. The covered balcony made the rainy night cozy. Bedding, towels all in great condition and they had sufficient bed pillows.. 2 per person which I like. Bedding was all so fresh smelling…even bedspread was freshly laundered. Our room and the entire hotel was exceptionally clean and well cared for. Don’t listen to Google Maps though! Take the road up to hotel and use the luggage porter service if arriving via ferry. We took the stairs per Google and it was over 500 stairs… 😬 …. With luggage and the heat, it was way too much. The walk to town and back up to the hotel was very manageable for us via the road. If we ever get back to Positano, this hotel would be our choice.

The good: The hotel is VERY clean. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the rooms and the common areas. We also liked the location and the balcony in our room. The walk up to the hotel from the port/beach is very daunting especially with luggage, but that’s an issue in Positano as a whole. The A/C worked well in the room, which was a huge plus for us during an extremely hot time of year The not so good: The walls are incredibly thin. We could hear everything in the rooms next door and in the hallways. We were stuck next to some noisy families so it was pretty loud throughout our stay. We were also pretty disappointed by the lack of working wifi. Not sure if the wifi was only working in certain areas, but it didn’t work AT ALL for us during our stay. We were also disappointed by the up-charge for cooked eggs for breakfast. Having to give our key to the front desk every day before leaving the hotel was kind of weird as well. And it would have been nice to have some help from the front desk to help arrange a porter service for our bags.

This is a beautiful hotel! The location is wonderful, took us 10 minutes to take the stairs to the beach/town center or the bus picks up right outside, the drivers will tell you where to get off and it’s an affordable option. The rooms are beautiful, we got one with a spa on the patio and couldn’t have enjoyed it more! We can’t wait to come back.

Wonderful hotel setting with views to the west from every balcony. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff, and a delicious breakfast pre ordered the night before and served on the balcony. Location is ideal for walking both up and down in the town ( lots of steps are inevitable wherever you stay ). Wifi is too patchy to stream but worked fine for emails. Very happy with the choice.

All was great , hotel is in a nice location that we liked a lot , I put 4 star for Staff , just because the lady at the reception was a little too serious and argumentative, although she was helpful and at the end didn’t charge us for water , but we were afraid of asking her for anything!! The younger lady was super nice and friendly, in general we are happy and pleased.

Location
Generally convenient for reaching town and the beach, but expect many steps and uphill walks typical of Positano. Some guests found the climb from the port or distance to the center challenging.

The hotel was very beautiful with a view of the Sea. Balcony was a great addition to sit down in the morning and have breakfast. In the evening after dinner the calm night was spectacular. The local bus was great to use to get around. Stairs are located nearby of you want a 15 minute cardio fix.

Hotel com vista incrível e café da manhã delicioso entregue no quarto. Porém, difícil acesso ao hotel, pouca informação de como chegar, afastado do centrinho e dos principais restaurantes e lojinhas. Hotel sem nenhuma estrutura além do quarto que é bem simples. Não acredito que valha o custo benefício. Valor muito alto somente pela vista.

Lovely hotel with excellent staff. Beautiful views. Hotel offers breakfast either in dining area or your room. Wonderful menu to choose from. This town is a challenge for anyone with mobility issues, so spring for a taxi. That said, it is one of our favorite places to visit in Italy.

This is a beautiful hotel! The location is wonderful, took us 10 minutes to take the stairs to the beach/town center or the bus picks up right outside, the drivers will tell you where to get off and it’s an affordable option. The rooms are beautiful, we got one with a spa on the patio and couldn’t have enjoyed it more! We can’t wait to come back.

Great hotel to stay at coming from the US. You’re about 500 steps from the beach which seems like a lot but it’s not more than any other hotel. Beautiful view and friendly staff. I’ll stay here again next time we visit

Dining
Breakfast earns strong praise for quality, choice, and punctual in-room delivery, with an option to eat in the dining area. A small number mentioned a surcharge for cooked eggs.

The family owned hotel people were the best. Always with a happy greeting, glad to help with anything. Restaurant reservations, personal drivers, taxi’s and recommendations for places to visit. Loved our room, view, breakfast prompt in the morning, bar in hotel. We are really looking forward to returning to our hotel soon.

The good: The hotel is VERY clean. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the rooms and the common areas. We also liked the location and the balcony in our room. The walk up to the hotel from the port/beach is very daunting especially with luggage, but that’s an issue in Positano as a whole. The A/C worked well in the room, which was a huge plus for us during an extremely hot time of year The not so good: The walls are incredibly thin. We could hear everything in the rooms next door and in the hallways. We were stuck next to some noisy families so it was pretty loud throughout our stay. We were also pretty disappointed by the lack of working wifi. Not sure if the wifi was only working in certain areas, but it didn’t work AT ALL for us during our stay. We were also disappointed by the up-charge for cooked eggs for breakfast. Having to give our key to the front desk every day before leaving the hotel was kind of weird as well. And it would have been nice to have some help from the front desk to help arrange a porter service for our bags.

The view from our balcony was breathtaking. The free breakfast and cappuccino in the morning was very much appreciated. More options than most places in Italy. When reserving I received an email and message asking whether we wanted the hotel to arrange for a driver to pick us up from the Napoli Central train station. We accepted and the driver was on time, helpful and efficient. The price of our room was surprisingly low for the value we received. 5 stars for Hotel Il Gabbiano. We hope to come back.

Wonderful hotel setting with views to the west from every balcony. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff, and a delicious breakfast pre ordered the night before and served on the balcony. Location is ideal for walking both up and down in the town ( lots of steps are inevitable wherever you stay ). Wifi is too patchy to stream but worked fine for emails. Very happy with the choice.
