"Terrible hike up many steps with luggage, expensive elevator fees which are basically required. Cleaning fee in cash only and not listed in the total All in all I would have preferred to pay more at a drive up hotel after factoring all the side fees needed each time to get to/fr this property. Living room needs more seating Sea facing bedroom missing a blind/shade so had to hang a towel Sea view is terrific and should be for how high we climbed"

"This is not a 5* property. Very nice grounds and exterior but rooms are small and lack basic amenities. It is starting to look tired inside and needs some investment. We spent most of our time at the Belmond and Avino hotels as a result. Overall very disappointing stay. Lack of Privacy is also an issue with visitors to the adjoining gardens."

Top Upper Positano Hotel Reviews

Eurostars Hotel Excelsior

Eurostars Hotel Excelsior

10/10 Excellent
"The location of the Excelsior is superb, overlooking the Bay of Naples. If you have the port side rooms you wake up to Vesuvius across the Bay and can watch its many moods throughout the day. On the roof top terrace you can watch the lights turn on in the city and see Vesuvius become a presence that is hard to ignore. The bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in, and we needed it after 12 days of negotiating the cobblestone streets of the Amalfi Coast, averaging 6 miles a day, and we're senior citizens! This hotel holds a special place in my heart. The breakfast alone is worth staying here! The staff was super nice. The hotel is a piece of old Italian luxury and has to be experienced."
