linda, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

LOVED our time at this hotel so much we stayed an extra day. The rooms have so much character and the most beautiful ocean views. The location is perfect, within a couple of minutes walk to the ferry and excursions or shopping. At night the lounge upstairs was a bit loud, and the swimming area attendant wasn’t the friendliest or most attentive but we still had a blast there as a family of 5 (2 rooms).

GEORGES, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A Thoroughly Delightful Stay!

Hotel La Bussola was lovely! All the staff - from reception to restaurant to room cleaners and laundry services - were friendly, accommodating, and very helpful. They scheduled ground transportation, offered ideas and recommendations, and made the most delicious meals! Our room was immaculate, as were all the other areas of the hotel. The hotel is conveniently located on the main road along the Amalfi waterfront, within walking distance of the ferry port and bus/shuttle center, and only steps away from beaches, dining, shopping, ATMs, and tourist sites.

Nice hotel in great location but they have unusual and inconvenient system for serving food for the breakfast! Guests can’t help themselves for the open buffet there was one staff to serve you and all the guests have to wait till she finishes before serving the second guest and if you forget soy or need to top up you have to take queue again, how silly was that!!
