Hotel La Bussola

We did not stay at the hotel but it seemed 1st rate! We did eat there, and arriving 1/2 hour before they opened for dinner, we politely explained "in our best Italian" that we had traveled a long way and really wanted to eat at their highly rated restaurant. The hotel manager asked the chef if he could accommodate us, and we got the best table in the dining room with a seafront view! The finished plate shows it all! Exceptional service, food, and location! Highly recommend!

The hotel is very nice and we stayed 5 nights in a Prestige Room (which can only be booked from the hotel's website) on the 3rd floor. Pros: Our room was sea front and the views were spectacular. We used to stay in balcony for at least half an hour everyday and enjoy the view of Amalfi. Rooms are clean and being refreshed everyday. We had bottles of water everyday. Staff are very friendly and helpful. They provided us all the necessary info to book tours, bus and ferries. Location is super convenient. It is only few minutes walk to Amalfi Ferry Port and main square. This will help to catch the ferries and busses conveniently. The hotel has onsite parking which is a big plus in this busy area. Finding parking is very difficult in the area. Breakfast is included. Although the variety of meals is limited, this is still a plus to have your breakfast early in the morning and head out. Staff in the breakfast area could be a bit nicer :). Cons: The biggest cons during our stay was noise from the bar on the 4th floor. This problem may only be limited for the 3rd floor rooms but the bar is located right above the 3rd floor rooms and they continuously (maybe every 5 minutes) move chairs and tables everynight till 11.30pm. It was very difficult for us to sleep until the bar closes. We even called front desk once but the staff were not able to help. Seems that the bar is being operated by a different party. If you are a light or early sleeper, 3rd floor rooms could be tricky. Generally we had a good time there and I would like to thank the hotel staff for all their attention during our stay. We enjoyed visiting Amalfi Coast.

An amazing location, very nice staff, delicious breakfast, clean rooms. The only negative is if you’re looking for a cold room with air conditioning, this isn’t the spot for you. It’s an eco friendly resort so they keep it on the warmer side. Other than the AC it’s a great place.
