What an experience! What a location! What a view from the comfort of your room.
Zeeshan
Very surprised how beautiful and centrally located this hotel is. Breakfast was very tasty with an amazing view. The staff were super polite and helpful. Will definitely return and highly recommend this gem of a hotel!
Hany Alphonse
The hotel is getting run down we stayed there once before a few years back and it was ok but now 3 years later nothing g was working well, bathroom was falling apart just needs some tlc
Jessica
Incredible location compared to many other hotels. Eliminates the steep hills and walking of positano by being so close to the main beach area and restaurants. Amazing view and the room exceeded expectations. Staff was also incredibly helpful.
Tanner
This hotel is very comfortable and has a great view and value. Vincenzo at the front desk always wore a smile, and Susie and I shared many conversations. These two made me feel so welcomed. Is this hotel the peak of luxury in Positano? No but it was clean, affordable, welcoming, beautiful view, great location, solid breakfast delivered to your room daily included.
Levi
Gorgeous views, perfect location, proactive and incredibly caring staff.
Alyssa
Excellent location, service, and staff! We booked the junior suite sea view and the view was amazing. We stayed here for our honeymoon and my husband and I couldn't be any happier!
Eric
Breakfast was awesome and our beach view was amazing!!!
One thing I’d really like to highlight for management is my deep respect and gratitude for the staff—especially Assunta. She truly went above and beyond. On the day we checked out, while we were already on the ferry to Naples, I realized I had left my camera tripod at reception. I called to confirm it was there and initially planned to return the next day to collect it, even though it meant losing valuable time that we had set aside to visit Capri.
To our surprise, Assunta offered an extraordinary solution. She kindly arranged to meet us in Sorrento before her afternoon shift so I could retrieve the tripod without disrupting our plans. We met her at the Sorrento train station, and thanks to her generosity and initiative, we were able to get it back with no inconvenience.
We are incredibly grateful for what she did and will never forget her thoughtful and selfless gesture.

Fantastic location, unbelievable view. The rooms are a little dated but is part of the charm! Staff were lovely!
Luis
This hotel was amazing. The room was so nice. The view was spectacular. The staff was awesome...helpful and very friendly. The location was great because it was far enough away from the \"busy\" part of Positano but close enough to walk to the main shopping areas. We loved our stay in L'Ancora and will definitely recommend to our friends and family should they travel to Positano.
Elsa
Wonderful experience. Clean room, great staff, excellent breakfast and great sea view.
Richard
Beautiful views. Great staff.
Amnider
Great location. Views.
SANJEEV
Superior room was traditionally furnished, large and comfortable. It had an additional sitting & dining area with bi-folds glass doors that opened on to the balcony. The bathroom was spacious but we couldn’t get the jacuzzi bath to work.
Breakfast was room service only (restaurant was closed), more than adequate in amount and quality for us, and provided for free.
All staff were polite and efficient.
The entrance doesn’t have a wow factor, it’s little more than a reception desk but we weren’t too concerned about that given that the hotel 2 properties away was almost 3 times the price :-)
Location was excellent for us, between the buzzy part of town and transport links.

Location was excellent for us, between the buzzy part of town and transport links.

No bar and the adjacent restaurants owned by the hotel owner were closed and they were Advertised on line as open

Beautiful Hotel in the Heart of Positano
We loved our stay at Hotel L’Ancora for our honeymoon! The location is perfect as it is near many good resturants and shops. It is also just a 10 min walk to the beach! Our room was ready early, which was great because we were both sweaty after carrying our bags up (they offer a service to transport bags for £15/bag which we invested in when we left lol). Personally, I felt the bag service should be included with the room with how much we spent on our stay. The breakfast that was included was so yummy and the views were unbeatable! The staff was also very kind and helpful.

This hotel was amazing and the staff were so lovely and attentive. The only thing that could be improved is that the bed was really firm (no mattress topper) but other than that the room was perfect. The location is where you want to be, right in the middle with everything you need around it. Would definitely recommend!

Our stay at hotel L’ancora was absolutely wonderful. Positano has been my favorite town in Italy, I did not want to leave. This hotel made us feel at home with its amazing central location, great staff, and included breakfast was a big plus!! We even used the transfer service at the end of our trip to Naples train station and our driver was punctual and made sure to get us to the station safe and on time. I truly loved our stay and can’t wait to go back.

Great hotel

Excellent property, the restaurant alone is a destination place, and having the hotel located in the middle of the shopping area is positioned perfectly, built on the side of the mountain along the Almafi Coast.
Rooms are beautiful and the view is beyond compare .

We just returned from our trip to Ancora and it an absolute pleasure. The perfect location to shops, restaurants and the beach and ferries. Would highly recommend!

In overall it was good but could’ve been better if they have storage for lugages and the mattress I wish it was better very uncomfortable . The location of the property close to the main square and the shopping area by walking .

Amazing locations, the rooms ans suites are surprisingly large, the views are insaine, and the staff is super friendly and eager to assist with anything you may need, restaurant reservation, taxi booking, and so much more.. great breakfast at the hotel !! Will definitely stay there again.

Loved the staff, location, the view is incredible and truly best in town! One negative is our room did not have a shower, only a jacuzzi tub.

The staff for our entire trip to Italy was excellent. Our front desk clerk, Lolanda, was one of the best. FYI: This property is only open ~6 months a year, closed from sometime in November to sometime in April -- that's when they have down time to do upgrades and repairs -- as are many of the hotel properties in Positano. As we've been before, this was our first trip to rent a vehicle and drive into this small, tight, seaport \"village,\" which is a total tourist trap due to so many people, scooters and motorcycles! Yikes. No parking at hotels. Only public lots -- so be prepared to valet for any amount of Euros necessary to leave a vehicle overnight! One last note for travelers driving: the paved road to get in and out is a narrow one-way loop (from West-to-East) that doubles as a pedestrian right-of-way. Of course this Hotel L'Ancora is only about 50 meters from the top of the hill up -- meaning that you have to drive the entire way to pull over and check in. No worries, though, the valets are excellent and worth the added expense. The views are especially great from their Restaurant, and they treat Hotel diners with the utmost respect and promptness!

We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be coming back soon! The view from our room was amazing, and we enjoyed being in the center of the town. The walk down to the beach was right next to our hotel, which was very convenient. There are several lunch and dinner options next to the hotel, and the hotel restaurant is a great choice as well. The service was spectacular. My fiancé and I stayed for 5 days, and the staff was extremely helpful to help plan the proposal and other activities throughout our trip.

This hotel has THE BEST VIEWS of Positano and staff treat you like royalty here! The jacuzzi in the room with views were spectacular. More options for free breakfast would’ve been nice. VERY HELPFUL how they coordinate porter service for getting luggage to/from the ferry port as Positano steps/hikes daily to/from beaches, shopping & restaurants is insane!
Piero
Great location and hotel. There is an extra 50€ charge for cribs.
Joanne
Can not say enough about this hotel! Hands down one of the nicest hotels we've stayed. The staff goes above and beyond, every single one! They gave us suggestions on places to go and places to eat/drink. The views are beyond incredible. The restaurant has a wonderful breakfast spread every morning and dinner was fantastic. They also arranged transportation for us to go to a restaurant off the beaten path called Donna Rosa, which was an authentic and amazing experience. Would like to specifically mention one of the staff, Simon, who, after calling around for us, went by the Bus Depot in another town to pick up my husband's backpack which we left on the bus drive to Positano. Would have been a very costly loss for us as his car keys were in there!!

The hotel sits in the side of the mountains and has breathtaking views of Positano and the sea. The staff were very kind and helpful and looked after us during our stay. It is extremely hilly there and my daughter gets car sick with the hairpin turns, so the hotel arranged for a private car to and from the train. We had the best octopus dishes of our lives from the restaurant. Each morning, we enjoyed breakfast on the terrace and my little granddaughter loved her fresh orange juice and croissants and fruit. We will be returning to L’Ancora again.

Get a room with the ocean view! Amazing. If you’re taking the bus get off 2nd stop other wise it’s a big mistake 😳 It’s about a 10 mins walk to the beach 3 stair cases. Not bad. Great place to stay and rooms are really nice. It’s a by Franco’s a cool cocktail bar. The rooms are quiet. I’d come back.

Positano when it rains

Great views, great room, wonderful time
A beautiful hotel in a wonderful location with great views of Positano from both the hotel room and the restaurant. The room had a lovely balcony were we lounged in the sun and the bathroom had a jacuzzi tub that was equally relaxing.
Since the hotel is built on the hillside, the room access was not amenable to anybody in a wheelchair. There might be other rooms that are but when the elevator let us out we still had to go down a short flight of stairs and the up another to get to the room.
The bellboy took care of all the luggage so that wasn;t an issue and the hotel has arrangements with a parking garage so all we had to do was pull up to the hotel and they took care of the rest (at a cost of 50 Euro/night).
The food in the restaurant was good but there were other places nearby that had great food. OVerall, it was a very good stay with a wonderful staff.

very nice hotel with very nice sea views
The view is absolutely stunning and the entire room is so clean. However we realised the receptionist has not provided us with the right info on the ship departure time. She told us there were only 3 ships to Sorrento but actually there are more than 10 ships daily. We have then made a wrong decision as to how to head back to Naples when it came to checking out
Verified traveler
The view from our Superior room was spectacular!! A postcard-worthy view of Positano. Beautiful terrace. Perfect location in town. Great amenities, decor and service. We really appreciated the assistance with our luggage. Breakfast buffet in the morning was also lovely. Don’t bother with the restaurant in the evening for dinner though. Food was the worst we had in Italy, service was poor (waiter never brought our drinks and never came back), also there was a cover charge that was not disclosed- for the exact same view we had in our room. Could have just stayed there for free. I would definitely come back to the hotel.

This property exceeded our expectations and has an excellent location, 5 minute walk to everything. This having been our first visit to Positano, we got so lucky with this hotel; I wouldn’t stay anywhere else if we come back. The staff was very welcoming from the front desk to the restaurant. The included breakfast was a perfect way to start our day. The room was very large with unexpected amenities like a robe and slippers. We stayed in a classic room with patio (no view) but were pleasantly surprised with a sun room that had a private jacuzzi and bifold doors that opened up to the beautiful Positano hillside. We absolutely live this place!

So many better options -don’t waste on a nightmare
This was the worst part of our honeymoon. Start to finish, awful. We spent much more than we normally would to book this hotel for our honeymoon because it also overlapped with my husbands birthday. I cannot say how much of a mistake it was to book here. We thought we booked a patio, but upon arrival the hotel blamed “Expedia” (we booked booking.com) for misrepresenting the most expensive room I have ever booked. They said our balcony was just a door opening into a wall, then charged us 150 euros per night for a real balcony. The real balcony was uninhabitable due to the diesel smell, which they said was not their fault as it was a usual occurrence from the hotel below. The “view” from the balcony which was expensive and our biggest regret in spending the “upsell” (which when we tried to reverse we couldn’t) was only of the other hotel roof. Truly a criminal waste of money. Not only that, we were given two rooms WITHOUT A SHOWER. I am all for being flexible, but I felt horrified having to do my honeymoon with the cleanliness of odd baths. The side of the tub fell on my leg! I wish we could get these three days back even more than I wish we could get the money back, which is a tremendous amount for us. I apologized so much to my husband for having chosen this place. Also EVERYTHING was an extra charge. Pool at 6PM? €60. Not stated online. Extra. Ice? Extra. Barbara and Giovanni were a joke among the guests for their notorious unhelpful suggestions and misleading statements

Trip through Amalfi Coast
The location and view are incredible, after that L Ancora, falls apart, the bed is a poor excuse, the mattress was old, there was only one pillow for each person. The heat and air were subjective, not sure if there was any. We needed to iron some clothing and found that the only way to do this was give them to the front desk and pay 5E each. The breakfast was poor and outdoors, the temp was in the low 50's so everything was cold including us. We had dinner at the restaurant in the hotel and could not recommend that either, my wives chicken was not thoroughly cook and when we let them know they did not remove it from the check. Would pay a little more and stay somewhere else. Also seem when booking through Hotels. Com you are givien the worst room in a property. We notices this throughout our trip and wonder if using Hotels.Com is worthwhile?

Great location, excellent staff (probably the best I have ever had to deal with) and pretty nice rooms as well for the area. I feel a lot of hotels in the Positano area were a bit dated. Ancora had slightly dated rooms but they were also charming. Overall, I am a bit picky but I was extremely happy with this hotel.

Nice hotel , nice room, spacious balcony, close to everything, the only thing I would suggest that I would put a shade or curtain in bathroom window, there's no privacy there's only an awning outside window that shades halfway

A great hotel nestled up in an elevated position within Positano. High enough to be slightly removed from the throngs of the beach/ restaurants yet still feel the ambience. Great room, terrace bar and restaurant on offer - definitely recommend to friends and family!

Best view of positano
We stayed in a room with huge balcony. The view was stunning. The balcony was beautiful with potted flowers and can comfortably accommodate 20 people. We travelled with four other people. Everyday we enjoyed lounging on the balcony eating, drinking, chatting, or just doing nothing except enjoying the view. It made our stay so much more fun. I strongly recommend booking this hotel and a room with balcony.

This is why you come to Positano
Hotel L'Ancora was a great choice for us. We wanted to splurge on a hotel to ensure that we would get the postcard view that Positano is known for and for that they did not disappoint. The room we had had a great terrace overlooking the view and beach you could hear the waves, a large bathroom with a jacuzzi soaking tub (no stand up shower) and a very comfortable bed (two full size beds pushed together). The only reason I would say I didn't enjoy this hotel was because of an interaction we had with concierge. We called down to ask for a taxi to take us to a nearby town and were given an outrageous. I assumed that was for a private driver so I asked again for a local taxi, nothing extravagant and he said that that's all they can get. So besides the need to upsell, and the lack of a stand up shower in our room, this hotel is great. Breakfast which is included was great. They have a new outside patio overlooking that awesome view. They also have an \"American\" breakfast (eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes) with the usual pastries and espresso. It was also centrally located, close enough to the beach, plenty of shops, restaurants and drink options. No swimming pool (you can go to the sister hotel) but the beach is a 5 min walk away. There were also lots of tiny flies everywhere--not sure if that's an issue for the hotel or just because we left a window open!
