Hotel Conca d'Oro

The views from the Terrace and upper floors, along with the food and restaurant staff were excellent. Obviously most places on the Amalfi coast are on a steep hill to get such wonderful views and a few steps we were expecting but not 224 (no lift) so if you’re a bit older and have difficulty with a lot of steps you’d be best advised to think carefully. I don’t know what we’d have done without the exceptionally strong porter who carried our bags for us. Our room was nice enough in itself and the cleanliness was excellent however we did have an initial problem with getting hot water which was sorted quickly but it became clear that the shower sealant was inadequate and water streamed out all over the bathroom floor making it slippery and in need of a large amount of mopping up every time you took a shower. (The hot water seemed to be operated via the shower head not the normal controls so every day is a school day!) The hotel staff said sorry but clearly weren’t surprised. We were on the lower or lowest floor with just a window, the beautiful view being obscured by a large gas or oil cylinder on the roof of a property below. We were a tad disappointed and underwhelmed. Would have given 5 stars for the terrace, views, food and restaurant staff but only 3 for the rest of our experience.

Absolutely recommend this location for the views, the cleanliness but most of all the service. We joined our friends for their stay while they celebrated their wedding and we had the absolute best time during breakfast and dinner because of how splendid the servers were, specially Salvatore. The first day I was there I enjoyed the breakfast and Salvatore promptly sat us, set up the umbrella, brought our cappuccinos and even cut me a slice of their apple pie. A few days later he welcomed us by name for dinner. Salvatore thank you so much for being such a kind human! He even gave me some pointers on how to get from Positano to Rome. It’s humans like him that make me believe in humanity. Gracias Conca D oro and Gracie Mille Salvatore!

One of the harder reviews I have written as I wanted to be sure when I review a hotel that I get a good idea of what the standards are for the location. For example Positano is built on the side of a mountain and far from most modern conveniences. That being said I would never stay here again. While I can appreciate that this hotel might once have been perfect it is in a slow state of needing updates and things to be refreshed. I paid for an upgraded room w a jacuzzi on the balcony. Not worth it. The jacuzzi kept draining the water. It was also clear the temp settings needed to be fixed as it just would get warm. I mentioned this to the hotel along with the hot water in our shower that came and went. No real concern to fix these things. The food was basic. But nothing exceptional. There balcony really could also be more private. I’ve stayed in better private suites in the jungles of Costa Rica and had much hotter water and more privacy even with rooms situated right next to each other. Overall this is mid level hotel that is simply overpriced. But the next level in Positano is going to cost about 30% more. If you can afford it. Try something in the 1700/night range. I think we paid 1100 ish. Had I paid 600 ish I would have been able to accept it. Do note the staff was friendly and helpful. I think the major issues of this hotel are beyond their control. And with, as others have said, such a solid and Long walk to get to the hotel it’s just not worth it overall.

lovely decor, very clean and beautiful views, excellent service at check-in and from all employees. Hotel arranged car transfer service and cooking class for us that were both excellent. Be prepared for stairs but they do have porters to help with luggage thankfully.

Hotel Conca d’oro is a beautiful hotel with breathtaking views. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. We were lucky enough to be given a room upgrade upon arrival. We were given a deluxe room. The room was extremely clean, and our beds were always made, and new towels and toiletries were put out for us upon return to our room. There are lots of steps to climb (105) to get to the hotel, which can be difficult, especially on a really hot day.

We had a great time at this hotel. The staff were really helpful and polite. The room was really lovely. We were upgraded for free on arrival. The breakfast was always good. The views from our room and the restaurant were amazing! I would definitely stay here again. There are a lot of steps, and taxis can only stop at the bottom. So be aware that it may not be suitable for people who struggle walking.

Wonderful and beautiful hotelIt’s a 4 star hotel but the service is 5. Be weary, the only way in is up a flight of stairs, but the stay afterwards is totally worth it. They have a gratuity based service to bring your bags up from the entrance which we definitely needed. Even in our lowest priced suite with no balcony, we still had a wonderful view of the sea and a door to view the outside. The free breakfast with restaurant view is also a huge plus. I do wish the hot tub could be heated and stay open late night. I would likely stay here again if I came back.

There's one thing you'll have to accept coming to Positano is cost! Once you wrap your head around that you'll love everything Positano and Conca D'Oro have to offer. From the faultless breakfasts, views, service, rooms and air-conditioning - the hotel has history, but they are maintaining the charm and functionality in perfect balance. Our room had a balcony and jacuzzi, which was lovely for an afternoon aperitivo and dip, and there is nothing like waking up and seeing all of Positano from your doors! The rooms are standard in size, with some having larger bathrooms than others. The staff were focused, but polite. The bellboys running the suitcases up from the street deserve their tips! No way we were dragging bags up those stairs, as the hotel is right at the top of the hill! All in all a great hotel to base yourself when exploring the Amalfi Coast!

We reserved this hotel expecting something extraordinary, but I think is overrated in general. This hotel and most of the hotels in Positano. It has a nice view and is clean with exception of the toilet water that doesn’t smell good. It has Standard food at the restaurant with an standard waiter service. Nothing extraordinary except for the location because Amalfi Coast and Positano have beautiful view all of them from the top of the hill. Is an alternative because its location is at the entrance of Positano ( medium quantity of step if compared with others hotels), but is always space to look for other alternatives that include another amenities for the price.
