Liked: Great staff. Very helpful and warm. Always happy. Room was very clean and had everything I needed. Breakfast was light but had unlimited juice and cappucino.

Disliked: Location is good if you plan to do things around Anacapri. But it is a hike to the bus stop to get to Capri. Other than that nothing.

Liked: Great place to stay for travellers on a budget. Situated in Anacapri, it's a much nicer atmosphere and more tranquil than the crowded streets of Capri. A short walk into Anacapri. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Owned by a brother and sister who are incredibly passionate about the hotel and the developments that they are doing.

Disliked: I think the breakfast was a little on the small side, one coffee and one baguette.

Liked: Very friendly and helpful staff, Rita was absolutely lovely and so were everyone else. Hotel was definitely value for money, very clean and comfortable and very nicely done up. Fresh towels and rooms cleaned every day. It is a family run place so it's very cosy and warm. Nice terrace on the roof top to chill out/sunbathe. Decent breakfast of coffee/tea, croissant and bread - not much variety but enough to fill you up.

Disliked: A bit of a walk to Anacapri town and bus stops. It's about a ten minutes uphill walk to get to restaurants/cafes/banks, but it's not extremely tiring or strenuous.

Liked: The staff were helpful, and were always willing to help. We were supposed to take a boat tour, but the woman running it (forgive me, I forget her name) said we were paying to much and told us we could get cheaper. She totally covered for us when the tour company called several times asking for us, very sweet of her!

Disliked: Location was out of the way, but it was cheaper than the rest and the walk wasn't that bad. The bus also drops you off closer, but we would get off a stop earlier to work off the pizza and gelato ;) Breakfast could have been better. I know Europe likes big buffets for breakfast, but they only had bread, coffee, tea, cappuccino and juice. Not the best if you are hikingthe islands paths all day.

Liked: Very glad we chose to stay at this place. Being one of only two guests during the "off peak" season, we literally had the whole place to ourselves. Best of all was the breathtaking view of the sea and mainland from our balcony. This is an ideal place to relax and get away from it all in a quiet, countryside setting. Yes, you need to walk a bit from the bus stop in Anacapri, but the walk through the rustic village is well worth it. Once orientated, it's actually pretty convenient for Anacapri, Blue Grotto and the bus to Capri. Rita was fantastic and recommended our visit itinerary for us. Highly recommended

Disliked: no complaints, really enjoyed ourselves. The only comment i would make is that the payment was cash only, and I noticed the hotel overview suggested that credit cards were accepted.

Liked: Great place overall! Off the beaten path in Anacapri, which is, in my opinion, much nicer than the town of Capri itself. Staff is very friendly and very helpful with any questions whether it be island escapades or bookings for further travels. Great rooftop patio with views to the west for sunsets. It is a walk from the center of Anacapri through the mazelike streets, but once you get your bearings it is easy enough and there are signs to point you in the right direction. Takes about 7 minutes. Very safe and very quiet. Breakfast is coffee and rolls with a croissant. Stayed for four nights, did three big days of hiking, west coast day one, east coast day two, and Mount Solaro day 3. AMAZING views to be had. Buy takeaway pizza from the place on corner in Piaza Diaz(cheaper then eating in resto) and bring your wine from grocery store back for quiet suppers watching the sunset or under the stars.

Disliked: nothing worth mentioning.

Liked: The staff was extremely friendly and helpful – they always had smiles on their faces. They were very prompt with requests and provided extremely useful information regarding site-seeing and transportation.

Disliked: The location was a bit difficult to get to, but once you found it, it was very easy to get to- pretty close to the main square in Anacapri.

Liked: Fantastic B&B!! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, we were provided with a map, directions to the best restaurants and general tourist information. Lovely, large terrace with sea views and they are in the process of building a pool!Best thing by far was the vending machine dispensing bottles of Peroni for 1.50 Euros!

Liked: Firstly, the place was quite difficult to find as the taxi driver dropped us off with which seemed to be the middle of the backstreets. Thankfully, for the friendly locals, we located the hostel which was a good 10 - 12 mins walk to the main square in Anacapri. Once we got our bearings we were ok. A decent hostel overall.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

Pros 1) Relatively cheep price2) Chance to see real local people's lifeCons1) Hard to reach ( 15 mins bus ride from Grand Marina & 20 mins walk from bus station2) Untidy room condition but it's value for money.

Liked: The hotel is very italian in its character and does have a certain charm. The hotel owner was helpful and the room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast however was dissapointing- just a sugared crossiant and orange juice but it seems the italians are not big on breakfast. My only real complaint is the sur charge of 10 euros per day for air conditioning- a rip off and a bit of a cheek!!!
