This was by far the best hotel we stayed at and the staff was wonderful. We had free breakfast in bed and the price overall was AMAZING. The staff also recommended a great little restaurant for dinner that I would highly recommend. Overall they were friendly and the place itself was perfect!

Everything about our stay was great, except for noise - ask for a room away from the stairs, the walls are thin and you can hear everyone going up and down.

A very special warm thanks to the receptionist who help us so extremely well despite our early arrival. After telling her that we wanted a restaurant recommendation for our 10th anniversary, she uppgraded our room and booked the most romantic restaurant possible. I've never been received more wellcomming. Capri will always have a special place in our hearts!

Staff is competent, but not all of them are friendly and/or helpful. Breakfast,which was quoted as "hot" was not, save for lukewarm boiled eggs. At breakfast, make sure to ask for espresso or cappuccino, else they only have an urn of the worst kind of american coffee at the buffet. Overall, our experience was positive, but next time we may look for another place.

Overall great. Bathroom was nice but the drain in the floor overflowed when you emtied the bath and when I asked for a repair I was told it was normal! Great restaurant 15 minutes walk away called Da Tonino. Ask the hotel where it is - up a few flights of steps but worth it!

Overall good experience. Good location and wonderful, peaceful view despite distance from the main life. Rooms not good serviced - we had to ask several times for missing things - and dirty towels were not exchanged during the day but orederly placed. Noisy from other appartments and also from the cleaning crew in the morning

Our experience in the hotel was generally a good one. The lobby is serene and clear with wide glass windows and fresh orchids in the lobby and the breakfast room. The restaurant only opens for breakfast, but they offer room service at the same price. The room had a beautiful ocean view and the balcony was private. The hotel is located among a string of several hotels in a tiny street and is about a 10 min. walk form the funicular - the common means of transportation from the port to the tourist area. They have internet service in the lobby for a fee. Capri can be best enjoyed by scooter or by boat. We strongly recommend renting either one because it allows you to explore the island. We had a peculiar situation during our stay because there was a general strike in the island and the ports, restaurants and businesses all closed the day we were supposed to leave. While the hotel offered us a room for the night at the same rate, they insisted we confirmed our stay by noon; eventhough the word on the street was that business might resume by 6pm. We felt pressured to make an uninformed decision and felt their attitude was somewhat intransigent since we weren't going anywhere unless the ports authority allowed the service to start again. Their attitude was unexpected since one of the reasons we chose the hotel was we had read reviews of previous guests and they mentioned how accomodating the staff had been in unusual circumstances.

We stayed here on a weekday during the quiet season. The hotel was the best value 3 star hotel we stayed in during our 2 weeks in Sicily, Naples, and the Amalfi coast. The rooms were clean and of a decent size. The staff provided us with the most welcoming and best service we experienced during our travels. We highly recommend this hotel.

Part of the hotel was under renovation at the time of our stay but this did not impact us and the staff made extra efforts to make us at ease and apologise for any inconvenience. The hotel was lovely, well situated and the room itself was brilliant, and very reasonably priced.

This well-kept and pleasantly furnished hotel is in a quiet location a short distance away from the town centre. We were upgraded to a delightful room with sea-view because work was being done in the reception area. Staff were most apologetic about this although the builders were no problem (try the Glasgow variety for comparison!). In general, staff were extremely friendly and helpful - quite possibly the friendliest we have come across in Italy. The breakfast buffet was rather good by Italian standards; there was even a choice of herbal teas. I'd recommend La Floridiana to anyone.

I will say the staff there are the most amazing people I've delt with.They went well beyond what the normal is and took care of us as if we were royalty from caring our bags from the bus stop to getting one of the finest resturants Capre has to offer to stay open for just us.Also having the kitchen stay open at the Hotel for a late breakfest. I just did a trip all through Italy and stayed at 7 cities and 7 different hotels and have also traveled all over the world and have never had such service. I will absolutely recomend this Hotel to everyone..The Suites were ammazing and view was incredible. Should be a 4 or 5 star hotel

We were very pleased with the Floridiana Hotel. The staff members were helpful and pleasant. Our room was bright and clean and had a lovely view. It was nice to have a large bathtub instead of just a small shower. The breakfast was not the greatest, but was adequate. I would definately recommend it to others.

Accommodation excellent. The room was clean and comfortable, with beautiful views out toward the sea. Staff was welcoming and helpful. Good location a little way out of the center of Capri town. Hotel directions were to take the route which led to a long series of steps down to the entrance; however, it is also possible to take another route which replaces the steps with a long sloping walkway. Excellent breakfast, available until 10:30.

Terrible Hotel. Very unfriendly at reception desk, bordering on rude. Room unclean - Previous guests clothes left in drawers, used soap ect in bathroom, half drunk drinks minibar. Room not even serviced after first day. Terrace dirty and furniture fit to be thrown out. And all this for €255 per night. Stay far away!!!

We LOVED this hotel! We had a junior suite, and for a nice price. The breakfast in the morning was the best, with tons of choices. The view is fantastic, and it's close to the everything in Capri. I only hope I can stay there again. The staff was lovely. We felt like it was a five star hotel.

CAPRI - A one night stay on the island made the signt seeing far more relaxed. especially when most people disappear after 8. THIS HOTEL - slightly out of the way, which is nice as it makes you find a few other areas and as everything is so close together it's not an issue. It's clean with friendly and helpful staff. Our room with sea view balcony was lovely, a clear view to the horizon. HINTS - Boat trips to the Blue Grotto - go early, the do not tell you that you have to queue for an extra hour+ for the row boats to take you into the grotto. Use the funicular train to get to the main sq, it's found on to the right of the port, tickets are bought slightly further up the road. There's a lovely hidden bar overlooking the main sq.. go up the small steps behind the clocktower. Use the hotels postcode and street into to MultiMap to get easy directions to the hotel.

The hotel itself is pretty nice, but far to walk from the cable car station. (If you want your luggage to be delivered, you have to pay an extra 7 euro) We're greeted with a friendly staff when we checked in, but later we were being served by a staff who was rude, not helpful and cold. The room was tiny, the lady said it's all full that they can't give us a better room with view. Breakfast room is nice, facing the ocean at the balcony. But hotwater from the tank is dirty. It's recommendable if they can offer a superior room to you.

The hotel was lovely with spacious rooms, huge bathrooms, patios with a great view and very clean. There is a long walk from the funiclular/taxi stand to the hotel along a cement path through stores, restaurants, etc. This is a busy thoroughfare, no stairs but a steep incline, at times, going towards the hotel. The hotel contracts out a service that will take your bags from hotel to funicular/taxi for 3.5 Euro per bag but they need advance notice- not sure if they will pick up bags and take to hotel as well. Ask if interested. Breakfast was pretty good for Italy with the best coffee we had on the entire trip. All cold foods but good variety and quality. Dining room was beautiful overlooking the water, all windows, great view. Easy to take a walk along the coast to see the natural beauty of Capri- it is just gorgeous and very peaceful. The service at the hotel was variable - the evening when we checked in the person was not friendly or helpful and almost brusque. We waited until the morning and that person was very friendly and helpful. There was no one to help with our bags (no elevator and many different levels) when we checked in - we assumed because it was not peak season yet. Very nice hotel, variable service but would definitely recommend.

L'albergo e la sua posizione sono straordinari. Ci sono stati alcuni inconvenienti probabilmente perchè fuori stagione(camera data con 1 ora di ritardo,serranda finestra non funzionante(riparata cmq in giornata),rumorosità dei vicini con due bambini piccoli). Il soggiorno è stato nel complesso buono,spero cmq la prossima volta di avere più fortuna con gli inconvenienti.

This hotel was amazing - we thought we got a great deal for this huge room with a safe and huge bathroom with a jacuzzi tub which was much needed. The balcony also had a great view. It was confusing and a little out of the way to find(in comparison to the instructions given) but once you find your way it is easy. This was definetly the pinnacle of our trip and would definetly stay there again if we could get the same kind of deal!! The hospitality was also really good and they offer a service to have your luggage brought to the ferry for a small price - well worth it!!

It was in mid Oct04. For a budget traveller this hotel is already quite luxe for me and I therefore paid accordingly when I was advised that my room has been upgraded for an extra 15.00 euro p/night to a double with bigger bathroom for 105.00 euro ; Hard to resist,but I had a resful stay in La Floridiana. As you are in Capri, expect the cost to raise a notch or two in every which way.

A lovely hotel in a lovely location. The room was bright and spacious. Bathroom was spotless, nice fluffy towels! Staff at this hotel were not very friendly, also because we got a good deal by booking on this website they put pressure on us to pay cash when we were checking out. This had not been mentioned on the website when booking.

The panorama from the picture windows looked like paradise. Seagulls crisscossing above with the sea in the background, and the wonderful fragrance of Capri wafting through the room. Truly a sight to enjoy and remember. However, I don't know why so many italian hotels do not let you control the temperature of your room. The A/C is set at a standard 25 C, which was too cold. Fortunately there was a ceiling fan. Also, the breakfast at the hotel was terrible. A suggestion: there is a porter service at the Marina Grande which can transport your luggage to your hotel. I wish the hotel had advised me of this when I called for directions, schlepping through Capri with luggage in tow was hot and tiring.

Attractive, very updated room. Hotel is located a short distance from the most active areas, in quieter portion of Capri. I thought the quiet location was a major plus. Staff was competent, showed considerable interest in some guests, but was disinterested in other guests.

This hotel was amazing! Capri is a beautiful place and La Floridiana made it even more beautiful. The pictures on the site do not do it justice. When we arrived, we were floored by the beautiful dining room with floor to ceiling windows that overlooked the mountains and ocean. Even better was the fact that our new best friend, Valerio, upgraded us from two standard doubles (which were clean and nice with big bathrooms and balconies with lounge chairs) to a huge two bedroom/two bathroom suite with a kitchen and private deck complete with lounge chairs, tables, a swing and beautiful ocean and mountain views. We could not have been happier! The food was tasty (wonderful steaks!), the service was great (reception helped us with everything from reservations to directions to lugging our huge suitcases up and down the stairs (I don't think they have an elevator)) and the location was perfect - close to Capri's main square but just far enough to make you feel like you were someplace "exclusive". It is within walking distance of all of the boutiques, local shops, buses and the cable car. We had a wonderful stay at La Floridiana and would be happy to go back anytime. I highly recommend this hotel!

3 nights in a room with pation but no sea view, very spacious but felt it was a bit dark due to lack of natural light. Further 3 nights in a room with a sea view .smaller but felt much more comfortable. Staff friendly but reserved. Badly need a separate bar area. Breakfast menu could have a wider variety but plenty available.
