Excellent decoration of rooms. A little bit far from Positano downtown but nothing terrible.

BEAUTIFUL hotel with spectacular views from every room. Ask for a balcony with sun beds and you won't be disappointed! The staff have handy recommendations on where to eat 'cheaply' nearby. Make sure you get off at the first Positano stop if you arrive on the Amalfi coast bus from Sorrento. Then wait for a small orange bus to come which will stop right outside the hotel (just ask the bus driver if it goes to the Best Western). I think bus tickets were only 1 Euro per person. It is a steep walk down to the town/beach from the hotel (takes about 10-15 minutes) but you can easily get an orange bus down and back up to the hotel instead.

I missed the upper floor breakfast area terrace, that although indicated on the pictures, it was converted into more rooms. However all rooms hace a private balcony, so we could enjoy terrific views of Positano.

My son and I travelled here for a last-minute weekend trip and this hotel worked out very nicely for us. The room was small but nice and there was ample room for clothing and luggage. The patio overlooking the sea was very nice also. I would stay here again for future visits.

Great hotel. Had a balcony room with an amazing view: that said, I am not sure if all the hotels in Positano have spectacular views anyway. Service was a little stand-offish. Breakfast was great, with fresh/hot pastries amongst the buffet. Room was small but delightful, with outstanding view and a charming terrace).

Positano was a beautiful town, and the Best Western Pasitea was great! The view from the room was excellent, and the room was more than we expected. It was certainly worth the money. We stayed two nights. I hope to visit Positano again and when I do I want to stay in the Best Western Pasitea again.

We travelled as a family of four with two parents and two university aged adult children. The hotel rooms were clean with great verandahs and fantastic views. Hotel staff were very helpful with recommendations for restaurants, activities, car hire and so on. No complaints here. The price was very reasonable given the beautiful location. Highly recommended.

For our first visit in Positano it was the perfect time and the perfect hotel. we had wonderful time but unfortunately we spent only one night so we dont know if it would have affected our answers if we stayed more nights. Positano was our last point in the south before returned to Rome. We are sure we will visit again in the future but we are afraid to visit in the summer time as we learned it is soooooo crouded. thank you and hope we helped.

A fabulous hotel in a fabulous town. Huge room, with jacuzzi, sitting room, very comfortable bed and lovely terrace festooned with bougainvillea and overlooking the town and Amalfi coast. Staff was welcoming and competent. Hotel is located on a local bus route that will take you down to the shore and (more important) bring you back up. Highly recommended!

My husband, daughter, and I fell in love with Positano. This hotel was perfect for our stay. Before we even arrived our experience was a positive one. Tony arranged for a car to pick us up at the Naples train station and take us to the hotel. The Rainbow car service was fabulous and we used them on 2 other occasions. Tony also helped us arrange our trip to Capri. Enzo's restaurant recommendations were good. The view from the hotel balcony is magnificient. Positano and Hotel Best Western Pasitea were the perfect ending to our trip to Italy. Even though many places were closed, we enjoyed the peacefulness. We look forward to coming back to Positano and this hotel.

This hotel was a delightful surprise to us. The location on the cliff was excellent and the bus line to take you to the beach was right outside the door. The room and bathroom were very spacious and the view from the balcony was fabulous. The staff was extremely helpful in arranging tours, boat trips, a car service for us, and recommending restaurants. We would not hesitate to stay there again.

Nice clean room, spa bath in the bathroom was great! Large balcony provided beautiful views. Although the double room we had was a little different to the photos on the website. Ours was smaller with no couch. Excellent experience for our first time in Positano. Wish we could've stayed longer as we only stayed one night.

Top quality hotel with beautiful views accross the bay and down into Positano, staff were excellent and friendly and comptent. Room was fantastic with a terrece with recliners table and chairs looking out to sea. There is only one road winding its way through Positano and this hotel is directly on it, however there are no noise or traffic issues and road only carries village traffic as thru traffic uses main road above village. I would reccomend this hotel in all aspects and believe that it was better situated than those closer to the bottom of the hill as it afforded views and was more relaxed and not caught up in the tourist crush. Breakfast was very good and more than sufficed with a good selection. Bar was well priced. The room itself had a fridge which was empty which allowed the option of using to have drinks from bar in room or to keep food in to make sandwhiches for the days out. Very good overall and didn't give all 10's as felt this would mean no room to improve but in reality this hotel was faultless and excellent value for money. No complaints and a lot of happy memories. Thanks alot.

The photos were pretty much exactly how the room was. BEAUTIFULL!! we had a balcony overlooking water it was just magic. Although, the room could have been a little larger and being the third person I had the honour of sleeping on the foldout lounge. So my only suggestion to the nice people at Hotel Pasitea would be to PLEASE install a single bed instead of the uncomfortable lumpy lounge I had the pleasure of experiencing. All in all it was a lovely stay in a beautiful hotel with helpful staff. Oh, and the breakfast was more then we expected, yum. We would certainly recommend this hotel and feel one would be hard pressed to find anything better in gorgeous Positano.

El hotel es muy bueno, se puede dejar el auto estacionado,(con costo). La vista desde los balcones de los cuartos es muy linda. Los empleados son muy atentos. Los cuartos son muy comodos. Esta a minutos caminando del centro de Positano y se hace el recorrido muy agaradablemente.El desayuno es bastante bueno, con fiambres, panes, jugos, al estilo italiano, y con ricos capuccinos.

Beautiful place. We actually got married during our stay at Le Sireneuse but stayed here due to the more reasonable price. We stayed in the largest room and it was beautiful. There were terrace ocean views from each room which were spectacular, and for Positano you could not beat the value. We will definitely stay at the Pasitea on our next visit to Positano.

This not being our first time to Positano, we were somewhat disappointed to find that the hotel was in fact a long way from the centre of town. The staff were not particularly friendly upon check in either. We should have stayed in our last hotel - cheaper, quieter and much, much, much closer to town. I would not recommend staying at the Pasitea.

No one wanted to wait a second for anything!). It was a great stay. All of the restaurunts they recommended were out of this world. The Costelino (spelling???) up on the hilltop with great door to door car service and a fabulous meal with a view you'll never forget! WOW!

We loved Hotel Pasitea...the location, the facility and the staff. We had the most spacious balcony overlooking a magnificient view of the mountainside into the water. Breathtaking! The only problem we encountered was a leaky faucet in our bathroom sink and although we asked to fix it 3 times, the only thing that was done was to give us an extra bathmat to help sop up the water (Room #33). It was an inconvenience. Also, the shower stall only had 1/2 glass door and often the shower (which was a hand held type that is most common in Italy) sprayed the water all over the bathroom floor.

I planned a trip last minute to travel to the coast with my mother. The hotel was very friendly, knowledgable, and accomodating. The breakfast was decent for being included, and the views from the rooms are spectacular. Our room was actually much larger than we expected. Our only trouble was getting to the hotel, but that may have been our own fault. I would highly recommend this hotel. (and they speak english!)

This is a beautiful hotel with a great location. The rooms were just as advertised on internet or perhaps even better. The balconys were very large with tables and lounge chairs and incredible views. The hotel is right on the city bus route, and it stops outside the door. There is a lot of beautiful art in the hotel as well. The breakfast was also good with a few extras, sliced ham, cheese, etc. We took a free shuttle bus to a restaurant recommended by the hotel which we were not that impressed with. Could not really recommend that. But other- wise all perfect!!! bus to a restaurant

I had originally booked a suite believing that I would have a large balcony as pictured on the website. When we arrived the junior suite had a tiny balcony and bathroom, in a massive room with jacuzzi. The standard room at 70 euro cheaper per night had a larger bathroom, and beautiful balcony with views. The staff were prepared to let me change rooms, however at the higher price. I complained about this and they then agreed to my request. The interno positano bus stops directly outside the hotel, and saw if feeling lazy after dinner one can easily get home on the bus! Would highly recommend this property. Excellent location and value for money.

This place is not cheap but worth the money for a short stay. Once you get the hang of the one-way bus it is easy to get around. Staff very friendly and competent and referals to modestly priced restaurants were spot on. All rooms really do overlook the sea. Couples should consider booking one of the rooms with jacuzi on private terrace.

I am going to be critical so I had better start by saying that if I was going back to Positano I would book here again. The views are fantastic, the private terraces lovely, no complaints, HOWEVER the photos are most misleading. The furniture is cheap, the beds mediocre, the headboards attached to the wall not the bed. We did complain that our room was much smaller than the one featured in the photo & were offered that room instead, but it's terrace is small & low (near road) so we opted for what we had. The "Piano Bar" is just for looks - there is a Piano in Reception! It's not dishonesty, just some very effective photography. Great staff & like I said, next time I go, will book there.

This hotel was excellent overall. The staff recommended numerous restaurants off the beaten path that were very good. There was usually free transportation to these restaurants. We had a superior suite that was very large and our outdoor terrace was probably 10 ft. x 25 ft. Breakfast was reasonable (some meats, fruit, cheese, danishes, yogurt). On the negative side the walls were paper-thin and we could hear the guests next to us. The hair dryer was basically a small fan so bring your own. Overall, though, it was a wonderful stay with an incredible view, and the staff is excellent.
