This was my second time staying at the Miramare and it was just as enjoyable as the first. The hotel staff is more than helpful and accommodating and the view from the balcony is really something.

Very enjoyable stay,great hospitality,the owners were good enough to upgrade our room,so we ended up with a fantastic view.The comments about the steps are true but it is worth it!Breakfast was served on the terrace which was a nice touch.

The hotel and service was fantastic. If you have a car, make sure to contact them about parking - it's tricky. You'll need to get them to open the lot, and to get the the lobby is probably down 100+ stairs. WE LOVED this place, and loved that we were not stuck in the middle of the "downtown" area. If you have problems with stairs you may want a different location. However, the room was beautiful, the staff was by far the best crew we came across on our travels. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Positano is magical and Hotel Miramare brings it all right to you. It is the perfect location for everything - you will have a private terrace where all you can see is the ocean! Thank goodness the strong porters will carry your bags from the road - thank goodness. When we checked in the front desk said you will have a gorgeous room with a gorgeous view - you are very lucky - and she was right!!!

Everything was fine, except for the multitude of ants which eventually made their way into the luggage. And, as in most places in Positano, it's quite a climb from the beach (413 steps), so come prepared. Staff most friendly and helpful.

Great hotel and great service! The views from the hotel are absolutely spectacular. Rosita was wonderful, and helped us plan every minute of our stay in Positano.

The room we had was lovely. Although it didn't appear to be in the main part of the hotel, but a renovated building next door to the hotel. The room was still of a high standard and had great views of the water. There are ALOT of stairs to get to this hotel, both to the beach and from the road so if you have trouble with mobility I would reconsider. Or at least ensure you have arranged for someone from the hotel to carry your bags. Overall it was one of the best hotels we stayed at in our entire 8 day trip - and we stayed at hotels up and down the Amalfi Coast.

This hotel deserves the stellar reputation it's earned. It was a perfect hotel from which to take in Positano, one of the most picturesque places on the planet. The staff here is unsurpassed. There's a reason why Rosita is like a celebrity on these sites--she takes such pleasure helping guests. While our room was on the smaller side, we chose it because it had one of the biggest balconies the hotel could offer. We didn't regret the decision. We spent most of our time on that balcony, taking it all in. On our last day, we arranged to have breakfast on the balcony--we wish we had done that every day we were there. We can't say enough good things about this hotel. Go and enjoy!

Miramare is a terrific hotel. Like all hotels in Positano, it is a bit difficult to get to. There are many steps required to get to and from the town area. It is not for the elderly or infirm. Notwithstanding, it is a beautiful property with spectacular views. The terrace breakfast area is one of the nicest of any of the places that we have stayed over the years. We only stay at 4 star properties and above and Miramare compares favorably. We would stay again.

So many steps in Positano that it is tough on most people. There is no nice bar in the hotel which we left was a pity since you have to walk up steps or down steps do do anything.

Great hotel and location. Because the entire town is so vertical, all places are measured in steps (stairs) up or down. Eg, the hotel was 100 steps down from the parking lot; the beach was 201 steps down from the beach; a favorite shop was 145 steps up from the beach, etc. These people must all be very healthy! One of the most beautiful and picturesque and romantic spots I've ever seen on Earth. (And I am a pretty seasoned traveller!) The hotel staff were both friendly and helpful; however, the staff at tourist restaurants at the beach were neither friendly nor helpful. We felt like cattle being moved in and out of the restaurants. If you visit Positano, try and visit the smaller restaurants above the beach level, and you won't be disappointed with either the food nor the service.

Very friendly warm and welcoming staff who couldn't do enough. Stunning location. Not for the old or infirm, though, as Positano is perched on a cliff and it's a long walk back up to the hotel. However, you'd probably have this issue wherever you stayed in Positano. Definitely recommend this place.
