On top of the marina and bus stop, this little gem of a hotel is the place to be and see from. We had the attic room, which has its own private terrace with about the best views available from the lower half of the city. Other guests have a lowered shared balcony, and sweet window views. All guests have to climb six flights of steep stairs, but if you come here you're probably prepared to climb anyway.
Issue with the attic room is it is truly an attic. 6' and above people will have a hard time fitting. Worth it I think. Large in other dimension people will have a squeeze getting up the attic stairs, and fitting in attic's shower. The shower is awesome though. A mini-phonebooth of high water pressure with drench, hand wand, and six body jet modes. Perfect for cleansing after Amalfi Coast hikes. Hair dryer provided also very powerful for a hotel. Room gets dirty and shows it very easily.
Problematic was the nonfunctional AC unit (wasn't overbearing yet in May as can get nice breeze, and you're not there mid-day anyway). We slept with door open. Felt more than safe, plus the waves and birds are so soothing. Also many outlets and switches are dead. Bit mildewy. WiFi is advertised as common area, and is weak in room. Does work on attic's private terrace and that balcony.
Breakfast changes a bit day-to-day, good. Fresh from the maker soft mozzarella and mapled? skinny weinnies are standouts. The fresh baked sugar croissants are as good as can be found anywhere, really.
Lastly, you will wake up at 7 AM. This is a town issue as all the churches have a cadence, with the Duomo's going for minutes.
