This hotel was amazing. It’s so close to the port if you are taking the ferry in and still close to all the shops and restaurants. The staff were attentive and super friendly! We stayed at this hotel for our honeymoon and when we got there they offered us a complimentary bottle of champagne. If you are staying in Amalfi, I highly recommend this place!

Awesome hotel. Staff is very helpful, a two minute walk to Amalfi shops and restaurants and bus and ferries. We had the balcony and in October we opened the door and could see the sea plus get the breeze in. Only about 5 stairs to get to the lobby and the staff were so helpful to get the luggage up and down them. In an area where there are stairs everywhere this was great. They also have an elevator to the floors plus a free breakfast which was yummy! We’d absolutely stay again!!

Outstanding location with quick access to all transportation and shopping in Amalfi. Staff was the real difference as they were incredibly accommodating and attentive to our needs and requests. The front desk arrange a private golf cart tour up to Ravello that was amazing. He dropped us off to explore for the day ( with his recommendations ) and then continued to provide insights on the return trip with stops at key photo spots along the way. Super warm and welcoming hotel and staff Rooftop bar had a fantastic band one night. Just a great stay.

A Thoroughly Delightful Stay!

Hotel La Bussola was lovely! All the staff - from reception to restaurant to room cleaners and laundry services - were friendly, accommodating, and very helpful. They scheduled ground transportation, offered ideas and recommendations, and made the most delicious meals! Our room was immaculate, as were all the other areas of the hotel. The hotel is conveniently located on the main road along the Amalfi waterfront, within walking distance of the ferry port and bus/shuttle center, and only steps away from beaches, dining, shopping, ATMs, and tourist sites.

Nice hotel in great location but they have unusual and inconvenient system for serving food for the breakfast! Guests can’t help themselves for the open buffet there was one staff to serve you and all the guests have to wait till she finishes before serving the second guest and if you forget soy or need to top up you have to take queue again, how silly was that!!

LOVED our time at this hotel so much we stayed an extra day. The rooms have so much character and the most beautiful ocean views. The location is perfect, within a couple of minutes walk to the ferry and excursions or shopping. At night the lounge upstairs was a bit loud, and the swimming area attendant wasn’t the friendliest or most attentive but we still had a blast there as a family of 5 (2 rooms).
