The hotel definitely deserves 3***. It seems it has been renovated not too long time ago.
Although directly situated in the old town centre, our hotel room was very calm. Restaurants and shops may be found all around the hotel.
The room had a climatisation, a bath with shower, toilet and bidet. The room was not very large, but adequate, clean and in very good shape.
Room service and breakfast service personnel was friendly. The choice at the breakfast buffet could have been a bit more comprehensive, but quantity was fine.
The town and coast of Amalfi is definitely worth a visit. It is a splendid jewel at the meditarenian coast. For beach tourists, however, it should be indicated the beach is made up of darker sand, which is hot to walk onto and when walking into the sea, it becomes a little stony. So better wear waterproof shoes... The beach is not too big either, thus Amalfi is not an ideal target for a pure beach holiday, but definitely for a beach holiday combined with culture and italian flair!
