As a New Zealander I traveled 24 hours for 3 short weeks to have a taste of what you Europeans have on your doorstep!!! (i waited 50 years for the experience as it does cost us heaps!!!!) Thank goodness my husband and I arrived at Excelsior with an open mind.. First of all I can not fathom why people complain... more

My Husband and i spent the week at the excelsior Hotel we had a lovely time. The only down side was the weather. We both found the staff very friendly and would love to go back more

I am not sure whether I am dreaming but the hotel Grand Excelsior that I spent a week in was a far cry from the one described by some critics. Our second visit in 2 years. We will return. Brilliant loation with stunning views. Super friendly staff no matter what their duties. Antonio and Mauricio (unclear of the exact spelling... more

From the moment we arrived at this hotel (and what a drive from Naples airport!) the staff were helpful, friendly and welcoming. Yes - it looks like a throw back from a later 1960s/early1970s Bond film, but its spotlessly clean and the old fashioned style of the hotel is part of the charm. The hotel is way up a huge... more

How wonderfull also to have waiters bringing... more

Just returned from another two weeks at this lovely Hotel We used to visit this Hotel mainly for the Mountain Walking. It's position high above Amalfi near the village of Pogerola makes it an ideal starting point for many walks. Although we have walked all the paths over the past 8 years we still return twice a year. It is... more

We stayed here as part of a group travel program the last week of September. As others have noted, the hotel is located about a 10-15 minute drive from town. There is a stairway that allows you to walk to town, and some of our group used it. Between the free hotel shuttle and the local public bus, it's rather... more

This is by far the best place to stay in Amalfi. It is just outside of town, up on a breathtaking hill. The hotel offers a free bus every day into town. The rooms have french doors that open onto a balcony that over looks the ocean. Half board is amazing. Waiters in white tuxs serving amazing food under silver... more

My parents stayed at this hotel when we all came to Amalfi for my wedding. The hotel was further from town than expected, and unless you wanted to wait for their shuttles, the ride to town with their "taxis" was double of what the local taxis charged. The staff was rude to my elderly parents and not at all accommodating... more
