First of all, let me point out that this is a hostel, so really you shouldn't expect the same experience of a hotel, not even 1 or 2-star hotel. I had some time to kill in Italy so decided to check out parts of Italy that I haven't been to. Originally I planned to stay in Positano for two nights,... More

My friend and I stayed here for two nights, and really, it was two nights too many. We were led to believe that the hostel had parking and so if you see it advertised as having parking then this is not correct; the parking was just street parking quite a way away. we were assured that it was an ok...

We booked a private ensuite room for 2 nights and had company. The room was infested with ants and looked like it had been decorated by a 2 year old. The bed was uncomfortable and the toilet every minute day and night! The staff in the hostel were inconsistent in their attitude towards their guests. In all I would not... More

The terrace in front of the hostel has wonderful views and is the ideal place for breakfast and socialising, We had a private ensuite room with a small balcony above the terrace. Though small, the room had everything we needed and was very clean - as were the public areas. Though the hostel was very busy, the staff were unfailingly... More

The young brother and sister that run this place are very personable and the hostel has great terraces. But the room was horrible. Eight women crammed into a tiny room. One bathroom. No shower curtain. No lockers. Filthy. Clean sheets at least! More

While booking this lovely hostel from Canada, I had mentioned to Cosimo, an employee of Brikette that it would be my daughter's birthday while there, and was there a place nearby where we could have a great dessert. He emailed back immediately that he would love to arrange a surprise birthday party. I thought that was so kind. Once we... More

The service and hospitality at this hostel makes it an incredible place to stay. Siblings Cosimo and Carla were exceptionally wonderful hosts and made it a very fun stay. It rained all day when we got there and there was not much to do but sit in and socialize and both Cosimo and Carla were very accommodating- they let one... More

I'll keep it short. The rooms are disgusting. The rooms are NEVER vacuumed and is not possible to sleep because the bad smell caused by the toxic substance they use on the wall in order to keep off mosquitos and other insects. The shower is so dirty you will have to wear slippers to keep from getting a foot infection... More

We stayed here for five nights this past august and were a bit worried because of all the bad reviews. Although the rooms are nothing special and there are no locks on the room doors, the views from the terrace are spectacular, the staff was so nice and helpful, and the atmosphere was really great. One of the guys that... More

It really was a bad experience. My friends and I were put into a 10 bed dorm on arrival and the next day, staff had added 3... More
