We stayed here for 3 nights and when I think about it now I'm so mad we didn't move. Our room was on the ground floor with our "terrace" overlooking an alley way. It was loud at night with people, cats and dogs, and to be honest I never felt that safe (there was an open gate from the alley onto our terrace). With no AC and no fan we didn't sleep at all.

The bathroom was awful. It was very old (and not in a quant way). Grubby shower, useless shower head, open toilet cistern etc. Our room was tidied but the towels were never changed.

No one asked us if everything was ok during our stay and we found the staff to be indifferent.

Capri is such a lovely place, but really we were very relieved to be leaving it in the end. We travelled around the Amalfi coast on a budget for two weeks and had no experiences like this anywhere else.

We stayed at Hotel Loreley in late September, 2005 and were happy with our stay, the staff were all very friendly and helpfull and all spoke english. Breakfast was great, as far as European hotel breakfasts go. Our room was very basic but had a nice view of the Ocean and was clean. The shower was miniscule and the water pressure almost non-existent! But...if all you need is a basic, clean room I would highly reccomend the Loreley...We would stay there again.

We stayed at Loreley for a week in the off-season of early October 2005. We selected the place from a numbers of offers on the local tourist website, without much supporting information as to its quality. But already the first impression was very positive. The owner, Mr.Michele Capotenuto and his family run the hotel in a very efficient way and keep it attractively appointed inside and out. We had very good and quite substantial breakfasts: plenty of espresso coffee, fresh cornettoes, bread, butter and jam. Mr. Capotenuto has been most helpful in solving the problem of recovering our baggage that Air France lost between Montreal in Canada and Napoli in Italy. It was an advantage that we could communicate in English (or in French with his sister) without any difficulties and use his computer or telephone while tracing our belongings.

Hotel Loreley is conveniently situated in the middle of Anacapri, just off the central Piazza, a few steps to shops, cafés, restaurants, places worth visiting (Axel Munthe’s Villa San Michele), and the funiculare going up to the top of Monte Solaro. But at the same time it is screened from the busy Via Orlandi, so that no noise disturbs the peace within. We had a room with a terrace and ‘a view’ (camera panoramica) on the distant island of Ischia. From the Piazza, the frequently circulating local small orange bus would take us in the matter of minutes to the village of Capri, lower down, for more shopping and further walks, or to the little port of Marina Grande for trips to Naples, Sorrento or other destinations

The hotel is well positioned for hiking. Especially to be recommended is the ‘Sentiero dei Fortini’, a hiking trail running along the high cliffs of the western shore, following the line of coastal forts, dating from the Napoleonic wars. Another route takes you to walk down to the Blue Grotto (‘Grotta Azzurra’) avoiding a longer boat trip from the Marina Grande.

Being back home and thinking about our holidays, we cannot think of a better place to spend holidays on an island of Capri then a small, charming hotel of Loreley with his friendly owner, Mr. Capotenuto, his gentle Father and the francophone Sister.

I stayed at Hotel Loreley in September 2004 for 3 days after a wedding in Capri. We had no view. Fine. We had no shower. That's a problem. the door on our shower were broken We had no a/c, fine, but a fan that was at 30 years old and made the most noise when you turned it on that we had to turnoff it because there was no way you could sleep for wail .When we live it came time to pay, the manager dint gave us any chance about getting a discount.
He also didn't have a credit card machine, and we should pay cash.
Newer again, I wouldn't go there again if I was paid!
