Hotel La Bussola, is a wonderful and unique property. The entire staff is extremely welcoming and do whatever they can to make you feel comfortable. The views from the room with balconies are simply awe inspiring, with direct vistas of the ocean and the small boats it was for us the best way to start our morning and to end our evenings. The most practical thing was that its location allows you to go out into town and walk back to your room without any hassle of having to climb hundreds of steps. Francesca on staff was just amazing, she is genuinely kind and very helpful to us during the time we spent at the hotel. The cleaning staff were truly very talented, taking cleanliness to another level and with a smile. We would definitely return to Hotel La Bussola! We spent 6 days there as our base and in total stayed 11 days in the region.

Location is excellent. Marina view on the no through road so no road or traffic noise. Breakfast was great, omelettes were fab. First floor rooms in need of updating but cleaned and fresh towels daily. Location was excellent for getting into the town or the ferry or the bus. Recommend this hotel definitely

The hotel, service personnel except for 1 front desk person were great. However, I would like to speak to someone to settle an issue that I had with the facility personnel regarding a request of an upgrade. I had asked for an upgrade the day before of my check in. I was quoted $50 per day difference which I had agreed to but at check out I was billed $99 per day difference. I tried to explain that there calculation was based on their net amount (total amount less commission) so for me to pay $99 per day I was paying the original commission again. They disagreed with me and being the lobby were filled with people, I paid the amount and left. I’m hoping you would be able to help me settle this issue. You can contact me. Thank you!

Had an amazing 5 night stay at La Bussola! As a solo traveler, location to the town was key. This hotel has everything - perfect sea views, clean rooms, spacious balconies, a great roof deck bar, friendly staff, the list goes on and on. I cannot wait to stay here again on my next trip

Loved the position of this hotel, for someone with mobility issues it was perfect. The room itself, especially the bathroom, would benefit from being updated. The bed however, was so comfortable but the pillows were a bit hard. Sitting on the balcony was a wonderful way to people watch. The breakfast had lots of choice and very nice staff. We didn’t eat dinner there, but the menu looked nice. Our favourite place to hang out was the rooftop bar. The choice of cocktails was fantastic, the bar staff and waiters were so friendly and the music was great. If I ever find myself in Amalfi again I would definitely stay at La Bussola again
