This must be the one of the worst hotels my partner and I had ever stayed at, especially within the medium price range. Our bathroom was filthy; the electric socket next to one of the beds was missing, revealing the wiring underneath; the bed itself was not the cleanest; and, despite the snow storm raging outside, the heating did not...

We've stayed at the Hotel Positano many times. We choose it because we're staff travelling with university students on limited budgets. Students stay in dormitories of 3-6 beds and staff stay in single or double rooms. Although modest in provision with small rooms we take pleasure in the reasonable prices and the location - only 5 minutes from Termini Station... More

Hostel Positano is in a good location very close to the train station. We walked everywhere and never took the train. We were able to walk to all the main attractions including collesium, vatican, forum, etc. There are many restaurants and bars around the hotel which is very convienient. The hotel staff isn't the friendliest but were helpful. I had... More

The location was very good, just around the corner from the train station. Close to a supermarket and a metro. But these are the only good things about it. The hostel was dirty and had graffiti and swear words and beer bottle stickers on all the walls. There was hair on the floor, the toilets stank and neither of them... More

Great place, easy to find, close to Termini, the main station with metro/buses. Our room was clean, bed linen and towels changed daily. Ensuite bathroom was surprisingly big and even had a bidet; fancy. Room had a safe in it and also a fairly big wardrobe and two mirrors. No breakfast - just a vending machine downstairs. Staff were friendly... More

We found the Hotel Positano by asking for a recommendation at the Beehive, a Rick Steves' recommended hotel. The location was fantastic, blocks from the Termini train station in Rome, only 5 minutes away from Termini and Metro, , the bedding and linens were clean, the price was right and again, the location was great. The reception staff was friendly... More

Very poor condition, smelly and dirty. The power went out about 4 or 5 times at night because it couldnt cope with all the people on the floor using laptops and hair dryers so had to go downstairs (6 floors) to get reception to reset it everytime. Extremely noisy, don't expect to get any sleep, beds are crap, no bedding,... More
