    Welcoming, friendly and attentive staff. Great facilities and wonderful views. Good quality breakfast with lots of choices. The restaurant was lovely when we visited one evening. The location is ideal with just a short walk (down a hill) to town where beaches, restaurants and walking routes are located. We had on site parking (not dedicated spaces) that felt secure and made check in and check out easy.

    We could hear everything from our room. The cleaning staff started working at 9am in the morning in the rooms in front of ours and they were constantly shouting to each other. We could not rest well.

    The staff was very friendly. The hotel offers a shuttle service between the hotel and the town/beach. This was really useful and nice to have. The driver was super nice!!

    As mentioned, the hotel is slightly out of town on a hill. It's ok to walk down, but a steeper climb to come back. I would recommend using the hotel shuttle bus and/or local taxi

    This is a gem of a hotel. Located slightly out of town, the views from our sea facing room were spectacular. The rooms are comfortable, clean and a good size. Staff are lovely and looked after us well. I would be happy to visit again.

    We attended a wedding there and what can I say, the venue was so beautiful, fantastic views and lots of outdoor space. The food was great with a vast selection of breakfast and lunch choices. The staff was so helpful especially the tall waiter ( I didn't get his name!) who looked after us so well! Very comfortable beds, spoessly clean, and a lift was available. It's a steep walk back from the town but worth it for the views! They also provide a shuttle every 30 minutes.We loved everything about our stay!

    Lovely breakfast - everything that you could want; egg and bacon, fresh fruit of many varieties, fresh pastries etc Lovely pool - but even better beaches. No need for a car, as the location is perfect walking distance to everything. Very, very friendly and helpful staff. My thanks to Francesco, Domenico (?)(helping me with the bus!), Antonio (forevever ferrying me around!) and all the lovely, lovely staff!

    Met all expectations. Nice relaxing stay in a very well kept and maintained old hotel.

    A "do not disturb/please clean room" card would have been helpful both to us and to the cleaners. Some form of additional seating in the room other than the single upright dining type chair would have been nice. although room size might prevent it. Couldn't find any English TV channels, (maybe a bonus point though!). The walk back from town/seafront which we did a few times because it was outside shuttlebus scheduled times. The bus schedule seemed to be run for the drivers convenience rather than the hotel guests. It finished at 7 pm which was a deterrent to eating in the town. (A cynic might say this was to force guests to use the hotel restaurant). Pool sun loungers and umbrellas were a bit "tired" and being a back sufferer I found them most uncomfortable. A few upright chairs would have been nice.. The pool didn't seem to have any depth markers and it catches you out the first time when you find the pool deepens quite suddenly halfway along! Had to ask too often for breakfast coffee jug to be filled.

    Breakfast selection was OK. Cereals, bacon, scrambled eggs and loads of cakes?? etc. Good coffee, (when it was available!). Lunch and dinner restaurant menu and food quality was first class. Loved the view from the sea facing balcony. Air con was very efficient and automatically controlled room temperature. Nice powerful shower. Bar staff very friendly and efficient but had to use call bell to get served. The shuttlebus was useful but almost essential given the long steep incline back from the seafront. Pool area management was OK, making sure people didn't "hog" the sun loungers.

    There were several things that I really appreciated about this hotel. Firstly, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond to ensure that my needs were met. The room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed, providing a comfortable place to relax after a long day. The hotel's amenities, such as the pool and fitness center, were also great additions that enhanced my overall experience. Additionally, the convenient location made it easy for me to explore the surrounding area and access nearby attractions. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with this hotel and would definitely stay here again in the future.

    Hotel is getting outdated, bathrooms small and probably 30 years old looking at the style. Could imagine hotel would be noisy when fully booked in high season, but very quiet with just a few guests at the end of season. Pool was great but needs some work done to keep it up to standard.

    Wonderfull setting with a magnificent seaview. Good breakfast as well as dinner, setting on the terrace is magnificent, large pool which was great to swim. A jewel in Castellabate.
