We have visited Ancora once a year for the last 7 years. The quality of the hotel and the beautiful views from all of the rooms are fabulous. It has a great location as well. Add to this that the personnel are terrific. Eleonora and Anna at the reception desk and the housekeeping and breakfast staff are as good as... more

My husband and I had an amazing experience during our stay in Positano, thanks to the beautiful accommodations and the gracious staff. Our room was absolutely lovely, complete with a heavenly terrace with unbelievable views of the ocean and coastline. It was truly breathtaking. Anna, the concierge, made our stay exceptional. We really enjoyed talking with her, and she always... more

We stayed at Ancorra from 16-23 June '07. The hotel is conveniently located with free parking (very important in Positano)and our room had a lovely view both from the sun terrace and the jacuzzi in the bathroom but that's all it had going for it. The breakfast was poor for this standard of hotel and the breakfast room was horrid,... more

We loved the view from our room. From the jacuzzi tub in the bathroom you could view the sea as well as from the balacony. Positano is a breathtaking and magical place. This hotel displayed this well. You can use the sister hotel's, that is pretty close to the beach. Only negative is that there is no restaurant or food... more

Positano is a magical place and that comes at a price. We thought Hotel Ancora was a good affordable hotel for the area (which is already very posh!). The hallways and common areas were a bit run-down but our room was nice and the bathroom was gorgeous. Even though there is no swimming pool on site guests can use the... more

I agree with the previous review. Had a suite with a jacuzzi and the views from the balcony were spectacular. The staff was very friendly and attentive. This hotel was located right next door from the pricey Le Sirenuse Hotel. The only drawback was the location. By that I mean it was an easy walk going down to the beach... more

We stayed at the Hotel Ancora for 3 nights of our honeymoon and had the most amazing time. Our room had an enourmous terrace overlooking the ocean with a 4 person hot tub. There was a canopy that could come down over the tub for privacy, along with a wrought iron table and chairs. We had breakfast delivered every morning... more

We stayed with friends in November and absolutely loved the hotel. It is in a great location, only about a 5 minute walk to the main part of town and 10 minutes to the beach. We had junior suites which were very large, clean and with huge terraces overlooking the beach. The staff we all fabulous and very, very helpful... more

This hotel had a great view and the room was huge. It was also very clean with a nice breakfast and lovely staff. It was a bit expensive-but I guess a lot of hotels in Positano are. . .a quick 10 minutes walk to the beach so the location was fine. more

7/7 found this review helpful

A lovely room with a good but incredibly public terrace in a nice central location but vastly overpriced. For a few euros more we wished we had stayed at Le Sirenuse next door. Breakfast was poor served in a horrible room. Our bathroom was antiquated and there was some noise from surrounding rooms. Someone needs to look at the price... more
