Lungomare dei Cavalieri, 16 - Amalfi

The pleasure of waking up to the sound of the sea washing the Amalfi Coast. A pleasure which guests sleeping at Hotel La Bussola, a charming seaside establishment in the town of Amalfi, experience each and every morning.

La Bussola occupies an early 20th century pasta factory, painstakingly restored and masterly converted in unique, 4 star hotel. Brimming with Mediterranean charm, the hotel's spacious, light-filled bedrooms are furnished in classic Amalfi Coast fashion, complete with the area's typical, hand-painted majolica floor tiles. Almost all rooms enjoy breathtaking views of the sea. Those looking for additional luxury, should try to book one of the hotel's much sought-after "Prestige" rooms, with frontal sea view balcony or terrace and Jacuzzi bath.

La Bussola's restaurant is famous for its delicious Neapolitan cuisine, served in the hotel's elegant dining rooms or on the panoramic, sea view, terrace. The hotel's superb food and wine and romantic in and outdoor dining venues make it the perfect location for a dream wedding reception or gala dinner. For small scale business functions and conferences, La Bussola has an attractive, 100 seat meeting room.

Located on the seafront of Amalfi, overlooking the harbor, La Bussola lies within easy walking distance of the town's beautiful little beaches and picturesque historic center. The towns of Atrani and Positano are just a short car or boat ride away. Holidaymakers unwilling to stray far from the comfort of their bedroom, might easily be found soaking up the Mediterranean sun in La Bussola's fourth floor solarium or on the sea edge sundeck, situated on the rocks directly opposite the hotel. Private parking is available for those guests traveling by car.

Misleading room description in website, severe ant infestation, sagging mattress

Hotel is well located, good breakfast - but customer service and upkeep is very poor . -We had booked a comfort room, the website description said ‘balcony with side sea view’. We had no view from the balcony, which led into a terrace facing buildings. After a 10 feet walk, you could see the sea. Manager was rude & did not even acknowledge the fact that the room cannot be described as ‘balcony with side sea view’. No compensation or upgrade was offered for the first evening. - Had another booking of a front sea view room. This one had multiple incidents of severe ant infestation! Even after staff came and sprayed disinfectant, ants came out from behind the bed’s headboard, around the entire frame of the closet and at the desk of the dressing area. - One side of the mattress of the bed was completely sagging. One of us had to sleep on the day bed in the room. Extremely disappointed with our experience. Full payment (non refundable) had been made and we had no option but to suffer the discomfort & stay, but never going back to this hotel .

Un clásico edificio con mucha historia, que fue convertido en un hotel típico de la Costa Amalfitana. Todo el personal fue muy amable y servicial. Y los dueños están siempre cerca, preocupándose para que los huéspedes siempre tengan una linda experiencia. Sin duda volveríamos, la pasamos muy bien !!

Great hotel along the marina at Amalfi

We chose La Bussola originally mainly because it offered stunning scenic views of the harbour and was close to the ferry stop as we intended to travel up and down the coast. It delivered on both these counts, and was a welcoming place to come back to, whether to freshen up after shopping in Amalfi or off the ferry having been exploring. It’s along the marina about five minutes walk from the main square and is a family run hotel. The room we had ( with its balcony facing the sea ) was delightful, not huge but fine with a good shower, and kept spotless by the nice cheerful team of cleaners, with water bottles restocked in the fridge each day. Breakfast was great - plenty of pastries, fruit, cold cuts and a choice of eggs, served up promptly with good coffee. We tried the rooftop bar one evening which was very atmospheric with some innovative cocktails delivered with a flourish (and a slider of eats). We didn’t eat in the hotel restaurant and it seemed empty most nights. A pity but so much competition in the town itself. We will stay here again.
