Hotel Il Gabbiano Reviews

We loved everything about our stay at Il Gabbiano! We were there for 4 nights had the most wonderful time. The hotel is very clean, all of the staff were warm and welcoming, the room was beautiful, and a delicious breakfast on the balcony every morning was a nice treat. The view and balcony were amazing, the location was perfect (about a 15 minute walk to the beach, with a lot of great restaurants even closer), and the lobby had a nice seating area overlooking the coast- a great spot for a cappuccino or glass of wine/snacks. This was our first time in Positano and the we were so impressed with the hotel and the staff- we will definitely be back and will stay there again!

Unbelievable, we will definitely return to the same hotel. Lovely staff seems to be family run, very well kept and has the magic of Italy. The view from our balcony was amazing, and they brought out breakfast straight to our balcony each morning (very good selection to choose from). Location was great, about 15/20 minute walk to the beach. Also very clean, cannot wait to go back already.

This was a mixed bag of wonderful and not so wonderful. A friend had stayed here and loved it. They didn't get the room we had. We were put in an apartment, floor -4. We had a living room, kitchen and table with a separate bedroom. The patio was wonderful with a fabulous lemon tree over part of it. We ate breakfast outside under it when it wasn't raining. It was brought to us. There was a beautiful view and a sitting area with a better view outside our gate to sit in too. BUT the noise from the private apartment next door ( I'm thinking it was a maintenance employee) was almost too much to take. Snoring, arguing, child, dog yipping was very annoying. We payed a lot of money for this hotel. Before you go check to see if they have booked you in room 24. The staff was wonderful. Nice little common area for drinks and bites.

Great location! I spent a lot of time researching where to stay while in Rome. Having been a student here many years ago, I knew the location I wanted to be in for convenience and accessibility and this hotel met that criteria. It's an easy walk to everything you would want to do and see in Rome and the convenience of restaurants around the hotel was an added bonus. We were on the 5th floor with a terrace. I know other reviews sited the noise level but I didn't find it that noisy. Heck folks, you are in a city, you are going to have street noise. The only negative review would be that the storm windows/door did not go up all the way so we didn't have a good view out the window and we had to duck under to exit to the terrace.

We absolutely loved our stay in Positano. The staff at the hotel were so great and made sure everything was perfect for us everyday. We loved spending time on our balcony and admiring the beautiful view. Breakfast was delightful and served daily in our room right on time. We have such fond memories and so glad we chose this historical family hotel. Thank you again!

Beautful views & great balcony from the room. Slightly older hotel but nice overall for the area within the price range. Breakfast delivered to room was great & very helpful staff. Lots of stairs from beach area but thats Positano as a whole not specific to the hotel.

Hotel il Gabbiano is amazing. I cannot say enough good things. The rooms are beautiful, the common area where the bar is has stunning views, and the staff are so nice and helpful. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!! Thank you

Amazing! Would totally recommend. We stayed at the Room with terrace and jacuzzi and it was an absolute dream. Great staff and breakfast!

We stayed here for our honeymoon and absolutely adored this boutique hotel! Fabulous breakfast. Amazing staff. Beware its a hike to and from the Port of Positano but great way to burn off the pasta, pizza and gelato! Highly recommend this hotel!

I was very hesitant at first about booking here bc of some average reviews, however this turned out to be a lovely place. So happy we stayed at this boutique hotel. Not sure what the other rooms are like, but ours was wonderful, perfect size and the balcony was our favorite.

Great room and breakfast! Lots of stairs to get there but the view is unbelievable!

We loved Hotel Gabbiano!! The location was perfect close to beach and shoppping and great restaurants!! The views from our patio were amazing. This is a family owned and operated property and each family member we met were lovely people!! Highly recommend!!

What a wonderful family-run hotel. Great service all around with clean, spacious rooms. They even deliver breakfast to your room so you can eat out on the balcony overlooking the sea.

The family owned hotel was very welcoming. The mom Lucia and her daughters Monique and Marina were so helpful and lovely to talk to. The apartment we had was private with its own little yard with great views. We had our own lemon tree. Breakfast was brought to us so we had it outside. I would definitely return.
