This is a beautiful hotel. The views from the room and the hotel, in general, are stunning. Everyone from the front desk people, to the wait staff, the housekeepers, and the shuttle drivers were all extremely, nice, helpful, and professional. The hotel pool, and the views from the pool, are also amazing.

Amalfi town is beautiful, historic but a bit chaotic and crowded. The Grand Excelsior is a peaceful respite well above the town built into the cliffs. The hotel has the best views in all of the Amalfi Coast. The architecture and decor are very charming and almost a time capsule for 1950's Mediterranean elegance. We loved the friendly staff and the restaurant and bar were very good and all we needed. The highlight for us was the private elevator built into the cliffs taking you down to the private beach. Amazing.

This hotel is gorgeous. Amazing location with an extremely convenient shuttle service. The shuttle brings you directly to town and to their gorgeous private beach. The entire staff works like a well oiled machine. What a beautiful stay. I’d heavily recommend this hotel.

Fantastic hotel, views over Amalfi were stunning. Shuttle bus to take you into town ran hourly which was great to get in and out of the centre. Beach was lovely, with snack bar and drinks. Pool had views to die for and was lovely and relaxing. Staff were fantastic throughout, gave us plenty of restaurant recommendations and ever one was absolutely amazing we didn’t think they’d be able to top it! Can’t wait to visit again!

The resort was beautiful and the views were even better. Our room was spacious with a wonderful balcony that overlooked the town and the sea. Food was very good. The staff and drivers were wonderful, very convenient to have a shuttle back and forth to the city center and private beach! The private beach was lovely and very relaxing and had food and drinks served daily, was one of our favorite things about the resort. We definitely would come back here again.

My wife liked this property more than I. The hotel was built in 1835 but has only been updated to circa 1960, and in some places, it shows. We were there off season and pool was empty which detracted from the overall look of the property. Big room was sparsely furnished but opened onto unforgettable deck overlooking Amalfi coast from a higher elevation than in town. So yes, the surroundings are spectacular but the hotel isn’t keeping up. Shuttle is wonderful (and necessary) as a way to get to town and back. Great staff and great breakfast. Solid 4 stars for a less expensive place to stay in Amalfi.
