Hotel Bussola, while in a safe and clean location, does have some drawbacks, namely the small shower in the bathroom reminiscent of a cruise ship shower, the interior location that requires you to walk about 15 minutes to get to central Anacapri (there is a complimentary pick up service that picks you up halfway from your journey up from Capri to Anacapri via taxi or bus to the hotel and back to the bus stop). Breakfast options are okay, but the room was clean, small bathroom/shower concern aside. Staff was friendly and helpful regarding questions about getting around the area and things to see. Can get tickets for chairlift and boat tour of Capri at discounted rate at front desk if you book through the hotel. At the rate we had booked the hotel room for, it's on the pricier side given the accommodations, you may find better value elsewhere.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We felt this was a great value for level of accommodations. The staff was very kind and helpful. The breakfast was one of the few I really enjoyed in Europe (Americans like protein for breakfast!) Unfortunately there was no outdoor eating area as pictured that I had envisioned but they mentioned there were some things under construction outside that will be open soon. Do know it is a pleasant 7 min walk to town. Also note that it is the high mountainous area of Anacapri which is a long ride down the cliff to any beach areas. This would not have changed our choice but we would have gone to the beach the first day before checking in if we would have known. The taxis are quite expensive to get anywhere and uncharge you for breathing. Great place, stay here. Eat, sleep and be merry!

The owners were very nice and helpful in making plans. They even called and made sure our plans were arranged properly. We had dinner reservations and they confirmed our pickup. We also had a private boat tour around Capri scheduled and they called the company to make sure they didn’t waste our time sitting for two hours waiting to get into the blue grotto. The breakfast was a smaller selection but it’s also a smaller place. They made our cappuccinos fresh instead of using a self service machine. And, they didn’t charge us extra for the breakfast like some places did. The room was decent. The bathroom was small but serviceable. Since the hotel is in Anacapri the streets are very, very small. The taxis won’t go all the way to the hotel because they can’t fit down the street. The owner sent a driver to get us from a meeting point. It is walkable to the town center and to a meeting point. The taxi ride to Capri is a bit expensive but necessary because it it definitely not walkeable as it’s straight up a mountain.

Trip to Capri

The hotel staff were super friendly & nice. The location was fairly far from the Ferry & long walk from the taxi drop. Rooms were not good, shower was terrible, shower head was all blocked & was the worst showering experience. But hotel staff were super nice, they helped with our luggage on check out to help us do the gondola & brought our luggage to us once we were done to help us get to ferry on time.
