Il Moro di Hotel in Positano

Disappointing stay: Cleanliness concerns, pests, and an unhelpful response.

Stayed September 2–6, 2025 in a second-floor room.

Housekeeping wasn’t up to standard. Despite requesting service, the top sheet with existing stains remained on the bed throughout our stay.

We also dealt with insects—mosquitos and numerous ants inside the room—and even found a bug in the bed. The likely entry points seemed to be the open-air door vents and a bathroom window that was already open on arrival and not safely reachable to close.

Breakfast hygiene was disappointing: flies repeatedly landed on the buffet (the door was kept open) and I encountered dirty cutlery.

Location: Although not the "fault" of management, please keep in mind that this hotel is located on a dangerous, winding road with NO PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY. We nearly got ran over several times. Additionally, there is heavy stair-climbing required to get from the beach/"main area" to the hotel.

Management’s post-stay response largely denied or minimized what we reported (e.g., saying sheets were changed one day, suggesting pests arrive if guests leave food, and attributing flies to weather). No concession or meaningful remedy was offered, even though I had photos/videos as evidence.

At this price point, I would suggest looking at another property closer to the beach/"main area." More general advice to anyone considering Positano--- if you can't stay closer to the beach, then stay in a neighboring village (like Ravello) and visit Positano for a day. The area is generally overhyped with poor beaches and overpriced tourist traps.
