The owners of Hostel Brikette have created the perfect atmosphere for tourists in Positano. They were super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area, so be sure to ask what to do around Positano, or ask for tips on the bus/train/ferry schedules for the surrounding area. And the bar was fantastic! Peter is a fantastic bartender, and you probably can't... More

Ostello Brikette is a lovely and cheap place to stay in Positano for those on a budget. Italian Cristiana and Brit Peter make excellent hosts, with their well-stocked and very inexpensive bar, and Cristiana is a superb chef, whipping up splendid pasta dinners each evening. The dorm is fine -- it is apt to get a little noisy being adjacent... More

Thanks so much for you kind words. It was great to have a chat with you, and share some travelling experiences - it was great to learn of the places you've been and things you've seen. The basic dorm is, indeed, designed as a cheap option - for those who either sleep soundly and/or are likely to be staying up... More

The staff was extremely knowledgeable and proactively provided assistance to us. After studying in Rome for 4 months, I had not found better mixed drinks and/or drinks that are more affordable than I did at the bar in Brickette. The wife cooks homemade dinner every night (as an option to avoid going to an overpriced restaurant in the area) for... More

Staff very helpful and friendly. They were more than happy to offer advice on where to visit and places to eat. Rooms were fine and clean as were bathrooms. The hostel has a lovely terrace which has an amazing view, perfect for sitting out and relaxing both day and night. Positano itself was a lovely place, admittedly not a great... More

Spring was a beautiful time to visit Positano and Hostel Brikette was a great place to stay. There are amazing views over the town and the bay and the terrace is a great place to sit with a book and a drink from the hostel bar (great prices!). Breakfast is available i tried different items which were all tasty and... More

i advise anyone considering staying in this hostel to change thier minds. It is ridden with bed begs. The day I arrived I felt something was not right when they insisted on searching all bags of newcomers for bed bugs, then on checking in, all beds in all rooms were covered with plastic taped to them. The first night a... More

We maintain links to other hostels, in other parts of Italy. When we hear that bed bugs have been a problem at those hostels, we do begin to work through bags - with guests - on their arrival. One way to prevent bed bugs is to notice that they have been picked up elsewhere (often as eggs). We do wrap... More

Very nice place for backpackers travelling on the Amalfi coast. Clean, decent and a nice terasse. Helpful, young team but matresses are covered with plastic coating, so sleeping is very noisy and not very comfortable (at least in the 8-bed-rooms). But it is ok for one or two nights.

I had read up on this Hostel before hand since I had had some bad experiences at others. From what I read, there were no lockers available and the doors didn't lock. That was completely accurate. I stayed in a 12 person dorm, which gave way on the terrace (very loud at night) and it was a door with shutters... More
