Hotel Fontana

The location of this hotel couldn't be better. It's right at the main Piazza, just steps from the bus/ship area. We had a room with an ocean view and small balcony and the breeze off the ocean was divine. The breakfast was very typical of Italian breakfasts, with an assortment of pastries, meats, cheeses, fresh fruits, yogurts, and an attempt at an American style breakfast with bacon and some sort of pizza sandwich thing. And coffee, of course. The room was very clean and the small staff was friendly and helpful. I've stayed in 7 different hotels in Italy in several different cities. There are a million to choose from, but this is the first hotel I've stayed in that I can honestly say I would return to.

This was a simple, comfortable hotel in a great location As expected, it was nothing fancy but it was a clean and comfortable room which met our needs for touring the area . It's in a great location, just steps from the ferry port & main transport area and not even a block from the Duomo. If was nice not having to lug our suitcases too far. As advertised, there are 27 steep steps up to front door but once inside, there was an elevator to the other floors. We had a room w/ balcony overlooking the bus/ferry transport as well as the main road through town. We enjoyed watching the police direct traffic which could get crazy at times. We had a window that opened for fresh air but there was no outside noise once shut. Good AC, a firm but comfortable bed, a mini fridge and enough outlets for charging. Small shower but good water pressure & hot water. Breakfast included, nothing fancy but enough pastries, coffee, fruit, and juice served from 8am-10am. The staff was very friendly and helpful and made coffees and tea on request. I thought the accommodation prices were reasonable considering high Amalfi prices during the high tourist season in September. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Location... perfect location on the Amalfi square and directly across from beach/harbor! WONDERFUL We were traveling with 15 year old boys and I felt completely comfortable letting them walk around the town on their own due to the location.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Fontana. You absolutely cannot beat the location, it is right on the Piazza and just across the street from the beach, piers, and main transportation stops. We especially loved that our driver was able to drop us off close to the entrance, and we didn't have to haul our luggage through the town. Surprising, despite the hotel's close proximity to all of these things, our room was very quiet at night. The staff was always very helpful and friendly, and we loved the included breakfast each morning. The room was very spacious and clean and the AC worked great (which we were incredibly thankful for, since we visited in the middle of a heatwave!). I highly recommend this hotel.

Hotel Fontana has the best location in Amalfi. It's right there in the main plaza where the Cathedral is, and the beach front is 1 min away. Breakfast was good with sweet and salty options. The room was comfortable and very clean, however, the AC wasn't working, and there was no way to fix it (it was already nighttime when we noticed it). The hotel was full, so they couldn't offer another room. They should check all rooms every time someone leaves to make sure everything is working for the next guest. No discount was offered.
