Hotel San Michele

The staff could not have been more kind and helpful. Location was excellent

The bedrooms were very dated especially the bathroom with nasty plastic curtains

Location was handy and suitable for us in Ana Capri. Walking distance to the village, bus stop, chairlift ride etc. The swimming pool was a bonus and the reason we booked the place ~ but we got so preoccupied hiking round the island that we only got to use it once in 3 days! Breakfast is included at this hotel and is always a nice bonus but you never really expect too much but compared to other places we have stayed this trip, the breakfast here was ample! Selection of breads, pastries, yogurt, cereal, fruit, eggs, sausages and bacon - there will be something for everyone to have a nibble to start their day... and also plenty of packaged gluten free options too! They make espresso coffee on request (also included) which was a nice touch. A shuttle is also provided at the hotel to and from the port which is definitely handy as it is located at the top of the hill at Ana Capri which is not walking distance from the port (even though we did it, because we are crazy!).

Don't like that you have to pay for towels and chairs when using the pool at your own hotel if you are a guest. But it's Italy. The hotel would have been grand in its day but it is now tired and run down and the rooms are extremely basic. Every room has a balcony or terrace 'included' but note that for most rooms this is not as fancy as it seems - its basically one large communal balcony which they have partitions sections off outside each room - looks very messy and provides no privacy anyway so the whole hotel would actually look much nicer if they removed all those partitions and just had one lovely large sweeping balcony with nice chairs and tables outside each persons room. It's definitely not a nice space to sit down of an afternoon, with old, dirty and rusty chairs and tables; the front of the hotel and top-back areas of the balcony where there are no partitions are MUCH NICER to while away the morning or evening.
