I'm suprised to see several negative comments about this hostel. I went to Positano for my oldest son's wedding last April and I stayed at this hostel. It was the highlight of my entire adventure in Italy. Although I originally booked a womens Dorm room, I "upgraded" to a private bedroom and bathroom for about $20.00 extra/night and it was... more

My family of 5, 3 adults and 2 children went on our trip of a lifetime. We got to Positano to check in to the private Apartment with a room across. The hotel had our reservation wrong. But gave us 2 sea terrace rooms. Immed. we noticed a strong sulfur smell from the bathroom coming from the toilet and shower.... more

Yes, it's a cheaper option in a notoriously expensive area of the world, but does that really need to come at the expense of hygiene and security? This hostel has no locks on the dorm doors and no lockers to put your possessions in. A key card system or a simple lock with a key would have stopped the drunk... more

For our stay in Positano in June 2007, I wanted budget accomodation, but didn't want to stay in a dorm room. I booked the Ostello Brikette on the recommendation of a friend who said to make sure we stay in the room with a private bathroom and terrace. That particular room wasn't available, however the room next to it was,... more

My boyfriend and I stayed in this hostel during May 2007. We booked, over the internet, a private room, thinking we were getting a great deal for such an expensive destination. Upon arriving, we were greeted by Christina (the owner) and the filth of reception. After confirming we were staying for 3 nights, she asked us to follow her to... more

Brikette is a wonderful place to stay. This was the 2nd time we've stayed here and we bought our parents who also absolutely adored it. Cristiana is hilarious and we loved her, her dog is beautiful and the other staff were very sweet. The drinks are cheap and it's wonderful to get delicious coffee and a croissant in the morning.... more

My friend and I stayed in this hotel/hostel for 3 nights in June 2006 in a Double Room with a shared bathroom and our overall experience was pleasant. One thing however must be said, the dorms (i.e. shared rooms), should be avoided at all costs. While they are cheaper- you will DEFINETLY regret not paying the extra 10-15 Euros a... more

An amazing view, friendly staff!, personal touch, going the extra mile whenever possibly, and an adorable puppy! Firstly - I stayed at the hostel twice over my year long trip around the world. I have seen my fair share of amazing hostels and crap holes in the wall! Brikette manages to find the way of making you feel at home... more

My friend and I stayed in one of their seaview private rooms for 2 nights in July. It is quite a journey to get to this place so 2 days was definitely not enough, especially since you need to check out the Island of Capri. Anyways although the room was small, we had a gorgeous view, met a lot of... more

Careful with Hostel Brikette, especially the owner During 30 days of travelling in Italy, hostel brikette was definitely the worst stay. Me and my girlfriend booked a room with a double bed. When we arrived we were assigned a room with two single beds insted of the double bed . The other doublue rooms looked okay, But for our room... more
