Hotel Canasta

Location: good Room: we booked a seaview room but there wasn't much of a view so regret paying extra money. There is a kind of telephone? or wire hung across our room terrace so that kind of spoiled the view. See photo. The room looked like it was newly painted but the terrace has broken tiles (see photo) and cheap plastic pool chairs which spoiled the look and mood of chilling out at the terrace. I guess because this is an old house converted to a hotel, the walls are thin. One night some women spoke outside and the noise travelled into our room - loud and clear. Breakfast: the same everyday except for the breakfast cake. Not much of a choice. One family with kids were made toasted sandwiches with cheese on the toaster. The next day, I was appalled to see that the toaster was not cleaned - there were bits of bread and cheese stuck on the metal grill. Hmmm not very hygienic. Service: good and if you need anything, they come very quickly.

Awful Experience! Rude and Disrespectful Owners making dirty and outrageous comments on guests appearance. I catch him making awful comments more than once on myself and someone else. I speak fluent Italian and I understood everything he said and I could believe what I was hearing… I was embarrassed for him and I had to cancel the other half of my stay. Over the years I stayed in hundreds of hotels regardless of the star rating and never ever witnessed something like that.. unacceptable behavior. The room. Small, outdated furniture, holes on the walls, uncomfortable mattresses, non working televisions, moldy smell’s. The grounds. Small pool, kids running around diving, no drink service, no lifeguard, cracking deck noise, good view, restaurant staff yelling at each other. Breakfast. The pictures are self explanatory 🤮I noticed the staff buying pastries from a bakery across the street.. and for the guests frozen ones, uncooked raw bacon, indescribable scrambled eggs and the cheapest quality cereal you can find. The quality of coffee and espresso is comparable to instant coffee similar to the one you drink onboard of a plane. The Staff. They hate their job with no training towards making you feel welcome. Location. Little distant from the center but I didn’t mind the hike, walking and the stairs. Additional no Gym, no Spa. Guess what? the owner is there for breakfast every morning watching everyone enjoying his unpleasant behavior. Have fun at Canasta!

Beautiful hotel with an amazing restaurant, in a quiet sunny area with fabulous views….. It was our third stay and we can’t wait to return: the staff are polite and attentive, a wonderful breakfast of the highest quality, quiet and impeccably clean rooms We highly recommend

Gorgeous boutique hotel. The staff were lovely and, in particular, Antonio, Pietro and Roberto. My family and I loved the breakfast, all fresh and very high quality and service from Armando was exceptional. We would highly recommend this hotel!

It’s hard to know the vibe of a Hotel so far away. Sometimes you get lucky. Like we did in Capri. We were greeted by Pietro, owner of Canasta. What a treat, chatting, getting a few ideas for the night. Pietro was discreet about suggesting his restaurant, La Margherita. We strolled around and wound-up having the best meal of our 14 day trip. Par excellence. Giuseppe, Dario, and the rest of the Staff were incredible, making our evening as much fun as it was tasty. Canasta is an excellent hotel; beautiful rooms, pool, grounds. Francesca outlined a perfect day for us after serving us a delicious breakfast. Capri is a beautiful island, hands-down. Our visit there is punctuated and underlined by the Hotel, Staff and Owner. We have to see you all again, our friends:)

Small, well-maintained cozy property just a few blocks away from the main Capritown shopping and piazetta, but worlds apart. So nice to be closeby yet out of the fray. Piero and his team ensure a seamless experience from arrival (with a baggage delivery service from the marina - worth every penny) to departure (with an assist with departure tickets and the return baggage service). We enjoyed and would recommend one of the rooms with the large terraces looking towards the faraglioni. Generous breakfast and don't miss the caprese torte (or any of the tortes) on offer each day. This was the perfect setting to return to after a morning, afternoon, day or evening of exploring. Their Villa Margherita restaurant (in the building immediately next to the hotel) is also superb - we took advantage of the 10% discount for guests for one of the finest meals on our trip (melt-in-your mouth duck breast!)

This was out fifth visit to Canasta. We love this hotel so much. Run by a fabulous, welcoming Italian family headed by Papa Piero and a long standing team. It's incredibly well situated with a fabulous breakfast terrace and magnificent swimming pool. I must add, that Piero in my opinion ,runs the best restaurant on the island, Villa Margherita. Exquisitely prepared food , not to mention the Seafood Risotto and Spaghetti Vongole with a Cantaloupe Tiramisu to end. His staff, from front desk through to the restaurant are superb. We love the team so much, they simply cant do enough. The Reynolds

Very nice and stylish small hotel. Nice decor and vibe. We loved the pool, the views, the breakfast and the exclusive location which was quiet and only a lovely 5min walk from the famous Piazza Umberto. The restaurant Villa Margherita (recommended) is just next to the hotel which has also a very nice bar. We've also been very pleased with their luggage service. They took our baggage when we arrived from the boat and brought it to the hotel and did the same when we left, which was very much appreciated. Although this service is not for free it was well worth it. Like that we could e.g. explore Anacapri after checkout and could go later straight to the boat to leave Capri where our bags safely awaited us.

The hotel is quietly located and enjoy a lovely view of the Faraglioni rocks. Hotel Canasta is very well run by Mr d'EMILIO and his family. The rooms are beautifully decorated and very comfortable. One negative thing which this hotel has in common with many others is that the the doors do not block out the noise from the corridor. Normally this is not a problem since most people are very considerate and return before midnight. The pool and the area around the pool is well maintained. The restaurant Villa Margherita is new to me. Excellent service and very good food however slightly expensive. This is by far my favourite hotel on the island.
