Our stay at the Hotel La Palma on Capri was a fantastic experience overall. The exceptionally friendly and professional welcome was definitely a highlight. The reception staff were always helpful and very attentive.
We also really liked the beautifully and stylishly furnished rooms. Unfortunately, the first room we were assigned (No. 305) faced a children's playground. The noise from there was audible even through the very well-insulated windows, making it impossible to spend time in the room or on the veranda with the balcony doors open. However, we were very happy with the second room we were given. It was quiet despite being right next to the pool (on the same level).
What we didn't like at all, and what deserves at most two stars, was the (included for us) breakfast and the "service" associated with it.
There was a very small buffet with mostly sweet cakes and pastries. There was also one Italian white bread and one type of dark bread. Yogurt, three jams, and Italian cheese were also available, but the cheese was very strong and not exactly what you'd expect for breakfast. But perhaps that's a matter of personal taste. There was also antipasti and muesli. Everything was the same every day. What we missed was a selection of sausage, ham, and cold cuts. Italy truly offers a wide variety of these.
As we learned, these could be ordered from a menu, but at a considerable extra charge. 🧐 From this menu, you could also choose one hot drink (the teapot was only half full, so it was just one cup). Waffles and egg dishes were free, but bacon was also charged extra at €8.
Unfortunately, the service at breakfast can only be described as incredibly poor. With the exception of one server, everyone seemed to suffer from collective amnesia. Every morning, we had to repeat our orders three or four times because we still hadn't received a hot drink or butter after 20 minutes. Furthermore, numerous orders, such as water, eggs, etc., were delivered completely incorrectly. For a hotel belonging to the Dr. Oetker Collection and operating in this price range, this is unacceptable. This urgently needs improvement.
Nevertheless, this hotel can certainly be recommended. The price-performance ratio isn't really right, but that's due to the location and the island of Capri itself. Nothing here is cheap, but you know that beforehand.
But it's absolutely beautiful and pure entertainment!

My wife and I were exploring and shopping on our day trip to Capri, and we stopped at the Hotel La Palma outdoor patio restaurant for aperitivo, and we were not disappointed. We were tired and parched, but were instantly brought back to life by some strong, but tasty cocktails and aperitivo snacks. Just a short experience for us, but a good one with unbeatable ambience on the streets of the charming Capri.
