Hostel Brikette

A camera in private space was the deal breaker for me. Video attached. I stayed at the Brikette Hostel with my partner for two nights in a private room. The property is very conveniently located. And is less than 5-8mins walk from the popular Christofer columbus street with all the cafes and restaurants. The staff are superb and extremely friendly. The bar is pretty well stocked and the views from the common area and terrace are all breathtaking. The property is maintained extremely clean and we ran into some pretty cool guests during our stay. Janitorial staff are friendly and courteous and do a really good job. No noise at the property after hours so that's awesome too. The prices are some of the best in Positano if not the best. Great value. Cash and cards are accepted. Free Street parking is available about 200 metres away. But you'll be lucky to find car parking for free less than 500m away. So plan accordingly or you can always find paid parking in Positano ( make sure to book in advance). More details are available in the Brikette websites. I didn't see the dorm rooms or have breakfast so I can't comment on that. While I understand that the property owners don't want smoking at the property I think it's worth showing future customers through this review that the property is quite serious about it. So don't be the one to ignore this info on their website / hostel world and then get shocked when you get told off. I don't smoke so i didn't have an issue. That being said. The biggest issue I had with the property and the reason I will not return or ask my friends to avoid this place ( specially the private room ) was the placement of a CCTV camera. In my opinion the balcony in a private room is private space. I don't see why the property would need to have cameras here. Also it's surprising that there is no signage indicating that the balcony is on CCTV. one may argue that this is to ensure people don't smoke in the private balcony. But I don't think this is the way to enforce it. This is a breach of privacy. If a camera is placed one must clearly say that there is a camera

I personally had an amazing experience staying here in positano. Really amazing people I met here. Probably the most friends i made here than any other hostel on my travels. As a solo female traveler i definitely recommend staying here. Really nice staff as well. I originally planned to be here 3 nights, but had no problems extending 2 more evenings by just asking the reception. Thankful to have spent my time here! Thank you Pete for all the help!
