Don't be shocked by the ancient rifles crossed as wall decor as you enter the reception; that's just an indication of the quirky air of this little gem facing the Duomo, providing basic rooms with a stunning view since 1934.
The charmingly antique-style rooms—some with carved headboards and mini chandeliers, flip-down desks or creaky old armoires—have ceramic floors to keep things cool, but some of the baths are positively miniscule.
The best rooms, nos. 2–5, are right on the piazza with a full-on view of the Duomo's stair and facade, but these are also the noisiest. Book early for the vie w.
There's a decent, if unexceptional, pizzeria and restaurant on the ground floor.

Planning your time: You could see every official "sight" in the town of Amalfi in 60–90 minutes—though it is a lovely place to relax for a while, maybe take a cappuccino on the piazza overlooking the steps up to the Duomo.
Amalfi also makes an ideal place to spend the night. It has several good restaurants, and the town is just large enough to keep the feeling that there's a bit of local life beyond the tourism, making it a joy to wander (the others—Positano and Ravello especially, may be more postcard-quaint and pretty, but Amalfi feels more real).
Besides, it is the one place on the Amalfi Coast where you have to switch buses—either to return west up the coast toward Postiano and Sorrento, to made a side trip up to pretty Ravello, or to continue east along the coast to Salerno.
