Perched above Marina Grande, the very small Albergo La Prora was an gem of a place to stay. We opted for a standard double room with a sea view and were not disappointed. Excellent price point for a very nice place to stay.
We were in room 20 and were treated to a sweeping view of Capri laid out before us, with the Bay of Naples, Naples itself and Vesuvius in the distance. The tiled balcony had a nice little table and two chairs and there was also a view of Piazetta di Capri/Piazza Umberto I, and you could see the funicular going up and down. There wasn't a time of day that the view was not absolutely beautiful. The doors to the balcony opened two ways - one to get in and out, and another to just let a breeze in.
The room is very simply decorated, a nice bed, a small writing desk, enough electrical plugs, and a wardobe with in-room safe. The tiled floor was cool to the feet, which was nice on a warm day. The bathroom was very clean and had an excellent supply of hot water. The bed was comfortable and positioned for a perfect view out the doors to the balcony.
The provided morning meal was very good and comprised of fresh local fruits, some sweet breads, cakes, cereals, milk and juice. Coffee is prepared fresh for you.
Getting to the hotel is relatively easy from the port. You can either take the funicular, an open air taxi (the choice we made - well worth the 25 euro), or if you are very fit you can hike up to it. The Taxi will drop you off in a small piazza and you only have some stairs to climb. There isn't a way to get to the hotel without climbing at least some stairs.
Being a very small hotel, the check in is very easy and right next to where a very nice breakfast is available. They will also hold your luggage either before or after your reservation is you are there early or want to explore the island more after you checkout and before you have to take the ferry back.

Superb view on Capri, very friendly personnel, the terrasse and the tidiness of the rooms compensates for their small size.
