Hostel Brikette is located a very short walk (about 5 minutes) from where the bus lets you off in Positano, which is a tremendous advantage considering the town is built vertically. You don't want to be walking all those stairs with your pack on.
Once inside, there is a lovely terrace overlooking the water, with a wonderful view of the entire town. Complimentary breakfast (croissants with juice, coffee, or tea) are served on the terrace, and folks congregate there in the evenings as well.
There are many dorm rooms, each with about ten beds. However, the hostel never feels crowded. There are seperate bathrooms for men and women. Unfortunately, hot showers are only available for an hour in the morning, and an hour in the evening.
The walk to the beach is about 20 minutes down, and 30 minutes back up. Internet is available in the hostel. Nearby, there is a wonderful resteraunt that serves cheap meals, and even cheaper pizza to go.
Sadly, the hostel has its negatives too. Food and drink are not permitted at any time in the premises, making meals more difficult (and preventing cooking all together). Also, there is lockout from 10am to 4pm.
