Positano with Friends
Overview
Travelling with friends is easier when everyone agrees what they are booking. At Hostel Brikette, compare the actual booking units, occupancy, bathrooms and privacy before you choose a room.
A group booking does not automatically make a dorm private or guarantee that every bed is together. Use the room description for the selected dates, then ask reception about any request that the published information does not answer.

Dorm beds, a private double or an apartment?
Check the current room page for bed count, bathroom type, terrace or view and permitted occupancy. The private double is not a multi-bed group room, and selecting several dorm beds does not turn that dorm into an exclusive booking.
| Choice | What it means | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Dorm beds | One bed per person in a shared room; bathroom arrangements depend on the selected dorm | Friends comfortable sharing with other guests |
| Private double | One double bed for two people, with an ensuite bathroom | Two people happy to share a double bed who want their own bedroom |
| Apartment | A separate unit with a kitchen and two bathrooms; check the permitted party size and sleeping layout | Friends whose group fits the published apartment details |
Can friends stay in the same room?
If you need friends to be together, contact reception before booking via the help page or at reception, and explain the group size, dates and preferred room type. Ask what process applies to separate reservations and whether the requested arrangement can be confirmed.
Specific bunk assignments are not guaranteed. A booking for beds in the same dorm is therefore different from a promise that friends will have neighbouring bunks or a private room. Keep the published occupancy and bathroom arrangement in mind when you compare options.
If the same-room process is not confirmed, treat it as a request rather than a booking condition. Do not assume a group buyout or exclusive use is available.
Practical details for a friends trip
Dorm guests must be aged 18–45. Confirm private-room eligibility directly if a traveller is outside the dorm range.
Brikette is on the upper road near Chiesa Nuova. The entrance has stairs, and ferry arrivals reach the waterfront below. Plan the uphill approach with bags, and read the Chiesa Nuova arrival guide and luggage-storage guide before travelling.
Friends who book separately should keep their confirmation details and ask reception early about any shared-room request. Do not rely on a message in a group chat as proof that a room, bed position or occupancy has been confirmed.
A simple booking decision
Choose dorm beds when shared accommodation suits everyone and the room's published occupancy works for your party. Choose the private double when two people want their own bedroom. Consider the apartment only when your group fits its current permitted occupancy and reception confirms any question about the arrangement.
Then compare the selected dates, room facilities and final rate at the rooms page. If the answer depends on co-location, occupancy or an apartment arrangement, ask reception before making separate bookings.
Evenings: decide how the group can split comfortably
Not everybody needs to stay out for the same length of time. Agree a meeting point, how anyone leaving earlier will return and what costs are shared. A “we will work it out later” arrangement can leave somebody paying for transport they did not expect or feeling obliged to continue.
For a view-led bar visit, check the actual policy. Franco's Bar, for example, operates first-come, first-served and describes seasonal, weather-dependent opening. A particular table or immediate entry should not be assumed. [R07-8]
For a club, use the venue's official date and ticket information. Do not build the budget around a historical admission price or assume every evening has the same programme. [R07-9]
You can also choose a meal, dessert or a quiet final evening. Calling it a girls' trip does not require a particular level of partying, luxury spending or matching outfits.
Tips
- Agree whether everyone is comfortable sharing with other guests.
- Compare the selected room's beds, bathroom and occupancy.
- Ask reception before booking if co-location matters.
- Treat bunk position as unassigned unless reception confirms otherwise.
- Plan stairs and luggage from the waterfront.
FAQs
Can four friends book a dorm as a private room?
No assumption should be made. Dorm beds are in a shared room unless the published product explicitly says otherwise. Ask reception about the current process before booking.
Can we choose our bunks?
Specific bunk assignments are not guaranteed. You may state a preference, but treat it as a request unless reception confirms an arrangement.
Can friends book separately and stay together?
Ask reception before booking with your dates, names and preferred room. Separate bookings do not by themselves guarantee co-location.
What age policy applies to dorms?
Dorm guests must be aged 18–45. Contact reception to confirm eligibility for a private room if a traveller falls outside that range.
