Hotel berhampiran Festival Salerno Letteratura, Salerno

We highly recommend and would stay again. Room: The room was adequately sized, especially for being in the city. The bed itself was extremely comfortable and I really enjoyed the large balcony. Our room faced the street and we found it to be quiet during the day and/or night. An Italian breakfast is provided in the room daily and there was a mini fridge with water. Location: The property is a few minute walk to the main walking street where there are bars, restaurants, and shops. This street can take you to the train station in one direction and the historical center in the other. The property is also within walking distance to the ferry and the beach. We are avid walkers, but I would say nothing took longer than 10 minutes to get to. My only caution would be that there is a small incline when walking to the property from the south. Hospitality: The highlight of our stay was the hospitality. The host promptly met us when we arrived earlier than planned. Maid service was done daily even when we said it wasn’t necessary if they felt uncomfortable due to Covid. We also left behind a bag of cords by accident and remembered a week later. We contacted the property and the host promptly replied and set up a day and time to meet so we could pick it up. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

convenient location on corso vittorio emanuele so right in the center of everything but pretty poor service from everyone we encountered except the young woman staffing the front desk on the day of our departure. she should be promoted to train *everyone* (especially the insolent loud mouthed male staff who spent their time mansplainin') in the hotel on what it means to have good customer service. a good hotel experience starts with a positive customer experience when you get to the hotel. my first complaint would be that the hotel doesn't provide good directions on how you are actually allowed to pull your car in front of the hotel on a street that is closed to traffic. anyone with experience driving in italy is well aware of the risks of driving a rental car in a ”forbidden zone” and that is what corso VE looked like to us. by comparison, our hotel in Matera where we headed after salerno emailed us explicit directions on driving to the hotel through Matera's restricted zones. when i arrived in the lobby to check in i got some (lousy) directions to a parking building they use (didn't use it-found public parking 5 minutes away). after insolent 20 something (dark haired boy with glasses as i recall) told me the checkout time was 10.30, i asked if we could get it extended to 11 or 11.30. a flat no. ok. then i went to grab the luggage rack to bring our stuff in from the car. check in guy says i can't use it! i think he sent someone to ”use it for me”. anyway, once we get into the room (a triple as i recall), it is very warm in there and we turn on the a/c. only it doesn't seem to be working. we call down to the front desk ”oh, yes, we need to turn it on for you” so even though you have an a/c conrol, everything is actually controlled from the front desk (we had a similar problem the next morning and i think we got one of the owners-short, older gentleman who sleeps in the hotel!-to call down to get the a/c running again and he had to call multiple times). the next morning as we headed to breakfast (marginal but a good coffeemaker for espresso) there was some management guy pontificating to a younger person about many things with lot's of ”che cazzo's” (yes, anglo's other than me who speak italian and lived in salerno for two years do understand this). how do i know he was associated with the hotel: because earlier when i was about to go running, he asked me ”may i help you/posso aiutarti” as i headed for the public bathroom to use it before my run, as if i didn't belong there. anyway, the woman at the desk that morning told us that a later checkout was not a problem, and was a breath of fresh air compared to the knuckleheads we encountered up until then. there were other minor issues with the room that needed attention like ripped wallpaper and chipped tiles but the overwhelming negative was the attitude of the staff except for the young woman who actually knew what she was doing. i would not stay here again until the staff get better train

We had a wonderful stay at the Holiday Guesthouse and highly recommend it. The location was ideal: ~10 min from the train station and ~10 to the port. It was also just a few blocks to the main shopping and dining areas. Our rooms were clean and very nice. The bathroom was spacious. Showers were hot, and the room and bathroom had nice large windows that opened for fresh air. The rooms had a/c but it was not necessary to use. Breakfast prepared by Angela was wonderful. There were many foods to choose from including yogurt, fruit, cereals, pastries, meat and cheese, and Angela will cook fresh eggs. Coffee was lovely as well. For those with large luggage or mobility issues, please note that there are stairs at the entrance and the rooms are one flight up stairs. Angela was a wonderful and helpful host. We enjoyed chatting with her and having her recommendations and advice. We are glad to have been able to stay here and would return.

After lots of research we decided to make salerno as a base to explore amalfi coast and capri, and we r happy that we stayed here. Direct fast train from Rome [sorrento doesn't]..hotel being just Opposite to railway station. Easy to reach. We booked 1 double room and 1 single room for our family of 3. Rooms r clean, AC works great, normal size bathroom ,good hot water,supermarket nearby, walking distance to port and beach. Taxi stand just opposite to hotel, and main bus stop also just in front. We took ferry to capri (2 ports for ferry, LNG ferry 1.5 km away, 10 euro for taxi )and for amalfi town we took SITA bus 24 hour pass 10 euro per person and we started with amalfi, ravello and reached Positano and return. Easy to catch bus ,and just in 10 euro pp we completed our amalfi coast . Excellent location.and no noise in rooms, breakfast is great, fresh bakery and fruits every day. Staff is cheerful and extra helping. Best of all our hotels in Italy. Though rating is 3 star it is Actually better then msny 4 star hotels. Kudos to family management

Travelling from Sicilia to Milan by train we needed an overnight stop as it all couldn’t be done in one day (unless using a sleeper train!🚆). Salerno seemed to be a good midway point so after a bit of research this hotel 🏨 was booked. On arrival at Salerno Station 🚉, we took the elevator down and literally stepped out the station into the hotel lobby, it’s that close. We had a friendly chap on reception who checked us in and assisted us with our luggage to our room. We were allocated Room 203! This was a spacious clean room with a modern en-suite bathroom perfect for our stay. Considering you are right next to a station, you really didn’t hear a lot apart from a few sirens and horns and rumbles when trains 🚆 were passing. 8 hours of decent sleep 💤 was had.. how can you fault that? Breakfast was a simple affair but there were fresh Cornetto in different flavours which were delicious 😋. It’s a ‘buffet’ so it’s help yourself and the little lady on reception in the morning was doing a grand job keeping everything topped up and tables cleared. Overall an excellent stay! If you are travelling by train, this is an ideal place to stay. The hotel is located well within reach of the main town and the coast is a few steps away. Plenty box ticking with this hotel.. 🏨

Das hotel ist an perfekter Lage mit super Panorama über den Hafen von Salerno und Küste. Leider war der Spa geschlossen, saisonbedingt! Die Zimmer sind groß und sauber, im superior Zimmer hatte es sogar zwei Nasszelle, eine mit Dusche das zweite mit Badewanne…… Woll verstanden beide mit Toilette…..

Very comfortable stay. Nice, clean room certainly no complaints in that respect. Location is outside of the centre of Salerno, however a half-hourly train can be caught 5 minutes walk away from the hotel, which gets u into Salerno in 15 minutes, and u can be at the tourist ferry terminal in 25 minutes. A small number of restaurants around and a supermarket is 2 minutes away. Breakfast was very basic but was sufficient enough. Not too bad for the price point and definitely cheaper than Amalfi Coast, but the easy access to Amalfi Coast made it worth the stay.

Ottimo soggiorno, con parcheggio gratuito, piscina e una piccola palestra, personale cortese, istruito e disponibile per qualsiasi cosa! Consiglio a tutti.
