Hotels near State Archives of Salerno, Salerno

Value for money. The check in was a little weird. Also the walls are like paper. One can hear everything. Very clean tho.

Let me start by being positive. The location is fantastic! A few minutes from the train station, about 8 min to the ferry terminal to catch the ferry to explore the Amalfi Coast towns. It is on a pedestrian street with lots of shopping, cafes, restaurants and bars. It would get 5* for location. We stayed in the “family suite” for two weeks. You have to let them know when you are checking in because there isn’t a front desk. Someone comes to let you in. The “suite needs to be refurbished as there were curtains that needed to be replaced. The kitchen was sp****ly equipped. No sharp knife or cutting board. No kettle. Backsplash covered in grease marks. The shower head was on the floor of the shower so we had to tie it with dental floss so we could use two hands to shower. No exhaust fan in bathroom. Bathroom next to the kitchen with about a 12” step to get in it. We did not have daily housekeeping. I wasn’t looking for luxury but this certainly wasn’t as advertised.

The hotel does have a grand-presence on Lungomare. Being an older and spacious property does have it's advantages - like having a wide balcony with chairs to gaze out at the exotic Amalfi coast (photo attached). Though Easter time, we were lucky to have a room with a balcony. Conveniently located in a 10-minute walk the the Salerno station, bus-stop or concordia Pier to reach Amalfi. Room was spacious with large cupboards and a small place to cook-meals. A kettle would have been comfortable in the room. Being Asian, I love my warm water and a morning coffee. Breakfast was tasty with some of the local sweet delicacies like Sfogliatella and Conchiglia. I noticed it was spread in way which reduced food-wastage on the table. However, I missed warm sausages or omlette. Would have also liked vegetable salads and cut fruits. A variety of whole fresh fruits were accessible, but sometimes we get lazy to peel and eat an entire fruit :) Staff were friendly and helpful.

It's far from Salerno city center and there's nothing around. I decided to rent a car and go to a more leisurely place. I was surprised that there was no supermarket or restaurant~ Facilities and breakfast are good <

Avoid at all costs. Caution to those looking to book, there is a hotel panorama and most likely the positive reviews are meant for the hotel, not residence. First, I was told the card couldn’t be processed after successful online booking and that I needed to email my full credit information as the balance remainder on the card was insufficient, despite myself knowing this is not the case. I double checked the card I used and also asked for the last digits of the card. The card was fine, when I told them this they then changed the story to say the card number was just incomplete and again to email the card information. I refused to email and they threatened to cancel the reservation. During July, there were very few available hotels at this point just a few days to check in. So against my better judgement I provided a rarely used card in case of them being a scam and called with the information. Upon arrival at the very old building, they asked for a security deposit of 100 euros. This seems unheard of here in Italy and was discussed also in a very recent review as well. I provided the same card again written on an old fashioned carbon copy paper. When I got the keys to go upstairs they told me there are also stairs as many guests are scared of the elevator. I didn’t know what to say but now that seemed warranted. When I entered the room to lock it, I found the deadbolt to be jammed so that there was no way to internally lock the door. The building is shared use with local apartments. When I let the front desk know the deadbolt did not lock (I am young female alone) they told me first that none of the doors had internal locks. I asked a guest staying there as this seemed simply a lie, which they confirmed their door did lock internally as is a bare minimum feature at hotels to have a deadbolt lock. I note the keys to get in are a physical key rather than electronic. I requested they call maintenance to fix the door, they told me they had already left but they will come in the morning to fix the door. This means they lied that all doors do not lock as they agreed it needed to be fixed. I then informed them I would not be accepting the room and would be leaving. They tried to delay me so much with the same circular talk of they will fix the door in the morning (despite previously saying all doors do not lock internally), they also say they have security at front desk (but there are multiple entrances and no security between local residential floors and guest floors), and later that Italy requires all doors to be non panic and not internally locking (this is false). They will not refund or cancel the multiple night stay and now dispute with credit card company is in progress. Whatever you do, avoid this place. The room was also dirty and couldn’t have been cheaper put together despite the cost of the room.

Ottima accoglienza, chiara spiegazione delle attività. Locali puliti e ben tenuti. Personale gentile, competente e non invadente. Abbiamo usufruito anche di una trattamento per il viso e abbiamo sentito la differenza. Il relax si è sentito eccome e ce lo siamo portati fino a casa. Plauso alle temperature nei vari ambienti: perfette sempre, aspetto da non sottovalutare. Straconsigliato per l’ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.

Great hotel outside of the main Ravello square. Welcome was extremely warm and friendly. Room was ready as we arrived (and we were early). Room was very big and to a good standard. Everything you would need, we also had a balcony room which was lovely. Pool was quiet with a little bar that did a nice lunch, very reasonably priced. The shuttle service to the square was a god send. We were at a wedding and I was able to use the service to head up to the square for a hair appointment and they came back to pick me up. Breakfast room was a little warm but the choice was pretty varied. We only have one criticism…we ordered a taxi to take us to our next stop in Amalfi (a 20 minute trip) and we were charged €70. Which is outrageous!! If you want a hotel with amazing views but a bit out of the tourist area in Ravello, this is perfect.

We arrived on Sunday 22/10/23 with limited expectations, the hotel had a Wedding in progress and this made check in at most casual, initial impressions were ok décor looked traditional and clean, The room 204, that's where it all went down hill, room was small and bland. a small TV hung on the wall, a fridge was in the cupboard below which didn't seem to work and was supposed to be stocked, it wasn't, it was empty, walls were scuffed and could have done with a lick of paint. The bathroom was small and had an over bath shower with usual facilities, the bath needed the sealant replaced around the whole bath, the shower blind was a bit dated and grim the underside of it was not clean. I'm afraid it wasn't inviting, quite the opposite, needed updating. The door to the balcony was new and worked well, when you get outside you see this hotels appeal being 600m Above Sea Level the views are breath-taking. Bed was hard as stone like sleeping on a mortuary slab, not that I've ever done that and i actually slept quite well. my wife however wasn't as pleased, we enquired about a topper at reception, the language barrier did get in the way but we thought we'd got through, alas we didn't get the topper. we had one meal in the hotel which was ok. Breakfast was served on level -1 a large soulless room, normal continental fair ham, cheese, bread, hard boiled eggs some limp lettuce, no cereal to speak of, yogurt tea and American Coffee. Not exactly well presented but ok. my wife is a coeliac(gluten free) and the staff provided gluten free products, on the Wednesday morning and i can only assume that as there were only 5 people in the hotel breakfast was served in the ground floor restaurant, which was better, and had great views, breakfast was served at the table. There was a bar but it was not well stocked or manned. 2x G&T's £8 parking was ok a bit tight but ok. The hotel is in the hamlet of Agerola which has limited restaurants and bars we had drinks at Madame in the square and at the bar across the road when the aforementioned was shut, we had a meal in the next village along, which was also small and only had one or two restaurants that we could find. Not exactly buzzing but very pretty and it was October, also bear in mind the temperature is 3-4 degs lower than the coast, Also it takes about an hour to get to the coast, round some tight bendy mountain roads, if your a nervous driver might not be the place for you. We left a day early and moved to Pompeii as he weather was not good, and we wanted to get nearer to Naples, paid the bill which included a local tax! I'm sure was included on the original booking but i may be wrong, worth watching out for. This hotel is very pretty and traditional the staff are friendly and helpful, it has the potential, to be a good hotel, public rooms are modern and clean but they need a bit of fine tuning, Room/s need modernizing. Overall we had a pleasant stay.

I can't say enough about this hotel, we stayed 3 nights. We had a sea view room it was large and clean. So worth the upgrade...the view was absolutely amazing. The hotel itself was beautiful, it was so hot when we were there and loved the pool. The service was amazing, the owner/manager and all the staff are so helpful and attentive. The breakfast was spectacular! We had lunch twice at the hotel everything was delicious, ingredients right out of their garden. I highly recommend this hotel and hopefully will be back and will stay longer next time!
