Hotels near Cement Eclipses, Salerno

Let me start by saying that we ended up here with a Smartbox received as a gift for the whole family. We find ourselves in a quadruple room, with a mattress on the floor and only two single blankets for four people... The two boys await us and receive us kindly... Then, we lost track of them for three days. We are verbally assured of breakfast, as was indicated in the Smartbox. We discover that we have to have breakfast in the bar/grocery shop below. The first morning we go and the gentleman at the bar didn't know anything about it, but he welcomed us with great kindness anyway. Too bad that, not knowing anything, he had very little assor**ent even though it was 9 in the morning. However, breakfast consists of a coffee and a croissant. The next day, Sunday, we were left empty. Bar closed, guys unreachable by phone. Keep this in mind if you end up here on Sunday. I would add that the cleanliness is discreet, but it could be done much better. Balcony unreachable because blocked by a bed. Except for the location, which is undoubtedly convenient for reaching the center on foot and for getting around by car. And except for the availability of making a coffee independently and for free, which alleviated the pain of breakfast for us. The car park mentioned on the site consists of a public car park a few meters away, where it is not certain that you will always be able to find a space. Disappointing experience... They definitely still have a lot of work to do to reach adequate standards.

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.

The Poli Nautica experience ranks amongst my best hotel stays ever & The one I will be coming back to again and again and again! From the enquiry conversations with Simona, to the booking, arrival, stay and continuous beautifull breakfast and overall service. Sara was always prsent in the breakfast alongside her brilliant team serving the most magnificent breakfast and coffees to order - Good ones at that. Enjoying it with tje view of the Amalfi coast ever present, also from my Balcony above where the red sunset repeats itself every day. The hotel is literally on waters edge with great restaurants and real people in the area. Oh did I forget to mention tje 1,5-2 miles bewly sanded veach starting next door. Polo Nautica and the whole experience was just; AMAZING!

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.

The hotel is ok, some weird rules around the pool where you are obligated to wear a cap in order to access it. The safe guard is very persistent on keeping this rule. The restaurant was surprisingly better than expected. It takes about 1.5h to reach amalfi by the car from hotel. Hotel has a parking lot which is def a perk. The rooms were ok and clean.

We booked for our anniversary an used this apartment as a base which is situated high up on the Amalfi hill, not the hotel fault but wanted to make people aware it’s on a dangerous bend the apartment was equipped well however the other inconsiderate residents used the washing machine on the top floor at 4 am. We was based on floor 5 so could hear this none stop. I think people use here as a base the hotel is further down the road an apparently more modern. The restaurants are all in the hotel an nearly £50 for 2 ppl for breakfast is ridiculous priced but this was for a buffet of pasty yogurt an eggs served to your table how you like them. Just felt over priced. Also you can’t use the hotel pool even though it wasn’t at full capacity. They offer a shuttle service to & from the main town €5 each way and can be reached via what’s app service. Some of the staff where pleasant and friendly and some not. I got the impression you have to be a hotel guest to be treated well. As an apartment the bedding was changed once the towels once or pay £12 each day for clean ones even though they are paper thin. Maiori is a small older traditional town in my opinion close enough to catch the ferry to positano / Capri/ Amalfi etc but I wouldn’t return.

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.
