Gulf of Salerno 4 Stars Hotels

"I thought I would write this review as all the others seemed strangely off the mark. This hotel is pretty terrible. Reception was ok but upon arrival immediately started trying to upsell to better rooms and early check in which wasn’t pleasant as you are paying a lot for the rooms already. I would class this as a 3stsr hotel, location is very sketchy particularly at night. People loitering the square, police and army everywhere. The hotel is literally 10mins from the train station drop which sounds good but then you need to factor in the Neapolitan driving. Car horns all night every 10seconds, doesn’t stop. Then you are woken up at 8am by cleaners shouting down the halls continuously, banging and moving furniture like it is police raid. The rooms are shocking things coming off the walls, safe doesn’t work, bed like sleeping on a steel plate. We ordered a queen bed and was literally two beds pushed together with a gap. Sheet situation on beds diabolical. Two sheets and a small duvet not inside each other but on top. So when you get into bed the whole thing falls apart. Gym not worth looking at. The photos are very misleading of the quality of this hotel. Don’t get conned look elsewhere. "

"I bought my trip package through Expedia. It was the package that included the Stay + Flight. Everything went smoothly. No problems were encountered through this third party booking company. Hotel Olimpico was a great place to stay for our 14 day trip in Salerno. The hotel is about a 20-25 minute bus ride to the Salerno train station/ city center (shops and restaurants). The hotel does provide free shuttle transportation between April -October to the main center / train station. I was there at the end of March and had to take the bus for about a week until they launched their shuttle service. The Guilano bus charged us in March 1.40 euros per person. And the hotel does provide a timetable if you do need to take the bus in case you can’t make their shuttle. The room we booked was a standard room and it was such a beautiful place. The hotel itself was immaculately clean. Our room had room service everyday and it was great to come back to a nice clean room after a long day of adventures. Breakfast was included and they have a great variety. It was delicious and we enjoyed every bite ! The staff is very attentive and friendly. They are very helpful and they helped out with taxi services, and also helped us with train scheduling. So if you do need any advice they are there to help you ! Don’t hesitate to ask for help. The ladies in the reception area are AMAZING! They’re very knowledgeable. And they make this hotel what it is with their warm smiles and hospitality. "

"Clean room, good breakfast. However, the hotel seems to be a bit outdated. "

"I usually do not take the time to complete reviews, even when I really enjoy the location. In this case, I’m anxious to do so, as the Grand Hotel Capodimonte in Sorrento, Italy, is an amazing place. Probably the cleanest hotel I’ve ever stayed in, which not only includes our room, but the elevator, restaurant, lawns, etc. The location is amazing – you simply walk about 150 yards down the hill and you’re in the heart of the best shopping and dining in the city. Other hotels are on the strip, but they are “too busy”, and the 150 yard walk is worth it. A 10-minute walk to the marina to catch ferries to Pasitano, Alalfi, Capri, etc., and a 15-minute walk to the bus terminal for additional options. The staff could not have been more friendly. Complimentary breakfast was first class all the way. Our plane left super-early from Naples (1.5 hours away), so we had to leave before breakfast was served. The hotel made us a “travel breakfast bag” to eat on the way to the airport. Incredibly thoughtful and much appreciated. One of my finest travel experiences ever. A+++ and highly recommended.

"The hotel was great but beware that if the ferries are cancelled they will still charge you for the room. All ferries from Sorrento were cancelled, so we went to Naples as the hotel told us to and spent the day waiting on ferry after ferry but all were cancelled due to weather. So there was absolutely no way to get to the island but we still had to pay for the hotel room (and another one in Naples). However, once we finally made it the next day, the hotel was lovely and the staff very friendly. "

"The view over the Mediterranean from this hotel is mesmerizing. You are in for a delicious breakfast with lots of varieties if you want to try their restaurant. Just wish if there was an indoor swimming pool. Also, make sure to know about their shuttle bus schedule as there were no signs on the bus and the evening driver wasn’t that tourists friendly. Your only way to Sorrento is the shuttle or local bus ( SITA bus). Otherwise, taxi is a pricy option Rooms are clean, room service is good."
