The room itself was similar to pictures, staff were very nice, location was generally pretty good, however there was an issue with cleanliness. Upon arrival we immediately noticed the floors had not been swept, as with cleaning of the walls due to the dead spider smeared on the wall. We also noticed fruit flies immediately when arriving which is strange because we did not have any food with us nor was there in the room. Beware that while staying here you will be woken up early by either other guests nearby or the intense drilling of the auto shop directly below the room. If you like to sleep in, this may not be the place for you. On night 2 we noticed bug bites on our feet, below sock and shoe line, and there were often silverfish on the wall. If you are someone who is afraid of insects or dirt, this may not be the place for you. Although staff were very accommodating and the room and location looked as promise, I personally would not come back due to the circumstances regarding cleanliness.

Our room was nice and clean and conveniently located for walking. There was also an onsite manager to greet us and was available as needed. A pastry and coffee was included at a nearby cafe which was nice. For a city stay this was a good place for us to stay.

We visited this property while visiting for Salerno for a family communion. I reached out to the owner ahead of time to ask about some basics like tissues for the bathroom and some extra sheets (as we have a child). The owner advised me rudely that this was not part of the detail page and is therefore extra. He also threatened to cancal our reservation!

Further, though it stated 'daily housekeeping' on the detail page, it's apparently only done every 3rd day, per communication with him. However in our case, even that didnt get done.

The unit itself is in fact a room with an ensuite inside a flat. It's not an actual B&B in the sense of a hotel atmosphere. When we entered the unit we were instructed to be quiet and not make noise. This made for an uncomfortable experience with a child coming back late every night.

Last but not least, there was was massive, hammering construction noise starting at 8 am from 2 floors up. This wasn't communicated with us ahead of time at all, but yet we received pushback on basic requests. On the days there wasn't construction you will be sure to be awoken by moving furniture at around the same time every morning.

I need to further clarify that 'local breakfast' is in fact just a pastry and coffee at a local neary bar. They were quite friendly but do not think that this will be anything fancy (or even healthy).

Property was conveniently located 12 minutes by walk from the tourist port of Salerno.
Staff greets you during check-in, clean room, spacious with private bathroom. Breakfast that is included is just what you need to start the day, a coffee and a pastry. Would recommend to anyone who doesn’t mind the 12 minute walk to the port.
Great value.

Very clean and comfortable. Good location close to the train station. The host was very helpful and we highly recommend Portafortuna Lucky Charm when staying in Salerno. The only suggestion I would make is that they should have late check in without charging extra since many travellers can’t make it early enough because of the transportation schedules.

The place was very well located within walking distance of the train station, very clean and comfortable. We were very well taken care of and appreciated the communication with our hosts. The only suggestion I would have is to be able to use the elevator to the first floor since we had to carry our luggage downstairs using the stairs. One thing that would be nice to have, is late check in without being charged extra for the service which was the case in this instance since many travellers can’t make it early in the day because of the transportation scheduling which was our case.
Overall we had a very pleasant stay and highly recommend Portafortuna Lucky Charm. Molto grazie!

Great owner but awful live-in maid..

The owner was extremely helpful, giving lots of useful information and answered our questions promptly.
The room was comfortable and the bathroom was modern.
However, when we arrived my wife was disgusted that the floor was unswept, and that there were hairs on the bedding.. she then set about the task of cleaning the room in front of the live-in housemaid which didn’t start our 4 day stay well, after that the housemaid was sour faced and insidious. She never even bothered giving us any coffee capsules until we asked on our last day.

Really a great little B&B. The rooms were very clean, the host extremely friendly, and the cappuccino at the breakfast bar was the best we’ve had in all of Italy. You can tell a lot of love went into this place. Highly recommend for a stopover in Salerno.

Adoramos a estadia! O quarto é bem espaçoso, tudo muito limpo e organizado. A anfitriã foi super gentil e atenciosa, deixou algumas cortesias no quarto como água, café e biscoitinhos. Também recebemos tickets para tomar café da manhã em uma cafeteria próxima, simples, mas muito gostoso (croissant e cappuccino). Ótima experiência!
