We checked into a seaview room. The view from the balcony was spectacular. This is where the good news ends. The room was dated, paint peeling, bed was hard and the bathroon needed a good clean. We arrived back to the hotel on the second afternoon, to find a dirty rag was left on our bench. From then on, we had \"do not disturb\" on our door, as I went over every surface with antiseptic wipes.
The breakfast was pastries, boiled eggs and meat. The room was configured with tables of 8. It was not condusive to a relaxing morning

About 10 minutes walk from the central train station and also 10 mins walk to the ferry terminal where you can get tickets and board boats to various sightseeing ports of Amalfi, Positano, Capri, Etc.
Bus stands also nearby within few minutes walking.
Lots of eateries and stores in 5 minutes walk.

This place was a huge disappointment. When we got there the room was stifling, and we couldn't figure out how to lower the air on the wall-mounted thermostat. There was no information next to the phone on how to contact the main desk, so I gave up and walked downstairs. The guy at the counter said that the room was at 28C which should be acceptable (it is NOT - that's close to 83!) and that the lowest he could take it to was 23 - or about 74 F. So the room temp is controlled by the front desk? Then why is there even a thermostat on the wall in the room? Well, we were leaving that afternoon for dinner in Ravello, and wouldn't be back until late. When we did get back around 11 p.m., it was warmer than ever!! In Italy, when you remove the keycard from the wall, nothing electric works - even the A/C! It was hot and stuffy. I didn't want to deal with the knuckleheads at the front desk again, so we just tried our best to sleep. We were so uncomfortable - finally I had to open the front window, which did allow a bit of cool air in but then we were subjected to the motorcycles racing around, dogs barking, people screaming at each other etc. We barely slept at all that night.
Oh, and they left us two bottles of water on the desk when we got there - nice! So I put them in the fridge. When we got back that night, the bottles were still warm - though plugged in, the mini fridge wasn't working!
What a nightmare. This place needs to be re-classified down from 4 stars to 1.

It's a very large hotel and my \"comfort\" room was spacious with a large balcony. The room was comfortable however for the 3 days I stayed the telephone did not work and seemingly related to that only one English language TV station CNN was available. The breakfast room was enormous and soulless seemingly designed for conferences, all tables seated between 12 to 16 people and not assisted by blinds blocking otherwise lovely views of the coast.

Hotel is a bit outdated. The tub was very very hard to get into. Extremely high. I have a hip problem and could not hardly get my leg over the tub. Those with no problems even had a hard time. We had to put the bench from the room in to be able to sit on it then swing legs over. Would have been funny if it wast sinful. Staff was very rude with only exception being concierge and 1 yes 1 check in girl. Phone was very difficult to hear front desk nor them hear me. Air condition did not work half the time thank goodness it was October. More but those are the big things. Safe broken (Twice) with our money etc inside.

This hotel was a little dated, and my room sort of felt like a hospital room, but it was clean and convenient. I imagine this was a great conference hotel back in the 80s.

But the staff was nice, and the breakfast was good.

The location was excellent but I did get a lot of noise as my room overlooked the alley, and since the hotel is on a main street along the sea, there was a lot of traffic noise. But if i closed the window, it was fine.

Overall, a nice hotel for the price. Great location.

The hotel was fine; old and a little dingy but fine. The biggest problem was the AC. First, it wouldn't work unless your single room key was slotted into a power activator, so it won't run when you're out of the room. Secondly, it turned off after about 5 minutes of running, regardless of temperature. I was waking up almost every 45 minutes at night to turn it back on because of how warm it was getting in the room. We stayed in October,,, i can't imagine in summer. Also, after spending all day out, returning to a room that is so warm your hair gel and lotions are separating is unacceptable.

An outdated hotel

Despite being built early 2000's, the hotel decor is so old fashioned and feels like it was built with a job lot of 90's building material and decor to get done on the cheap. Corridors feels being back to communistic times again from its look and feel (been there have the T-shirt).The standalone room, not a proper description when we ordered as our room was opposite a main line train with trains passing every few minutes which was not mentioned in the room review. After speaking to reception, eventually given an upgrade to a sea view room as our original booking, we didn't have an option to upgrade.
The room we had looked outdated with old decor. Even the bathroom had no standalone shower and was a mix bath with shower attachment and the shower screen was the old plastic handle pull screen which I haven't seen in over 30 years. Bathroom towel rails, radiator and shower caddy all with mild rust. No tea/coffee facilities in the room which all modern hotels nowadays provide at least.
The main dinning area is old fashioned. Breakfast options, slightly limited in my opinion but enough to get you by but enough to get you by but again outdated decor when sitting in the dinning area.
Thankfully only stayed for 2 nights as travelling through. Hotel & rooms were clean. Short walk to the port for the ferry which was ideal. For the money we spent for this hotel, not worth it in my opinion and no way a 4star hotel and more around 3 tops if anything.

I stayed in 7 hotels and this was disappointing. It was £135 which made it one of the most expensive but it was really basic. For the price, there was no pool and it was not value for money. I stayed in hotels for the same price that had a wow factor (to be fair in neighbouring towns)

The hotel is dated but that was not the problem. It is a very basic hotel-eg shampoo with printed labels, no photos etc. Felt like a Travelodge

The area is quite run down but the good thing is it is a 10 mins walk to the old town to eat.
