Hotel Villa Poseidon & Events

Lovely hotel with stunning views over Salerno. Not for the faint hearted if you do t like steps, there approx 450 down the main road, half of tjis coming back is by way of an escalator, if it’s working. Breakfast was lovely around the pool, not a huge selection but enough to start the day off. Staff were really nice and helpful. Pool was lovely although we didn’t use it, but a lazy day could be had there, not sure what you would do for lunch though. About a 40 min walk to the harbour where you can get the ferry over to the Amalfi Coast. If you dont mind a lot of walking then I would def recommend this hotel.

fantastic holiday with my family. we had a reunion from Switzerland and I must say that it is an enchanting place with one of the most beautiful views ever seen before. in the morning we went to the centre of Salerno on foot in two minutes, in the afternoon we were in the pool until sunset with an aperitif in the garden. it is a magical place that we will carry in our hearts because we discovered the true flavour of southern Italy. Thanks to all the staff Alessandra e Federico

There was confusion from the second we got there about our reservation. I found the family member checking us in the be very unfriendly. We felt like an imposition there. It felt rundown. Nothing in the baths were replenished the second morning. My toilet ran constantly. The shower flooded. A guest checked in at midnight next to me and opened the metal awning covering the doors to the balcony waking me up. Traffic started at 6 am. I was so disappointed we cut our stay short.

This Hotel was probably amazing in its day, but that day is long gone. It is in total disrepair and in need of major updating. The staff was friendly. The location is not great, the view is but getting to and from city center is rough. Half of the escalator was not working, straight up.

Very nice B&B with a great view on the harbor and a nice big pool. Careful this location has no restaurant and the a nice but simple breakfast on the terrasse which unfortunately is regularity invaded by wasp and hornets making most people move inside for breakfast. Indeed take a room with view far away from smoking rooms as the others are noisy, too warm and you wouldn’t want to get the smoke in your room when windows are open. Friendly room service leaving all doors from all rooms open for airing during cleaning - so do not leave any personal things as there is no real control on who goes in or out during that time. Wifi connection is not working well anywhere except for the veranda on ground floor and goes on and off regularity. Parking needs to be paid, careful spaces are very narrow and on hill, so doors of neighboring cars can easily damage yours. Even though video surveillance on parking - no use in case of issues. Pool is being shared with non guest people from surrounding against payment, so not really quiet place as some family reunions or even hotel staff gathering with prosecco and loud non stop talking disturbs clearly any possible relaxation at the pool. Even though signs are put up asking not to move the long chairs, they are being passionate for sun-targeting in a way, that you can hardly access pool needing to walk through a labyrinth of chairs, towels, sandals and other before arriving at the stairs to the pool which are transformed by locals into a seating group gathering area - so need to ask several times to being able to access the pool - very uncomfortable. A part from those unfortunate Hotel is clean and location great - careful distance to down-town fast and short, but lots of stairs and a half broken escalator on way up - so recommend using free shuttle service, as walking up so many stairs in summer in the sun is quite a torture. In regards to all these elements, the location is clearly a great place that needs only a few adjustments, but until then it is too expensive for what it is compared to others near by on the hill also enjoying of a hotel but with restaurant and other facilities I trust necessary adjustments will be done as owners seem active and very responsive
