Pontecagnano Faiano Hotels

friendly atmosphere Drinks a bit expensive

the room and pool were very nice. clean, comfy, new, great sun loungers. if you want a lazy few days, we stayed for 4 nights its a good place, any longer we would of been really bored. they were helpful with bus timetable... although the local buses didnt run on time they still did run. the hotel was in a poor location, however we were aware of this - thanks to the reviews on the site.; nothing local to do or see, no where to go for a walk. hard to enjoy any food, i though the evening restaurant opening times of 8pm to 9pm were not adequate, and the food was overprices and not to a high standard, also breakfast was a dissapointment as the cake was stale , and we kept seeing it put on the buffet day after day.

The actual hotel surrounds are good and the facilities were fine. New plants were being planted when we stayed. Clean rooms, internet facilities, a nice pool (but unfortunately we did not get to use it as it shuts at 7pm). This hotel is completely out of the way if you do not have a car. You then need to solely rely on the public transport. Buses are infrequent (and unreliable - we were left waiting a good hour before a bus came along spoiling our days plans). Allow 20 minutes to reach the train station. We stayed here first week of June, but no restaurants were open on the street, so we were forced to utilise the hotel restaurant on the first night which was overpriced (but the service was good). The location of the hotel is a bit ho-hum: along a strip of high-way that has derelict housing (but not uncommon for south of Italy), overgrown fields, dilapidated shops, and just a feeling of neglect. I would only recommend the hotel if you have your own transport (relying on buses was a nuisance ie, you could not miss the 8:10pm bus from Concordia Place otherwise you were stuck in Salerno itself). We did not realise at the time of booking, and it was not until we sussed out the bus schedule (that we would have to wait for an hour or so before the next bus when we arrived in Salerno), but they can pick you up from the train station if you organise it prior to your arrival.

We liked breakfast best. The buffet had a good variety and we were served fresh fruit beverages with our coffee. The staff at the wellness centre was unhelpful. The facilities were at a standard that we would expect at a three star hotel but not a four star.

Good location( close to station and town) with lovely seaviews from good sized balcony. Comfortable chairs on balcony.Attractive spacious foyer. Large spacious rooms with good sized flat screen TV.Large bathroom and thick good sized towels.Staff pleasant and helpful. Rooms were stark with no extra comforts. No clock/ radio or little extras that you would expect from this category hotel. Large hanging space but few hangers(3) (requested more but never came) No drawer space. Bathroom large but no shelves or space for toliet bags!Tolietries were poor, (little plastic sachets of shampoo,no creams) so did not make you feel inclined to visit spa. Great views in foyer areas but breakfast room was at back with high windows so no view! Breakfast ok but certainly not gourmet!

great location, and the hotel had lovely big, clean rooms. This hotel is not really aimed at tourists. Recpt staff couldn't really help with organising travels around the area. Seemed to have poor local knowledge. This meant that although the building was 4 star, the experience wasn't...

bright room we asked by the internet booking an extra bed for our child, but the reception said their was enough place for the children (3) to sleep in a double bed. A little bit crowdy. We had selected the hotel because they had an indoor swimmingpool. But unfortunatly it was only open between 10-12.30 and 16.30-21.00. We would have liked swimming before breakfast or during the "siesta". Also it was rediculous that only 1 towel was given for the morning and the evening for the swimmingpool.

The hotel staff was very service minded, helpfull and friendly. The restaurant food was tasty. The bed in our junior suite was way too hard. It almost felt like sleeping on a wooden plank. Because of this I woke up several times at night, and it was not good for my neck and back (I'm 26 years old). The location as OK, but we had to take a 20 min taxi ride to the city every night.

breakfast!!! do you expect to make your own bed in a 4 star hotel and have to go to reception 4 times to get sheets, towels, glasses because the phone didn't freaking work!!!!

hotel not 4 stars

good free parking, rooms made clean daily 1) jacuzzi is not a whirpol but just an upgraded tub --> only suitable for 1 person; 2) very far from the centre --> car necessary at all times; 3) booking.com says satellite TV, but no international TV channels (BBC, TVE, CNN,..) are available, only italian channels available and pay films; 4) from half sept approx. the beach and swimming pool close to the hotel (both pay) are closed; 5) breakfast was one of the poorest we experienced in our trip through Italy (bacon and omelete always cold and tasteless), especially when you consider that it's a 4-star hotel; 6) bike rental, as booking.com offers, is not possible at the hotel

The town itself did not have any restaurants other than the odd pizza takeaway.

Staff was nice and helpful. Bathroom was dirty.

The cleanliness of the room and the location to visit Amalfi, Pompei and Naples. The breakfast is poor.

Noisy, inattentive wait staff, I will not stay at this hotel ever again.

I'm annoyed by street noise through window. even though when the window closed.

The room was large and very neat and clean. We struggled to locate the hotel.

They had a nice patio to sit on - but we were not allowed to because it was closed. The view was beautiful, but we did not have our on balcony to sit on to enjoy It's location was about 10 km outside of the nice area of Salerno. The neighborhood was terrible, dirty, with a lot of litter and scary people wandering around. No place to eat close by.

The friendliness of the staff and the location of the hotel. Of course the restaurant is an excellent one. I highly recommend it. It is not suitable for winter stay. The room was heated by air condition which was insufficient.

Visiting Vesuvious and exploring the local area by bike. There was a fantastic, fun and cheap family restaraunt close by called Masseria Della Fontana Vecchia Di Mazza near San Cipriano Picentino. There is no indoor pool, the spa cost €60 per day extra and it was really difficult to find the hotel.
