Hotels Near Church of Saint Mary of the Announcement in Salerno

Very clean, comfortable hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff. Special mention to housekeeping staff who were so accommodating, room serviced as soon as we left to go out. Beds extremely comfortable, with extra pillows and duvets provided. Bathroom large, with a walk-in shower. Excellent location in the town centre and a few minutes walk to the train station. Cathedral and churches well worth a walk down to see, and plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby. Breakfast at the hotel was a little meagre, but not unusual for Italy. Wish we had brushed up on the Italian language, not many English speakers in Salerno, but that was our fault and will take lessons before returning! All in all, we had a lovely stay at this hotel and would definitely go back.

Let me start by saying that we ended up here with a Smartbox received as a gift for the whole family. We find ourselves in a quadruple room, with a mattress on the floor and only two single blankets for four people... The two boys await us and receive us kindly... Then, we lost track of them for three days. We are verbally assured of breakfast, as was indicated in the Smartbox. We discover that we have to have breakfast in the bar/grocery shop below. The first morning we go and the gentleman at the bar didn't know anything about it, but he welcomed us with great kindness anyway. Too bad that, not knowing anything, he had very little assor**ent even though it was 9 in the morning. However, breakfast consists of a coffee and a croissant. The next day, Sunday, we were left empty. Bar closed, guys unreachable by phone. Keep this in mind if you end up here on Sunday. I would add that the cleanliness is discreet, but it could be done much better. Balcony unreachable because blocked by a bed. Except for the location, which is undoubtedly convenient for reaching the center on foot and for getting around by car. And except for the availability of making a coffee independently and for free, which alleviated the pain of breakfast for us. The car park mentioned on the site consists of a public car park a few meters away, where it is not certain that you will always be able to find a space. Disappointing experience... They definitely still have a lot of work to do to reach adequate standards.

The hotel does have a grand-presence on Lungomare. Being an older and spacious property does have it's advantages - like having a wide balcony with chairs to gaze out at the exotic Amalfi coast (photo attached). Though Easter time, we were lucky to have a room with a balcony. Conveniently located in a 10-minute walk the the Salerno station, bus-stop or concordia Pier to reach Amalfi. Room was spacious with large cupboards and a small place to cook-meals. A kettle would have been comfortable in the room. Being Asian, I love my warm water and a morning coffee. Breakfast was tasty with some of the local sweet delicacies like Sfogliatella and Conchiglia. I noticed it was spread in way which reduced food-wastage on the table. However, I missed warm sausages or omlette. Would have also liked vegetable salads and cut fruits. A variety of whole fresh fruits were accessible, but sometimes we get lazy to peel and eat an entire fruit :) Staff were friendly and helpful.

The negative reviews on here debate whether this is a 5 star resort or not. This is subjective and depends where you have stayed in your past. We live in the US. We have lived in Shanghai for many years and traveled extensively around that region. The resorts there are truly 5 star. Some of the best in the world. Even compared to the US. However, traveling throughout Europe there are different standards. This region is older and steeped in history which is the allure of visiting. Having said that I Hotel Raito is a 5 star resort. The service is outstanding from the front desk to the dining room and even maintenance and then the pool. The pool is fantastic! Very relaxing and the views! The dining at their restaurant in the evenings were great. We stayed in room 120 which is at the front of the hotel overlooking the entrance from the parking lot. My guess not the most desirable room. My wife and I were fine with it as it was clean and had a balcony overlooking Vietri and the sea. We are very positive people so that helps with our experiences and outlook. I could go on and on. Come stay at Hotel Raito and explore and fall in love with the Amalfi Coast!

Very comfortable stay. Nice, clean room certainly no complaints in that respect. Location is outside of the centre of Salerno, however a half-hourly train can be caught 5 minutes walk away from the hotel, which gets u into Salerno in 15 minutes, and u can be at the tourist ferry terminal in 25 minutes. A small number of restaurants around and a supermarket is 2 minutes away. Breakfast was very basic but was sufficient enough. Not too bad for the price point and definitely cheaper than Amalfi Coast, but the easy access to Amalfi Coast made it worth the stay.

The hotel is ok, some weird rules around the pool where you are obligated to wear a cap in order to access it. The safe guard is very persistent on keeping this rule. The restaurant was surprisingly better than expected. It takes about 1.5h to reach amalfi by the car from hotel. Hotel has a parking lot which is def a perk. The rooms were ok and clean.

Ottima accoglienza, chiara spiegazione delle attività. Locali puliti e ben tenuti. Personale gentile, competente e non invadente. Abbiamo usufruito anche di una trattamento per il viso e abbiamo sentito la differenza. Il relax si è sentito eccome e ce lo siamo portati fino a casa. Plauso alle temperature nei vari ambienti: perfette sempre, aspetto da non sottovalutare. Straconsigliato per l’ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.

We stayed here for 3 nights and enjoyed our stay here and the place as well was nice in Atrani. It is only a 10 min walk to Amalfi. The rooms were of a decent size and bathrooms weren't too bad either, providing you with the standard shower gels and hair/body washes, along with a hair dryer that was slightly better than the average hairdryers that barely dry. Our first night we had a hiccup - we were asleep and the fire alarm in our room went off! We do not smoke and had no electricals in - we still aren't sure what happened. It went off several times and the hotel staff apologised when we went down to complain. We still are not sure why it went off, and this was not since mentioned by any member of staff - not even a note or acknowledgement about our sleep being disrupted, which we were really disappointed about. Thankfully it was just the one night and it must have been a faulty alarm, however we were disappointed that nobody checked on us the next couple of days of our stay and didn't apologise for the inconvenience. Breakfast buffet had a nice selection of mostly cold foods and some hot items too, and we were able to request our coffee of choosing i.e. cappuccinos. A lovely selection of food to fill yourself on. It took us over an hour to find the place which was very tiring and stressful! Essentially do not follow google maps, When you find the route it is so straightforward. You need to go down to the beach level and you will come across a restaurant with ”Palme” in the name. To the left of there is a small archway with a sign to the hotel - you just follow up the stairs. That is the only place that has the hotel sign posted. The hotel also has a spa with sauna etc however we were told it was an extra 80 euros to access the spa, so we decided against it. Overall, the hotel was nice, decent food, decent room sizes and nice staff.
