Suite 39 Guest House
Suite 39 Guest House"I just spent 3 nights at suite 39, as a solo female traveller in their 30’s I felt very very safe staying there alone. Such a great host who owns this place, very welcoming and helpful. It such a a great room and view from the balcony, coffee and snacks are available in the lobby and the room is stocked as well. There is daily house keeping and the neighborhood is great!! I will definitely return if ever back in Salerno. One note about Salerno that had nothing to do with the property, taxis are...
"Everyone was amazing. We loved the location. Great for shopping and eating out. Beautiful hotel in great shape. We felt very well appreciated. Thank you ."
"Perfect!"
"Super clean room and bedding. Wonderful staff. Stayed four nights and felt like part of their family. Breakfast was great, fresh, healthy and many choices. Location cannot be better for us, early walk to train station, ferry stations. Beach is just two blocks down. We loved this location and hotel so much that we stayed for two more days."
"Breakfast has a lot of choices and was really delicious. Issue with room was resolved promptly. Stayed here twice as it’s hard to beat the value imo! Front desk attendant Linda was super welcoming and kind."
Elegant B&B Il Vicolo storico
Elegant B&B Il Vicolo storico"We loved our stay. Roberto and Francesco were super welcoming and very hospitable! Our room was lovely. One thing to be aware of is that the property does require going up a significant hill with your luggage, as the taxis can’t get all the way up. That was not a problem for us, we loved our stay and highly recommend !!!!"
