“Looks good on web but not in reality”

1st impression was good, but as the days passed by lots of little thing came to the fore. No matter what time you go down for breakfast there is always slim pickings, this wasn't helped by the 4 Thai girls who took bread, pastries etc, and even topped up their flasks and stuffed it all in the backpacks to save cash on lunch. The mattresses are rock hard, and although we had a nice view from the window (room 6) the private bathroom was an annoyance, especially with late night loo trips. The bar was a disappointment as they had lost the key to the spirits cabinet, this meant you had the option of beer or water. The outside courtyard is awful, untidy garden area and the sun loungers are dirty, mouldy and full of dead leaves absolutely no daily maintenance... very uninviting. The staff are helpful (if you're lucky enough to have one of the girls on duty, the guys...well everything seems a bit of a chore for them). The cleaning staff from Sri Lanka were great, happy to chat and very polite. Basically this B&B tries to punch above it's weight with regards to services and should stick to getting the basics right first. Oh and on reading the guest book on departure one guest reported having €50 stolen so beware as it's a place people could just come and wander round in and no one would be any the wiser!

“Best hotel in Sorrento”

I can't speak highly enough about this hotel. The rooms and shared bathroom were immaculately clean and extremely quiet, the breakfast was excellent, the location of the hotel is in a high rent neighborhood, a the room even had a view of the Gulf of Naples.

“Very nice.”

I stayed here for 6 nights. It was very comfortable. Town centre and Sorrento are all within walking distance. Lovely views of the sea. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

“Recommed but with a few reservations.”

Myself and four friends stayed at this hotels for five nights in mid-October 2010. The hotel was a mixture of old and new (it is a converted monastery and has a lovely atmosphere with high ceilings and interesting features which set it apart from the more modern hotels. We enjoyed our stay at Domus Porto Salvo Hotel and have recommended it to friends who are keen to try it for themselves. However, a few things to note. There is no lift in the hotel, so anyone with limited mobility may find it challenging to stay there. There is a steep flight of stairs up to the first floor where the bedrooms are located. Also, not all rooms have private facilites (our bathroom was just across the hallway and so not a problem for us). However, one big no no for us was the fact that the towels provided by the hotel was very thin, small and not changed during the time we stayed there, even though half way through the week I did request clean towels they were not provided. San Agnelo itself is about a ten minute walk from the hotel. It has a good sized supermarket, bars and shops where you can purchase the all important tickets for the local buses into Sorrento. The town also has a train station which is convenient and easy to use. It has also has a small market on Mondays with some good bargins! The hotel is located in a quiet neighbourhood and has lovely views over the bay of Sorrento. However, there are several bars and cafes within easy walking distance.

“Won't stay anywhere else on the coast”

The hotel was just right for what we needed. Room was small but sufficient. The staff was extremely helpful and the free internet was also great!

“You get what you pay for!!”

If you want 4* luxury this is not the hotel for you. However if you want a basic clean room in a central location with extremely friendly and helpful staff then you will not do any better than Domus Porto Salvo. If you are travelling on a budget then this is the place for you, a plain but filling breakfast, 15 mins walk to local train station which goes to most tourist attractions, and about 25mins walk into Sorrento. This is an old building in need of a facelift but don't be put off as its kept extremely clean (the cleaning lady likes her bleach!)

“Reasonable but no more”

Recently stayed in this hotel with my wife; was fairly disappointed when we arrived, as it claims to be 3*, but is effectively a hostel. It was clean, and staff were friendly, plus you got a reasonable breakfast. Quite close to the beach, but a fair walk to Sorrento or Sant Agnello town centre. Beware if you love Italian Food too - there were a lot of local restaurants (including the vastly overrated Moonlight) but the quality was merely average UK Italian, and cost a lot more - UK chains like Strada, Prezzo etc. give far better quality for less! Biggest problem though was noise, don't stay here if you are in any way sensitive to it. There is a local bar called the Garden bar right near the hotel, and it's effectively a nightclub which is fairly open and very noisy; the hotel is near a nice view, which appears to be a hangout for the local youths and courting couples too. As a result, it was very noisy outside until at least midnight every night. If you were very tired and the window was shut, it wasn't too bad - in high season when you have the window open, it would have been utterly unbearable - bear that in mind!!

“good value for price but some limitations to be aware of”

the place is good value for the price so some of the basics are not there e.g. tea/ coffee making facility in room. This can be purchased in high season from bar but not otherwise such as when we were there 20 minute walk from Sant Angello train station, 25 minute walk to Sorrento, there are buses 5 minutes away (must buy ticket before getting on to bus which is hard as need to find right Tabac shops before you can use bus) and taxi will cost a lot euros to Sorrento Good continental breakfast, and very helpful lead receptionist, free internet in the common living area. Limited places to eat near by... And there are two entrances to the property. If green gate is closed probably like us on the wrong side of the block and need to walk around to the other side to get in.

“Great location, Great service- friendly staff”

We stayed here to travel along the amalfi coast and it was a great base. The hotel is lovely and clean, great staff, internet access and very cultural.
