Residenza Sole Amalfi

We had a very great time, the place is charming, with a warm welcoming and staff. The terrace is really beautiful and you can have your breakfast on it, really nice breakfast according to Italian standard. The room was clean, we really enjoyed it. Location is great, near the center but still quiet. Be aware you have to climb some stairs to get there, not so many stairs, but still.

Absolutely avoid at all costs. Not only was the property in complete disgust the staff are barely in existence except when they come to put the breakfast spread on in the tiny corridors (not worth eating anything!) the shower was rusted and didn’t work complained to staff - nothing was done to rectify. No soap holder, shower leaked through whole room, not even tissues supplied and the worst part was the super old stained towels supplied. I would use them as rags. I paid a ridiculous amount of money for 2 rooms and gifted the other party in our group. I am so embarrassed I stayed there and felt robbed. Nothing good about the property except they have wifi.

I was traveling with my 83 year old father and booked a night at Residenza Sole. After climbing the very steeps steps up to the building we already saw people waiting outside the building frustrated that there was nobody there. We waited a long time and tried to get in touch with the owner, the pincode for the door didn’t function . When she finally arrived she wasn’t very friendly and we had a bad feeling about the place. We asked if we could see the room and the answer was no, first she wants two passports or she wont show the room. It was a strange situation because she put the key to the room in the door and opened it and with the other hand demanded the passports. We decided not to stay there. I asked if she was going to charge us anyway and the answer was that its just a booking there will be no charge. Of course the next day the full amount was charged by Residenza Sole. I have decided to use *********** only to find hotels but not to book or pay in advance anymore. Rooms are hardly ever fully booked and its better to get a first feeling of the place and its people. *********** still tries to make you believe rooms are almost fully booked but i saw from experience this is never the case. Avoid Residenza Sole.
