We spent one day and one night at Olimpico on our way from Rome to the South of Italy.

The area is quite grey, showing a lot of signs of absent maintenance and perhaps turists to pay for it. The Olimpico is quite clearly passed its peak, but was nevertheless a very good fit for our needs.

Practical family room with double + bunk beds, perfect for a family if four!

Good sized pool. Not too crowded.

Nice restaurant, open for lunch and dinner.

Disappointing breakfast, but pretty standard as far as Italy goes.

At the price, a very good match for us, and we would be happy to stay here again in the future.

Dear Gustav
Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay with us at the Hotel Olimpico. Your opinion is very important to us.
We do appreciate the compliments about the room and on cuisine at our restaurant, where our chefs put a lot of effort into creating great cuisine for our guests, they have it down to an art and we are proud of our extensive a la carte menu. We also have a pizzeria on premises.
With regard to the streets around us, yes unfortunately you are right, the area is not valued, common issue in all of the south of Italy. I do hope the beauty of our resort and property helped to overcome this problem to some degree.
I trust you had a pleasant trip back and I hope to have the pleasure of warmly welcoming you back for another stay sometime in the future when we can fully satisfy your expectations.
Warmest regards,
Gaetano Serluca
GM

This hotel is a little south of Salerno. It is a great location for families. While it is not close to anything, it offers a free shuttle service. It is a small hotel where the staff remember everything about you. It is big enough that they can offer great services. Also has both a private beach and a pool. The beach is family friendly meaning the guests are all in proper bathing suit attire. Everyone is helpful in making your vacation a success. Only con, rooms are too small for a family of 4.

You cannot fault this hotel or it's wonderful staff...... Genuinely helpful and cannot do enough to make your stay a good one. We felt our room was dark and the hotel upgraded us to a brighter one at no extra cost. The free shuttle bus makes it easy to go in and out of Salerno. We had come from a heavy five days in Rome and found a sanctuary to simply "switch off " in. Pool perfect and never a problem getting a place to sit. Food first class and restaurant is beautifully set out and made dinner feel like an occasion. what a find ! Congratulations one and all. Ps Sandra a bit special and deserves a mention

Room tip: Don't go for the almost subterrainian rooms...although perfect for our teenage boys !

We were a party of 10 and staying in various rooms in the hotel whilst we visited amalfi and pompeii. The shuttle service was anazing and was great if anyone wanted to nip into town. The customer service is really excellent, from the waiters to the reception staff and they really can't do enough for you. The maids are wonderful and so attentive. The rooms overlook the beach and the rooms at the back overlook the mountains.

We really enjoyed our stay and although it was a little out of town it was a short journey on their free shuttle service into Salerno. To top it off they provided the shuttle service at 2am for us at no charge (we paid the driver for be willing to drop us in the middle of the night). If you're looking for a base hotel whilst visiting the Amalfi and surrounding areas you really can't beat this hotel. Plus, the food is amazing. Lovely stay here and would definitley return. Thanks for an amazing trip.

We began our stay at Hotel Olympic with a special (and free) shuttle pick-up at the bus station in Salerno that was arranged by the staff the night before. Laura at the reception welcomed us and provided a room upgrade. The rooms are very nice and well maintained, especially for Italian hotels. The pool is very large and great to sit around all day. Food and bar service at the pool and beach is a pleasure. We tried the on-site tennis courts one day with rackets and 2 balls provided free by the hotel. Balls were very old and didn't bounce much, but otherwise a nice way to be active for an hour or two. Hotel could benefit from a work-out room for those people that just want to hang around the hotel. All the meals were very good, and the wait staff, particularly Loris in the dining room were fantastic. The only negatives are that the hotel is bit out of town (free shuttle available though) and the area near-by the hotel (but not at the hotel itself) was quite dirty. Unfortunately, many people in Southern Italy seem to think throwing litter on the street is acceptable, and there is little in the way of street cleaning and weeding to clean things up.

Room tip: The superior rooms were very bice.

Dear Mrs bhodgins
Thank You for Your review and for Your time! We love taking care of our guests from the arrival.

We pleased that You appreciated the Shuttle Service, we give our guests the possibility to be connected to the most beautiful places of our region such as Naples. Amalfi Coast, Cilento Coast and the nearest centre of Salerno. So, they can move how they want and feel well connected to the city, railway station and touristic harbors. We consider pool and beach as a relaxing area: that's why we enriched with the service of cafè which gives the possibility of lunch. We bought new balls for tennis court. Many. Next time You came, You'll find!!

We give a lot of importance to our kitchen: we improve our Menu every year, to give a dish extended-choice. We have also Baby Menu, high quality Fish and Meat and even a big Pizza variety. If You liked, we're really happy about that. We keep the area around us as clean as possible. Our litter recovering system is so organized, and it's due to institutions' decisions.
We hope to meet You again!!

Best wishes,
Gaetano Serluca, Hotel manager
