Maiori Hotels with Balcony

Avoid at all costs. Caution to those looking to book, there is a hotel panorama and most likely the positive reviews are meant for the hotel, not residence. First, I was told the card couldn’t be processed after successful online booking and that I needed to email my full credit information as the balance remainder on the card was insufficient, despite myself knowing this is not the case. I double checked the card I used and also asked for the last digits of the card. The card was fine, when I told them this they then changed the story to say the card number was just incomplete and again to email the card information. I refused to email and they threatened to cancel the reservation. During July, there were very few available hotels at this point just a few days to check in. So against my better judgement I provided a rarely used card in case of them being a scam and called with the information. Upon arrival at the very old building, they asked for a security deposit of 100 euros. This seems unheard of here in Italy and was discussed also in a very recent review as well. I provided the same card again written on an old fashioned carbon copy paper. When I got the keys to go upstairs they told me there are also stairs as many guests are scared of the elevator. I didn’t know what to say but now that seemed warranted. When I entered the room to lock it, I found the deadbolt to be jammed so that there was no way to internally lock the door. The building is shared use with local apartments. When I let the front desk know the deadbolt did not lock (I am young female alone) they told me first that none of the doors had internal locks. I asked a guest staying there as this seemed simply a lie, which they confirmed their door did lock internally as is a bare minimum feature at hotels to have a deadbolt lock. I note the keys to get in are a physical key rather than electronic. I requested they call maintenance to fix the door, they told me they had already left but they will come in the morning to fix the door. This means they lied that all doors do not lock as they agreed it needed to be fixed. I then informed them I would not be accepting the room and would be leaving. They tried to delay me so much with the same circular talk of they will fix the door in the morning (despite previously saying all doors do not lock internally), they also say they have security at front desk (but there are multiple entrances and no security between local residential floors and guest floors), and later that Italy requires all doors to be non panic and not internally locking (this is false). They will not refund or cancel the multiple night stay and now dispute with credit card company is in progress. Whatever you do, avoid this place. The room was also dirty and couldn’t have been cheaper put together despite the cost of the room.

We booked for our anniversary an used this apartment as a base which is situated high up on the Amalfi hill, not the hotel fault but wanted to make people aware it’s on a dangerous bend the apartment was equipped well however the other inconsiderate residents used the washing machine on the top floor at 4 am. We was based on floor 5 so could hear this none stop. I think people use here as a base the hotel is further down the road an apparently more modern. The restaurants are all in the hotel an nearly £50 for 2 ppl for breakfast is ridiculous priced but this was for a buffet of pasty yogurt an eggs served to your table how you like them. Just felt over priced. Also you can’t use the hotel pool even though it wasn’t at full capacity. They offer a shuttle service to & from the main town €5 each way and can be reached via what’s app service. Some of the staff where pleasant and friendly and some not. I got the impression you have to be a hotel guest to be treated well. As an apartment the bedding was changed once the towels once or pay £12 each day for clean ones even though they are paper thin. Maiori is a small older traditional town in my opinion close enough to catch the ferry to positano / Capri/ Amalfi etc but I wouldn’t return.

My friend and I had an excellent stay as Casa Mannini! The rooms were quaint- not over the top, but very clean, including the bathroom. Fresh pressed clean sheets every day, which was nice to come home to after a long day out. The B&B was a 2 minute walk to the beach, and so close to many good restaurants. Anna, the owner, was incredibly kind. We saw her every morning, and she was more than happy to book a boat to Capri for us, and even sorted out our airport shuttle on the way back when it got messed up. She was always available to give advice on how to get around, and give recommendations on where to eat. Additionally, the cleaner was very nice and greeted us every morning with a smile. Overall, had a fantastic holiday! Maiori is definitely not as touristy as neighboring towns, and has much more beach space available. Look forward to staying here again next year.

This was our first time in the Amalfi and we were glad we stayed at this hotel in Maiori. Our room was spacious, clean, and had the basic amenities. We enjoyed a spacious patio that had a beautiful view of Maiori and the sea. It was a little cool for the pool but we were content lounging on the chairs with the spectacular view. The front desk staff were always friendly and were always helpful in making recommendations for sightseeing or restaurant recommendations. The views, from our room, pool area, and dining were absolutely breathtaking. It is the views and staff and service that makes this hotel so special. The hotel is located on the edge of a cliff just outside the main area of Maiori BUT it is a short walk to the nearby restaurants and shops. If you do not want to walk, there is a shuttle that will take you to the center of the town or to the port to catch a ferry to the other Amalfi Coast towns. There is a small fee, for the shuttle, which will be added to your room, but as we learned, taxis are rare and very expensive. We ate at the hotel 4 of the 6 nights we stayed at the hotel. If you want a very special experience, we would recommend indulging in their restaurant Oltremare. It is expensive but it is worth every penny. It is best to make reservations as there are only 6 to 7 tables per night. There are 3 different dinner course options to choose from; 4 course, 6 course, or 8 courses. Be prepared to spend about 3 hours enjoying one of the best culinary experiences of your life. The entire wait staff is at your disposal and they are what makes your dining experience ultra special. Each dish is beautifully presented creatively. And the freshest ingredients are used to prepare each delectable course. If you are expecting a traditional course selection with a typical appetizer, salad, main course and etc, then this is not going to be for you. IF you are open to a new flavor pallette AND an intimate culinary experience, then we would highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. There were fireworks almost every night as there was a wedding or an event almost every night. We can see why so many chose to celebrate their wedding here or at The Norman Tower which is just across the street. We tried unsuccessfully to get dinner reservations but there seemed to be an event there every night. We read that the food was also great. We agree with the other reviews that this hotel is a hidden gem. We would love to come back to this hotel in the future! Bob & Cyrena S

My husband and I arrived late for a week's stay and were greeted by a staff member who carried our bags up. We felt very welcome even though it was late. We were shown to our room and the temperature was perfect with a/c. The bed was very comfortable and we also had a beautiful terrace overlooking the coast. Francesco, the Hotel Manager gave us a very warm welcome before breakfast and told us all we needed to know about the hotel and facilities. Yeni and Angela served us for breakfast most mornings and were extremely friendly and nothing was a problem. The pool area is breathtaking with views of the sea and terraces. Our room was cleaned twice a day. What more can I say! This was holiday we will never forget.
