After 35 hours of travel all I needed was a hot shower and a comfortable bed in a quiet room. Saint Joseph provided both of these. The hotel is built in a "U" shape - balcony for the rooms are on the inside of the "U". Each room gets a view of the beach which is right at the edge of the property. However there is no real privacy on the balconies as everyone is facing each other. I didn't get a chance to use any of the facilities as I simply crashed for the night and left early the next morning. Room was clean and the breakfast was well stocked. I would book again as it was in a convenient location for what I needed at the time, despite it being a few kilometers from the centre of Salerno.

The air conditioning in our room did not seem to work. I turned the setting on to cold but the vent sent out warm air. In the end I turned it off and open the balcony door with the shutters down. It was not ideal but I was too tired to get it sorted by the staff.

The beachfront location was lovely and the communal spaces are very well set out and plentiful. The wooden decks/patios overlooks the beach/ sea and there is a private gate to go down onto the beach. There are plenty of nice seating areas and loungers. The garden areas are very well looked after. The room was spacious and there were plenty of towels and toiletries. It was nice to have a fridge. The breakfast was included in the price and offered the usual continental choices and freshly made coffees. The position of the hotel suited us as we were visiting a relative in the nearby hospital but for some it will be too far out of the centre of Salerno. If this hotel was in the centre it would be a lot more expensive, it is very good value for the seafront position and lovely communal spaces inside and outside.

The room could do with drawers of some sort and more coat hangers. The warm breakfast choices were poor, congealed scrambled egg and undercooked streaky bacon and plain beans.

The rooms are spacious, and very clean (including the linen and towels). The staff was very helpful and friendly. The resort is opposite the sea. In addition, it is about 10/15 minutes' walking distance to a Supermarket (Conad) and restaurants. They also provide internal parking. Breakfast was good and fresh. Upon request, more fresh bread and scrambled eggs were made for us.

Our room had outdoor furniture. However, no cushions were provided to use them. (I did not ask if we could be provided any. Therefore, if I had asked, maybe we would have been given the necessary outdoor cushions.) In addition, we dined at their restaurant twice during our stay. The menu was exactly the same. On our second visit, the variety of food was limited. I also do acknowledge that as a resort, they host events. However, one particular night, the music was slightly loud. Therefore, we could not sleep with the balcony door open.

By the sea but could not go there as it is a private beach, Marina Beach, and full of deck chairs and they charge to go on the beach. Breakfast was good. Room comfortable, aircon good.

Beach charged a fee to go on. Australian beaches are free for anyone to go on. The Marina area was well kept but other areas around hotel are untidy and littered. Littering in Italy is a real problem generally and needs to be seriously addressed, dont seem to care about their surroundings or the environment.

Saint Joseph was a little pleasant surprise . Location might look be a little off , because of the constructions across the street , but once youre in the hotel , the resort feel , the garden , being right on the beach , the restaurants and breakfast , the bar at night , all of them GREAT ! And the staff : two girls in the reception , (don't remember names , scusarmi ) they helped us with recommendation for dinner and even set up an last minute appointment for my wife to do her nails at a salon in town . Loved it! Wish i had more days to enjoy the hotel and Salerno !

being close to the Arechi Stadium

1 or 2 details to be looked at like the toilet flush needed fixing and the wall usb charger that was coming off the wall , the mattress was a bit hard for me but my opinion all the rest was great

The staff at the hotel was friendly and helped us from the get go. Everyone including receptionists, cleaning ladies, restaurant staff was great! Even if the hotel room didn't exactly look like the pictures, we settled in and really enjoyed the hols. The AC in the room is centralised so you can't really regulate the temperature (only the fan speed) but we found it perfect for sleeping with the AC on. The bed and the pillows were confortable and the sheets were changed daily! The rooms are definitely big and the balcony had outdoor furniture so we could chill in the evenings. The breakfast buffet was ok - the basics were there. The territory of the hotel is green and the landscape is beautiful. You can also chill there on the sun-beds and take occasional showers (all functioning outdoor) if you're not going to the beach.

Bear in mind that the place looks a bit different in the pictures. The rooms might use a paint. You will have to pay upon check in, which I found a bit unusual. The hotel does not have their own beach, so you have to pay at the reception to get access to the private beach club. It's probably cheaper than going directly through the beach club, but something to consider setting some budget aside for. The hotel is situated towards the outskirts of Salerno, so best would be to move by car/taxi

The hotel has a beautiful garden and sea view, delicious pastries for breakfast, excellent staff and service. The location of the hotel, on the one hand, is good - quiet, calm, on the other hand, it requires a little more effort if you don't have a car (about 15 minutes on foot from the metro). The hotel has convenient direct access to the paid beach. We are very satisfied with our stay at this hotel.

It's an amazing place. The hotel is close to the beach and has a beautiful garden integrated into the restaurant. The room is large and has a balcony with a marina view. The service is good overall. We met a Brazilian waiter on the team, and she gave us special attention.

The hotel is a bit old, and the room needs some updates. For example, there is no place to dispose of the soap in the shower. Also, there is not a "no disturb plate".

After running around Italy for 2 weeks we came to Salerno to slow down & relax and Saint Joseph Resort was the perfect place to do so. Right on the water with a private beach area (15€ ea for full day - 2 chairs with umbrella). My husband and I just layed by the beach or on our terrace. It is away from downtown but the friendly front staff is more than happy to schedule you a cab. Will definitely return in the future.
