Minori Palace

This was a great spot to land.... the rooms were clean... right in the heart of Minori, walking distance to many great shops and restaurant, and right down the street from the sea. One of the best pastry shops we found during our entire two weeks, a pharmacy across the street, just in case.

Part of the traditional Minori streetscape, the hotel with its balconies has a lovely position with easy access to all local facilities and the beachfront. Spotlessly clean, with friendly, helpful staff. Our room (308) was very clean and comfortable, however in the bathroom there was an ongoing smell of sewage. Fortunately, this was stopped by the bathroom door from intruding into the bedroom area. The smell seemed to be coming from the drains, and we did smell it along one of the streets while walking so suspect it may be an issue with the local sewage system, rather than the hotel directly. We found our room too warm, and could not work the air-con/heating system. When we checked with reception, we were informed that the system was controlled centrally via reception. Despite the temperature being reduced, our room still felt warm and we felt the air con was not working properly. One night, the lights came on by themselves twice and we realised the following morning when it happened again that it was the result of power cuts, and the heating had reset to a higher a temperature. We left for the day after mentioning to reception about our room feeling too warm, and returned to find a large fan in it which was very effective. The reception and communal lounge/bar area was very nice and welcoming. Breakfast was fresh and sufficient, and staff were very friendly in the restaurant too. Overall, we had a lovely stay despite the couple of issues I’ve mentioned and this was a lovely base for what was a much-enjoyed break. The Path of the Lemons is a stone’s throw away and Minori itself is lovely - quieter and more easy going than the likes of Positano and Amalfi, with a good choice of restaurants and bars and stunning scenery. Thanks for a lovely break!

Our room had apparently been recently renovated. There is extremely limited storage and hanging space with nowhere to place things in the bathroom. Not well thought out at all. No air con in the room, which was very stuffy (and noisy if you left the windows open for ventilation). The rooms overlook one of the main streets in town. Breakfast was underwhelming. Staff were friendly enough.
