Castello di Cisterna Vacations from $597

This hotel is comfortable and clean. The reception and breakfast staff were very helpful and friendly. The location is very near the central train station. While our room was spacious and comfortable, the door to an adjoining suite allowed so much noise - we could hear the neighbours as if they were in our room. Additionally, we were given a mini-bar price list, but no actual fridge in the room. They also have a rule of not bringing any food back to your room! The safe also did not work. There was a split of AC/heat, a large closet and desk. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast started at 8am. It consisted of very tasty pastries, yoghurt, and cereal in a nicely decorated room by reception. I would recommend the hotel as a clean, comfortable place to stay but definitely minimalist. And perhaps other rooms are better sound-proofed than ours was...

Transportation to downtown limited but hotel is clean and comfortable

My wife and I stayed for 12 nights at this hotel to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. The hospitality started before we departed as we received an email a week earlier with a warm welcome and hotel instructions which are important because it is in a small town without big city facilities. We arrived late at night and since the restaurant was closed, the personnel offered complimentary finger food and a nice drink. Our room and all the common accesses in the hotel were impeccably clean and orderly. The equipment is modern (LED TV, Nespresso machine, climate control, exterior retractable awning…). The staff is very attentive and proactive to the guests’ needs (our car was turned around each time in the parking lot, cappuccino is served at breakfast without asking…). There are more subtle details that made our stay pleasant and without problems. There was a road blockage due to a fallen rock off a cliff and we were not able to go to the west of Praiano (Amalfi, Atrani, Ravello….the best part of Amalfi Coast) by car or bus. Suela, the owner, was very helpful in arranging alternate transport by shuttle, taxi and ferry. The wonderful staff made the difference in our sojourn and rendered it even more memorable. This is a family run hotel and the people are passionate and love what they do. We also loved the charm of Praiano and felt welcomed by the residents in the shops, or meeting them along the paths and steep staircases. . The locals made us feel like we belonged here.

All excellent except for the temporary ongoing renovations in the area

Perfect location..close to beach, square, ferry and Vespa rentals. We had issues flushing the toilet but the location and friendly staff was perfecto!
