Sometimes on vacation you have an experience you wish had not happened. Our night at Albergo Sant'Andrea was one of them.||My wife and I spend one evening last month at this hotel on a driving trip in the region. What a disaster. The hotel is on the main square in the town, directly across from the church. So, the location is absolutely central. That is the only good thing about the hotel.||The lock on the door of our room was almost falling off - the screws holding it had been pulled out of the wood until just the end remained. The bed was literally as hard as a piece of plywood and the pillows were almost literally two fat tubes of rubber. Completely unusable. One of the windows did not close all the way and the noise from people partying in the square until the early morning was deafening. It could not have been louder if we had been sitting with them. I'm not sure the bed had bedbugs, but we could feel our skin itching all night. Disgusting.||The people at the desk were very nice and the breakfast was ok (which is to say it was not good compared to every other breakfast we had on the rest of the trip). But nice people and a decent morning meal don't make up for an otherwise a complete and total disaster.||Also, although not the fault of the hotel, Amalfi and that part of the coast is also a disaster. Completely destroyed by unchecked tourism with only overpriced restaurants and t-shirt shops. As an example, my wife paid 10 Euros for a coffee and a tiny pastry. That would normally cost 3 - 4 Euros in the region. A complete rip-off. The landscape, although beautiful from afar, is universally dirty, unmaintained and full of grafitti. Buy a picture and go some place else.
