Hotel Ancora

Stayed 4 nights and upgraded to sea view and view of coast line well worth the upgrade. Hotel spotlessly clean and all staff were excellent and help us with all our travel requirements to pompei and Capri. Beach opposite which nice but needs litter clearing. Overall a excellent stay.

The difference between a so so stay and a great stay at a hotel is the quality of the staff and the authenticity of the place. Hotel Ancora has the best of both. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The restaurant was great. It is simple but real. The room was lovely with a great balcony and awesome view of the sea. Parking was perfect, the side entrance to the hotel is very convenient. Price can’t be beat. Grazie mille.

Lovely balcony, staff was super kind and helpful. Beach is just opposite the street. Great view on sunset. Breakfast options are also nice. Rooms are clean. Renovation is still on going. But the construction on the road and bridge is already finished. I really enjoyed my staying in Hotel Ancora. Thanks a lot for their hospitality and great service.

I visited Hotel Ancora at the beginning of September with an organised group of about 60 people. After a week there, I have very mixed feelings. - ROOMS : Some people got great rooms with balconies and sea view, and some ended up in rooms whose windows faced a corridor between two parts of the building, with no access to fresh air! Our first room was just like that, plus it smelled terribly of cigarettes. We complained to the receptionist, and at first she said she couldn't do anything about it, but then she found us a different, better room. The hotel is not brand new and you can see it, but we got room service every day and everything was clean. The cleaning staff were very nice. - AREA: The hotel is basically in the middle of nowhere and on a weekday there's nothing happening in the bars and restaurants around. In the evenings the area seemed a bit sketchy. The beach is far from perfect - it's shingle, dirty and the water gets deep very close to the shore, so it's not the safest for swimming. There's a small swimming pool in the neighbouring hotel, but you have to wear a shower cap to use it. I know it's hygenic, but wearing a plastic cap on your head in this heat is not comfortable. Plus, at first they told us that we can use the pool for free, but then they said that you have to pay 3€. -FOOD: There were constant problems with breakfast, there was never enough food. I know it could be because some guests took too much food, but the servers didn't even react when there were no plates left, or the juice containers were empty. Plus, they served us coffee in paper or plastic (!) cups, even though there was china on the coffee machine. However, the dinners were a masterpiece and they made up for the mediocre breakfasts. Two courses plus dessert every day, and it was all delicious. All in all, the hotel has good and bad sides and much of it depends on how lucky you are with the room you get. As a member of a big group from Poland, I often felt that we were second-class guests and didn't get the same treatment as the other guests, for example Italians. Hotel Ancora definitely is not a true 4-star hotel, 3 stars is the maximum it deserves.

Had a lovely stay at Hotel Ancora. The hotel is clean, comfortable, well maintained and good value for money. Staff always very pleasant and helpful, information about transport and surrounding area available from reception, they will also arrange a taxi for you on request. Nothing is too much trouble.|Rooms are spacious and cleaned daily, bed lovely and comfy. Would have liked to have a safe available in the room but used the safe in reception with no issues. |Breakfast was satisfactory, choice a little limited but always found something to eat. We ate dinner at the hotel one rainy evening, lots of choice on the menu at a reasonable price.|Only negative point is the distance from Salerno. Busses run 4 times/day and cost 1.20 euros each way.|All in all we enjoyed our stay and would return. Big thanks to Carla on reception who was always on hand for information. |

I am not really sure what to say about this hotel. I added a lot of photos so decide for yourself. Hotel has great sea view and you can see Amalfi beach in the distance. Rooms are big and nice until you start to look details. Our room 215 was not renovated completely. Around the new balcony doors there was paint missing. Also left side of the balcony doors could be locked but the right side did not even had a lock. Not all electricity sockets were installed. AC did not work. You can see in photos it was just renovated but it did not work. WiFi signal was bad on the one end of the room but on the other side of the room there was no WiFi signal at all... I could go on but I think you got the point. If you do not look at the details the room itself is realy spacious and it had a greeat view. Also breakfast was great and their beach bar is really nice.

It was a nice stay …. Next to the beach (lungomare) surrounded by bars and restaurants but all was closed until the afternoon so u have just to take the car and drive for 20 min to arrive to the city (Salerno) !!! FOR the hygienic part was a disaster , they cleaned the floor of the room one time in my 3 nights of stay and specially with the covid story so ….… The bed and the sheets was so old , and ruined … the pillows were uncomfortable even after I asked for changing it , also the shower needs a lot of work and the rooms are so normal and basic stuff for a hotel 4 stars ?!!? Anyway the restaurant was so good … the waitress are so friendly and helpful. And finally the price was 65€ night and the restaurant also doesn’t go over 19€ for the dishes .

The rooms are airy and comfortable, the restaurant acceptable and the location for touring very good. The beds and showers fine. Also close to a beach. The only thing some people might not like is that the road on which the hotel is situated seems to be the litter capital of Campagna: it is not a picturesque seaside but a strip of lidos which are only concerned with the seaward view and neglect the approach road. So better as a base than necessarily somewhere to spend the whole time.||Staff are also helpful and friendly though if you only speak English there might be occasional problems.
