“Does what it says on the tin.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011

I arrived in Milan quite late in the evening and went to the first affordable-looking hotels on the square in front of the station. This turned out to be full but the receptionist directed me to the Via Vitruvio where, he said, there were many inexpensive hotels.

I tried a few but they were either a bit expensive or full. Got to Salerno and it was both affordable and had a single on the first floor at the front. Another reviewer points out that the trams are noisy. They are. However, I can sleep through anything so didn't regard this as a problem. If you are a light sleeper, it will be.

The room was small but clean. Two single beds. Bathroom contained a wash-basin and shower. A bit cramped but certainly fit for purpose.

What I did find spectacular was the plasma TV and a choice of several hundred TV and radio stations! Not unusual if you're staying at a 5 star hotel but exceptional at the Salerno level.

Breakfast was good. Staff were extremely amiable.

Possibly not the most ideal hotel for business travellers or honeymooners but for the casual gypsy it's good value for money. Not exactly at the pulsating heart of the city but near to a main artery.

Room Tip: Get a room at the back of the hotel.

“Not worth the money”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 July 2011

We stayed at this hotel only for one night and we will surely not return there.
We liked:
- Good location - close to the Central Station (10 minutes walk) and to Lima metro station (5 minutes walk);
- Large and spacious rooms;
- Air conditioning;
- Typical Italian breakfast - coffee, juice and croissants.
We did not like:
- Rooms with street view are extremely noisy - you felt like the tram was going through our room – we didn’t get much sleep;
- Our room was very dark (we could not open the blinds) and the light was just not strong enough – it was like a cave;
- Dirty room, with traces of shoes on the walls (do not think has been whitewashed for years), dampness and mold in the bathroom;
- Old shower, with a lot of limestone ;
- The extra pillows and blankets smelled and the towels did not seem very clean, we had no courage to use them;
- We struggled to lock / unlock the door - it had a bad lock and it did not open entirely - we had to sneak with our bags through a small slit.
We were very disappointed. Do not recommend this hotel for anybody.

I can only rate their reservation service which was very efficient. I did not stay at this hotel. I thought it was a different hotel. Retrospectively, it should have been obvious, but this is NOT the "Albergo Salerno" in Salerno.
http://www.albergosalerno.com/ is in Salerno, and http://www.albergosalerno.it/ is in Milan.

“Clean and close to terminal”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2010

Hotel is only a few blocks from the bus & train terminal. Extremely easy to get to/from. Metro lines are accessible from terminal so makes it easy to get to the Duomo and other tourist attractions. At night the area seems a little seedy as does the specific street of the hotel. Just watch yourself and it seems ok. Down the street is Istanbul Doner Kebab. Not Italian, but is cheaper and better than MickeyD's if you are looking for a quick bit to eat. Quite tasty I thought. Hotel Rooms are pleasant and clean. Don't expect too much but worth the great price I got. There is AC which is great during the humid summer. Make sure they flip the switch downstairs as they turn it off the power to the AC in your room everytime you leave. There is breakfast which is included which consists of a pastry and a drink. The expresso was delicious. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I figured I would try it. Been craving it ever since. There is a nice patio out back to enjoy your drink. My room turned out to be two small twin sized beds, which was fine. Beds were so-so as far as comfort goes, but did the trick for one night as I was tired from the 20+ hours it takes to get from California to Milan. Staff was friendly and helpful. My stay was short, but would stay here again at the right price.
