I think part of my holiday started like an adventure. First of all I had the job of finding Ave Gratia Plena. Okay it was not easy, but that was partly due to the fact that I had arrived in Salerno very late at night. I had to find my way in the dark, but people gave me directions. I... More

It's already a year since visiting here, but I'll still want to review it. The location is quite good, although bit of a walk from the train station. Finding the hostel was also problematic as there are so many narrow alleys around. the setting is nice and my dorm room was clean. It's a big hostel but there were not... More

Friendly staff at reception + best location in Salerno + clean room + italian breakfast = happy customer! If you want a luxurious suite with bathtub and in room entertainment, go somewhere else. If you want a good bed, good shower and value for money, this is the right place for you. You have the historic centre outside your window,... More

In order to limit my lodging expenses, I opted for a hostel: Ave Gratia Plena. This former convent, located in the heart of Salerno, creates a different atmosphere than your usual hotel.

I didn’t plan to stay in Salerno, but on the last minute I decided to go and I chose to stay in this hostel. The hostel is very big, in an old monastery or something. It was very organized and spacious. There are a lot of different types of people staying there, from backpackers to family and Italians. I used... More

I stayed in this hostel for a week from 13th June 2012 with three friends. The location although central in terms of the city is a good 20 minute walk from Salerno station and the main bus terminal. The hostel itself is a beautiful converted convent and what makes it even better is that all floors are accessible via lift... More

I stayed in this hostel last weekend. The location is very central and easily accessible. The building has a wonderful courtyard, where there is also a bar and you can have your breakfast there. The rooms are basic but clean and the bathroom a good size. My room was on the topfloor and i had a lovely view of the... More

Despite great service from the staff and a nice location, the beds were uncomfortable and the wi-fi did not work from the 4th floor. The cost for a double room was very expensive for the lack of these things.
