Interesting place, driving/parking a challenge.

Hostel basic but interesting, but driving/parking the car was a challenge. The experience was improved when the receptionist recommended a lovely restaurant nearby.

Great atmosphere

The hostel had a great social atmosphere. Was immediately offered a free drink and plate of pasta upon arrival, and played a game of Jenga with fellow visitors, before even checking in. The rooms were modern and large. The staff were a bit slow and seemed slightly overwhelmed but otherwise it was a great experience.

Lots of character with great value

This is the first time my family and I have ever stayed in a hostel, and Ostello Ave Gratia Plena was a pleasant surprise. The hostel is in a great location, about 15 minute walk from the train station and 2-5 min walk to shopping, SITA bus stop to Amalfi Coast as well as a number of great and inexpensive places to eat (we especially loved Arepa's for quick, tasty meals). What made this hostel truly special, however, was the staff. Everyone was friendly, knowledgable, super helpful and spoke fluent English. The staff went out of their way to ensure we had all the information we needed to make our day trips successful. Rooms aren't huge, but are more than adequate (we stayed in a private family accommodation - a room with 4 beds and its' own, private bathroom). The room, just like the rest of the hotel was spotless and well maintained. I would not hesitate to stay in this hotel again if I ever return to Salerno.

Good standard for hostel

You get what you pay for at this hostel. The rooms are basic but clean. The bed is not very comfortable and you can hear noisy people in the corridors. The shower drain doesn't work very well. But for the money you pay and to get your own room in a hostel it's good value. The staff are very friendly and pleasant.

An amazingly, comfortable and economic place.

Considering the cost for a double room with extra bed if required. Proximity to beach, just a very short pleasant stroll. Fantastic views of the sea and the ancient town, over 700 years old, from the communal balcony. The fact that the continental breakfast was very good with plenty of choice and included in the extremely reasonable price. The pleasant communal areas. The helpfulness of the concierge staff. All in all, we thought, this 'hostel' was fantastic value for money and a great place to stay. We were very lucky and thanks to the kindness of the staff and manager we were able to park our car just outside the hostel, which was very convenient, but we were lucky there isn't a great deal of parking space available, so if you arrive with a car expect that you may have to park a few streets away. The bar may not be available out of the main holiday season.

Comfortable bed - great value for money

Very comfortable bed and great hot water - and pressure - in shower. Neighborhood is safe and convenient, but loud until late. No air conditioning, if that is important to you. The staff is first rate and very helpful. Rather spartan, but it IS a hostel! Very good value for money.

Best Hostel in Salerno!

The staff was very helpful, one woman in particular because she had excellent English. The hostel is in the Old City, which is a 30 min (with heavy pack) walk from the train station and the streets can get a little tough to navigate if you don't come up from the main street, but that's not their fault. We had a lovely private room with a great view of the Piazza in front of the hostel and the church next door. The staff was very friendly helping is find a place to eat, a beach to go, scenic walks and even called a taxi for us the morning we left.

Very nice building, good location, great staff

It is important to remeber that is an Ostello. I went with my family of four. It is an historic building very well restaured. The staff is great, very good breakfast and in very good location. Please ask to the concierge about it secret: "Il Ducca". Just two blocks from there, the best pizza I ever had (And very cheap).

Within your Comfort Zone

Delightful quiet overnight in this converted convent. A dozen students also stopping over here, well mannered and pleasant. View from our room of the city was breathtaking, breakfast pleasant, and the neighborhood intriguing. Dinner at a nearby restaurant recommended by the pleasant night clerk (from Argentina!) included an accomplished guitarist. Couldn't have been more pleased by our stay.

Very central youth hostel, in old part of Salerno

Hostel was not sufficiently clearly signed on outside of building. Receptionist spoke very good English and was extremely pleasant and helpful. Room, a double with ensuite, and bed were lovely and very clean and modern, although building is a very old but charming convent. Bathroom toilet cistern leaked constantly and brilliant shower but flooded bathroom a bit. Additional bar in courtyard at night was lovely. Breakfast was a very good selection.
