Minori Palace

POSITIVES: Comfortable hard bed, efficient air con*, great location. NEGATIVES: Breakfast was pretty basic. Inside bedroom wardrobe flooring very dusty. Bathroom was very tired with chrome work rusted and or damaged. Dusty on tile edges and light fittings. Shelves not fitted entirely to the wall, all areas need a deep clean to remove limescale and fresh silicone good really make a difference. Minimal storage space and hangers, no drawer space at all. *Whilst the Air Con unit was efficient, it shone a bright digital reading when on, lighting the whole room thorough out the night. We ended up covering the light with small clothing in order to darken the room to sleep.

Part of the traditional Minori streetscape, the hotel with its balconies has a lovely position with easy access to all local facilities and the beachfront. Spotlessly clean, with friendly, helpful staff. Our room (308) was very clean and comfortable, however in the bathroom there was an ongoing smell of sewage. Fortunately, this was stopped by the bathroom door from intruding into the bedroom area. The smell seemed to be coming from the drains, and we did smell it along one of the streets while walking so suspect it may be an issue with the local sewage system, rather than the hotel directly. We found our room too warm, and could not work the air-con/heating system. When we checked with reception, we were informed that the system was controlled centrally via reception. Despite the temperature being reduced, our room still felt warm and we felt the air con was not working properly. One night, the lights came on by themselves twice and we realised the following morning when it happened again that it was the result of power cuts, and the heating had reset to a higher a temperature. We left for the day after mentioning to reception about our room feeling too warm, and returned to find a large fan in it which was very effective. The reception and communal lounge/bar area was very nice and welcoming. Breakfast was fresh and sufficient, and staff were very friendly in the restaurant too. Overall, we had a lovely stay despite the couple of issues I’ve mentioned and this was a lovely base for what was a much-enjoyed break. The Path of the Lemons is a stone’s throw away and Minori itself is lovely - quieter and more easy going than the likes of Positano and Amalfi, with a good choice of restaurants and bars and stunning scenery. Thanks for a lovely break!

Spent a week at the Minori Palace and it was excellent. Room was fairly basic, but kept spotlessly clean and everything worked as it should. Nice to have a balcony too. The breakfast was pretty decent with a reasonable range of foods and there was definitely plenty of it, so certainly enough to keep you going for the remainder of the day. The staff were excellent; nothing was ever too much trouble and they were all extremely friendly and helpful. Overall we'd highly recommend staying at the Minori Palace
