I enjoyed my 5 night stay very much . My room was large with large bathroom . Plenty of storage space .Easy to communicate with host via WhatsApp. Everyone was so friendly. Easy to walk to from the train station with my 2 large cases , via a nice pedestrian shopping/cafe street . Plenty of wonderful places to eat , drink, snack and shop within a few minutes walk . Easy to explore this wonderful city by walking. Wish I could have stayed longer .

The Hotel canceled our reservation when we arrived at 7pm at night. We had to find another hotel at the last minute. We were booked for 5 days. Experian will not refund our money. Experian say it’s the owner. The owner says it’s Experian. So, we are out our money. Service is terrible.
I never stayed here, we were informed while we were still on the train that the Hotel has collapsed which ruined our plans. As an owner, you should be maintaining your place to ensure things like these don’t happen as it shows your disregard for other people’s life so no I don’t feel bad. I still haven’t received my refund that I was informed will be refunded 72 hours later.

Extremely loud location - could not sleep
The gentleman at the desk was kind and helpful but the room was so loud I did not sleep the entire night. The streets are loud and it sounded like there were people dragging chains down the street every ten minutes - it was a very disturbing noise. The energy in there is also very strange. It is a cold and very clinical place with the absolute bare minimum: basic bed, thin towels and a bar of soap and a sachet of shampoo. The shower head is directly over the head so you can’t really shower without getting your entire head wet. I could understand this being a €20 a night 2 star motel but absolutely not a hotel running at over €100 a night. Don’t stay here if you need a good night’s sleep and want to feel comfortable.
Clean, convenient to the train station, shopping and the historic district. Very nice breakfast, included. The hosts were very helpful with our stay and with suggesting activities. Salerno is a perfect location for exploring Amalfi.
The brothers are super nice!! Salerno is very good base camp to travel around the Amalfi coast. You can reach by a ferry in 30-45 mins and the terminal/train station is very close to the hotel. Plenty of restaurants. To Napoli by train, only 45 mins.

Well located, but a bit difficult to find with lots of one way streets! Ask hotel for parking close by at special rate. Walking distance to Vitoria street with restaurants and shops. Three street from the boardwalk near the sea. Giuseppe was great with full of informations and great breakfast.
The hotel is located close to the train station and ferry terminal which is very convenient. It's clean and looks like it was recently renovated.
We had the first room, which is called the Salerno, and unfortunately it wasn't a good experience because it is so close to the lobby and the kitchen. We could hear everything that was going on, all guests coming in and out, phone calls, etc.
The hosts are a bit overcrowding which we didn't enjoy. They force some information on you which could be good for someone who doesn't know much about the city and need suggestions.
I don't think I would stay here again.
The owners are two brothers who are very friendly. They gave us info on some local restaurants.
The 'hotel' is in a great location - perhaps 4 blocks west of the train station, easy walk east to the ferry (to Amalfi and Positano), and not too far from the old town (west).
Very clean. Great breakfast - I'm going to post photos!
Good size room - especially the bathroom.
We had two walls with windows. One side with a balcony - it was amazing that the street noise was cut in half when the window was shut and was cut to nearly no noise when the 'shutter' was closed.
We were very impressed by the cleanliness service breakfast and hospitality of the owners. They did a great job and we felt comfortable there. We didn't like leaving lol.
Il Reticolo was great! Perfect location to explore Salerno, near the train and the main streets. The bed was very comfortable, breakfast was lovely, and the owners/hosts were wonderful. Very communicative and helpful.
This BnB was in a quite area very close to everything we need such as the ferry terminal, train station and shops. Guissepie recommend lovely places to eat and his brother kindly helped us down the stairs with our suitcases. There is a lift in the building but be aware there are 12 steps to reach it if you have heavy luggage. We didn’t have breakfast on either day as we needed to leave early. We were offered coupons to use at a local bakery but we didn’t require them. The brothers are very friendly and fixed the problem we had with no hot water on our first day straight away.
The service was great, the family who runs it were all super helpful and made us feel very welcomed and cared for. The room was amazing, shower was something you see in those super expensive hotels, super roomy and beutiful. Perfect location too, 4 minute walk to the beach and close to anywhere you need to go in town. If we're ever back in Salerno this is definitely where we'll stay.
We just concluded our Italy trip and this was by far our favorite B&B that we stayed in. It was steps away from everything including the ferry which allows you travel to multiple locations without having to drive. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly and the room was very clean and spacious. The breakfast was always fresh and well presented and there were no limitations. Very much enjoyed our stay here and definitely would not hesitate to go back.
Absolutely brilliant B&B. The brothers are so friendly and helpful, the breakfast was great, it's clean and tastefully decorated, and the location is perfect. Couldn't fault it and would highly recommend Il Reticolo to anyone visiting the Amalfi area.
Wonderful little place in a conveniently located and beautifully restored apartment building. Service was incredible even though we arrived a bit late and breakfast was amazing! Wish we had more time in Salerno, so will be back and will definitely stay here when we are. Oh, and loved the shower!
