Mec Paestum Hotel

Hotel was great. Especially the hot tub. Clean and comfortable. Wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Well we didn’t expect the Hotel to be so far from Naples. But after arriving at Naples we was glad it was. We got the Train from Naples Central to Paestum which took just over a hour. After arriving there we found we was in the middle of nowhere, after a 15 minute walk we ended up in a world heritage site of the oldest Greek Temples in Italy which was nice, we found a great cheap local Restaurant where we eat and drink a gallon of red wine for €25 and called a cab to our Hotel €10 for 5min drive. We was pleasantly surprised when we arrived the Hotel was Top class Unfortunately we was given the only room without a Balcony stuck on the corner but we didn’t complain as the Room was nice but the Shower didn’t work properly €60 a night for two with a continental breakfast included which was lovely so hay ho you get what you pay for. Not a lot to do outside the hotel but we managed to find a couple of little restaurants and a small bar all very basic and cheap too. Overall we enjoyed our stay which was designed as just a break for us. The Sun Deck with the Jacuzzi was a hit. Would we go back, yes for another cheap break and Hopefully the weather would be a bit better next time as it was early May and it rained for a couple of days. We loved the Hotel.

Very nice hotel , a little bit in the middle of nowhere , very noisy in the morning but good stay overall!

Was originally put in a very small dark room with broken door, had to complain to get moved. Shower was in a cupboard ! Very poor first impressions. The room we moved to was better but certainly not 5*. There was no tea/coffee making facilities, no hotel information so didn't know what was where. Safe didn't work ! Not even a 'do not disturb' notice. Walls are very thin and you can hear conversations around you. Breakfast was usual Continental style but only 1 very small hot dish with scambled egg or dried bacon. Hotel was hired out several nights for 2 weddings and a Christening so was taken over. Absolutely nothing on the beach so can't even get a drink or something to eat. Very disappointing and very isolated with nothing opened in the village/town. We hired a car which was a godsend to get out of the place ! We acknowledge it was out of season, but there is nothing opened in early May around you. We have stayed in much better 3-4* hotels. Would definitely Not recommend this hotel or Town.

.Front desk never smile or even welcomes you. The surrounding of the hotel is a ghost town.

Mec Paestum is a beautiful property and reasonably close (we walked) to the Greek temples. Our room was not large (like many Americans, I find Italian rooms rather small; think New York, but not as bad as Tokyo), but it was roomy enough, very clean, modern, great sea view,and nice bathroom. Hotel staff was outstanding, and a special compliment to Tina at reception who was charming and spoke excellent English. A minority of reviews knock this hotel for catering to loud wedding parties. This was not our experience, we had a positive, pleasant, and luxurious experience (March 2018). That said, the hotel does appear to be designed around large events like weddings, same as you'll find in Aruba or similar. So the hotel should be criticized for hosting a wedding? They should shut down a wedding reception because one guest complains about noise? Sorry, that does not sound reasonable. Take some self responsibility people, put in ear plugs. I get that some people will have a more restrained expectation of a bucolic, mild, quiet, peaceful experience.... maybe you'll have that experience at Mec Paestum (we in fact did) and maybe you'll be there during a wedding party, but blaming the hotel is unreasonable and reflects generally on a churlish reviewer. If concerned about potentially unmet expectations, act intelligently and call or email Mec Paestum ahead and simply ask if a wedding is booked during your planned dates. Again, more self responsibility, less blaming others ....

This hotel is a convention center/wedding venue with a hotel attached. There is a lot of space for reception and hotel guests use a dining room in the basement which is fine but not great. The room was very nice but it was noisy at night because they had some party going on. The two nights I stayed they had different weddings going on. The hotel is 2 blocks from the beach so there is no beach view.

This hotel is very modern and bright. The room was decent size and very clean. The bathroom was fine except there was a clear glass door separating the toilet/shower from the sink which was a little odd. The caliber of the hotel staff was hit and miss. For example, the doorman/valet was fabulous. The front desk staff were fine. Luca, the bartender upstairs by the pool, was great. The bartenders at the downstairs bar couldn't have been less sociable. We ate in the hotel restaurant and the food was delicious but the experience was a little weird. The restaurant was not busy so the restaurant staff just stood to the side looking/hovering for something to do.

The hotel was beautiful and comfortable. The decor was sleek modern and fun. The hot tub and pool look great. it is very near the roman ruins in Paestum. staying longer would have been nice. The breakfast was delicious and featured local products like breads and cheeses.

Lovely contemporary hotel with nice rooms with distant view of Capri and Amalfi coast. Great rates at time we stayed in Oct. 2014. Nice place if visiting the Greek ruins at Paestum.
