Minihotel IRIS

Salvatore - wonderful host !

The airco, the housing, and the hosts.

Nothing really

The owners were hospitable and took great care of us.

Its a bit far away from the beaches and travellers need to have a car. Public transport sometimes is bad.

Overall, my stay at Minihotel IRIS was great. Salvatore is a fantastic host, and despite language barriers (my lack of Italian, his lack of English) he was very helpful and just generally great to be around. The room was nice as well, the bed was comfortable, the A/C worked, and it was very clean. The breakfast was also nice (croissant, bun, yogurt, juice, coffee/tea/cappuccino of choice). Salvatore also gave me a restaurant recommendation on my first night, and helped me reserve a Capri day trip.

Before staying here make sure you really understand where it is. It’s about 2 km down to the ocean, and further if you want to catch a ferry in the port. It’s an easy walk, and it’s as advertised, but after a long day walking around the Amalfi Coast towns, it can be inconvenient. There are also local busses you can take if you like. The only part of my stay that wasn’t great was the checkout process (unfortunately as that was my last impression!) I was charged daily “rent” for using the mini fridge in the room (which apparently is disclosed on the minibar menu, but when you don’t use the minibar you don’t tend to read the price list…) which just felt like I was being nickel and dimed. Vincenzo also didn’t clearly communicate what he was doing/charging, and after telling me they hadn’t charged me anything yet, just did a pre-auth, he took my card and completed the pre-auth. He then wanted to charge my card again for a random amount, without explaining where it came from. Then when he realized he couldn’t just tap my card for the remaining balance, he selected the currency without asking me (as the option I didn’t want as it would cost me more). Clear communication before grabbing someone’s credit card and charging it for amounts is always nice. Also, if I had a card that charged me fees for foreign transactions, I wouldn’t have wanted 2 separate transactions. The whole interaction was just weird and off putting, with him acting as though I was inconveniencing him by asking him to explain what he was charging on my card (no numbers that matched the invoice in front of me).

Loved breakfast....nice food and lovely atmosphere. Salvatore chatted to us despite our lack of Italian and he was very charming and helpful..Emiliana and Vincenzio provided any information we needed.I would return..

It is a bit of a walk to get to the centre of town but it is good exercise and safe.Some of our group got an open tram up from beach.

Lovely people, could not have been more friendly & helpful

Отель находится в 20-25 минутах ходьбы от центра Майори и пляжа. Хотят по расписанию бесплатные шатлы до пляжа, но мы попали на него всего один раз (прождали 20 минут, он так и не приехал). Завтраки подают на террасе. Номер очень просторный, но без балкона. Всё чисто, девушки на респешен очень приветливые и готовы помочь. В целом очень понравилось пребывание в отеле и в городке Майори.

A beautiful hotel. Daniela was so helpful and looked after us so well. Fabulous breakfast to start the day. Great place to travel around the Amalfi Coast. Close to the beach and the local town of Maoiri.
