Reviews of Hotel Poseidonia Mare 3 stars

The owner who runs the hotel is very kind and helpful and the service staff were great. The hotel was very clean and the parking was very helpful. I was travelling after beach season and they were still very accommodating with breakfast etc. The location is super convenient for the beach, but it's a bit far from the ruins and open restaurants in the off season, I'd suggest having a car or taking a cab.

The bathroom in my unit needed some repairs, there was flooding when I used the shower. It wasn't a problem really but it did seem like it needed some maintenance. I also felt that it was a bit strange that the owner wanted to keep the keys at the desk and have us collect them every time we come and go, It felt a bit like being a guest in a house versus staying in a hotel which some people may enjoy but I was a bit caught off guard by that.

I don't even know where to begin – the service at Hotel Poseidonia Mare is simply outstanding. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the warmth and kindness of the staff. The hotel is impeccably clean, and every detail seems to be taken care of with love and attention. I almost get teary-eyed whenever it's time to leave because it feels like saying goodbye to family. Alessandro, the hotel director went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. He even drove me to post a letter to France, which was such a thoughtful gesture. It’s these little acts of kindness that make this hotel truly special. The breakfast was exceptional, offering everything I could possibly want. Every morning, I was greeted with a variety of fresh and delicious food that left me feeling full and satisfied. The meals throughout the day were also fantastic – generous portions, rich flavors, and cooked to perfection. What truly sets Hotel Poseidonia Mare apart is the heart and passion the staff put into their work. Every interaction is filled with warmth, and it’s clear that they genuinely care about making each guest's stay as pleasant as possible. It’s a place I never want to leave, and I’m already planning to come back. Thank you so much for making my stay unbelievably pleasant and memorable. I couldn’t have asked for more! I'm very grateful 🙏

We loved the cleanliness, location, and especially the friendly, personal service provided by Alessandro and the staff. The place was spotless. Alessandro and the staff went above and beyond, even driving us to the train station at the end of our stay at no charge, saving us 18 euros. The breakfast was abundant and delicious with fresh buffalo mozzarella and ricotta, bacon and eggs, fresh bread and pastries and fruit. We were just a couple hundred yards from the wide, sandy beach, which we had pretty much to ourselves because the season had just ended. It was an excellent choice.

The room we chose was one of the standard rooms with 2 twin beds, which were pretty small for us tall Americans, but they were comfortable. We did not realize that most of the small beach town would be closed due to the season ending so choices for dinner were very limited. The restaurant at the hotel, which is highly reviewed for its local cuisine, was closed.

The place is awesome. I stayed here for five days. Alexander is an awesome person. He provided me with awesome food. Dropped me to the work location as well as the station. I highly recommend this place in Paestum.

The staff is very kind and helpful. The bed size.

It is quite old. But very clean.

Friendly helpful staff, car parking. Good location, very clean and comfortable. Fabulous dinners

Breakfast was good. There is a good selection and they make you eggs if you need the extra protein.

Absolutely fantastic family-run hotel. Close to the beach and nearby restaurants and in walking distance of the antique city of Paestum. Pompei and the Amalfi coat can be reached by train easily. The staff was very friendly and helpful and even invited us to dinner at the hotel. We really enjoyed our stay there.

The home made food we had for dinner was amazing and the personell unbelievably friendly. Our room was exactly as depicted and had everything we needed. We had a very nice stay!

Great staff, location and parking. Breakfast buffet was nice. The room was really warm when we got there but called the front desk and they had to turn on the air conditioning since it was before the time they usually use it in the season.

The shower doors leaked.

A great, family run hotel with an interesting history. Located near to the beach and local facilities. Very friendly staff and great breakfast

The Staff were excellent, could not do enough for us. The location of the Hotel was only mins from the beach and the Paestum ruins. The Hotel was sparkling clean, we had a wonderful stay at the Poseidonia Mare.

Because the holiday season had not really begun, we were the only guests for most of the time and nearby restaurants/bars were closed. It's a great location, close to the beach and it was about a 30 minute walk into Paestum which had nice restaurants/bars. All the staff and particularly Fabio were very helpful and welcoming. Our room was comfortable enough. The gift of a bottle of wine on our departure was a pleasant surprise and much appreciated, and enjoyed!

I didn't dislike anything about the hotel. The decor in our bedroom was somewhat dated but the room was very clean.

A quaint hotel owned by the family who started it. In very good condition it is very homely and comfortable, Breakfast was great. The staff were extremely helpful and willing to make you feel at home.

This family-run hotel is in the tiny hamlet of Capaccio, a 25-min walk to the very impressive Greek temples of Paestum. This ancient city (must-see for archeological fans) is off the beaten path even if just a 1 hr. 40 min. train ride south of tourist-overrun Pompei. The hotel is only 200 meters from a lovely, uncrowded beach that stretches for more than 20 km. Close by are beach bars where you can rent umbrellas or order a cocktail, gaze at the Tyrrhenian Sea and ponder what it was like to live here 2,500 years ago. I walked from the Paestum train station with my luggage and arrived prior to check-in time. Fabio and Alessandro greeted me warmly and offered me a cappuccino at the hotel bar while I waited. My room (Nr. 120) was very clean, spacious and included a double-bed, desk, a fridge filled with water and a terrace overlooking the back courtyard of the hotel. (With the terrace door open, one can hear the waves rolling onto the beach.) A fold-up metal stand was available to hang up wet clothes although it was too cold to swim in mid-April. The hotel is in a quiet location and located just a few steps from restaurants. The signal from the free wi-fi was strong – good for digital nomads. The breakfast buffet was a highlight, with fresh fruit, typical pastries and dairy products from a local producer. The staff was also happy to meet any special requests. As a bonus, there are basic bikes (no gears) available to ride to the archeological park (ask for more air in the tires). On my last morning, the owner even taxied me to the station so I would catch my train – a nice personal touch!

Honestly, there weren’t many negatives. The shower cabin was a bit cramped and it wasn’t possible to set the temperature in the room – just heating/air conditioning on or off. In terms of managing expectations, this is not a luxury hotel. But all the pluses mentioned above and the excellent service translates into very good value for money beyond the designated three stars.

The hotel & staff was wonderful! The location was close to the Greek Temples and the beach. I highly recommend this place. They were so friendly and helpful!
