Hotel Vietri Coast

TripAdvisor reminded me today that I stayed at this hotel last July. I had decided not to review the structure because to tell the truth I would not have been able to find the right words at the moment. I decided with my husband and my 16 year old daughter to go for a taste of the Amalfi Coast. Not having booked, I made dozens of attempts before finding a free room. They told me it was a free quadruple for a last minute cancellation. The photos didn't look bad, but the arrival blew our minds. In a reception full of old stuff and smelling of smoke, they welcome us in pajamas 🙄, oh well it was about midnight though. The indescribable room, cots with mattresses, walls not whitewashed and only plastered, some very old furniture, curtain rods where present dangling, centralized air conditioning that intermittently switched off and then restarted with a deafening noise. Finally the day and breakfast served on a fake badly maintained terrace with rusty scrap metal everywhere like empty open-air refrigerators, everything was truly surreal and we laughed at it as a funny mishap, it was truly an evening of vacation stolen from the frenetic routine , but I couldn't help but think of those poor tourists who had fallen for it and who could perhaps think that this was the face of our wonderful country. It is not correct to apply exorbitant prices like those on the Amalfi Coast without offering the same service. With the excuse that tourists fall for it so much, the structures are devoid of maintenance and care. This hotel shouldn't even be on booking or similar sites because the photos and descriptions are really misleading. I will definitely not go back but someone should make sure to monitor the state of degradation of the structures and prevent them from being opened to tourism.
