Lloyd's Baia Hotel in Vietri sul Mare

Friendly reception and lovely continental breakfast. Yes there is a big port to the left side and it can be noisy and there is a night club but when the windows and doors were closed the noise was fine, had no trouble sleeping and we were right above it. There was construction around the hotel taking place which didn’t seem very professional.. They also advertise a pool, gym and a spa however these were all closed. You also have to pay a minimum of €10 per person to go on the beach which is a bit of a scam. We got a good deal so we thought it was worth it. The surrounding area is also not very touristy at all which was nice too.

I stayed at the hotel from 26 April through May 3 2025 as part of a small tour group. Our tour host set up the hotel and did most of the coordinating with them. Having said that, I did have need to interact with the staff, and I found most to be helpful and communicative.

Vietri is a short, safe walk from the hotel - I felt very safe both at the hotel and surrounding area.

The room was a bit disappointing. We had a view of the ship yard, which was noisy and bright at night. The room was a bit smaller than anticipated, and the AC did not work well, if at all. The room was clean, and there was room service each day.

My main problem with the hotel is that it seems to be more of an event center, with hosting weddings and other events, as well as having the disco located down below. Between the noise of the events, and the disco starting up at midnight, there is no rest to be had at this hotel. If I were a younger traveler, I'd probably be down there partying with everyone, but at this stage of my life, sleeping is a higher priority, and you don't get that at this hotel.

The food was sub-par and not what I expected. Breakfast certainly had a great spread of pastries but if you want anything other than that, it's hit or miss. They had 2 coffee machines that were unpredictable in quality. I had lunch and a dinner there and they were just "ok." Service for dinner was shocking - there was one guy who could take your order, despite another server being there. The order guy would get busy, and we felt forgotten about.

In short, it was convenient and clean, but loud and noisy. I would not stay here again.

We stayed for one night in the junior suite with a hot tub and sauna. While the room itself was decent, we were unable to use the sauna properly as it only worked for 3–4 minutes before shutting off. When we poured water into the sauna container, it leaked from the bottom, flooding the bathroom. We had to use most of the towels to clean up the mess.
The staff seemed to have little knowledge of the property, and some receptionists—particularly a blonde-haired girl—were unpleasant and unprofessional. We also had issues with the heating, which was controlled from the reception. Despite calling twice, including once during the night, it was never turned off. We had to sleep with the balcony open, only to wake up covered in insect bites.
For the price paid, we had higher expectations. On a positive note, breakfast was very satisfying, and the girl serving it was friendly and attentive. I hope if we return, the service will improve. I strongly recommend better staff training, especially regarding the more expensive rooms.
