For our 4-night Amalfi Coast vacation, I chose Salerno for my family of 5 people (including a 3-year-old toddler) because Sorrento didn't have adequate accommodations in our price range for the dates we wanted to travel.
We wanted to visit a couple of towns along the coast, Capri, and Pompeii ruins.
But Pompeii ruins wasn't directly on the train line from Salerno. It's about 1 mile away. This is walkable for most people, but not for a toddler (walking on his own or being pushed in a stroller) in the heat, so we paid 15 euros for a shuttle to the ruins and 10 euros for a taxi back to the train station. (The train line from Sorrento is at the entrance of Pompeii ruins.)
We didn't make it to Capri because it would have cost approximately $50 per person for a roundtrip ferry ticket, and 2 hours on a ferry was too long for a toddler. The ferry ticket would be a lot less from Sorrento and in a third or quarter of the time.
I would recommend Sorrento (as opposed to Salerno) for first-time visitors to the Amalfi Coast with 3-4 days to explore the area.

small cute walkable town. no real beach but waterfront was decent. the old prt of town was really cute with narrow cobblestone streets and cute restaurants and shops. We were pleasantly surprised to find a few great beer spots.

Salerno- big mistake.
Salerno- big mistake. I have to say that it took us 1 hr to find out the ferry boat location for Capri- yes, it is not the main port. For the life of me I could not understand why nobody knew. Parking is a nightmare alive. We should have stayed in Scalia and take the ferry from Amalfi. I could not leave soon enough. They have a little street with Oceanside.

Salerno was the better choice than Sorrento if you are leaving Amalfi to catch the high speed trains of Tren Italia and Italo. You would have to catch a bus or a local train, Circumvesuviana, from Sorrento to Naples to do the same.

It is a perfect place to explore the Amalfi Coast.
It is a perfect place to explore the Amalfi Coast. A lot of people stay in Sorrento, but for me, Salerno had more of an Italian city feel where Sorrento had more of an American Tourist feel. At night and on the weekends, people take to the street and it was fun to just drink and people watch. Food was also great.

Great as destination itself, but excellent budget...
Great as destination itself, but excellent budget alternative to Amalfi coast, and bus trip there is best value, with bonus of good value boat ferry. Enjoyed medical gardens where Greeks were forerunners of western medicine.
“Everything is brand new, the room was very comfortable.
Great place from where to go visit Amalfi and Positano by boat.
Vincenzo and his father were very kind, they even drove us to the train station when we left Salerno.”
“The host Sonia was so helpful & kind. She was full of information about things to do in Salerno, and we had some great conversations. She ended up more like a friend.”
“Everything was just wonderful. The owners were really helpful, communication between us was very good, they even provided us with phone numbers for pizza (the best pizza we've had until now in Italy), and taxi. The apartment is clean, with all you need in it. The location is probably the best thing, with an amazing view of the Gulf of Salerno. Excellent value for money. We cannot recommend it enough!”
“The house was really convenient, clean and it was on a great location. Everything was just perfect. I would definitely stay here if I'd come to Salerno again.”
