Reviews for Virgilio Grand Hotel
Review 1:Don't pay the hotel to use their private beach - they charge you more than others and it's not close to the hotel at all.
Review 2:Staff were lovely, room was clean, breakfast was good and the town is gorgeous.
Review 3:Nice staff at the hotel. The hotel was situated close to the beaches. The hotel offers very good breakfasts.Our room was big enough, nicely furnished, clean.
Review 4:The swimming pool only had two deep steps to get into it. If old or short made it very difficult getting on or out.
Review 5:The hotel was lovely and modern and the rooms a good size.
Review 6:Nothing.
Review 7:I like the staffs, they have been so helpful and always smile at you. The facilities were just great and the best is you don't pay that much. Great value!
Review 8:The staff at the hotel need to improve their customer service. I know the Italian way is more relaxed than the English expectation however; - When requesting an iron I was told 'meh, we don't have one' there is a laundry shop down the road but it isn't open - for a 4 star hotel I do not think that this is too big of an ask? - We also went to pre-book a taxi on the day of our departure however this was not actioned until we asked again when we checked out as the staff were all standing outside smoking in an area that you need to walk through to get to the pool - not very inviting. - The hotel is also lacking in a basic hotel guide in the room detailing prices etc. One day we entered the spa area for half an hour with no staff present to be told that there was a 20Euro charge per person just to use the sauna and pool however this is not detailed anywhere or advised at check in.
Review 9:The location of the hotel was great and the rooms were kept clean during our stay.
Review 10:Wi-fi signal in room not that strong. Room seemed slightly small to be described a quadruple executive but did have a decent bathroom and balcony. Neither detracted from our stay, which overall was fantastic.
Review 11:Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location in Sperlonga, off the main drag but only five minutes' from a fantastic public beach. Lovely pool and decent pool-side bar for drinks and lunch. High season so relatively expensive but still good value for money, for me. Would go back. Fab local mini-market and steakhouse nearly opposite.
Review 12:Dinner was not of quality to match the price (€35), bathrooms were of nice look but did not work well - needs shower curtains. No tea making facilities in room, breakfast could be better, Gym only open 10am - 7pm.
Review 13:Good Pool, new building, gym, spa, private beach with shuttle, reasonable sized rooms, good staff. Welcome stock in fridge on arrival. Good location.
Review 14:The hotel is very clean, spacious and good proximity to the beach. The staff speak excellent English with a warm and friendly disposition. We were sorry to leave. The pool was an added bonus.
Review 15:A part from a girl at the reception the staff seems to be the most important people at the hotel. No helpful at all didn't really care about guests needs.a lot of hidden costs that we discovered at the check in such as beach parking.... """shuttle bus""" was a little 4 seated car that caused queue's in the morning and back from the beach. Wouldn't recommend.
Review 16:The room was a bit small for 4, however we could manage.
Review 17:Staff were very nice, it was professionally managed, breakfast fine and easy to get to the beach and the old town.
Review 18:The hotel is not cheap, and yet they ask for parks my fees of 10 Euro per night (!!). I also didn't like the fact that the hotel did not supply towels for their pool - you have to rent them for 5 Euros each (?!!)
Review 19:Very nice hotel, with a lovely pool.
Review 20:Private beach is a bit of a walk from the hotel. Swimming pool area is a bit on the small side.
Review 21:Excellent facilities including swimming pool and spa. Good breakfast. Hotel was clean, comfortable and well-maintained. Staff were friendly. 3 minute walk to the beach. Shuttle bus to beach.Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Good value for money.
Review 22:Although the staff is friendly they all speak poor english. We had a small issue related to room number and payment because of the booking software.
Review 23:Very nice hotel with very good food (breakfast and dinner). Clean rooms, nicely decorated, big bathroom with all accessories. Very nice private beach accessible by foot or with hotel's transfer.
Review 24:Location and Cleanliness is best! We love our stay, we have a quite room and good breakfast. Big bed and Jacuzzi bath are also an added plus! I like how the front desk staff called her colleague to assist us while she's on the phone to avoid delays. They're courteous and healpful. Thanks for making our stay memorable!
Review 25:A heated Pool would have been nice as cold in May
Review 26:Breakfast was fresh and good choice available Spa was good to have in poor weather Location was central, but quiet as set back from main street, offering easy access to Beach and Historic Town and places to eat. Pool was nice.
Review 27:One or two ants in our bathroom - there was a nest just outside. WiFi requires repeated login
Review 28:Smart, tidy hotel with English speaking staff. Breakfast good, massage excellent and jacuzzi bath in our room!
Review 29:Mosquitos!!
Review 30:You are situated at the foot of one of the many picturesque hills, yet you are only 200yards from the perfect sandy beach. It was a quiet, cheap and beautiful town. We loved it.
Review 31:Slight moan but was expected as it was in the attic, Small window, no where to dry any clothing. Girlfriend kept banging her head on sloping roof
Review 32:Quality of the hotel for the price The breakfast The pool area The staff The Power shower The Massive bed Amazing looking 4* hotel for 60 euros per night including brekky. Bargain
Review 33:We were travelling with a baby so would have been good to have a kettle. Staff were happy to provide hot water but it would have been easier to do it ourselves. The wifi connection was a bit rubbish and had to keep relogging in and even then was really slow. Overall a good hotel just us being picky!
Review 34:Nice hotel and we paid only a small amount extra for the upgrade so had plenty of space. Pool area was really nice and good spread for breakfast. Clean and comfortable and staff were friendly. We got a good rate but may have been a bit disappointed if we had paid 4 star prices!
Review 35:The position, the hotel HAVEN'T got a private beach, the restaurant and the service-mens aren't friendly...
Review 36:The pool, the gym and the (really too) small spa..
Review 37:The shower leaked a bit. The wifi connection dropped from time to time. A little hotel pack in the room with mini bar prices, room service and opening/closing times of hotel facilities would have been useful. But none of these small hitches ruined our stay, we still had an amazing stay.
Review 38:We enjoyed our stay immensely. We had travelled down after a five day stay in Rome. We were welcomed with some complimentary soft drinks in our mini bar. It was a wonderful place to unwind based in a beautiful town. The pool barman was a joy and the cleaning lady did a professional job on our room every day, with nearly all the reception staff being very helpful. We will definitely return.
Review 39:Additional payment for towels for pool and car parking. Towels were not provided for beach, despite email request to confirm this. Finish to hotel of poor standard for 4 star. Becoming very tired. Room as a Superior, was not of that standard, or even the standard of a regular 4 Star room. No tea/coffee making facility in room. On arrival room was very warm as blackout curtains had not been closed. Inadequate parking for guests. Most of toiletries in bathroom were empty. Breakfast was basic. Pool area was limited and majority shaded by late afternoon.
Review 40:Dario on reception was helpful and courteous. Location was good.
Review 41:Sat nav struggled to find the hotel because of the one way system. We couldn't find the hotel.
Review 42:Very professional ,friendly staff. Room modern and clean. Private beach great. Re Well organised hotel. Breakfast choice excellent. Lovely pool.
Review 43:Spa quite small space Bar pool too expensive
Review 44:Location of hotel was pretty good, just few minutes walk from the beach. Food variety was good. Hotel nice clean, rooms quite spacious. Staff very helpful
Review 45:No view from room. Staff at breakfast a bit glum.
Review 46:Excellent location for beach and beautiful old town. Pool area nice and pool bar prices reasonable for drinks and snacks. Comfortable beds.
Review 47:The pool area was too small and had too few sunbeds. The door too our room couldn`t be locked and it wasn`t repaired.
Review 48:Nice staff both at the hotell and at the hotells beach, good beakfast, fair rooms with a little too hard bed.
Review 49:Rooms were awful. We had 155 with noise from pool engine. The room was below ground zero and we saw people walking by our room looking down at our balcony and room.
Review 50:Private beach charges 15 extra euros, only few people out of all staff speaks English, 5 minutes walk to the beach
Review 51:Perfect hotel. Very coisy, comfortable and beautiful rooms, friendly staff, free wifi and gym
Review 52:Bedroom did not have sofabed as it said in description and we had boomed a superior double. We asked for extra beds for the 2 kids. We got a camp bed and both fell out and ended up sleeping on the floor. Also my bed mattress was not comfortable. Walls thin and could hear next door lady talking. Was room 204, not a good stay.
Review 53:Close to beach. Room large. Was ok.
Review 54:Local restraunts did not serve the best food, but it was cheap
Review 55:Pool amazing, breakfast was incredible, 30 second walk to the beach, easy to get to from train station amazing little town

Review 79:Perfect location and breakfast. Helpful stuff. Good and really big room. I would like to come again
Review 80:Hotel was located nicely and pool was great.
Review 81:Pool and spa
Review 82:Wifi connection was poor in our room. The beach is not very far from the hotel (2-3 minutes walk) but the hotel's official beach area is a bit farther (~10 min walk but they also have free car service to take you there and back).
Review 83:Very nice and clean hotel, good location, quiet room with balcony. We spent there a part of our honeymoon trip and we were greeted by the hotel with a free bottle of Prosecco in our room (nicely served in bucket of ice).
Review 84:We spent some wonderful days in this hotel. I'd like to say that we liked everything. Our room was nice and spacious, clean and cozy. Bed-clothes and towels were changed every day, maids were friendly. The swimming-pool and its area were clean and convenient. The location of the hotel is great - just five minutes walk to the sea.It was also possible to get to the beach on shuttle (the hotel has its own beach place which is about 10-13 minutes walk on foot) but we preferred to "take the air". I would also like to draw attention to guys, who were at the Reception (Giuseppe and the one whose name starts with "F" - sorry I don't remember) Bar place and Beach place. They were very-very friendly and helpful. Excellent job! Hope to come to Virgilio Grand Hotel next summer!
Review 85:Nothing,
Review 86:I loved this hotel, staff were so friendly and helpful and the pool area was excellent. Very clean hotel. Also had dinner at the hotel one night and it was gorgeous.
Review 87:One of our party had a room on the first floor that looked out to a building site and they found it hard to sleep due to the noise coming from the kitchen ie music and fans
Review 88:The location was great and the staff were very good .
Review 89:We booked a superior room but didn't think there was anything superior about the room and still very small.
Review 90:The hotel was very clean and in an excellent location. Reception staff were very helpful
Review 91:Wi-fi could have been a bit better as it was not too stable.
Review 92:One of the staff workers, Giuseppe, was very service minded for literally anything that we asked for which made the Spearlonga trip extra nice, thank you Giuseppe ;) Facilities were nice too in the room itself, I guess television could have been a bit larger, but the again we were mostly out taking walks during both day & evenings, swimming pool was nice too & the beach, which is basically just down the road from the hotel was nice & relaxing too. We were in Spearlonga during not the peak of the seasons were we had mostly everything to ourselves & no stress. A good one-timer place to go & Virgilio Grand Hotel a good recommendable place to have a nice relaxation time. Oh, & the breakfast is nice too where you can have fresh squashed oranges from an automatic machine too & the banana yoghurts there are just great too ;D
Review 93:Delux room with the spa bath tab has old, dirty and broken bath tab. Extremely poor soundproof level in the rooms.
Review 94:24h reception, existence of spa - zone
Review 95:My only minus on this hotel would be the room that I had had no windows.I know this isn't true for all rooms - and indeed many havebalconies, but my room felt a little claustrophobic to me having onlyone 8-inch tall window that ran at ankle level. It wasn't the end ofthe world - but I'm just mentioning it so that if you were to bookyou might request a room with views (of any sort)
Review 96:Lovely hotel, huge room, great shower in a great location. Staff wereattentive and friendly. Great breakfast, and good wifi.
Review 97:Be careful when check out they can add something to your Bill!!! We didnt visit beach from hotel but they have added it for all days for all members. When we said about it they agree to delete it immediately.
Review 98:We totally loved the hotel. We loved spacious modern design rooms with good beds & balconies. Condition is great. WIFI is free with middle speed. Great spacious bathrooms with all the facilities. Good continental breakfast with various pastries, eggs & bacon & etc. We adored swimming pool area. Very beautiful are around the hotel with water wall, tables & greenery. Great location 5-10 mins to beach & restaurants, shops. We loved Galya from reception - she is amazing & super friendly!
Review 99:The hotel beach was ~1.2km far, but they have a car to take you to the beach and back. Although the staff is always smiling they might forget to tell you some details (internet connection credentials, beach card) about their services unless you ask specifically.
Review 100:The room was very clean, the internet connection was ok.
Review 101:Having to leave.
Review 102:This hotel completely exceeded our expectations. The pictures on the website don't do it justice. Rooms were spotless and very comfortable. Pool area small but beautiful. Breakfast very good quality. Location excellent. Staff excellent
Review 103:All personel very friendly and helpfull. Rooms very modern, clean. Breakfast delicious. Nice location in the city, close to everything. The also offer transport to the beach. Unfortunately only to hotel beach.
Review 104:Bus service to the beach was not good. The shower on the beach was quite expensive (same with restaurant). The breakfast was poor.The parking was really expensive.
Review 105:Room was nice and clean. I like the swimming pool (it was small but ok.) The location is good. Quiet
Review 106:We booked 2 rooms forntwo nights, but when we arrived the hotel told us that one room had been cancelled by Booking.com. We had to share a room the first night (we were 4 persons). We got 2 rooms for thesecond night
Review 107:Everything comes with an additional cost, the parking, beach towels, the sunbeds on the hotel beach club, the shower on the beach club...
Review 108:Sperlonga old town is beautiful, it's quie a few steps up the hill, but it's really worth the effort, both for the view and the restaurants. It's quite a long walk to the hotel's beach club, but it's on the nicest part of the beach.
Review 109:When they were cleaning rooms they didn't clean floors at all!! After two days the floor was all dusty and full of sand (it is 100m away from the beach)
Review 110:Very nice hotel. Offer-money excellent
Review 111:I wouldn't say there's anything we didn't like!
Review 112:The hotel was modern, clean and very comfortable. We stayed in an attic room, which we really liked because it was cosy and felt much more intimate. The swimming pool area was really relaxing and it was always possible to get a sunbed thanks to the fact the hotel has its own beach. Good breakfast buffet too!
Review 113:the hotel is not near the beach. You can walk down the block to a public speech or you can spend €20 plus the cost of towels and be transported to their private beach. I thought this was a little excessive. We also were placed in a room that was very quiet Louisville out of the way it was difficult to navigate without a guide. But these negatives did not mitigate our enjoyable stay.
Review 114:we enjoyed our stay. The staff was excellent. The hotel was clean. Breakfast was excellent. Overall a very enjoyable stay.
Review 115:Cramped room Balcony below street level with floor grate to underground car garage Poor breakfast selections
Review 116:Friendly staff Clean spaces Close to the to-dos and to-sees
Review 117:The two single beds instead of a double.We reserved an attic room at first to save money, but didn't like it ended up paying 20 euros more for a regular room. I don't recommend theatric room unless you can rough it a little. Only a tiny window near the floor and very low ceilings in bedroom and bathroom.
Review 118:The staff was wonderful. Good English and very helpful. The breakfastwas more extensive than at other places we stayed. The pool area is verypretty with a bar right there. Their beach lido is very nice too. Wedidn't use the spa or gym, but they look decent. Big hot tub, saunaand steam room.
Review 119:Hotel had quite a corporate feel which could put some off. Thearrangement over the beach shuttle were a little vague. It seemed to bemore down to luck if it turned up. However, after realising it was apleasent 10 minute walk we stopped using it anyway.
Review 120:Hotel was beautiful and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was superb andvaried. Every taste catered for. Staff were helpful and friendly. Theprivate area of beach they have is beautiful and constantly manned byat least on member of staff, meaning we could leave our belongingswhile swimming.
Review 121:The hotel was spacious and clean and comfortable, and most of the staff were very very friendly. We stayed there with a toddler daughter and got everything we needed. The town has a relaxed atmosphere, and shops and restaurants are child-friendly. The beach and surrounding countryside are lovely.
Review 122:Not sure about whether we could use the indoor pool for free - also weren't sure where it was!
Review 123:Breakfast had a good variety, liked the buffet style. Good hours for breakfast - some hotels make you get up too early!
Review 124:Hot water disappeared on next day. Lift stopped working on 3d day. Hadto take our luggage downstairs by ourselves. Nobody cares. Breakfast isvery poor: no fruits, no sausages, only jam with croissants, bread andcakes. Very low value for money. I don't recommend this hotel.
Review 125:the bed. It would have been nice to get a queen size bed as requested, instead of 2 single beds pushed together.
Review 126:good location, close to the beach. The staff was helpful and very kind. Clean room. good breakfast with delicious croissants and home made bakery.
Review 127:The reception desk is often unstaffed for long periods of time and this can be frustrating when you want to ask something. Also, the design/layout of the hotel is odd. Some rooms require you to take two lifts (if you don't want to take the stairs, or can't take the stairs) and this can become tiresome.
Review 128:I liked the fact it was new, bright and clean.
Review 129:For a 4 star hotel the decor could be to a better standard. Bathroom was clean but not that great (shower leaked all over the floor).
Review 130:Great location, friendly staff, nice pool area, clean.
