Reviews for Hotel Calypso
Review 1：The young guy that welcomed us was super friendly and even greeted me by name. I booked online last minute and was pleased with price, location, and quality of the room. Thanks again.
Review 2：cafe was near our window, a bit noisy at the weekend night. No refrigerator in the room.
Review 3：Location near train station, supermarket is near hotel. Room is very clean. Friendly personal. Excellent breakfast.
Review 4：Nothing to report.
Review 5：The hotel is awesome inside. The AC worked really well, the room and bathroom were very nice and exceptionally clean. We had a balcony from which we could see the Mediterranean. It is only a four or so block walk from the train station and adjacent to the park where market day is held on Fridays. The breakfast is great too! This was my second time staying here and will be back!!
Review 6：Neighbouring room was very noisy. This is not a fault of the hotel but the person in the room was very inconsiderate,
Review 7：Very close to the beach and the promenade.
Review 8：The only things I didn't rate as perfect was the fact there was no elevator, however, I asked for a room on a lower floor and was given that so for me it wasn't a problem. The bed was a little hard for my taste but I like very soft beds so I am not really a good judge for that.
Review 9：The hotel is adorable, the staff were very nice and helpful, the whole hotel was very clean. We fell in love with the town. We had a cute balcony we could sit out on. The beach is only 2 blocks away.
Review 10：No elevator The bathroom was small Should have brought an adapter for electricity.
Review 11：Simple, clean hotel in a good location. Friendly staff, good breakfast.
Review 12：Very convenient for an overnight stay, easy walking distance from the train station and the beach, as well as to the older section of town across the river. Very friendly staff and a good breakfast buffet.
Review 13：Great location, comfortable rooms, and a hearty early breakfast made this an excellent choice. The owners were cheerfully helpful in locating services such as eyeglass repair. We stayed here in order to make a one-day visit ti Monaco easy.
Review 14：Nothing
Review 15：Easy location from the train station only 10 minute walk through this lovely town. The managers were so delightful, helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great and was the best coffee I had had in 2 weeks. French coffee takes some getting use to Italian is much softer. The room was beautiful, large, clean and wonderfully comfortable bed. This place was a really pleasant place to stay so close to everything in this town.
Review 16：A charming, non-modern hotel with good location near train station and within the city center. Short walk to everything. Was perfect for us, but not for everyone.
Review 17：Beds are not comfortable
Review 18：Clean and spacious room. Close to carrefour and the Friday market. We had an early train and the hotel packed us a breakfast bag to go. It had juice, fruit and biscuits which was great on the train.
Review 19：I really loved this hotel. The staff was kind and accommodating. The breakfast was hearty (meats, cheeses, fruits, yummy coffees, orange juice, etc.) I stayed there for my wedding in one of the newer suites with a lovely balcony. Bathroom was roomy & clean. Bed was comfy and quiet. I couldn't hear any noise from the other rooms/guests. I'd recommend this hotel to everyone!
Review 20：Pillows a little to big/full - nothing to complain about however!
Review 21：Spotless, large bathroom with great shower, excellent breakfast included! Close to the waterfront and shopping.
Review 22：We just needed a place to spend the night on our way to France. The hotel was a pleasant surprise. It was close to the train station, and the young man behind the counter spoke English very well and made good recommendations on places to eat. Good value for the money.
Review 23：This is a good 2 star hotel. Very Clean with good staff. It is only a few blocks from the train station which was good since we only stayed one night.
Review 24：The coffee at breakfast was not very good, but happily there is a decent place to have your espresso just opposite of the hotel. There is no elevator.
Review 25：Great location, just near everywhere you want to go in Ventimiglia. The hotel is nothing special, but comfortable enough to have a pleasant stay. Staff is friendly. Room at the backside was pleasantly quiet at night.
Review 26：Big fuss about showing our passports - the guy didn't say he needed them straight away, then did a big eye rolling thing when I said we'd give them to him after we went out for dinner..
Review 27：Cleanliness Wifi
Review 28：Excellent friendly service. Room very clean, bed comfortable Only minutes from the station, it was ideal for our purpose of catching a train to Rome at 6.30 am. Without any prompting we were offered a packed breakfast - fruit juice, yogurt, fruit and a croissant. Would certainly recommend it.
Review 29：The bathroom could have been cleaned a bit better. The hotel could you use a renovation - the rooms and public areas are quite old-fashioned and outdated, but to be fair a lot of hotels in Italy are. This didn't take away from us having a good night sleep!
Review 30：The staff was friendly and accommodating, the bed was quite comfortable and we had good wifi connection. Also, the location was excellent - close to the beach and to all restaurants and bars.
Review 31：Shower only hand held over bath - no curtain Garage access tight and the car "beached" over pavement Bed very firm Rear balcony with "excellent" view of backs of apartments and overgrown parking!
Review 32：Central location Closed garage parking Breakfast buffet The faults didn't spoil the enjoyment, still good value.
Review 33：Shared bathroom despite booking with a bathroom. The bathroom was grubby and dated. Location was hard to find and even a policeman had trouble. Breakfast was very limited. Would not stay again.
Review 34：Staff were pleasant.
Review 35：Very basic breakfast. Rooms with street frontage can be noisy especially Friday market day. Didn't realise had to ask for air conditioner control.
Review 36：Clean, comfortable and convenient.
Review 37：The stairs, they don't have an elevator so I had to carry my bags to the thirds floor but the staff saved a couple of bags downstairs for me.
Review 38：I got there by train and it was really nice to know that people there knew the hotel and how to get there, they were really nice and it's actually really close to the train station. The staff was very accommodating and friendly, the room was really clean and the bathroom too. Breakfast was plenty and very good quality. The location is really nice because it's close to the boulevard where you can eat and walk by the beach. Overall I woah I could've stayed more.
Review 39：Too far to the sand beach. Didn't like the view. The room looked like an office a bit. Wasn't cozy enough.
Review 40：Near to the train station and pebble beach. A lot of towels (it's good if you're going to go to the sea two times a day). The room was big.
Review 41：aircon
Review 42：We looked for a hotel in the cheaper end. and here we got it. no particular fancy things, but just a nice little cheaper hotel for a short stay.

Review 105：nothing to dislike...would recommend higly
Review 106：Great Value on all fronts--large clean room with large bath and great shower/pressure. Good location and very nice breakfast included in price of the room.
Review 107：the hotel keep all the room keys hanging out side of the reception, it means people can easily get your room key without asking any one, so i don't feel safe in this hotel. and the fan in the roof doesn't work at all, in July in south France... it was a little suffer....
Review 108：nice breakfast
Review 109：We had to leave early in the morning so we asked for a breakfast pack totake with us, but the man in the reception said we could have breakfastbefore we left. The lady making breakfast didn't know this though sowe had to leave the hotel hungry and angry. We thought this was very badservice. The toilets in the corridor were hard to flush.
Review 110：Very close to the train station and the beach. Big rooms. Washbasins inthe rooms.
Review 111：We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights and really liked it. It's well-located between the beach and the train station. The hotel was clean and tidy. Our room had a balcony, which was nice. The front desk staff were helpful when we had a question about how to get to a nearby site (Balzi Rossi). We also found the breakfasts to be quite good (rolls/croissants, meat, cheese, cereal, fruit, yogurt, etc).
Review 112：This was my first night ever in Italy -- and a hard act to follow! Warm welcome in English, lovely room with a balcony, beautiful bath with tub and bidet, hardwood floors. Perfect in every way. The breakfast in graceful coral dining room offered more than I could eat! Best coffee ever and plenty of it. Breads, meats, cheeses, cereals. yougurt and many kinds of fresh fruit. As if all these weren't enough, the Mediterranean is just a block away. I'll be back.
Review 113：If the towels were softer and put into the dryer instead of air dried, but that isn't very important.
Review 114：We are enjoying our stay at the Calypso and have extended the time in Ventimiglia. The staff is very friendly and anticipates their guests needs, if any.
Review 115：Hard to find fault for what we needed
Review 116：great base to visit Monte Carlo without the price tag of Monte Carlo. Friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast. It suited our needs.
