I wouldn’t consider this a 4 star hotel. We were in a room in the basement that had no wifi and even tho we asked a few times nothing was done. Water wasn’t replaced even when asked and no one explained how the booking of beach chairs worked. When you come all the way from Canada expecting wifi and a beach spot , it’s disappointing to not get this and be paying 500$/ nite. The city is stunning and beautiful ! The shuttle service to the beach and the buffet were also great

Great hotel and well run. Kudos to the management . Breakfast was amazing with a huge selection. Their reserved beach area was also great, no rocks , smooth sand and great for kids . Only a 5 min shuttle ride that runs throughout the day until evening.

Beautiful hotel, modern, and clean. Only thing I recommend is that parking be included in the price. The location of the hotel is perfect, right off the main beach strip. Highly recommended!

Loved our time at Sperlonga, its a hidden gem! We'll definitely be going back. Hotel Virgilio was perfect and just what we were looking for, close walk to the beach, clean and comfortable rooms, fantastic full breakfast and great staff. We would stay here again for our next visit. We're from Canada.

There was mould on my bathroom Shower walls. The rest seems clean. Other thing is the pool was nice to look at from a distance however there was broken tiles everywhere. The bottom of the pool was rough to bare feet because of broken tiles . The hotub was not headed and no one cleaned the water in both pool and hot tub. The water was cloudy . other then that the rest of the place was clean

Good but...
Overall, it was a wonderful hotel and we enjoyed our stay. However, having to find out we had been charged 20€ for private beach use per day, 10€ for towels at pool, and not being notified that we should bring our own towels to the beach because they have none there seemed non-transparent..

Good for a stopover on road trip. That's about it.
Tobacco smoke smell everywhere. Uninspired breakfast. Half the lights/sockets in room didn't work. Shower had half a curtain and leaked all over floor. - damaged walls were evidence this had been going on for long time. Check in offered no assistance with bags.

Decent hotel, good price
Overall we enjoyed our stay at this hotel , the staff were helpful enough and the facilities were good . The room we had was fairly basic but comfortable and clean. Good points- massage shower , cleanliness of room Bad points- pool bit too cold and jaccuzi was dirty, no kettle in room , bed quite uncomfortable, breakfast not huge amount of choice and not what I would expect from a 4* hotel, didn't try the evening meals as they were expensive and didn't like the sound of any of the menus. Sperlonga as a whole is a lovely place ,very quiet (possibly down to time of year) and food overall not great however would recommend the gelateria called dolce gelato on the seafront and the pizzaria called gambi de gatto in the town square.

Beautiful and comfortable
The Virgilio is an excellent choice in Sperlonga. The rooms are spacious and the entire hotel is immaculate. The place is beautiful and the staff attentive. It has a view and is on a hill but close to everything including a private beach, which was perfect. The pool was awesome, too. Breakfast was included and had delicious pastries and eggs and fantastic coffee. My only complaints are that they could have varied the food they serve each day.

Very nice hotel with friendly staff
We had to call the hotel last minute to arrange a taxi to pick us up from the station as we got to there late at night, and they sent someone right away . The hotel is a short walking distance to the beach. Our room was changed to one with a better view (facing the beach). Wi-fi wasn't too good in our room on second floor, but all round very pleased with their excellent customer service. Sperlonga is a beautiful and lovely town.

The hotel was in a good location about 300 metres from the beach. The staff at the hotel reception were quite friendly and helpful. The room was well maintained and clean with an excellent shower unit in a bath. It had a free safe with fridge stocked with complimentary water and soft drinks for when you arrive. The breakfast was continental style with bacon and scrambled eggs for something different. Service in the breakfast room was a bit hit or miss, sometimes they would ask you if you wanted tea or coffee, sometimes they wouldn't ( some of the staff looks as if they had been there to long - but not all ). The bar and lounge area was comfy and kept very clean. The pool area a plentiful supply of loungers and parasols and a well stocked bar that served a nice selection of bar snacks

A nice comfortable hotel near beach
We spent three nights at the hotel, overall are very happy with the quality of the hotel and service. Breakfast was super - wide variety of pastries, fruit and cheese and meat. the hotel was fully packed and we were located in a room below the ground floor. However the staff was helpful enough to move us to a nicer room in the first floor - a spacious comfortable room with a balcony. The hotel has a private beach within 15 minute walk from the hotel - it is possible to get there walking along the beach for a good exercise. the only negative is that no towels are provided at the pool area.

Nice hotel in quiet location
A nice hotel in a convenient location a few minutes walk from the beach. Lovely pool area although thought 10 Euros for the hire of 2 towels for a few hours one afternoon was excessive. Breakfast was adequate. Staff were friendly although not particularly effective. Our room was a good size and very comfortable

Walk to all and a pool to boot!
This hotel has an easy walk-to-all location, is quiet, has an very nice pool (on the small side) and attractive pool area. The staff was very helpful, e.g. I asked for restaurant recommendations and got great advice plus a map on how to get there. Everything was clean. My only beef was that the WiFi connection in my room was too weak to use so I had to sit in the lobby.

Great hotel close to beach
This hotel is just a few minutes walk from the beach,local shops and restaurants and would recommend it. Only comment would be that our room on the third floor had a sloping ceiling so had to be very careful in the bathroom especially for 6ft plus men! I struggled and I am only 5ft 2.5!

Hotel .com site neglected to say that the room would be in the attic ! with limited head room and a floor level 2 foot sq window,the route to it was very convoluted requiring 2 lifts. parking is no existent in the area so you have to use the underground garage e7 per night OK the hotel is very smart and the breakfast brilliant it does have a nice private beach, take the courtesy bus as its a trek

Return to sperlonga.
This was our second visit to Grand Virgilio, its in a great position, the staff were superb, friendly and helpful. We chose an economy room, this was fine for us, but as its a mansard, dont get much of a view. Hotel is very clean we will certainly stay again.Sperlonga is a beautiful resort, we like it out of season, old town is beautiful and easy to get to from hotel.

Nice hotel but be aware of attack rooms - Bohème
I booked this hotel in Jan 2014 for a 9 day stay in Aug. On booking I had a choice of Standard or Superior room with King bed. I opted for the Superior Room because advanced booking the prices were very good. However when we arrived at the hotel we were given an attack "Boheme" room with approx 30cm window. We asked to be changed and as the hotel was full we ended up in 4 different rooms over our 9 day stay, spending 5 of these in the attack rooms. I feel that Expedia needs to include the "Boheme" as a separate room on their booking as on my paper work there was only mention of a King bed but on the paperwork the hotel had from Expedia it quoted a "Boheme". We knew of these "Boheme" rooms as we stayed in this hotel before, previously only booked a standard room but had a lovely room with a balcony. We are a couple in our 50's and while the rooms were well appointed and very clean, we had no desire to spend our stay it an attack room. We understood that the hotel was fully booked and at first they were helpful. But after 3 room changes we were told that this was the final change, only to be approached 2 days later while sitting at the pool to go back to the attack room for the final 4 days. We were given 5 mins to pack up and knowing that we were so upset they did give us an attack room with a bigger window. There was air cond. but it was still extremely hot.

Lovely clean Hotel we have now stayed 3 times The rooms are always clean and are made everyday. Pool area is lovely but could do with a few more sun loungers as they are normally all taken if you dont get down early in the morning The hotel provided beach is approx half a mile away and is a nice walk, but if you dont fancy walking the hotel provide a free transport every few hours.
