Virgilio Grand Hotel

"How did it strike you on arrival?This is a clean, modern hotel conveniently located a short walk from the beach and ideal for a short, one-to-two-night stay. What’s the crowd like?It draws budget-conscious travelers who want to be close to the beach and enjoy all the comforts of four-star accommodations. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.Rooms feature simple, modern furnishings, air conditioning (which isn't guaranteed at hotels in this area), a TV, and a minibar with complimentary soft drinks. The cheapest rooms have sloping mansard roofs that could be problematic for tall guests; the nicest rooms have a small terrace. Please tell us the bathroom won’t let us down.The bathrooms are equipped with hydromassage showers but no tubs. Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. What’s the word?Wifi is free throughout the property. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.The property has an outdoor pool and jacuzzi, which is a nice alternative if you get tired of the beach. A buffet breakfast is included in the rate. Bottom line: worth it, and why?This area isn't exactly awash in great boutique hotels or even reliable chains, and this property fills that gap. It's not a hotel anyone dreams of staying in, but it's a good option if you want to stay near Sperlonga's beaches." - Laura Itzkowitz
