I don’t even know where to start with this review. I was born and grew up in this region before moving abroad and, if you are a local, it is a well-known fact that San Felice Circeo used to be a top destination in the 50’s and 60’s, but has since declined due to lack of investments and general care. This hotel is a prime example of it. I am sure it was fabulous 40 or 50 years ago, but when in that time you haven’t bothered renovating once or ensured your staff is properly trained, the result is simply disastrous. Add the unreasonable costs (we paid almost 300 euro for 2 nights), the staff’s arrogance and lack of care, and you’ve got a rip-off. Just a few memorable moments from our stay: - We arrived and entered the parking lot. On the right hand side were a lot of free ones, but it looked like they were not available. Indeed someone from the hotel directed us to the very (ugly) back of the hotel, where there was a last narrow slot available. The ground is gravel, so you can’t wheel luggages. He didn’t allow us to unload in front of the entrance, nor did he offer help. He showed us the slot and ran away, leaving us to deal with it. - The hall of the hotel is a like traveling back in time, and not in a good sense. The carpets and yellow couches are horrifying and, in all likelihood, haven’t been cleaned in decades. - The hallways where the rooms are located are straight out of the movie Shining, but ten times worse. - Shower head was rusty, no shower cabin but rather an old moldy curtain and the absolute certainty that everytime you take a shower, you will flood the entire room. - Hard bed, mold, dirt, damages everywhere in the room - as can be seen from the pictures. - Poor selection of food for breakfast. We asked 3 times for a coffee and it was never served. - Last but not least: the first night we went out and returned at around midnight. We parked next to the cars of other guests. There was a sign warning that they were shooting a movie and it was forbidden to park there until 10pm. It was well past the time and hotel staff saw us parking and said nothing, so we assumed we were good. At 1:30 IN THE NIGHT, staff rings at our door. Conversation unfolds like: Staff: “There is an emergency!” Us (alarmed): “What happened?” Staff: “You parked in the wrong spot. We are shooting a movie and your car is in the way. You have to move it!” Now: this is NOT an emergency. You don’t wake up people in the dead of night shouting there is an emergency, when the only thing that is out of place is your utter incompetence. My husband - alongside a dozen other guests, had to move the car so they could shoot. Was there a further apology? A compensation for the way they messed up - a discount on the rate, a glass of wine, literally anything?? No, like it never happened!! Sorry to say, but such places deserve to close because they simply ruin the reputation of the town. For such creepy accommodation I would pay 50 euro a night, not one cent more!

Siamo stati in questo hotel per la prima volta e ci siamo trovati molto bene. Parcheggio gratuito. Il personale gentile e disponibile in particolare la signorina Claudia della reception. Le stanze spaziose e pulite. Colazione al buffet. Spiaggia a pochi metri dall'albergo. Lo consiglio vivamente.
