Location was ok but the rooms are very outdated as well as the hotel as a whole. Our room had a musty smell even after opening the balcony door and blasting the AC. Basically, you get what you pay for. It was clean and simply a place to sleep - however I would not book here again.

Wonderful balcony is star of show.
Beds were very flat and left a lot to be desired. The sheets however were a welcome refuge and were very soft and clean. The air conditioning worked wonderfully! The outlets in the room were not working and we had to use the one in the bathroom to charge everything. The hairdryer… stuck in the 80’s, however it did the job. Service is wonderful and the workers are very kind!

Hotel Virgilio, Tropea
This hotel is well placed, between the train station and town centre, making it really convenient (also has garage parking, something that is a real bonus in Tropea) while only a couple of minutes walk to the start of the Main Street and shops. Staff are friendly are the breakfast adequate. My single room was a ‘genuine’ single, very compact, but with balcony and a wonderful view, something rare for a single!

Fine hotel close to the centre as well as station
The hotel is located 5 minutes on foot from the railway station and from the centre, 10 minutes to the beach. It is an older hotel, but very well maintained. Room is of a reasonable size, has a balcony and a window in the bathroom. Breakfast is fine, standard 3* variety. At the beginning of October, unbeatable value for money ratio for my stay.

We chose this hotel purely on price and had no great expectations. So what a lovely surprise when we checked in. Not too far from the railway station and close to the centre of the old town, all the staff were friendly, helpful and courteous, particularly Vincenza who seemed to be a permanent fixture behind the reception desk. Our room was spacious clean and comfortable. The wifi reception was good and the buffet breakfast excellent. I could not recommend it more highly.

I often winge about the location and views from single rooms - not this time, I had a balcony with a sea view. The location is excellent between the station and centre of town and about two minutes walk from the Main Street. Very friendly staff. Only drawback was no secure luggage storage - simply leave luggage in the corner of the bar if you are leaving late in the day.

Nice hotel, limited options
Had a very nice time. Everyday the room was cleaned superbly, though there was a lack of ability to use WiFi throughout the hotel. Appart from the main lobby, by using their own personal WiFi. Breakfast was very limited, as there wasn't much hot food. Only warm croissants or the ability to get warm milk from the coffee dispenser. They do give you a fridge in your room but no kettle. No entertainment but that was cured by the surrounding area having countless restaurants and social gaverings. The view from my rooms balcony was amazing, as we got to overlook Tropea beach and watch the sunset. Though, there are unfortunate rooms that face a rather unflattering block of flats as my bathroom did. Very easy to get to from the train station and a couple minutes walk from the beach.

Great location
The hotel is very tired and needs up dating. The bathrooms especially and the lighting in the room was awful. It was all very dated and between the mattress and the pillow it was like sleeping on a concrete slab. Also our room was right opposite the cleaners store room which in turn disturbed our sleep as they start early and were noisy.Best thing about the hotel was the location. This hotel could be fabulous with a complete refurbishment.

Average hotel. What you would expect for the price
Average hotel. Staff were friendly but their English was not that good. Rooms were very dated, felt relatively clean and size was ok. Good location right near the centre of town. Make sure you use the garage offered by the hotel, our car was stolen off the street which caused all sorts for dramas!
