Grand Hotel La Playa

Worst mistake .. this hotel is horrible. Everything is stuck in the 70s no one is smiling people are not friendly they even forget to give me my passeport back when I left.. the design is horrible and everything look cheap.. the pillows are so flat that I had to stuck 3 to have a descent height ! I was hoping to have a room with view on the see (for the very expensive price) but as you can’t choose on line I end up in the basement with a view on a ugly garden.. the hotel is far from the cute village and the pool is not nice. The worst part is maybe the shower that is either too hot or too cold but never chill.. and it alternate! Plus the shower is so small that you can’t even open the door 🤣! To finish .. the noise.. extremely noisy! No one care! At 8 am you can already hear the cleaning lady screaming on their Walky talky talking load even entering in the door without knocking even if you scream that you are still inside they don’t bother.. nightmare. I won’t mention the breakfast.. disgusting, even the coffee is not drinkable.. I would even not give 1 star to this sad hotel where no one care about anything.

SI DA QUESTO VOTO SOLO PER LA POSIZIONE E PER LA VISTA ECCEZIONALI, MA NON ESSENDO QUESTI DELLA STRUTTURA VA DETTO CHE LA PROPRIETA' SEMBRA NON VOLER CHE GLI OSPITI RITORNINO. COLAZIONE PESSIMA CON INSETTI CHE VOLAVANO OVUNQUE CAMERA VECCHIA E NON CERTO DELLA CATEGORIA E DEL PREZZO RICHIESTO SI CONSIGLIA UN CAMBIO DI GESTIONE DELLA STRUTTURA

I spent a one-week holiday with my daughter. I was concerned for her as not sure she could have a good time. Although, I found a lovely environment and atmosphere where we had a lot of fun with other guests and staff in the pool and at the beach. On the 14th of August, the hotel organised an amazing evening for the typical mid-August bank holiday (Ferragosto) which was truly amazing, with great food and fun. Will be back soon as I already booked another week in September for me and my daughter. Can’t wait

We had a great time at La Playa Hotel in Sperlonga this summer. We enjoyed the private beach and the amazing sunset from the terrace. The Hotel offers a private pool. We will definitely be back soon.

Not really a tourist Hotel, geared for Italians. Would not return because- So hot inside public areas they don’t turn on the air conditioning. Breakfast very basic, intermittent internet, fridge in room dirty and we had the best room on level 4. No tea/coffee making facilities,plastic cups in bedroom not changed all week,no proper beach bar. Empty - no one uses inside bar area and nobody behind bar only occasionally. This was mid/late June. Had to get some laundry done a facility they don’t provide but they sent it off with the hotels laundry- returned not ironed. Staff are pleasant, beach lovely, lift great.

Nice hotel, amazing placement and helpfull staff! We really enjoyed our stay. The beach was clean, simple but nice breakfast, pretty pool area. Really instagrammable hotel. Walking distance to supermarket!

QUATTRO STELLE REGALATE! Maleducati, scortesi, poco professionali. Unica nota positiva la posizione. Ma i costi sono esageratamente alti rispetto all' offerta. Stanze vecchie che necessitano di essere rinnovate. Colazione appena sufficiente. Sul personale, specialmente quello della reception stendiamo un velo pietoso. GIRATE A LARGO. POTETE TROVARE DI MEGLIO A PREZZI PIÙ BASSI.

This hotel could be so nice if the owners made an effort and bring it upto date as its in a timewarp between the 1960.s+80.s Its setting on the beach is the only positive i can give it+the staff/cleaners who do as good a job as possible with limited resources,otherwise its a total shambles as the hotel seems to operate on bare minimum staff to save costs thus any service is almost non existent,the wifi is awful,the tiled pool area is dangerously slippy. They seem to allow dogs to stay which is a complete NO NO as the owners end up leaving the dogs in their room barking whilst they go enjoy the beach so you have barking all around the hotel grounds throughout the day+unhappy neglected pets !!!! Unfortunately this hotel is as bad as it gets + from the other negative reviews i hope the owners take note rather than hide their heads in the sand+it definetely isnt a 4 star hotel as advertised, 2 stars at best+thats being very generous !

My family and I spent a week at this hotel in July 2022. It is a charming yet out-dated hotel, with small rooms, springy small beds with hard flat pillows and tiny bathrooms (As a normal sized, some may even say slim, woman of 173cm, I barely fit into the shower); no bathtub. We had the ‘Sea-view suite’ on the top floor, which had one bathroom, two bedrooms and an ocean-facing balcony; apparently the nicest room in the hotel. It is sweetly furnished with red shabby chic drawers and has a safe and a mini fridge. We had to unplug our nightside lamps to charge any devices. Lovely view though and balcony has a drying rack. Reception was friendly and helpful throughout our stay until the end... Unfortunately, I had a number of bad experiences during this week. The woman in the pool concessions hut who sells beverages and ice cream to the hotel guests at the pool and beach, was quite snippy when I tried to (apologetically) order a cappuccino and ice creams in English. She apparently did not understand the words ‘ice cream’, and looked at me like ‘*** do you want?’ until I said ‘gelato’ and then she threw one in front of me. When I managed a ‘due per favore’, she tossed out another one. The ‘cappuccino’ I asked for was in a giant paper cup filled to the brink with 95% boiling hot milk, a coffee flavoured large hot milk. It was so gross that I couldn’t drink any of it. Italians know how to make cappuccinos, you cannot tell me otherwise – this was a passive-aggressive cappuccino. Obviously, I did not buy from her again. There is a much friendlier and English-speaking concession hut (with yummy smoothies) just over the fence on the public part of the beach to the left of the hotel. The first morning my kids and I went out to the hotel beach. We didn’t see the beach- chair-guy anywhere and since there were plenty of empty chairs and umbrellas, we just dropped our stuff on one set in the front row. Minutes later, a very put out elderly Italian lady showed up accompanied by the beach-guy, who scolded us that we could not just take her umbrella and chairs, they were hers and hers only. She seemed nearly hysterical about our stuff being on her chairs so I hurriedly and apologetically removed everything. I explained to the beach-guy that it was our first day and we had no idea what the accepted procedure is and had not seen him anywhere upon arrival at the beach. Once he realised that not only were we guests at the hotel, but also occupied the hotel’s best rooms and therefore had umbrella and chairs assigned to us in the elite and sought-after first row, he turned friendlier. He smiled broadly and pointed out our chairs. Fine. This incident can be forgiven due to the fact that Sperlonga is a mostly Italian holiday resort with not too many foreigners. Every Italian understands the politics of the umbrella and beach chairs since birth. One may never under any circumstances occupy another’s chairs even if that person decides not to go to the beach at all that d
