Hotel Villa Igea

We had a great stay. The view, room, facilities were wonderful. The hotel staff were very supportive. They really helped us out in sorting out some local logistics.

Despite some of the negative reviews we read before we came the hotel is perfect for exploring the Amalfi coast. It is right by the Bagni Regina Ginovia which is a very popular tourist spot and there is a little shop opposite with the most delicious sandwiches which are very reasonably priced. It is located a little out of the town but there is a free shuttle bus which takes you in and picks you up. We used this a lot when we stayed. There is also a bus stop right next to the hotel which you can get if the free shuttle times don't suit you. Tickets only cost €1.50 from the shop across the road. The staff are so helpful and friendly, the rooms are well appointed if a little tired, there is a safe and a little fridge in the room and the air con is a welcome relief from the heat in the summer. The food for breakfast and dinner was delicious. There is a pool which has a pool bar and there are plenty of sun beds which you do not have to reserve at all. We went to the pool at several different times and there were always plenty of sun beds to choose from. We loved staying here and whilst the hotel may look a bit shabby it is one of friendliest hotels we have stayed at and we will book again.

"This hotel is extremely disgusting, with a terrible odor, and the staff, especially the receptionists, are very disappointing. They are arrogant and only interested in taking your money without providing any value. It’s simply not worth the cost. The rooms either have a bad smell, are noisy, or the air conditioning is broken, and the breakfast is very sparse. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Absolutely hated this hotel! Not worth the money or time spent getting there. We have been travelling around Europe for 2 months and have stayed in some pretty questionable places but this by far takes the cake! It was awful! Horrible bed, horrible bathroom and even worse staff! The bed was like sleeping on a plank of wood and we were given 2 single beds instead of double which we had booked and paid for. The bathroom was old and awful. The shower flooded every time as the drain did not work. The hotel itself does not make sense and it’s not clear which lift to take or what stairs to take. It is very old and dingy and stinks like smoke everywhere. The staff went through our room when we put the do not disturb sign on… we could see our things had been moved and clearly rifled through! The receptionist on check out was so rude. He disputed the bill with us as we were being charged for the food in room 126 (we were room 128). We showed him the items which were not ours and his only response was “I was not in the kitchen so I do not know”. He ended up pulling the receipt/ticket out which clearly showed room 126 but he insisted it was an 8 not a 6. We ended up having to pay the entire bill of €75.00 otherwise he would not let us check out.

The food was awful! There was no variety or choice on the menu. The rooms were in need of redecorating and were damp with mould! Stains on linen. Pool disgusting and not useable. The whole hotel needs a total revamp and decoration.
