We stayed at the hotel 1 day before they were closing for the winter season.

The weather was beautiful. We had the whole hotel to ourselves and the service we experienced was fantastic.
The nearby restaurants are better than the hotel kitchen, but cant complain at all.

Excellent part of Italy and less crowded than further down the coast.

Amazing location, great pool!

Even if a little out dated, this little hidden gem of a hotel has a lot to offer. Nestled between the water front and Mount Circeo, it's not over crowded and seems to be more of an Italian get away (eg NOT touristy!!!!)

Our room looked out over the water and had a massive balcony, nice to fall asleep to the waves.

The pool area is fantastic with a massive pool, very well kept!!

There is one guy working in reception, who was made for hospitality. Kind, polite, professional, multi-lingual and very helpful.

The beds are not the softest, the rooms are not modern, it feels like you're walking into a flashback from the 90's perhaps. But the prices reflect this so it's all good. The pool and waterfront location make it a steal, really!

The location is convenient, you can walk to the harbor where you find many restaurants and the best little ice cream shop!!

Big yes for me!

Does not look anything like the photos on Expedia- minus the beautiful outdoor pool and oceanfront location, I felt like I was completely catfished. Very outdated and unhelpful staff. Will not help you book excursions or ferry rides…tells you to just “do it yourself”. The breakfast items are mostly packaged, stale croissants, and little to no dairy free options. Restaurant staff member, Monica, was particularly unkind and unpleasant to me during my stay. She kicked me out of my table as I was drinking tea alone because I didn’t order any food yet. I normally give the benefit of the doubt and always leave a positive review during my stays…I never want to leave reviews like this, but felt that if I could help the next person searching….it is well worth the warning. My fiancé and I have been to Sabaudia and San Felice Circeo now a few summers in a row — we love these towns! However, please save yourself and your money and stay elsewhere.

Beach side vacation.

Very nice older hotel that can use some updating. Very nice large pool with plenty of chairs. Beach is different. Walked off fort like narrow beach with a few beach chairs in the sand. Breakfast OK typical Italian breakfast buffet with fruit and salami and cheese. Not hot eggs or made to order omlets. A bit overpriced for the area and air conditioning in rooms could not get temp below 25c or 78 F but compared to 32c or 90 F outside it was bearable but we like to sleep in 70F so a bit uncomfortable at night.
Best thing was location. 5 minute walk to Port with lots of resteraunts and ferry to Ponza. Strongly recommend day trip to Ponza and then boat tour of island when you arrive.

Great Spot!

We enjoyed staying at Hotel Maga Circe.Our room was large and comfortable. The bath was also very large for an Italian hotel bathroom. The shower had good water pressure. The view from the terrace was amazing. The breakfast was good--the usual Italian breakfast buffet. We did not dine in the hotel. Service was good. The hotel is in fair condition. The pool area looked great although we did not go out there. Still a little chilly for us. The main parts of town (the old upper town and newer lower town) are not within walking distance. There are several other restaurants within walking distance. Wifi was not great.

Highly expected area because of the nature. Unfortunately everything was still in winter sleep.Hotel location ok at the seaside with view.

This hotel was quite lovely, but could have been extraordinary with a menu that catered to tourists with a few mainstream items. The hotel also seemed to need a little TLC. There were areas which needed painting and the furnishings could have been updated. But all in all, we loved the grounds, the close proximity to the water and the service was excellent.

Hotel needs renovation

I do NOT recommend booking family-room which are facing to the back, very small and air condition is not managing to properly cool down the rooms in particular on first floor (ground floor room felt a little better). Beds don't have a slatted frame but slid plywood with a rather simple mattress. They were way too hard for me. We moved to a ocean-facing 'Deluxe' room after the first night and the room was at least much larger, with small balcony. This made it more acceptable.
Pool was nice at least; filled with saltwater though you might need to get used to (however good for people who don't like chlorine).
Breakfast was acceptable but not really good. Restaurant for lunch and dinner was pretty good.
Staff was very friendly.

Very relaxing stay

Like many italian family hotels, Maga Circe hints at past splendour, built in the 1960s last major investment in the 1980s, it a wacky mix of styles.

The room was a sea view (don't skimp & go courtyard) with a balcony only yards from the sea. A large single door letting the outside in. The sea is loud and after the first night getting used it, thereafter restful & lulls you to sleep in seconds. The room was spotless and promptly serviced each day to a high standard. Yes, some of the fittings were worn but it added to the past splendour charm.

Pool area (towels provided) is fantastic with an abundance of sunbeds, so no need to go out at 6am to reserve one. The pool is large, kept immaculately clean, is saltwater and is cool to chilly. Key to cooling down after a session on the sunbed.

The food at the hotel was very good and at first I thought was pricey but all the food along this stretch of the coast is of a similar price. Plenty of restaurants close by if you wish to eat outside. If you like seafood then this is the town for you.

Staff great, good value for money, we had a very relaxing week - go on book and be charmed.

A real getaway!

A real gem - lovely rooms (with balconies), great views and a fantastic pool in a great location. The hotel has a very relaxing atmosphere, with very pleasant and efficient service. The room was spotless, due to the efforts of the very pleasant housekeeping staff. It's located beside a marina and a small mall which has a number of really great fish restaurants, which we frequented every night, although the hotel also had a good dinner menu. The pool is a great size, it's sea water and the terrace and garden is well serviced with sun-beds, parasols a small bar / coffee shop / ice-creams. It also benefits from lifeguard facilities (two at some times). We enjoyed very leisurely breakfasts and lunches on the terrace, with very prompt and attentive service from the staff, including Francesco, who recognising our poor Italian came to the rescue on more than one occasion to make sure our order was correct. The old town of San Felice in Circeo is a few miles away (up the mountain ... and worth the trip), whilst the new town is also a short drive away (5/10 minutes). We will definitely be back!

Nell'insieme bell'albergo con piscina e bar a bordo vasca, anche se, a mio parere, quattro stelle sono un po' troppe:
1) Nella camera non c'è una presa di corrente vicino alla scrivania/scrittoio, per cui non è possibile ricaricare il computer mentre lo si utilizza, inoltre manca anche un punto luce, per cui di sera la scrivania/scrittoio diventa praticamente inutilizzabile.
2) Mancano delle luci di lettura alla spalliera del letto, che consentano di poter leggere senza dare fastidio al partner come avviene con le applique.
3) Nel buffet della colazione mancano alimenti freschi e tipicità locali (miele, marmellate, yogurt non confezionati, affettati e formaggi artigianali).
4) Mancano i prezzi delle bevande presenti nel minibar ed inoltre non vengono forniti gli scontrini delle consumazioni extra per una verifica degli addebiti.

La tassa di soggiorno attualmente è di € 2,00 per persona a notte!

Top 5 dei peggiori hotel

Struttura che avrebbe un potenziale incredibile ma si vede che e trascurata da molti anni tutto sembra rimasto indietro di 50 anni, la stanza a noi assegnata era piccola e non confortevole rumorosa e piena di zanzare che hanno reso impossibile dormire, la colazione di scarsa qualità e inoltre con dei extra a pagamento (uova strapazzate e altro) il check in e check out lento all’inverosimile. Per lavoro passo circa 200 notti all’anno per alberghi e con mio dispiacere se posso stilare una classifica metterei questo hotel nella top 5 dei peggiori alberghi mai visitati.
