    There wasn't refrigerator and kettle ( plus mug or glasses for tea).

    The breakfast was more than I expected and the cleaning service was great.

    The walls of the rooms are quite thin and on this occasion the hotel was hosting a number of rather noisy workmen. Those in the room next door to us talked very loudly into the evening and also woke us in the morning before they left at 6am. This wasn't the hotel's fault of course. It is a very pleasant hotel and we will stay there again when we stop in Ventimiglia.

    We have stayed here before. The staff are very friendly and efficient. We like the fact that the hotel is quite near the station but also near restaurants. The breakfast room is light and airy and there is a good range of food available. Also the wifi is very good. It is excellent value for money.

    Ventimiglia is not the world's most appealing city. No reflection on the hotel itself though.

    Everything you could need for an overnight stay, not ruling out longer stays in the cheap gap between the French and Italian Rivieras.

    The Calypso is a small family run hotel in the center of town but on a very quiet side street. Staff is friendly and welcoming. The room and bathroom were spotless and well heated on this cold evening. Breakfast offers a selection of cold cuts and pastries. It is my hotel to go when I am transiting through Ventimiglia.

    Poor soundproofing. The inconsiderate guest in the next room was continually shouting into his phone or watching TV at a high sound level until the early hours. I also smelled the odour of cigarettes and suspected that some guests were illegally smoking.

    Good location. Within comfortable walking distance from train station, seafront, restaurants and the upper old town. Helpful and friendly staff. Comfortable room. Breakfast included. Overall good value.

    Soundproofing and/or loud guests but I'm a light sleeper. It does seem to be an older building but it is, after all in Italy!

    The location was great! Very central, close to the main streets of Ventimiglia and the beach. The staff were awesome, very friendly and helpful! Personally, the breakfast was varied with sweet buns, yogurt, a variety of cereals, cold cuts, cheese and fresh fruit! Very pleasantly surprised there! The room was on the smaller size but very clean. The added bonus of the small balcony and clothesline was much appreciated!

    Excellent location only a short walk away from the train station, restaurants, the seafront and the Friday market. The old town over the other side of the river, is also an easy walk away. The hotel is extremely clean and nice and bright. All the staff exude friendliness and without exception all very helpful.

    Might be cheaper.

    Good location, right between the railway station and the seaside. Nice and friendly staff. Clean and tidy room. Good breakfast for a hotel of this size. Nothing really to complain about. It may be a two star hotel nominally, but it is a really nice place to stay.

    There was no lift but we coped. I only mention this to point this out to others who may struggle but I am sure someone would help if needed.

    This was a nice place to stay and staff were friendly and helpful and we would definitely stay again if in the area.

    would be nice to have complementary water in the room fridge. Nothing to complain about though

    friendly staff, this hotel is an easy walk (with roller suitcase) from the train station, and a stroll from the beach. Good aircon and big bathroom, with a balcony overlooking the street. no elevator, so be aware you may need to lift luggage up several stairs. Decent breakfast with nice coffee. I had to stay an extra day and arranged late checkout no problem. A good, simple place to stay

    This hotel is a much better location than the last one I stayed in at Ventimiglia. It is near caffès, a gelateria that has really friendly staff, the beach and the railway station. It is a lovely little hotel with really nice rooms, comfortable beds and a very good breakfast with excellent service. I will definitely use it for my next stopover.
