Lovely hotel

Lovely hotel with very helpful staff, they went out of their way to help us, about 10min walk to the old town overlooked the rocky beach side of a Alghero.There was a lovely patio area at the front of the hotel with seating and they brought a TV out for those watching the Euros The only downside was regarding breakfast(plentiful), but hubby disappointed with the bacon,just strips of fat,and reconstituted scrambled egg, however we still found other things to eat, The shower in our room was a little small and old, and dated, but had good air-conditioning ,that aside were really enjoyed our stay in this lovely hotel

The hotel location is great. Old city, restaurants, pubs, shops are close, you can grt there by walking. Our room was cleaning everyday and towels were changed. On the breakfast were buffet, everything was fresh, but i'm used to eat for breakfast more fresh vegetables not from the jar. I hope one day they will revolute their kitchen and create their regional food desk. All personnel were for us very nice, frindly and helpful. With parking we didn't have problem, we have park rental car on the street. Looks like safe place.

Ok but not as advertised

On hotels.com, it lists it as a hotel, it it’s really an apartment room with a shared space. No one was there to check us in, the breakfast had largely been eaten by 8, and it’s the equivalent of about 5 flights of stairs up. That said, if you know all this in advance it’s not bad, and a great location

Good value for money, quiet.

We stayed here for a couple of nights before cycling to Bosa. The hotel is really well located just outside the old town so nice and quiet at night. About 5-10mins walk into town. Staff were really nice and helpful, the rooms were perfectly fine. Breakfast could be better (no fresh fruit) but no big issue. Nice view over the sea from the breakfast room!

Excellent care for the disabled.

We were given a ground floor room opening up to a pretty garden. It was perfect for someone who is sight impaired. The staff had extremely positive attitudes to match.

Good enough for the price/location.

Good enough for a 3 star Italian hotel in a resort town, but the shower door did not shut properly and the shower itself was a little small to really rinse off after a day at the beach. Also the breakfast left a bit of an artifcial taste in the mouth, which is a shame considering the quality of the food in Sardinia.

Nice Place to use as a base to see the sights

Well located, rooms clean, well maintained, and servicable. The real advantage is its location by the city and the ocean. It is a good place for sleeping and then seeing the sights. Our room was very noisy, apparently close to where the staff would take their rest breaks.

Great stay

Lovely Hotel. Very friendly and extremely helpful staff. Good location close to the old town, although we had to ask at the Tourist Info office for directions but they we're happy to oblige. Highly recommend the bicycle rental from the Hotel, best way to see Alghero and surrounding beaches.
