"The views and calm quality of this hotel are truly exceptional. Staff that were very busy but always helpful and pleasant.
The hotel and it's grounds are large enough to never feel you're ontop of others.
As a swimmer, I loved the access to such pristine water."
"The breakfast menu was buffet, with standards such as yogurt. There weren't any eggs, but there was cheese and ham.
The staff was wonderful and answered all questions and gave great advice for restaurants. They also arranged a taxi to sasari.
The only small disappointment was that there were no spa amenities included with the room. For example, in order to use a hot tub you had to rent it for an hour for 50 euros."
"One night stay with family. Second time I was at this hotel but have stayed at many other hotels in Alghero prior to this one. I would characterise this hotel as probably the best option in central Alghero for those who are budget conscious. Staff are friendly and helpful, rooms are clean and big enough, quiet hotel at night. Those who have shallow sleep like me will appreciate the shutters, which are very effective to keep out the morning sunlight. There is a bit to walk to get to where the movida is (piazza sulis and beyond) but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Breakfast is where I see room for improvement: options are limited and the breakfast room is rather tiny. It works for one night stays but may negatively affect the hotel experience for those staying for longer."
"We got a junior suite with the balcony and the view alone was worth it. Loved the proximity to old town and the bed was comfortable. The front desk was friendly, and I was glad they had a breakfast buffet. It was eggs, meat, pastries, coffee - so pretty substantial. The parking was in an offsite garage about a 5-8 minute walk from the hotel and it was a little difficult to get in and out of, but I was glad they had parking. I would stay here again."
