Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to have a convenient location for exploring the northern parts of Alghero, but it was far from the town. The rooms remained quite hot throughout the day, and I had some difficulty with the noisy air-conditioning units. The service was friendly, though maybe a bit too eager at times. The dining options were available until late at night, but the breakfast selection was somewhat limited. The facilities were decent, and the small pool in the park was a nice addition.
Walking to breakfast through a wet lawn due to sprinklers can be a bit inconvenient, and there was a noticeable scent of raw sewage outside the room. However, the rooms were fine overall.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and comfy, but unfortunately, they were extremely noisy and didn't drain well, almost causing a shower flood. The location was lovely, surrounded by a nice park with olive trees and a swimming pool, although it was far from town. The service was top-notch, especially when they moved us to a quieter room and even offered free transportation to Sella and Mosca. The dining experience was pleasant, with a perfect morning breakfast at the same restaurant as the previous night's dinner. Despite these positives, the scent of sewage from outside was a major downside to an otherwise enjoyable experience.
The hotel has a lovely location, perfect for exploring the northern parts of Alghero. The rooms, while staying hot during the day, are spacious and comfortable. The service was a mix of overly friendly encounters and unhelpful moments. The dining options were limited but offered typical Italian dishes. The facilities provided were enjoyable but had some issues with noise and maintenance.
The hotel offers spacious rooms, but some noise disturbances from outside could be bothersome. The service is friendly and accommodating despite minor cleanliness issues, and the location is ideal for exploring the area. However, the dining and facilities have room for improvement.
The hotel is situated in a nice park with olive trees and a swimming pool, providing a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms lack sound isolation and struggle to cool below 25-26 degrees both day and night. The breakfast area is a separate building across a wet lawn due to sprinklers being left on overnight.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were decent, with adequate space for us and direct pool access, but the air conditioning was subpar as it wouldn't cool below 25-26 degrees. The service was exceptional, especially when they solved our room issues promptly and even provided a free ride to Sella and Mosca. The location was lovely, perfect for exploring northern Alghero, despite a few minor maintenance issues. The dining options were limited, making me wish for more variety. The facilities were satisfactory, with a pleasant pool area and other amenities.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay in a serene location with beautiful olive trees and a clean swimming pool. The rooms were fine but located in a separate building, requiring a morning walk over a wet lawn. While the service was very helpful and accommodating, the location is far from town, albeit perfect for exploring the northern parts of Alghero.

My stay at this hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were fine, the pool was nice, and the breakfast was good. However, the noise from the kitchen below was a bit bothersome, and the air-conditioning units were quite noisy too. The room remained quite hot during most of the day.
