  Horrible! No A/C, stained sheets, dirty walls. Bathroom falling apart.

  14 Sept 2024

  The Hotel had decent reviews on Hotels.com and advertised air conditioning under the amenities. However, we were surprised to find out they do not have AC between 12 AM and 1 PM. That's 13 hours!!! To make things worse, the AC didn't even work when it was supposed to. We aren’t trying to be “difficult” Americans. We have stayed at various hotels and AirBNBs that did not have air conditioning, but the temperatures were cooler or you could sleep with the windows open without worrying about your small child falling numerous stories down. Also, I would like to add that due to the location of this hotel, we had lots of street noise that also kept us up with the open windows. Also, the sheets were stained, walls were dirty and bathroom was in disrepair. The only good thing we can say is that the ladies in the breakfast area were quite nice. Unless you plan on going in the winter and do not mind an outdated hotel, we definitely do not recommend.

  Outdated, but cosy

  17 Oct 2023

  The hotel is relatively central and located in a residential area. The building and the area breathes the early 80s and indeed, also the room was having those characteristics.The reception is not hyper modern, but welcoming. The staff very kind and available. We went to our room and the room was relatively spacious, with two simple beds, a nighttable, a desk, tv, a kitchenett hidden in a wardrobe. There was also a quite large balcony, with a decent view over the area (but disturbed by the cars noise). When entering the room, one entered a small hall with a decently spacious wardrobe, and in fron, the bathroom with a shower.The bathroom had plenty of towels and all needed for a shower, not much space to put things on. It was having a very strong touch from the beginning of the 80s if we talk of style. Everything was quite clean, but it is clear that everything is a bit outdated. The furniture was a bit torn.The first night there was not exactly calm. Without closing the door to the entry, one could hear plenty of movements in the corridor. The A/C was very noisy and the fridge from the kitchen was not quiet either. The second night I turned off the A/C, closed the door, and moved slightly the fridge so it stop muttering.The breakfast was very italian - but also very cosy in a sense. One could order all sort of morning beverage from the bar. The cappuccino was outstanding and the staff incredibly kind.The food was mostly prepacked items, except for some fresh pastries. There was also gluten-free items, a decent choice of them. Three different juices were available (but they felt quite artificial), it was possible to get toast, some ham and cheese, if one wanted and fruit. Considering location/parking/atmosphere, I think the hotel was a little bit expensive. Considering the "cosyness" one was getting after a while, it was probably well deserved. The hotel had also tennis fields and an indoor pool (and a gym, I think). But we didn't try any of these. The tennis court seemed quite popular.

  Disappointed

  06 Apr 2023

  I was disappointed from my experience here. The gym and pool were closed & I was told that it was due to Covid- that should be advertised on their website. The WiFi didn't work in the bedroom and the walls are so thin, it felt like the screaming children running down the halls at 2am and 7am were in my room. The shower door was also broken in the bathroom and although the staff were lovely at breakfast, the breakfast itself wasn't good.

  Very good hotel for a short stay

  07 Aug 2019

  Good location and price. Very nice and flexible service - a very early breakfast was prepared especially for us. Room clean and large. The windows overlook a fast-moving route but it doesn't bother if it's a short transit stay.

  Clean 70's vibe

  09 May 2019

  Despite the below, we actually really enjoyed our stay in Cagliari. The Poetto beach is beautiful and easy to get too (ask at reception for a bus ticket, is 1 euro 30 and you need to get 2 x buses but its worth the trip!) and the pizza place at the bottom of the road is reasonably priced and they're quick as well! which is great, especially if you've had a forced fast thrust upon you because you turned up on Italian labour day and EVERYWHERE was closed. We asked for a mountain view room, and while we got this, unfortunately this also included a stunning view of one of the main flyover motorways that runs through Cagliari and almost our bedroom window. The hotel room itself is very clean and tidy however it does look like it was furnished in 1970s and the owners liked it so much, they've never ever changed it. The bathroom is bright green wall and floor tile and we recommend you don't look at your reflection in the bathroom mirror because it might be the most unflattering lighting you've ever seen. Shower is powerful but don't trust the shower door - the gentleman from reception had to free me in my shower cap and towel from the lime green ceramic nightmare. He was very nice though. The room was also very cold, and the heating/air con didn't work at all no matter how much we pleaded with it. Take a hoodie, or nick your loved ones. The beds are also very uncomfortable but do come with a weird army issued bed fleece - maybe this ties into the 70s theme, I'm not sure. Breakfast is quite nice and they have a large selection available. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly so for that, i'll give them 3 points!House Keeping did steal my bar of Milka though, they lost a point for a that.
