"Superb hotel right opposite the marina in Cagliari. Great location, a few minutes walk from the main restaurant area, and easy access to the city centre, either on foot or by bus. We had a room overlooking the marina and main road, the double glazing was super-effective and cut out all the traffic noise. The air conditioning was excellent too. The whole hotel is spotlessly clean, with attractive modern decor. The staff at reception were welcoming, and couldn’t have been more helpful, absolutely brilliant! Breakfast was in keeping with the size of the hotel, a selection of cold meats, cheese, breads, and pastries. There was also the option of hot scrambled eggs with either smoked salmon or bacon, served to order, which we really appreciated, along with fresh coffee. The hotel is on the third floor, you reach reception via a lift at the side of the building. A great little hotel, where the guests are welcomed and nothing is too much trouble, well done Hotel Aristeo!"
