"The positives were: Lovely pool. Great pool bar/cafe. Very clean hotel. Good breakfast. No trouble parking in the hotel car park. Walking distance to some good restaurants. The negatives: surly staff, paper thin walls which meant you could hear everything from the other rooms which made sleeping difficult. Rather too far from the old town to walk, so we had to drive"

8/10 Good
"The hotel is Ok , but I was expecting more from a 5 star hotel. The service was not 5 star as several times the first answer was always NO , until a second person from the staff heard what was happening and came “for the rescue”. The furniture needs renovation, the sofas in the rooms and lobby look really old , the bed covers look extremely old and have to be changed, they give a really first bad impression the first time you enter the room. The breakfast is Ok but no so special for a 5 star hotel. The location is not bad , 15-20 minutes walk to the historic center where most of the life is . There are no many hotel options in Alghero but this is no reason for a “5 star” hotel not to excel."
