2/3 star hotel with 5 star costs. Stayed at similar (views/central) Cagliari), same cost yet better
Pros:

Proximity to beach and view from room, room had balcony

Everything else. Plastic ‘glasses’, no dedicated shampoo/conditioner or other amenity, no pool/beach towels provided, linoleum floors, nil secure storage facility for luggage, parking facilities. Attitude of staff (some), non inclusion of breakfast (for dollars paid).

Alghero Hotel
Pros:

The staff at the front desk were all amazing, very helpful. The pool was fantastic with loungers and chairs and tables to sit and relax by the pool with a drink. Close to town, a 15 min walk or they have a free shuttle that leaves every 15 min. They also have some nice displays of coral jewelery you can purchase at the front desk.

Cons:

The Hotel beach was full of rocks and seaweed, not good for swimming. Beds and pillow's were very hard.

Todo genial !
Pros:

La ubicación perfecta y la limpieza, la playa privada bastante sucia , pero la piscina súper bien, pero también es cierto que ir a Sardenya no es para quedarte en la playa del
Hotel , así que la valoración es para todo el resto.

Cons:

El desayuno bastante flojo.

Pésima experiencia, no es relación precio calidad, no es un hotel 4 estrellas, no volvería ni lo recomendaría.
Pros:

Lo único que se puede destacar es el servicio de traslado al centro de la ciudad

Cons:

No hacen las camas, ponen vasos plásticos y no los cambian, las instalaciones muy malas y antiguas (secador de pelo y refrigerador malo) no te dan hielo y te lo venden al igual que las toallas de playa, experiencia no grata.
