    One night unexpected further exploration from Olbia to see some of the small islands. Will stay longer next time. Well situated off ferry, last minute, kind woman, Nicole, at desk. I needed a phone charger, toothbrush and both were offered. Breakfast 👍🏼.

    It‘s directly on the Main Street vis a vis the ferry boats and for that reason relatively loud during the hole night. Sleeping with open windows is quite difficult.

    Bed was a little hard but that is just my preference

    My husband had stayed at this property 40+ years ago when he was stationed here with the Navy. The hotel was up-to-date but still charming. We had a view of the sea and the included breakfast was delicious

    Location was excellent. Right in front of the Ferry entry/exit and perfectly located near restaurants /laundry service and the quaint streets of La Maddalena. It's a great place to base yourself as you explore the archipelago and adjoining Caprera island. Davido was an excellent at reception, helping us above and beyond when we had an issue with our passports. The breakfast served each morning was generous with the most beautiful sunrise view. We had a very enjoyable stay here and we will return.

    Didn’ t like the breakfast. For a four stars hotel is VERY poor. And the plates with cheese and meat were almost empty at 8.30 am. There were some cherry tomatoes (like 5-6) and they were damaged, looked bad, couldn’t eat. And then, we asked for some melon and grapes, because the bowl was empty. It was very annoyng for us to ask for different food and fruits.

    The room is very nice, clean and cosy. Bed was very confortable. Personell was very nice and gave us suggestions about restaurants and beaches.

    Really a small thing, and I appreciate the gesture, but cleaning is actually too thorough. In my opinion it should always be optional. At least the towels shouldn't be changed daily if not specifically requested. The same goes for the linen. It is unnecessary and not environmentally friendly. Also if a guest uses the complimentary shower gel once, it really isn't necessary to replace it with a new one. ;)

    The location couldn't be better; just across the street from the Palau ferry. Super nice and friendly front desk staff, felt so welcome all the time! The breakfast room with an open wall facing the port is great; such a nice way to start the day. The selection is great as well! Though coffee is served to the tables, so I wish there was at least filter coffee option as self service. Easier for us whose minimum coffee cup size is Starbucks tall. :) A great stay all in all, grazie!

    Nothing to mention

    1. Great location; just in the port, opposite to the ferry and very close to the bus station, to a supermarket, and to the boats leaving for daily cruises. 2. Staff is friendly and very helpful. I was very happy to meet Maria Luisa at the reception. She was very polite and helpful in all cases. 3. Breakfast is very good served in the terrace with port view

    The mattress and pillows were a bit too hard for me as I'm petite. The price could've been more affordable...

    Very adequate 4 stars rating: clean hotel in prime location, very helpful and speaking communicative English staff, good selection of fresh breakfast products and tasty coffee. Smooth wifi for unlimited devices. Very good aircon. Beach towel to rent €4, umbrella for free. Mini bar charged per item. Public buses €1,5 take you to the beaches on the island.

    I would say that the room is a bit expensive for one night but there is limited offer on the island and prices are high everywhere in August.

    Best location in La Maddalena. The staff was really friendly and gave us many recommendations for beaches and restaurants.

    The too small size of the room does not agree with the price of the room as a standard obe. Inside of the closet all the hangers were dusty and we had to clean them. We had to go and ask twice for the extra shower gel because both nights of our overnight stay provided quantity for one person instead of two

    We loved the central position close to everything, the kindness of the stuff that recommended us excellent beaches. We appreciated the cleanliness, the breakfast and the view from the terrace of the ships on the harbor
