Jeanne, Denmark

Location, 5 minuts from beaches, restaurants and the boat to la maddalena

Jeroen, Netherlands

We liked the size and cleanliness of our room - cool and airy with fresh sheets and towels each day. Breakfast was good - fairly good selection with fresh coffee on demand - any style you like. Liked the little cafe terrace at the front and side - nice place to sit for aperitif or after a day out at the beach. Nice friendly staff generally - helpful and approachable - from the breakfast room ladies to the cleaners and receptionists.

Emma, United Kingdom

Very decently renovated hotel in the centre of Palau. Though - very good sound insulation so no noise from the centre. We upgraded at a very reasonable price to a bigger room, and that one was very decent. Stayed for one night only, so can't say much about the walk to the beaches (they seemed close enough). Compared to the price madness just a few km south on Costa Smeralda, very decently priced.

T, Germany

Very good location and hotel with character. Very handy to have a garage under the hotel (for free ; very close by and you leave the car in the shade!). The triple room is spacious and bed comfortable. All The staff were very friendly and accommodating (before and during our stay).

Noura, Netherlands

Absolutely loved it, personnel is very helpful and friendly. The rooms are fantastic, very clean and well-equipped. Location is great as well, very close to the ferry to La Maddalena.

Marc-jan, Netherlands

The place has a nice Mediterranean vibe to it. Was near the Marina, which great, lots of food options and just near everything in the area. Room despite not having a view (which was what we booked) was spacious and comfortable! Staff were friendly and breakfast options good. Paid public parking is available right out front.

Nicolev_, Singapore

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, right next to the big public carpark which was free overnight. The ferry port was not far away either which allowed great access to La Maddalena.

S, New Zealand

Superb location, public parking right in front of the hotel. Nice hotel bar. Good breakfast.

Bas, Netherlands

Location extremely close to boat tours and restaurants

“relaxing time out away from the bustle of daily life - beautiful setting - we will be back!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Classic Double Room
- • Stayed 10 nights
눉It would have been nice to have really good food in the cafeteria - only a pizza and burger style menu - we had heard about Sardinia being a place for food lovers and hoped for a selection of good fresh food with plenty of fruit and vegetables. This wasn't just at the hotel but through Palau. car park is a gold mine for the town -would be great to have free parking for hotel or at least reduced cost
눇We liked the size and cleanliness of our room - cool and airy with fresh sheets and towels each day. Breakfast was good - fairly good selection with fresh coffee on demand - any style you like.

“A decent hotel in the centre of a town”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Classic Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Nothing really stands out, perhaps a note that the place is in the middle of the town - so not a remote peaceful oasis. But - if one looks for that and knows what one is booking (we did, and it was extremely practical) - this is not negative at all.
눇Very decently renovated hotel in the centre of Palau. Though - very good sound insulation so no noise from the centre. We upgraded at a very reasonable price to a bigger room, and that one was very decent. Stayed for one night only, so can't say much about the walk to the beaches (they seemed close enough).

“Convenient hotel for a tour around La Maddalena”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Classic Triple Room
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉The bathroom was a bit dirty. The air conditioning was broken in our room and this was not mentioned during check in. I think this should have been mentioned and some consideration provided especially since it was the hottest it had been in 15 years. When we realized it I spoke to the receptionist who told me we couldn't move rooms (they were allegedly full although it didn't appear to be so) and the repair man would be there the following day. We were told to open a window instead. I am disappointed at the lack of urgency with which the hotel handled this issue and the fact that they knew of this condition and did not mention it up front or try to accommodate us in some other way (for example with free parking, a meal, or a discount on the room rate).
눇Location extremely close to boat tours and restaurants

“Good hotel with room for improvement perfectly located at the Palau port”
- • Leisure trip

- • Junior Suite
- • Stayed 5 nights
눉A real balcony would have been nice, especially when booking a Junior Suite. The noise until late in the night coming from the restaurant / bar Il Grillo was really annoying.
눇The hotel is perfectly located at the Palau harbor so you are close to all the relevant activities, like sailing and the ferry to La Maddalena. The breakfast and the coffee were also good. We enjoyed the view on the port from the 6th floor of the Junior Suite.
