Hotel Soleado Reviews

The good things: Friendly staff Within 30 minute walk to the Old City The not so good things: The photographs are very misleading. The photos of the pool show the hotel next door. About 10 sun loungers around a very small pool. Pool area used as a restaurant mainly not for enjoying the sun or pool. You have to pay for towels. Sun deck on fourth floor has no sun loungers. Completely empty. Photos of the reception are are misleading. Very small, old fashioned and in need of painting and modernization. Don't go by the photos. Everything dull and dreary. Bedroom had very basic furniture and old fashioned and badly in need of painting. Bed extremely hard and very uncomfortable. Bathroom had a plastic shower cubicle which you felt you would fall through and break it was that flimsily. One very small shower gel provided for the week. Had to buy our own in the supermarket. Air conditioning worked sporadically and ineffectively; sometimes even blowing warm air. At one stage it stopped working completely and staff had to be called. Ants appeared from the wall skirting and had to be cleaned up. It took three visits to reception to get the safe working. Problem with the sink outlet plug which had to be operated by hand as it was disconnected. No tea/coffee making available. No glasses for drinks, only plastic cups. These are not 4*standards! Maybe 2 -3* at a push. Overall a worn out hotel, badly in need of refurbishment, with poor amenities but 4* prices and very misleading photographs which show something completely different. And to cap it all at the end you pay €58 for city tax. Loved Alghero but would stay elsewhere if going there again. So beware!
