Hotels Near Torre e Forte della Maddalena in Alghero

Positive experience and which met expectations. Spacious rooms with private bathroom. A little noisy and busy road but very good location with respect to the sea and the center of Alghero. Honest owners and available to customers' needs.

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, ideale anche in inverno per viaggi di lavoro. Colazione ottima, pulizia idem, personale molto professionale.

I had an amazing stay at Catalunya Hotel. The rooms were spotless and comfortable. The restaurant served typical dishes, with fresh ingredients and impeccable service. Overall, the hospitality and attention to detail made my stay comfortable. Highly recommended!

I booked this hotel for a one night stay in a June through **********. My husband and I were flying into Alghero in the evening and leaving the next morning for other sites in Sardinia. Our flight was delayed and I emailed the hotel from the airport telling them we would be arriving rather late, around 10:30. When we arrived, there was no one there. We rang the bell and no one answered we called the number posted on the door for assistance for over 40 minutes and nobody answered the phone. We had no choice but to leave and find another place to stay - luckily we did. I phoned ********** who spoke with the hotel - they would not refund our pre-paid money for our stay. This was terrible service in my mind both from the hotel, and from **********. I have the record in my phone of the phone calls, and photos showing I was at the hotel. Still they saw fit to charge me for a room I did not use, even when I gave them as much advance notice as I could about the late arrival. I travel a lot for work and personally and have honestly never had such a terrible experience. I will not be using ********** anymore and certainly can’t recommend this establishment.

We stayed 4 nights and the only two positive notes of the hotel are the central and very convenient location and the very courteous staff. From the photos I had very high expectations which were completely disappointed. We were assigned a room with a window that overlooked an extra wall covered by scaffolding which made it very dark. The furnishings leave much to be desired as they are dated and an unpleasant smell inside the room. On the second day we used the room cleaning service and the bubble bath was not replaced. For what we paid I expected a lot more considering that breakfast was not included in the price either.

Chose the rooms (it is not a guest house) based on location. Overall the place was clean and functional but there are some problems. Firstly it is impossible to drive to the property and drop off luggage. You need to find a paid parking place and walk with your luggage. This could mean walking up to 1 mile depending on parking location. Secondly we booked a room with private bathroom, but on arrival discovered that it was across a corridor and required unlocking doors. Thirdly the owner is so concerned about the a/c being left on that he has added a key. As the keys are all on one ring, you cannot be in the bathroom with the door locked without switching off the a/c and locking bedroom door. A completely unsatisfactory solution. Fourthly, the property seems to lack any fire prevention or detectors. This is really more a collection of rooms in an apar**ent rather than a guest house (as described). Bottom line is the location is great once you are in the property but the negatives were never shared in advance. Nor did the owner seem to care.

The Carlis V in Alghero is definitely not a 5 star hotel. I will say that most of the staff were friendly, the rooms are spacious enough and the view is lovely ( but you pay a hefty price for it ). We always stay in 5 star hotels , but the standards here are certainly not worthy of a 5 star. There was no porter to carry a suitcase , the rooms were quite basic in design, the television remote worked only occasionally, there were plastic cups in the bathroom , a strong smell of sewerage in our corridor and the menu was very limited. All fairly small things really that you could overlook once you settle in , considering the small amount of time you actually spend there , while out sight seeing what is a beautiful town. ( Even though for a 6 night stay costing over 3000e , I would expect a higher standard. ) What really disappointed us was an incident which occurred on the final evening. We had a rented car which we parked each evening in the hotel's small 20 space carpark. On our return from an afternoons outing , we turned into the car park to be greeted with tape around all the spaces. The desk manager then came running out and starting shouting at us that we couldn't park there , as it was reserved for the porsche car club who were arriving with their cars shortly. He was extremely rude and told us and other guests that we had to find a parking space on the public road . No parking for us mere mortals who probably had paid a higher premium than a group rate that a club or group might have received. So all other guests who were parked there , were also told to leave. This , really irked us enough to complain, to no avail. In the Irish hospitality business, this would be totally unacceptable. I would comfortably say that this is maybe 4 star , but probably below this rating , but I can definitely say , we would not stay here again. In fact we visited two other 4 star hotels very near here and down on the new town opposite the beach , that looked to be of higher standard. Very disappointing service and one very rude staff member.

The staff are certainly friendly and try hard to help. The room was clean, well air conditioned and the bed was comfortable. These positives elements aside, what lets down this hotel are the following: The breakfast was rather dire, having a very limited selection. Cold cuts of ham, plus tasteless rubbery cheese slices. They couldn’t even fry an egg (we asked) and, egg wise, all that was available was scrambled. The bacon strips could be used to re-sole one’s shoes. The croissants were rock hard (one can only guess that they were cooked the day previously). The hotel’s restaurant is not open on Sunday (probably just as well, if the breakfast is anything to go by) and there are seemingly very limited options to have food delivered from vendors outside (with pretty much all closed on a Sunday. That said, Deliveroo worked but took ages along with very limited options and when that food did arrive it was stone cold). It also seems that the hotel only has one iron and no ironing board (thus the corner of ones bed had to substitute for an ironing board). Only one small lift. No pool.
