We stayed here in June 2016 as a couple in our late 30s with no children for a week. We found our stay peaceful and well located just a few mins walk to beautiful white sand and very clean Maria Pia Beach. There is a large supermarket round the corner a few streets away ie 10 mins walking distance, do not bother with the campsite one across the road, unless its small items as its very small in size so limited and expensive compared to the supermarket where you can get a coffee and a beer! it has this little bar area as you walk in on the left. Supermarket offers the usual stuff but we were impressed with the good selection of fruit and veg, cheese etc and lovely crusty bread rolls to make your lunch. Ask reception for the address.||||We stayed on the second floor over looking the swimming pool. If you are worried about noise I would recommend overlooking the pool to avoid any street noise which there is very little, we did not notice it, its a quiet road anyway. We thought the staff were lovely and friendly, they are open for a couple of hours in the morning and then in the afternoon. We were happy to let ourselves in on arriving with the key being left on the notice board and saw the reception staff later that day. ||||The grounds are well maintained and have shade from the heat with trees and gorgeous flowers. The pool is large and good for swimming lengths. There are enough sun loungers but bring your towel for comfort. The pool can get busy if kids are around but we always managed to have a swim and were really impressed with how clean it was every day. ||||We LOVED the resident strawberry blonde cat who is looked after by the owners and can be found around the grounds. He is one of the most beautiful and friendly cats I have seen. Great if you love animals and I noticed both adults and children gravitated towards him. It was a delight to see him every day, and I do hope he continues his life with the owners. ||||Our apartment was really clean and spacious, it was cleaned once in our stay with new towels put out and we were very happy with this. We chose the two bedroom apartment that can sleep I believe 6 people, with two on a sofa bed in the living room. We were booked to stay just one week and the second week at a hotel near by but we were so unhappy at the hotel down the road that after two days we came back and asked if we could have an apartment and were thrilled to be able to stay again in our apartment! ||||We had no issue with the shower over flowing or it being small, nor did we get really noisy people upstairs. Yes you can hear chairs being scraped, some muffled voices and people walking around so perhaps getting better sound insulation in the flooring is a suggestion. I have read the critiques and I feel that you have to appreciate what good value, quality the apartment offers and accept that being in a block of apartments you will hear some noise. If there are really loud nosiy people, tell the reception staff to have a word with them. I'm really noise sensitive but I slept well even being heavily pregnant. If any noise is a major concern ask for a top floor ie third floor apartment. We cant...
Read moreI ended up here after choosing a holiday trip with undefined accommodation. The location is good regarding the beach and the bus stop. After high season buses run infrequently and unreliably and the last bus from Old Town is scheduled before 21.00 ( 9 PM) Both bus lines AF and AP come close to the hotel, but the tourist information office nor the landlady mention it. Taxi cost 8 EUR when I once used it.||||To get to the nearest grocery store you need a brisk 10 minute walk and the Old Town is 30 minutes away. Two-way cycleway runs opposite the hotel and leads to the old town, the nearest bike rental shop 10 minutes walk (near the grocery store). On Wednesday mornings there is an open market near the hotel and there you can make a good bargain.||||Garbage must be emptied to rubbish bins outside hotel premises but more detailed instructions on their location does not exist. Dishes are assumed to be clean when you check out of the apartment. Notice: Check out time is 10 AM.||||For cooking there is sufficient category of utensils. Sheets and towels were changed once during the week. On the notice board was a note telling about the WiFi to be out of order but I guess it was, after all, working well in the living room of the apartment (but not in the bedroom). Different plugs in electric devices than in my country: you need an adapter. Reception was open 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in late afternoon. ||||Soundproofing between apartments was very weak. Fortunately, once again, my neighbors lived in the same rhythm. Also small flat screen TV with only Italian channels. Bathrooms seem to differ compering to different apartments, another apartment I saw was better designed and there was also a hair dryer which I hadn't. The shower area is minimal and the floor really gets wet how ever careful you are and shower curtain sticks to your skin. Shower is immovable, you cannot use it as hand shower. ||||Swimming pool with sunbeds but no cushions, also parasols. Looks good and there are plenty of plants fencing the area. ||||All in all: yes, I could stay here again. The landlady speaks wonderful English, lovely beach is only a few minutes away and I definitely would rent a bike for moving...
Read moreI just can not recommend this place it has an infestation of bedbugs!!!. The showers are so small you have to enter sideways, and you hit the dirty grout, small, for small kids? It's very noisy, and old, dogs barking all night long, and loud guests due to very thin walls. This place needs to be cleaned, huge dust balls under the bed, and in corners of the bedroom, floors not cleaned well, they did not change towels or sheets 2nd week, suppose to be every 4 days, but no clean sheets, no new towels. It's just filthy, Had to repeatedly request necessarities : soap for shower, soap for kitchen, and toilet paper had to be requested, so I purchased my own tp and paper towels. But it has a pool, as many other hotels, this one also has loud echo noise. And, if you need pool towels can purchase towels for pool for 5:euro per day. Cab fare, BE ADVISED, 3 kl or 9 min trip to airport, PRICE FIXED @ 30 Euro or more ONE way, anywhere in Alghero. Be very careful, ask ahead. This place is approx. 2.5 miles/km out of town, GET ready to do lots of walking! Or take the bus. The best thing is great coffee right down the block next to farmacia! That I highly recommend. And Bahia's on the beach!!! And a few good restaurants in the area. Every Wed, there is food and other useful items at a huge outdoor market on the street behind the residence. Great buys, fun place if you enjoy a good market. Nothing to share about the staff, except they are on premises, sometimes, when they are, somewhat helpful! I would suggest looking into more well-kept places, more accommodating! This place has bedbugs!!!. There are many other hotels across from the beach on via Lido and many in Alghero Vecchia, don't book late as I did, book ahead, much success and enjoy.. find a clean place. Many in the area.. Alghero is wonderful, but I will not be returning to this place, as the quality of service was not good. Different, it changed since pre covid...THIS WAS MY HAPPY PLACE, and...
