Hotel Libyssonis — Hotel in Posthudorra/Porto Torres

My wife booked a room in this hotel for our family because it is close to the harbor where we had to catch our ferry.||||The Hotel looked nice at first sight: swimming pool, good location, smiling and English- /French-speaking staff, beautiful furnitures etc.||||Diner is only served starting at 8.00 pm.||- You only get to choose between 4 starters and 4 main courses.||- meals are objectively of “canteen” quality, not even as good as what one could cook at home pretending it’s italian cuisine: tomato sauce dropped on spinach/ricotta ravioli and raw mozarella with crude ham. ||||||Our room was terrible: ||- with all lights turned off in the room, the corridor light was beaming through the edges of the entrance door.||- Little to no sound insulation between rooms (even if pretty usual for hotels but still worth noting)||- sound of a ventilation engine running until 11.00 pm even after air conditioned was stopped. Probably from the kitchen.||- shower was narrow||- tubings were oxidized||- towels smelt like food (spaghetti al ragu) before we even used them||- extra thin pillows||- mattress was as hard as it can be||- dust above the door and furnitures ||- the lid of the only bin available was broken ||||||Definitely not worth the 140€ /...

We stayed at Libyssonis unexpectedly due to a car problem which prevented us from travelling onward safely and our experience was perfect. Not only was the hotel clean, organized, well equipped (including an enormous swimming pool) and more than friendly, the staff also helped us with our car problem on Ferragosto (15 August is the date that really everything is closed in Italy). The two brothers who helped us didn't even want to be paid for their car intervention (which got us home!), so we left them a dinner voucher at the nicest restaurant at Porto Torres. And a few days later the staff contacted us because we managed to forget a credit card in the room and they sent it to us by registered mail. In short, it is a hotel that guests can count on! And we really want to iterate a thank you to the fantastic people...

The check in was wonderful, we arrived about 3 hours early and were told that our room was ready. The reception was run by a very friendly lady who we learned was a member of the family that own and run the hotel. We asked if we could get some coffee and got one of the best coffees we had in Sardinia. The rooms were well furnished. the bedding was good and the bed firm but comfortable. We had dinner in the restaurant, this being a typical business hotel restaurant very bright and light with not much character. The 20 euro set menu was very good with lots of choice and well cooked. Breakfast was a buffet type with all the normal selections, but a very big selection of fruit juices. All in all this was a comfortable, hospitable and warm...
