Hotel berhampiran Spiaggia Poglina, Alghero

We stayed at Carlos V again this year, just like last year. What made us really happy was that Daniela from the restaurant, the reception staff, and even the cleanup lady remembered us. (The cleanup lady even remembered which floor we stayed on last year!) Once again, we had a wonderful summer vacation here. To start, at reception, we were upgraded from a garden view room to a sea view room. The view was absolutely stunning! The restaurant staff were very kind, and we were glad we chose the half-board option. We also enjoyed using the pool bar. Although we saw a few negative reviews, after seeing how hard the staff work in such hot and busy conditions, I can’t bring myself to say anything negative. Thank you again for another fantastic summer. We truly had a great time!

Abbiamo pernottato 4 notti e le uniche due note positive dell’hotel sono sulla posizione centrale e molto comoda e sul personale molto cortese. Dalle foto avevo aspettative molto alte che sono state pienamente deluse. Ci è stata assegnata una stanza con finestra che affacciava su un muro in più coperta dall’impalcatura che rendeva il tutto molto buio. Gli arredi lasciano molto desiderare in quanto datati e un odore sgradevole all’interno della stanza. Il secondo giorno abbiamo usufruito del servizio pulizia in stanza e non c’è stato rimpiazzato il bagnoschiuma. Per quello che abbiamo pagato mi aspettavo molto di più considerando che nel prezzo non era inclusa neanche la colazione.

We stayed the the Hotel Donomea for Three Nights and what a wonderful experience, from the Reception Staff to the Breakfast Staff and Cleaners it was First Class.The room was spacious and comfortable with a big bed and a safe and tea making facilities, the Bathroom was really nice with Double Sinks and a Walk in Shower which I love as it's so much safer then an overbath Shower,Breakfast was good with a wide variety for every taste,both hot and cold,it was a ten minute walk to the Old Town and around Fifteen to the Port which is full of fabulous Restaurants.I would highly recommend Latino Restaurant/Bar for good food and drinks at very reasonable prices and excellent customer service and overlooking the beautiful Port,the building is also steeped in History, stay away from Kings Restaurant as it is very expensive and the food is very mediocre, we were shocked at the price.There is a lovely Pizzeria as you turn left out of Hotel across the road,also very good food and very good value,in actual fact there are lots of restaurants in the vicinity of the Hotel.The rooftop pool area is not great and very overlooked but we were not there for sunbathing. We loved Alghero and would definitely stay at Hotel Donomea on our next visit. Thank You Hotel Domomea..

Siamo stati ad Alghero tante volte e in tante strutture e posso dire finalmente di aver trovato il nostro posto!! Bella l’idea del check-in in autonomia, non ti vincola con l’orario di arrivo. La struttura è meravigliosa, la camera era perfetta con l’idromassaggio che l’arricchiva ancora di più. Massima pulizia e attenzione al dettaglio. Ben riscaldata. Ampia, luminosa. Con un prezzo adeguato all’ offerta. Il personale gentilissimo, la donna delle pulizie con il passo felpato di un gatto aveva già iniziato a pulire le stanze e non ci siamo resi conto di niente ( altre volte siamo stati svegliati in malo modo da rumori molesti di mobili e letto spostati). La colazione al bar accanto buona e con personale allegro e disponibile. TORNEREMO PRESTO

Camera molto confortevole , pulizia eccellete. Purtroppo questa struttura esige il check out entro le ore 10, 00 e non da nessuna possibilità di depositare le valigie , capirete che se uno ha il volo alle 15,40 dello stesso giorno non ha alternative se non trascorrere 5 ore accompagnandosi alla valigia o andare all'aeroporto e trascorrere le ore che trascorrono prima della partenza, mi è stato risposto successivamente in repplica alla mia precedente recensione che esiste a pagamento un LUGGAGE ROOM , che non mi è stato menzionato al momento del chek-in. Colpa mia che, al momento della prenotazione mi è sfuggito il particolare di questo regolamento del chek-out alle 10,00 del tutto raro a trovarsi, pensavo a quello canonico di tutti gli Hotels e di altri B&B delle ore 11/12,00. Ebbene siamo stati redarguiti in modo molto maleducato da un a persona che non si è nemmeno presentata , ma abbiamo intuito poteva essere il proprietario, che ,al mio tentato di giustificare il fatto di avere lasciato la valigia pronta in camera sino alle 12,00 per non aver inavvertitamente letto questo regolamento, si è voltato e senza salutare (ribadisco) se ne andato senza replicare . Tengo a precisare in replica che al nostro ritorno ore 12,00 la camra era stata fatta dal personale che si occupa del ripristino delle camere,senza creare alcun grave disagio come citato dal proprietario nella sua repplica, si precisa che in questa struttura il chek-in si fà alle 15,00, quindi non cerano alla porta alcun altro ospite in attesa (di cosa stà parlando)Altra cosa falsamente evidenziato dal proprietario che ci ha tacciato di aver fumato in camera , cosa falsa e menzioniera poichè questo è avvenuto sul balcone della camera all'aperto con tutti i riguardi del caso tenendo ben chiusa la porta della camera che dà sul balcone. Faccio ancora notare in replica ... che ci ha girato le spalle Davvero da ”CAFONE” ... ci voleva poco ad essere gentile esponendo le stesse cose. Io non mi permetterei mai , di scrivere falsità in una recensione non ho motivi , probabilmente il proprietario è anche permaloso e menzoniero per usare un eufemismo, capisco che per difendersi lei si arrampica sui vetri , ma dire falsità sul comportamento degli ospiti mi sembra veramente di bassa professionalità per non dire altro. Sia una certezza e non solo una promessa per il proprietario che non ci torneremo più in questa struttura.

We have just checked out a day early from hotel Alma. I truly don’t mean this to be a scathing review, just a completely transparent one. I do also want to start by saying much as this hotel disappointed us, the staff were absolutely brilliant. Everyone we spoke to was helpful and friendly. This hotel looked amazing online so we booked. We paid extra for a Deluxe double with sea view. When we arrived, our initial impression was disappointing. The hotel is down a dark alley, and the bar in the reception area is tiny. We were informed there is no restaurant here (to be fair we should have checked online first, we just assumed there would be a restaurant on site). We got to the Room, the whole room smelled stale and the bedding absolutely stank of mildew and mould. It was dark and raining when we arrived so we thought perhaps we were being unfair and said we should give it another chance in the morning when it was bright. We stayed in room 401, which was on the same floor as the breakfast room. From 7am, we heard every guest in the hotel walk up and down for their breakfast. The room had a balcony but the door was jammed. We also didn’t realise the hotel faced a busy road so we heard noise from traffic all night. The decor in the room was tired and dated, the curtains in the room were covered in holes from general wear and tear. There was only a thin sheet on the bed, there was a duvet without a cover in the wardrobe but this smelled like it had not been washed from the previous guests. The hair dryer in the room is one of those ancient ones that kept overheating and only worked for 30 second intervals at a time. We tried to go for breakfast on 3 different occasions. We could not get a table the first 2 so had to keep going back to check for a table. When we did get a table the choice was very limited. Flies were landing over the uncovered food, dairy products were left sitting out unrefrigerated and the toaster didn’t work. The hot food options consisted of undercooked scrambled egg, dry bacon, baked beans and chopped up sausage. The bread that was out was stale. The hotel advertised an outdoor rooftop pool which looked amazing in Photos. In reality this pool was a massive let down. The pool itself is small and does not have a bar area - seriously? Why would a rooftop pool in a holiday destination not have a bar? Again, maybe our fault for not checking this first but it would be safe to assume there would be a bar. Also because of the storm the day before and the pool being uncovered the water was filthy and full of debris. The hotel had parking but charged €15 a day for the parking which is a bit steep. I understand this hotel may be ideal for some people, but this was our honest opinion. The hotel has so much potential but is just massively oversold and overpriced in our opinion. The photos are completely misleading and the property looks nothing like the photos. It is also around a 25 minute walk to Alghero old town. We wouldn’t Recomme

We have just come back from a week here. The room and all hotels area were always clean. The rooms are basic but are quite spacious. After one bad night due to the mattress I put a blanket down on the bed and the next day the housekeeper had put a mattress topper on the bed for us. It is located near bus stop into Alghero and the beach bus to beaches up the coast. All the staff were really friendly and most of them spoke english. My husband has coeliac disease, each morning at breakfast he was given a basket with gluten free cereal, bread, biscuits and offered croissants which were heated in the oven. At dinner the staff showed him what he could have and then gave him the option of having fresh gluten free pasta cooked so he could have the pasta dish. They also cooked meat separately if the sauce wasn't gluten free. We want to say a special thank you to Roberta and all the staff in the restaurant and kitchen for looking after him so well. We really appreciated the time Roberta spent with him each evening and translating to the other staff. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending this hotel and returning if we can.

Sorry, but not even close! It can be seen that a lot has been invested in the hotel, but the operating expenses are done sparingly. # Reception: + introduction tour by the receptionist; + decent Internet speed (46 MBps); + sufficient staff in all departments, friendly and professional; - an envelope for towels and restaurant cards would not cost that much. # Room: + superb sea view (no. 209), spacious balcony with comfortable chairs, clothesline and clothes hooks (!!!); + soundproofing and AC ok; + minimally equipped, in austere style; - please do something about the quality of the toilet paper and the cheap plastic cups from bathroom and room; - the very hard and uncomfortable mattress made sleeping quite difficult; - I didn't understand the purpose of the “couverture service”, with a knock on the tourists' door at 10:30 p.m. # Restaurant: - quite expensive (10€ a sandwich, 9€ a long drink); - live piano music - an excellent idea, but the pianist was more enthusiastic than skilled - pianist in the evening, waiter in the morning; - too many waiters with no apparent business with the customers. # Breakfast: + pastries, fruits and traditional food very, very good, coffee was ok; + exceptional bread; - the classic international menu without standing out, with only few hot dishes (probably due to local breakfast customs); - supermarket juices. # Pool: + with salt water, 20m long, infinity pool, sufficient sunbeds and umbrellas (more than 70 pcs.), clean and large towels; - a lot of noisy cicadas; + very well-kept exterior: lawns, alleys, plants, perfect order and cleanliness; congratulations to the gardeners; + free access to a small sandy beach (apparently arranged by the hotel), with a little deep water with sand on the bottom, nearby with an area with rocks for snorkeling; 7-8 m from the shore stones and algae but the lifeguard showed us where to enter the sea without problems. # Neighborhood: + easy to get to/from the airport (15-20min by car); + at 800m (15min by foot) from the hotel there is a small village - Fertilia with 4-5 restaurants with decent food, 2 gelateria, 1 supermarket (with everything), 1 post office, 1 ATM, all located in the center of the village/near the church and the bus station. + immediately nearby there is a running/cycling/walking track in a pine forest, nature reserve. # Entertainment: - The Sardinian Evening Party: avoid spending 150€ - the barbecue part was ok (especially the Pecorino cheese, cooked in fondue style) but after that the food was tasteless, zero atmosphere, without music and without socializing; + even if the excursions offer is limited in the area (from my perspective), it is very easy to get to Alghero (15 min by bus, 1.5€ paid to the driver, timetable in the bus station at the church in Fertilia); avoid taxis, which are a real scam: 35€ for the airport, for example; + in Alghero you will find m
