Hotel berhampiran Torre di S＇Elmo, Alghero

The hotel was clean and tidy. The staff from the cleaning crew, reception and the restaurant and bar staff were 1st rate. Always happy to oblige. After the 2nd day it was as if we’d known everyone for years. The pool area was lovely and clean and there was a lifeguard on duty every day. There are a few small sandy beach areas, but this side of island is mostly rocky. The bistro has a small menu with daily specials. Recommended you try some of the Sardinian dishes. Lovely food. We will definitely be returning to this hotel and this island.

The hotel Soleado is a little gem, not fancy or plush but very very pleasant. The staff are very pleasant and helpful! The location is ideal, on a sandy beach with a promenade. I'd love to see the sea**** removed though.... It's pushed into mounds ready for removal, hopefully!The old town is in easy walking range. It's charming cobbled narrow streets with eateries in every nook and cranny. The ramparts are stunning for a stroll, meal or coffee. The yellow tourist bus gives a good first look, well worth hopping on. Local buses nearby towns are available near the port also for a day out. We found renting an e-bike suited us ideally. There's a train station 100 metres behind the hotel.. Walkable even with a bag. We found grabbed a train to Sassari and onwards to Cagliari!

A wonderful hotel with a beautiful sea view, access to the beach (best if you bring swimming shoes) & promenade, a very nice courtyard with flowers and a seating area to enjoy your mornings/evenings. A short walk to the old town and the most important sites. The restaurant is serving very delicious breakfast and dinner every day! All the staff are so attentive and did their u**ost to make our stay exceptional and unforgettable! The reception, restaurant and housekeeping teams all make you feel at home like family! A special thanks goes to the front office: Antonio M., Antonio S., Mauro, Sabrina, Monica; restaurant staff: chef Patrizia P., Angelo, Gianpietro, Massimo, Stefania. They are all stars! A separate grazie mille goes to Mr. Piero!

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..

A lovely little hotel on the quieter side of Alghero. About 8 minutes’ walk to a small sandy bay, no facilities though and about another 30 minutes to the main beach. Make sure you walk far enough so you don’t smell the rotting sea****, which is a shame because it is a fantastic wide white sandy beach. The hotel room was spacious but minimal and the balcony was lovely and big. Breakfast was the same every day, but everything was fresh. Lovely staff throughout, the waitresses were always on hand if you needed anymore coffee and the reception staff were very helpful if we needed more pillows or coat hangers. We were asked throughout our stay if everything was ok, which it was until we came to check out. We had heard that there wasn’t any where to leave our suitcases, but this wasn’t the case, has we were told we could leave them behind reception, which was fine by us. As we had a late flight, we did ask if we could sit on the roof top terrace but were polity told, that has we were no longer residents we were not allowed up there anymore. We have travelled around Europe and never encountered this policy before, so decided to walk to the beach with beds as we knew there wasn’t anywhere to shower if we were sandy when we came back. On our return we were told we could change in the toilets in the TV room, but when we asked to buy a coffee while we were waiting for our taxi, this was also refused us because we were no longer residents!!! There are no close bars or cafes round this hotel. All I can say is, this did spoil our holiday and our experience of this hotel. If you have a late flight, perhaps this hotel is not the right place for you.

Excellent choice to explore West Coast to Sardinia as well as just relax at the hotel. Big plus of this hotel is beautiful beach right on the property, steps away from your room (make sure to get ocean view). Food was also great and on Wednesdays they do suckling pig roast/buffet - about 5 pigs around the wooden fire, right on the property. Other days food is good too. Hotel is located about 10 min from a picturesque Alghero village and about an hour from famous La Pelosa beach. Hotel can arrange a catamaran tour to visit close to the beach too which is way better than going into the zoo of cars and people of La Pelosa. The only suggestion about this hotel is to have a coffee machine in the room. Othe than that it’s one of the best in Sardinia.

Enjoyed our week here, beautiful setting with its own beach at the end of the green by the pool / bar. Waiting staff are very welcoming and always happy to help. Rooms are spacious and very clean, the lack of an iron or access to one without having to pay is a bit mad, the only way you can iron your clothes is by paying for the laundry service, completely unacceptable for a four star hotel, basic mod-con in a room is an iron. That aside the restaurant is very nice, lovely food but you need to book before you arrive, we got caught short the first night and with the hotel being remote you've no other options unless you're driving, we were told to walk down a pitch black road with no footpath to get to the nearest restaurant. Unacceptable. We insisted on being seated as we hadn't eaten all day and it was 8pm at this stage. There really should be bar food available all day and night as apposed very limited hours at lunch time, as an alternative to the restaurant due to the hotels remoteness.The bar food is so good too, it's a shame it's not accessible for longer. You've literally nothing other then the bar at night if you're not eating in the restaurant. Renting a car is a must, luckily they're super cheap in Sardinia. Loads of activities to do during the day, renting bikes, scuba diving all available at the reception desk. There's a bus brings you directly into Alghero, only a 4/5 min walk from hotel. Costs less then €2. That's very handy if you've no car, takes 20mins. Neptunes cave a short drive away also. There's a newsagent / shop 10mins walk also, convenient for picking up snacks, water, toiletries etc. you'll pass dozens of cats and in our case a boar! All harmless and not to be feared. Would recommend the hotel but just be mindful of the small things like no iron in the room, remoteness. Still worth a visit.
