Hotel Aristeo

Very tidy and clean: Superbly fitted rooms. Staff attentive and excellent breakfast- one of the best breakfasts in our 1 month trip. Don’t be put off by the entrance which is hard to find at first. I am sure next time I visit that they will probably be occupying the ground floor too.

My wife and I stayed in a marina-view room for two nights at Hotel Aristeo. The room was stylish, clean, and had a nice view of the marina. The hotel location is great for exploring Cagliari by foot. The front desk staff were terrific and helped us a few times with dinner reservations, taxis, and excursions. Breakfasts were served in a common room. An attendant made espresso-based drinks, brought fresh orange juice, and took orders for eggs. Now, the following aren't negatives, but future visitors should be aware of a few things concerning the hotel and its surroundings. First, the hotel doesn't occupy an entire building. It seems to occupy only one or two floors of the building that it's in. Aside from the breakfast room, it didn't seem to have any other common areas, like a bar or lounge. We were fine with that. However, if you want a "big hotel" experience, this isn't it. Second, and related, there isn't an obvious entrance with a huge sign. The entrance is around the side of the building with a few small signs, one of which says "Aristeo." Third, the hotel doesn't have parking on site. However, they will email you information concerning where to park just before your arrival. We parked at one of their recommended lots for two days. It wasn't expensive and seemed to be safe enough. Finally, and this is more about Italy/Europe than Aristeo, be prepared for construction anywhere in the city, including just outside your hotel. Apparently, the city was working on the road in front of Aristeo and found historical artifacts. That brought the road construction to a halt, but started archeological excavation! Fortunately, there was no street noise that we could hear in our room. In sum, we enjoyed our stay at Aristeo. Our room was nicely appointed. And it's in a great location with friendly, helpful staff. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

 WOW, Fantastic, charming, welcoming, professional, knowledgeable, smiling, people who really enjoy their work and therefore make the client feel so at home. The hotel could have been a rundown rabbit hutch and it still would have felt great - but it isn"t. It's a cleverly designed, modern small hotel, each room (from what I saw) individually decorated but all following the same clean lines, very comfortable and calming neutral colours. Obviously the sea view rooms have the best views. Breakfast was delicious with a good varied menu and the hot course made on the spot. All in all a really delightful stay and it's ideally located right at the end of the Via Roma, 10 minutes from the train and bus stations. Grazie mille Eleonora, Angelo and Luca (Mattia in absentia) and of course the young "breakfast" ladies.
