Top Cagliari Hotel Reviews
L'Ambasciata Hotel de Charme
"Comfortable stay, helpful staff. Weather outside was roasting hot - the air conditioning took a while to work but was ok in the end. A decent option in the centre of Cagliari."
Hotel Flora
"Staff was very helpful and attentive. Cristan always made sure the breakfast buffet was well kept and organized. Francesca was very helpful getting us settled in. Dinner was really good"

Holiday Inn Cagliari by IHG

Palazzo Tirso Cagliari Mgallery
"Very well maintained hotel, great staff. Wonderful rooftop restaurant with small pool, perfect for cooling off after a hot day walking around the city."
UNA HOTELS T Hotel Cagliari
"Una Hotel is outside the central, historic part of the city, but nicely located near the civic theater and a delightful park with ponds and ducks. The hotel lobby is bright and colorful. The hotel restaurant has a nice menu and is reasonably priced, if a bit understaffed. The included morning breakfast was extensive and delicious. My room was in the tower part of the hotel, to which I took a very utilitarian and rather unpleasant elevator and which had a dark and unappealing hallway. However, my room was well supplied if rather Spartan in decor. The bed was unusually hard and not terribly comfortable. The bathroom was well equipped. The daily maid service was appreciated along with the refrigerator and drinking water provided. All in all, the hotel served my needs, although I would have preferred to stay somewhere with more charm and character and in a location, closer to nicer restaurants and city plaza."
Hotel Ristorante Calamosca
"Staff were nice, air con was great, bed uncomfortable, good location, parking available, beach next to it is ok, 2 great restaurants nearby, hotel breakfast could be better."
