  Amazing experience at Hotel Calabona! ??The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, from the reception desk to the hotel bar and breakfast team. Nothing was ever too much trouble.It’s a lovely walk along the seafront into the main square, taking around 15–20 minutes. If you don’t fancy the walk, there’s also a complimentary shuttle bus.The food at the bar was gorgeous, and I was really impressed that the staff even remembered our drinks order in the evening — such a lovely personal touch!The breakfast buffet always had a great selection of food, with plenty of choice each morning.I would highly recommend Hotel Calabona and would definitely stay here again.

  Hotel is definetely not 4 star. For many reasons. We arrived late on a Sat night...no food available as bar/ restaurant closes at 10.30...and as hotel is not near any other eating facility We had no choice but to use the overpriced mini bar as my wife is diabetic and had to eat.Reception staff not very friendly and no map or any details given..only to ask for 52eu extra for local tax.Rooms basic,plastic glasses and very little storage even in bathroom.Our room overlooked another apartment block so no privacy.You have to pay for towels for pool or beach.4eu daily.Private beach is inaccessible for anyone with mobility issues..steps down to it and very rocky ,no sand as such..just gravel and rocks.Breakfast which we were given diff prices on different days ranging from 18eu to 22eu daily very limited..melon and pineapple ..bacon and scrambled egg( cold) everyday.no variety for whole week.croissants and cakes daily.Breakfast staff are very nice...and bar staff but not reveption staff.Andre the shuttle bus driver very friendly and nicest of all.Saw an elderly man slip at pool and fall badly. Very slippy around pool.His head bled profusely and not one person who attended him wore gloves..lifeguard held towel to his head..medics called but he didnt want to go to hospital so was left to his own devices and nobody checked in with him after..we met him.in pharmacy that night looking for bandage for a still bleeding cut on his head.!Saw numerous people in our week stay having issues with pool beds not secured.We couldnt book late check out as hotel was booked out...our flight was 11pm so we had to be out of room by 11am...We asked for shower room and were told by another rude receptionist there was none but We could use the outdoor shower by the pool.! Our bags were stored in unlocked baggage room.I emailed before stay to ask was there an iron in room and was advised there was..on arrival I was informed I could bring my clothes to an area in reception and use an iron they would set up there..iron couldnt be used in your room.Hotel is clean and comfortble but not 4 star and the best part of it was the free shuttle out of it every 15 mins. As old town is a good 20 min walk.Wouldnt go back there

  2/3 Star Hotel with a 5 Star price….save and go elsewhere where service and ambience better.

  Greeted by a dark older hotel and indifferent staff (possibly worst greeting since we have been in Italy, maybe it was the individual on duty was having a bad day). The hotel is a 2/3 star hotel with 5 star pricing. Rooms are equipped with plastic cups (for water), and very few personal amenities (as other hotels have). For the ridiculously high price breakfast should have been included (again only time on our trip it hasn’t been). Shower is a hand held one, the water is hot. Overall the hotel is VERY dated with its view and location being its main selling point. There is an expectation you pay for pool/beach towels, along with a ridiculous amount for parking onsite with out security. Really regret believing the photos on booking.com and the reviews of some people. The hotel appears to cater for large bus charters, perhaps they are the reviewers - to me it was not the hotel the described on Trip Advisor. Definitely would not recommend, nor would I return to it.

  Many other much better hotels in or near Alghero

  Why 2 stars when many other people say it is OK? I guess that the main one is we paid way too much for the room and believed the reviews and photos suppled on booking.com. On arrival you are told to pay the tourist tax straight away (other places we stayed it was on leaving). For the cost of our room (1400$A for 2 nights) was no breakfast included - that cost an addional 24euro, you had to pay for pool or beach towels, there was not even a bottle of water in our room, The flooring of the hallways and rooms is Lino, there are no glasses in the room for tap water (plastic cups). No coffee machine (although tea and coffee provided), no concierge service, luggage storage is an unsecured room (thieves take note), the bathroom is small with one wall mounted soap dispenser for hygiene and hair wash. The shower floor is painted. There are no additional pillows available in the room, the aircon is loud (in fact with the balcony door open of a night you can hear the aircon from other rooms), It is way outside of the old town, full of package holiday makers. Small rooms, expensive for what you get. And the beach (for us) is pretty bad). There are only a couple of positives, 1 is the vi ew we had from our room (although not worth the cost), and there is a limited shuttle service to town which I believes is funded by one of the town’s restaurants. If you do not want much and are prepared to pay this hotel might be for you. Bear in mind there is a much nicer one (King Carlos V) just a hundred meters away, There are also some other much better hotels in the town, perhaps even consider Castelsardo a small town nearby with what looks like a nice hotel (Hotel Riviera) that actually has a white sand beach across the road from it.
