This hotel is an absolute scam, and it nearly ruined our entire experience in Sardinia. From the very beginning, it was nothing but misrepresentation. We booked through Expedia, where the hotel falsely advertised its location as being on one of the main roads of Palau. In reality, it sits far up a steep hill, inconvenient and nearly impossible to reach on foot. We specifically chose this property because it claimed to be a 4-star hotel. Let me be clear: this place doesn’t even meet the standards of a basic bed and breakfast. From the moment we checked in, it was obvious the hotel was severely understaffed, neglected, and almost deserted. We paid for a room with an ocean view and were told we’d been “upgraded” to a newly renovated section. Any excitement was quickly crushed when we realized what that actually meant: dragging our suitcases up two uneven flights of stairs, going outside the main building, climbing more stairs, then hauling luggage over rocks before reaching a room that looked nothing like a 4-star accommodation. The room was bare, furnished with what looked like cheap IKEA furniture, unfinished bathrooms, patchy walls, and spider webs covering the ceiling. Unfortunately, things only got worse with breakfast. It was a complete joke. Service lasted only two hours in the morning because the same staff members responsible for cleaning rooms were also in charge of running breakfast. The food selection was extremely poor, with questionable quality.

Property and rooms in disrepair. The rating definitely does not reflect the condition. Staff was extremely rude. The blankets were dirty and I was told they didn’t have any clean ones.

Is a nice 3 star property in a middle class neighborhood. Had issues finding it due to wrong address on Expidia app. Bed was uncomfortable and everything else was humble. The best thing about the hotel “ B&B” is the View and the Front Desk manager who was exceptionally helpful and friendly 💖💖💖

Very convenient

Our visit to Sardinia was very pleasant and the welcoming atmosphere of the hotel was nice Adeel was at the reception desk and the way he greeted us and shared the information was very pleasant and friendly After a long drive from Olbia airport to Palau our accommodation was quite lovely as we were able to check in fast and easy fashion The room was very clean and comfortable with amazing views overlooking the beach and the port of Palau The convenient location was a great spot for walking to the city center for shopping and dining. Also to enjoy the free beaches and to get to the ferry and enjoy the activities!!!!

Avoid disappointment stay elsewhere

This was a disappointing stay. Reception staff were unfriendly, did not help with luggage. Worse still the main reception person was smoking a shisha pipe in the common areas and in another occasion was picking the skin off his feet in the customer area . Ash trays were left with cigarette butts. There is no lift and the stairs to the next floor are dangerous, there’s no hand rail except for the last few steps. The stair asr made of recycled timber and have a number of holes in them. The beds were hard and very uncomfortable. The hotel is up quite a steep hill and a distance from the main part of town it would be difficult without a car . I cannot understand how this is rated as 4 star I don’t know how hotels.com is aligned with this property

Manutenção do hotel começou a ser deixada de lado

Tinha tudo para ser excelente, exceto a maçaneta da porta do quarto, que saiu na nossa mão. E aparenta ser um problema antigo que não é resolvido, mas arrumado com desleixo, apenas para fingir que dão importância ao hóspede. Havia muita dificuldade para fechar a porta do quarto, pela falta da maçaneta, e o cofre não funcionava
