Very well presented garden area around the pool, misleading details about the beach access but once you get used to that and the walk across the main road it’s a decent place to stay for access to the area. Staff were very helpful and happy to engage. Breakfast buffet was decent too.

My husband and I really liked this hotel. It was really close to the beach but whenever we wanted something more relaxing went to the pool at the hotel. You can visit Cagliari really easily on a bus. The staff is really friendly and told us where to eat close to the hotel, we recommend Maddalena.

The pool was big and very clean . Unfortunately at 7pm was been closed. Being summer season and at 9pm becomes dark , I believe is they should keep the pool open until 8pm at least. Room was big and clean, just an advise to do a deep cleaning for who stays more then 3 days. Breakfast not so many choices. Most based on sweets then actual food. I fully understand is Italian standard to have a cappucino and croissant, but then dont put English breakfast on the website. Was strange to see that everything on the side asking you had to pay... such as fountain water, to use the iron . I work in hotels and this hotel has potential, just needs more good marketing, how you sell it

Decor in the hotel is from 1990’s but everything was kept in condition and the room and common areas were very clean. Outside the hotel the surroundings are not pretty at all, industrial area is close by and trashes were thrown around. Also not much to do in the surroundings but if you have a car it’s not too long to get to more beautiful areas.

Good Hotel. Bad restaurant

The area around the hotel is nice the swimming pool gives a charm to the place which has been cleverly built. It feels slightly dated but i have seen way worse, so it didn't feel bad. Some pieces of furniture would though need some repair (rusted tower hanger, wood in the bathroom was quite damaged by time...). Balcony was nice, but furniture had a disgusting smell of cold tobacco so wasn't really enjoyable... Room was good. Again dated, difficult to find some electricity to charge the phone (in the 1990s those issues didn't exist) but after unplugging the bedside table all fine. The breakfast wasn't good... Dry cakes, tasteless croissants, etc which is to be expected in a hotel. I had paid extra for the dinner at the hotel and do not do it ! You might have your money worth for the quantity (as it is a buffet) but quality is not there. So pay less, go outside and get some proper food, it is italy you have plenty of choice around, don't do that to yourself ! It is outside of Cagliari but well connected to transportation and in a nice environment. The hotel gets 4 stars despite the critics as it is also cheaper than most around. So it is definitely a good ratio price/quality if you do not eat there. If you eat there, the hotel is way overpriced for the quality !

Comfortable hotel with nice pool. The experience wasn't 4 star. Grubby windows, untended front garden and chipped plates which ran out during breakfast were examples of details missed. We didn't eat in the restaurant as it seemed expensive for a charmless partioned space in the hotel lobby. Other choices locally we're OK but limited.

Lovely hotel, very clean and well kept with friendly staff. Showers arent great, not much pressure and really small. Breakfast was sufficient, we didnt eat dinner in hotel but theres a few restaurants around that are worth a visit, goblin pizzas just round the corner was our favourite and theres La miniera del Pesce only 2-3 minutes drive. The beach near the hotel is pebbles and the water is pretty rough, i probably wouldnt recommended this hotel if your looking to stay in the area for the duration of your holiday but as a base if your driving out daily then yes.

Ok stay, but a very dated hotel

The hotel is very tired and old, and in dire need of refurbishment. The decor is 90s drab and the melamine beige is just a bit too depressing. Breakfast is very limited and poor quality for a 4*. For the price it is not worth it and I wouldn’t recommend.

Nicht noch einmal – leider enttäuschend

Ich war für zwei Nächte im Hotel Santa Gilla und zum Glück nicht länger. Das Zimmer war nicht richtig sauber, die Betten hatten keinen Bezug, die Kissen waren alt und dünn, und auf der Decke war ein großer Fleck, der wie Urin aussah, absolut ekelhaft! Das Frühstück war lieblos und eher mittelmäßig. Insgesamt wirkte das Hotel alt und ungepflegt. Ich würde definitiv nicht wiederkommen.
