    The hotel was close to the beach you have to cross the street only. The bus stop is 150 meters from the hotel. The hotel room was very clean and bed comfortable. The personnel was very polite, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good.

    Lovely welcome at reception. Room on the third floor had a balcony and a view of the beach opposite. Comfortable room, good breakfast and excellent Wi Fi. It's a bit of a walk to the old town and the hotel is on a busy road but it was quiet enough at night.

    - The breakfast was between 8:00-10:00, would be better a bit earlier, and the selection was every day the same and nothing special (there were no vegetables at all) The lady who coordinated the breakfast was a bit strict, you had a feeling that all of your steps followed all the time (and she didn't speak English but always try to say something) - The family rooms (non of them) have no sea view option and we had no balcony, so all our daily wet things need to be dried within the room which makes the room a bit smelly - You are asked by the hotel policy to leave the key in reception every time when you leave the hotel, which is a bit uncomfortable when you have to ask every 5 minutes (e.g left something in the room, or the need beck to toilet) - For the price you had a bit of over charged feeling

    - Location was very nice, walking distance to the old town, and there is a beach in front of the hotel just on the opposite side of the road - They let use check in a bit earlier which was very kind and make use happy - Staff at the reception were very kind and flexible -7/24 reception is a plus

    - breakfast was fine but everyday almost the same options with no vegetable - according to what we read, Italians don't eat vegetable for breakfast... - the main road is right next to the hotel, so you can hear the traffic noise when you open the window - shower is quite small, not much space there when you close the shower doors

    - room service was great, everything was perfectly clean and cleaned on daily basis - receptionists were very helpful, nice and always smiling. They even let us check in 4 hours earlier than was the official time for check-in. - balcony was appreciated, so swimsuits could be hanged there. However, not every room has a balcony so there is an additional charge for a room with the balcony. - beds were comfortable - location is great - a few minutes' walk from the city centre, right next to the Lido di Alghero Beach, 30 minutes' walk from Maria Pia Beach, near to the bus stops

    I did not have a particularly negative experience, the price was a bit high for the service provided.

    The hotel is very well located. 10 minutes walk to the old town, 2-3 minutes to the beach. There are several bus stops (e.g. beach bus) within 1-2 minutes walk. As it is next to a main road, it is a bit noisy with the windows open. The view from the terrace is spectacular, with a beautiful sunset. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable.

    Near the beach (just opposite), within walking distance to Old Town (~20min). Room relatively clean and spacious. Receptionists friendly and helpful.

    I didn’t like that the hotel was overpriced. Breakfast was very poor — limited selection, and even what was available often ran out. We had to chase the staff to bring more food and wait for it. Overall, a very bad experience.

    Location was good, and the room was clean. The cleaning staff did a good job.

    I’m not sure why this hotel gets such a high rating. After travelling for 12 weeks I have to say this place was one of the most expensive rooms we have stayed in and we have stayed in some really lovely hotels. We had just stayed at a beautiful hotel just down the strip which was absolutely beautiful and breakfast and a great pool were included in their price. Unfortunately Hotel Gabbiano was a major step down. We paid more $$ here and there were basically no inclusions. The room was small , there was no water, no tissues. Very small sachet of shampoo. The shower was tiny. No kettle in the room and when asked if I could get a glass hot water it was “not possible “ We didn’t have breakfast there so I can’t comment on that. The walls are very thin and I could hear people talking and coughing quite clearly in the room. The decor is very dated. I felt like I was staying a room at my grandparents house. Definitely not value for money. There are much better options nearby

    The location is great and the staff were always very cheerful and helpful The air conditioning worked well but that’s where it ended.

    The washroom was way too small. I hardly could take a shower, and I'm 155cm tall. The room was OK and beds good, but not extra space to open luggage.

    The location was great. A quick walk and we were inside the old city walls with all the restaurants, small shops and gelato places. And the staff was 100%

    The position Is excellent, especially if you decide to not rent a car, 10 minutes walk from the city centre ( which is very pretty) and directly on the beach front. The hospitality is amazing. They gave us spontaneously an upgrade of the room including the balcony which wasn't included in the original reservation. The room was clean and tidy and the breakfast abundant. Highly recommend.

    The hotel gives you a ‘90 vibe. Classical Italian 3star Hotel. It reminded me of the period when I was young and went with my parents at the seaside. I could hear my hotel neighbors sneezing :)

    -It was close to the beach and old city center -New smart TV -very nice staff
