Parliamo di stelle. Non quelle Michelin né quelle di Negroni: parliamo delle stelle secondo le quali si dovrebbe scegliere un albergo piuttosto che un altro. Il Grazia Deledda di Sassari ne ha quattro. Quindi, direte voi, è una garanzia di qualità, accoglienza e comfort, tale da rendere la prenotazione quasi una sicurezza. Ma non sempre è così. Iniziamo dal posteggio. Posti auto incastonati tra pilastri di cemento a rischio fiancate anche per guidatori esperti, tranne alcuni che fortunatamente abbiamo potuto utilizzare, ma per salire dal parcheggio alla reception c'è solo la rampa in cemento da percorrere rigorosamente a piedi, e considerando la temperatura torrida e una disabilità del 100% è tutt'altro che comodo. Se c'era l'ascensore, comunque, era mimetizzato talmente bene che non lo abbiamo visto. Quello dell'hotel, invece, era fuori servizio per manutenzione. Ci sta; ci hanno fatto usare l'ascensore di servizio. Nessun problema. La camera. Bagno non finestrato con aspiratore guasto e totale assenza di una modanatura alla quale appendere gli asciugamano del lavabo. Quella del bidet, per fortuna c'era. Un po' di incuria nei particolari (copriviti mancanti e tappetino doccia da mercatino rionale) che potrebbe passare sotto silenzio con una stella in meno. Ma qui le stelle sono quattro. Frigobar vuoto e (a quanto sembra) non funzionante. WiFi attivato ed erogato a singhiozzo, nel senso che a ogni pochi secondi di connessione ne seguono parecchi di disconnessione. La cassaforte in camera era chiusa e non voleva saperne di aprirsi. Chiamiamo la reception e ci mandano il tecnico che, a onor del vero, si dà daffare per rimetterla in funzione, ma la buona volontà contro la cattiva qualità difficilmente ha la meglio. Morale della favola: andiamo a cena (cena di lavoro, nota bene) e ci portiamo dietro lo zaino con dentro computers, tablet, eccetera, eccetera. Dieci e lode in comodità. Altre cosucce qua e là, tipo la rubinetteria della doccia incrostata di calcare, un telo da bagno macchiato (spero) di ruggine e il paralume dell'abat-jour rotto, ma non stiamo troppo a sottilizzare. Parliamo di stelle, dicevamo. Non di quelle Michelin né di quelle di Negroni. Parliamo di quella stella, fortemente immeritata, che l'Hotel Grazia Deledda di Sassari dovrebbe restituire con umiltà a chi gliela ha conferita, probabilmente in tempi non contraddistinti dall'approssimazione e, permettetemelo, dalla cialtronaggine.

We have just checked out a day early from hotel Alma. I truly don’t mean this to be a scathing review, just a completely transparent one. I do also want to start by saying much as this hotel disappointed us, the staff were absolutely brilliant. Everyone we spoke to was helpful and friendly. This hotel looked amazing online so we booked. We paid extra for a Deluxe double with sea view. When we arrived, our initial impression was disappointing. The hotel is down a dark alley, and the bar in the reception area is tiny. We were informed there is no restaurant here (to be fair we should have checked online first, we just assumed there would be a restaurant on site). We got to the Room, the whole room smelled stale and the bedding absolutely stank of mildew and mould. It was dark and raining when we arrived so we thought perhaps we were being unfair and said we should give it another chance in the morning when it was bright. We stayed in room 401, which was on the same floor as the breakfast room. From 7am, we heard every guest in the hotel walk up and down for their breakfast. The room had a balcony but the door was jammed. We also didn’t realise the hotel faced a busy road so we heard noise from traffic all night. The decor in the room was tired and dated, the curtains in the room were covered in holes from general wear and tear. There was only a thin sheet on the bed, there was a duvet without a cover in the wardrobe but this smelled like it had not been washed from the previous guests. The hair dryer in the room is one of those ancient ones that kept overheating and only worked for 30 second intervals at a time. We tried to go for breakfast on 3 different occasions. We could not get a table the first 2 so had to keep going back to check for a table. When we did get a table the choice was very limited. Flies were landing over the uncovered food, dairy products were left sitting out unrefrigerated and the toaster didn’t work. The hot food options consisted of undercooked scrambled egg, dry bacon, baked beans and chopped up sausage. The bread that was out was stale. The hotel advertised an outdoor rooftop pool which looked amazing in Photos. In reality this pool was a massive let down. The pool itself is small and does not have a bar area - seriously? Why would a rooftop pool in a holiday destination not have a bar? Again, maybe our fault for not checking this first but it would be safe to assume there would be a bar. Also because of the storm the day before and the pool being uncovered the water was filthy and full of debris. The hotel had parking but charged €15 a day for the parking which is a bit steep. I understand this hotel may be ideal for some people, but this was our honest opinion. The hotel has so much potential but is just massively oversold and overpriced in our opinion. The photos are completely misleading and the property looks nothing like the photos. It is also around a 25 minute walk to Alghero old town. We wouldn’t Recomme

This is a corporate feeling hotel that caters to groups and conferences. The rooms are okay and functional but a few problems cause me to recommend other stays. Most importantly, the attitude of the restaurant staff is nasty. They wouldn’t let me in a few minutes ahead of opening when I just wanted to see the sunrise view from the restaurant terrace. Then, they were upset that my sister in law asked for a coffee after she had tea. Most disappointing, they wouldn’t prepare a simple omelette for my daughter who is Crohn’s and avoiding oil and butter. The server said we should have scrambled eggs or a fried egg from the buffet (which was really basic). I can’t recall the last time I stayed at a high star hotel that wouldn’t make an omelette. But the view from the terrace is wonderful. The 2 elevators are insufficient for this hotel so prepare to wait several minutes for your ride but this is the least of my issues. A smile and pleasant service at the breakfast terrace would’ve made all else much better at the hotel. Oh… the location is excellent.

Enjoyed our week here, beautiful setting with its own beach at the end of the green by the pool / bar. Waiting staff are very welcoming and always happy to help. Rooms are spacious and very clean, the lack of an iron or access to one without having to pay is a bit mad, the only way you can iron your clothes is by paying for the laundry service, completely unacceptable for a four star hotel, basic mod-con in a room is an iron. That aside the restaurant is very nice, lovely food but you need to book before you arrive, we got caught short the first night and with the hotel being remote you've no other options unless you're driving, we were told to walk down a pitch black road with no footpath to get to the nearest restaurant. Unacceptable. We insisted on being seated as we hadn't eaten all day and it was 8pm at this stage. There really should be bar food available all day and night as apposed very limited hours at lunch time, as an alternative to the restaurant due to the hotels remoteness.The bar food is so good too, it's a shame it's not accessible for longer. You've literally nothing other then the bar at night if you're not eating in the restaurant. Renting a car is a must, luckily they're super cheap in Sardinia. Loads of activities to do during the day, renting bikes, scuba diving all available at the reception desk. There's a bus brings you directly into Alghero, only a 4/5 min walk from hotel. Costs less then €2. That's very handy if you've no car, takes 20mins. Neptunes cave a short drive away also. There's a newsagent / shop 10mins walk also, convenient for picking up snacks, water, toiletries etc. you'll pass dozens of cats and in our case a boar! All harmless and not to be feared. Would recommend the hotel but just be mindful of the small things like no iron in the room, remoteness. Still worth a visit.

We had such a great time here, awesome pool, large garden, olive trees. Well maintained. Staff super-friendly, restaurant has great food and is visited by locals regularly. Location is perfect, just north of Alghero, and next to the Airport (but no noise). This will be a recurring booking goong forward. Also enjoyed the wildlife, alpine swifts diving in to drink from the pool, large butterflies.

My Wife and I stayed here for 9 nights from 8th July 2023. Having booked the whole trip Including transfers on EasyJet holidays we were whisked by private minivan from Olivia airport in a title over 90 minutes. We were greeted on arrival by a gentlemen who many others call out upon staying here - Ben who throughout our holiday was a credit to the hotel and so friendly efficient and welcoming as indeed were so many other of his colleagues. We were shown to the small Terrace overlooking the pool and gardens and welcomed with an upgraded room and two chilled flutes of. Prosecco. We stayed in the beautiful Superior Junior Suite - room 23, which is part of a block of three rooms down a steep slope from the Reception level. Our room, which housekeeping kept clean every day was large and fry almost like a “boathouse” in style with a wooden slopes ceiling, large double bed and walk in shower with Rainfall head. Our outdoor balcony have us a beautiful view down over fields and deep valleys to pretty Castelsardo village about 1.5kms away by road. If you decide against hiring a car, as we did, the hotel provides a free shuttle from 10 am to a local beach in a Bagnu. We paid the €10 per trip to into the town to meet a couple we know who were staying. Upon a quick phone call the hotel sent a car or mini van to take us home allowing us to visit so many other things including the Town beach in Castelsardo as well as a great snorkelling trip at The Se Project from the local port area. Both are worth checking out. We dined in the hotel on our first and last nights and ate beautiful fish dishes which the hotel specialises in. The in house Sommeliers are knowledgeable and will help you select from their varied wine cellars. Local Beers by the bottle are also available and can be served around the pool. Thank you to Tony who served us with a smile throughout our holiday. Saturday and Fridays are often busy in the restaurant with local couples and small groups coming for Dinner so worth reserving a table at Reception. Sunset was about 9 pm whilst we were there. Breakfast was a decent selection including fresh melon pineapple and other fruits, cereal, yoghurts as well as hot and sweet selections. Hot drinks and eggs (scrambled or boiled) or omelettes to order were always served with a smile by the ladies. As I said in the title this is a resort to kick back enjoy the views and relax in well appointed rooms and enjoy the food. Many other guests seemed to use the hotel as a base to explore the area. We also wen with our friends to a wine tasting at one of the many local wineries. The hotel even has its own Vines! The hotel is up a very steep slope and with no walkable path into town you should either budget for car hire or the hotel shuttle. The pool area is clean with a small Pool with integrated jacuzzi with two standalone whirlpools in the hotel grounds. Highly recommended Thank you to the whole team for a lovely holiday in the heatwav
