Overall Ratings & Reviews Smy Carlos V Alghero

The Hotel is situated in a wonderful spot with a fantastic sea view. You can tell it was a top place when it was built but now it seems a little outdated. The rooms are comfortable with nice linens and a great shower. However, some details are inadequate for a presumed 5-star Hotel. Some examples: no face tissues in the bathroom, no extra pillows with different height (the 2 in the bed were too low to be used singles and too high to be used doubles). Another sub-par experience was breakfast: cold fried eggs (pre-cooked), cold cuts not fresh and not high quality, no sausages, no freshly squeezed orange juice, etc. In summary a good stay, but it should have been better for the fame and the price.

Friendly helpful staff. Good restaurant. Great location, with fabulous outlook and views. Very clean, spacious rooms. Big balconies. Decent breakfast with lots of choice. Huge pool. Nice outdoor bar. Easy parking. Some tired furniture and carpets could do with refurbishment. More furniture required in larger rooms. Pool area could do with more landscaping and planting. Indoor bar area very small.

Lovely hotel and friendly staff. We were 1/2 board sea view room all was perfect. Great sunsets location. Lovely hammam overall a very relaxing stay

We’ve just had 9 days at this beautiful hotel in a double superior room with balcony overlooking sea and pool. Room was large, modern and clean. Lovely large bathroom with complimentary products and hairdryer. Mini bar and safe also. Huge storage / hanging space in wardrobes. We asked for a rollaway bed for our daughter which was kindly provided. All staff were lovely and very helpful. Pool is large with plenty of sun beds and never an issue finding one no matter what time we went to the pool (opens at 10). We hired a car and always able to park near hotel or in their small car park. Walk to old town is a gentle 15 min stroll along the stunning seafront road with market sellers at night, bars and restaurants en-route too. Overall a wonderful stay in beautiful Alghero and will surely return to this hotel.

A great property to stay in Alghero.

We don’t have AC in the room for the entire 4 nights and no water for 18 hours.

I don’t understand why this hotel it’s listed as 5 starts. We stayed one night without been able to shower because it did not have water. We had to sleep without flossing the toilet after everyone in the room used it. The AC did not work

Thank you for making our trip so memorable.

We stayed for a night and it was great. The hotel looks a bit dated but the stay was comfortable.

Greta property with easy walking distance .

Overpriced room with an amazing view but outdated furnishings and air conditioner that didn't work, even after being"fixed". Worst bed I've slept on since camping on a roll out mat 20 years ago. Restaurant and bar service were great when available. Disappointed we couldn't get a meal at the hotel at 9.25pm, informed that the restaurant closes at 9.30pm, which I'm sure most would agree is a little too early for a European summer, particularly when there is no room service available. Location made up for many of the hotel's shortcomings.

Exceptional staff. Great service. Great room. The breakfast is terrific. My family and I had a fantastic experience. Gym leaves something to be desired and there is a lawn beyond the pool area that looks unfinished. Given how great this hotel is overall, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt that the lawn is probably a project in progress and will look very different sometime soon.

This was an amazing hotel, perfect location. This was a excellent stay.

Beautiful place. Beautiful food and pool. Service great. Terrible pillows and really uncomfortable beds. The room was really really hot! So rooms with a view are on fire, way to hot for us in room and seemed this couldn’t be fixed, aircon not great. So for 5 star bit dissatisfied with a fee things sadly

The Carlos V Hotel is one of the most brilliantly located properties in Alghero, it's right on the sea front, with amazing Mediterranean views it's in a relatively quiet residential area so total silence (and amazing sleep) in the night time. The facilities are wonderful: our room was huge, with nice added benefits like bathrobes, slippers, quality toiletries, bottled water (still & sparkling) provided daily. Cleanliness was incredible - the hotel obviously has high standards - this was one of the cleanest hotel rooms I ever stayed in. The staff are wonderful, very friendly and accommodating - especially the reception staff . Food - we didn't avail of breakfast or the half board evening meals... but we did have lunch in the poolside bar a few times, and it was excellent quality, and reasonably priced. They also have a fantastic wine list!

This is a very well kept hotel in a beautiful location, and I literally had no complaints while staying there. However, upon returning to my home country, it transpired that Smy Carlos V Alghero had charged my credit card (presented on check in) for the two night stay, despite me having prepaid using my debit card upon booking. Honest mistake, I assumed, and quickly made contact with the hotel's reception and accounts department. I received a couple of emails from reception to the effect of "we're working on it" and almost two weeks later, and without any correspondence, I noted that I had been refunded a sum of money similar to the amount charged to my card, but not the same. When I sought answers from the hotel, they did not reply to my email some six days ago. All I wanted was clarity and fairness, and they declined to provide it. Even when I made it clear that I would be forced to leave a negative review unless they at least had the decency to explain their mistake, they chose not to respond. In summary, this is a beautiful hotel with courteous staff, but I have been left extremely disappointed with the lack of transparency they have provided regarding a financial error on their part.

It was a great experience. Thanks for everything.

Good hotel!

This was a great hotel, very relaxed. Not too far , 15 minutes, walk to town and a very pleasant walk. Just across the road are lovely spots to go swimming off the rocks as well

Not what I would call a five star hotel. Hotel bedrooms a bit dated and pool area needs refurb, garden very bare and wall needs painting. We found the staff on reception unhelpful, asked about car hire one day and the lady rang the car company asked if they had the car we want, they said no and she just hung up without asking us if we would like a different type of car. We also got a telling off/threatening letter in our room for using our own iron. We didn’t appreciate the tone of the letter. No tea/coffee facilities in room unless you pay per week. Best thing about this hotel were the friendly breakfast staff, thank you. Breakfast was just average however with not much choice. Being honest I have stayed in much better 4 star hotels and won’t be back to this one.
