Fantastic and positively surprising in basically every way. A bed far too firm for my back issues and cold pancakes at breakfast is the only aspects I can find to wish was different. But that’s dramatically overshadowed by all positives of saying at Nautilus.
A few examples of things we weren’t expecting that contributed to an amazing stay:
- just how close to the beach it was
- having sun beds at the beach included
- bikes to borrow, free of cost
- being provided a hand written list of restaurant and bar recommendations by the receptionist, when asked about how to best get downtown
Thank you for a great stay! Really recommend it to anyone considering a stay in Cagliari.

Great staff extremely helpful. Breakfast over the top! Location close to beach and walkable restaurants. Room is large for Europe. Street parking only. It was available but it’s not peak season. Laundry is overpriced. Great experience

I have stayed here before. Great room, great location - probably best in Cagliari. Hot tub, bright and clean and modern and great staff. Nothing to dislike. This is how to do a hotel.

Firstly, the staff were brilliant, they could not have been more helpful. However, we were a little disappointed with the lack of amenities, the pool was closed, a/c unavailable, no drinking glasses, and the plastic cup in the bathroom had calcium residue around its rim.
The surface of the desk top was in very poor condition. We did enjoy the use of the free cycles, and the easy availability of the local bus behind the hotel was a bonus.
The breakfast was very good, and the staff were very pleasant.

We loved our private garden with the hot tub and how easy it was to walk to the beach along the road that’s closed to traffic. The courtesy bikes are nice too! We enjoyed our entire experience there. Great restaurants to walk to also some right on the beach and others along the closed road all with fabulous food. It was a great place to start our Sardinian vacation. We highly recommend Hotel Nautilus.
