Fantastic location, lovely hotel, amazing staff.
Amazing location , beautiful clean hotel and incredibly friendly and helpful staff!
A bit pricey for what you got.

The hotel is superb. The staff organised a tuk tuk trip around Cagliari and also a private fishing trip out of the local
Great location, lots of local restaurants and bars. Easy to get to Cagliari. Lovely clean beach right over the road from the hotel.
The negative for us was the firmness of the bed, but that is very subjective. It didn’t really affect our stay there.

A fabulous stay in this art deco hotel by the beach .
We had a very nice room with its own garden . Every day we had fresh towels and the room was cleaned to a high standard. Breakfast every morning was just right and you could have as much or as little as you wanted. The beach is so close and it’s super to be able to use the beds there . The pool was very refreshing and a nice place to cool down .
I cat think of anything - we were very happy.

Simply exceptional! Got also a free upgrade to sea view room where we were enjoying the sea from bed
Perfect location, great breakfast, and very pleasant surprises like free use of bikes, free use of parasols and sun beds and possibility to have room service thanks to the partnerships with the neighboring restaurants.
Something really minor, it would be good to have a water pump for feet at the entrance of the hotel.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Nautilus. The staff were very friendly and attentive.
So close to the beach, nice variety for breakfast, bikes to use free of use as well as sun beds on the beach. The pool is so nice and was lovely and quiet when we were there.
It was a little pricey for a 3 star hotel but it was peak summer so very understandable. No coffee in the room.

Charming
Charming room, nice staff, good breakfast, location across boardwalk from beach and walking distance to many restaurants. Sea view is partially blocked by beachfront building on half the patio, but just angle your chair. Free daybikes for boardwalk. Grassy areas and paths, hidden pool. Very relaxing!
Fees for pool/beach towels don’t match this price and style. Like an actual rental charge per day, not just a deposit.

Great hotel.
Our room and the sea view met our expectations! We were happy to stay in Nautilus.
Breakfast was every day the same. Carrots and cherry tomatoes were the only vegetables…

A perfect location and a very modern building.
It was a perfect solution to visit Cagliari and enjoy the beach.The property is located near the bus station going direct in to the city. Breakfast was very good and a lot of facilities for gest to go around by bike,also.
Our room was sea view but as it was behind another building,the sea view was partial and did not aloud to see the sun rise.

Very close to the beach and superb location. Rooms have a direct beach view. Breakfast is also good, value for money.
Rooms are smaller but have a good view so price for the rooms seemed high

Comfortable stay close to Poetto beach
Cozy room, we only had one carry on, if we had bigger suitcases it may have gotten cramped. Comfortable bed and great shower, very close to the beach but aside from their affiliated restaurant not much around. This was most likely due to being before high season.

Fabulous hotel, staff, location, pluses!

Nice hotel with good breakfast - near beach, and close to city and airport
Breakfast was better than most restaurants at the same standard. Fresh bread and croisants, better cold cuts, better variety - and friendly staff assisting. At first I got a room without a desk for my computer, - but as I mentioned this at the reception, I got a better room with a desk. Friendly and helpful staff. Good location near the beach and in vicinity of the airport. Nice seafood restaurant close to hotel - associated with the hotel.
The technological level of the room made it hard to operate TV and lights.

Very good
Overall I would recommend it and I would visit again. Value for money is good. We had a room with balcony and it was really cute. Loved the decoration. Room was tidy and clean also. Only thing that I would say wasn't on point was that I had trouble breathing during the night, not sure why that was. Maybe lack of oxygen in the room or could have something to do with the building. This was my experience as someone who is very sensitive to react to dust, mold etc. imperfections in the air. For others I think there would be no problem. My boyfriend didn't have any problems. The location was great as it was just by the beach. We even saw flamingos close by. Staff was also friendly and ready to help. It as a very good accommodation :)

Very good
Close to the Poetto beach. Close to Bus stop. Bed is very convenient to sleep. Small cozy balcony with furniture. Free bikes to rent.
There are no dishes and glasses in the room. We had breakfast at 8.30am, and scramble eggs had finished. Breakfast is planned 7-10am, but nobody served them again. There is no coffee machine in a restaurant, so you need to wait a waiter brings you some coffee.

A great hotel in a busy popular area with beach.
Spotless. Excellent staff. Comfortable beds and good shower. Excellent breakfast.
The room and balcony were a little small. The curtain around the bed seemed unnecessary and a nuisance.

For a quiet, nothing to do except for sea, sand, good food, accommodation and hospitality
Good breakfast, nice rooms and simple walk across the road to the beach. The staff were lovely and couldn't do more for you. Having a link with a beach bar and also a restaurant, both within 50m of the hotel, was a great asset.

My family and I had a wonderful stay!
The location was prime. Everyone was so warm and welcoming and the hotel was exceptionally clean.
If I had to complain about anything I’d say the pillows. Just a little too flat for me, but I did double up and that helped.
6 October 2023
Wonderful respite from the stresses of home.
The location was very good - close to the beach and a number of good restaurants. A smaller, quieter beach is 30 mins easy walk away. Buses to Cagliari are frequent and easy to use. Breakfast was excellent. Staff were discreet and courteous. And it was very clean!
I found the bed a bit too hard and did not sleep comfortably. We like to sleep with a window open, but found that we were woken in the early hours by gurgling and water sloshing noises from the jacuzzi - maybe it is cleaned remotely or something at that time. The swimming pool is small and largely in the shade.

Friendly, clean and stunning location.
Location, cleanliness and staff. Room 204 had a great view and was a good size for a longer stay. Good wifi.
No coffee/tea facilities in the room. We brought our own. Also the outdoor furniture on the room balcony was not particularly comfortable.
