It was a great stay. Room was super clean and trash was emptied very often. Room is quiet and size is good. Employees are super nice and helpful. There are restaurants inside the hotel area. We did not have a chance to try but it seems nice.

The hotel is so beautiful and the staff is excellent. Loved the breakfast too. so well organised, clean and very comfortable.
There was no iron in the rooms. They would give you a small steamer upon request which was very time consuming and not so effective.

Great luxury hotel in Cagliari
Very well located and super well equipped hotel, staffs were super helpful and it was a very pleasant stay at the Palazzo Doglio hotel

Good hotel, great staff and comfortable accommodation.
Staff very professional and friendly. Hotel and the piazza that the hotel is part of gives a good selection of restaurants (5 or 6). Location quiet but still a only a short drive from Cagliari centre and the port area. Room comfortable and quiet with a good sized terrace overlooking the inner courtyard. Only stayed one night but can't fault any part of the experience. Valet parking available (around 20 euros per night) and public parking within walking distance of the hotel. If staying longer it would probably be a good base to explore Cagliari Old Town and the port area.
Not really a dislike but make sure you use sat nav to get to the hotel if driving. Quite a number of turns up side streets from Cagliari centre to reach the hotel.

Very nice higher end hotel. A very classy, enjoyable, and relaxing way to finish up our tour of Sardinia
Beautiful property. Just enough of a hike from town center to work off the dinner and gelato. Staff was great. Great breakfast, a lot of dining options on property and close by.
For a 5 star hotel there could have been a bit more attention to cleanliness of floor and shower.

Elegant suites, exceptional service, and the perfect city-center location.
I highly recommend booking the Suite category – it’s exceptionally spacious, beautifully designed, and offers a perfect blend of comfort and elegance. Everything was spotless and well maintained. The atmosphere of the hotel is refined yet welcoming, with great attention to detail in every corner. The entire staff was outstanding – extremely friendly, genuinely helpful, and highly professional, always going above and beyond to make the stay special. Service felt personal and warm without ever being intrusive. A great bonus is the secure garage for parking, which is wonderfully convenient and only €20 per day – a real plus when staying in the city center.

Really neat and pleasant stay.
Staff always available to give indication or listen to requests. Room was really comfortable. Close to city center. Lots of activity in the central plaza during the weekend but we could barely hear any noise so no issues. Breakfast was great.

A true city attraction and a place full of charm. Spotlessly clean with exceptionally friendly and attentive staff. The modern gym is equipped with brand‑new equipment, and the beautiful courtyard offers several restaurants and bars to suit every taste – an outstanding hotel!

Saved the day!
This location is beautiful. The breakfast buffet is vast & delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly. We arrived early morning as we were leaving an AirBnb with roaches. We were exhausted & frazzled but the staff took our things to our room & brought us to breakfast. Changed the entire trip!! We are so thankful for Palazzo Doglio!!!

A great luxury accommodation. Attentive staff. Good SPA facilities and amazing treatment. Good cocktails at the bar.
They should have more people preparing coffees at breakfast time (or more coffee machines). Very good breakfast buffet food, but coffees always arriving late (literally at the end of the breakfast), and other guests having similar experience.

Nice place for visit in Cagliari
Room is specious, comfy bed, large bathroom and nice interior. Hotel is beautiful and restaurants inside it serve delicious food especially pizzeria "Mairoi". The staff was friendly especially the consierge.
We reserved a deluxe family room that should come with the additional sofa and should be larger in size but we got a regular one that in general costs less.

Wonderful stay
Excellent breakfast every morning in their restaurant with a choice of indoor outdoor seating. The hotel and the outdoor areas were all very clean and well maintained. The rooms were exactly as indicated on the website and we had a lovely room with balcony overlooking the hotel square which was serviced twice per day and was immaculate. The choice of restaurants and quality of the food and service was excellent.

Swimming pool not included in the price, this should not be the case for this type of hotel. This should be clearly communicated everywhere.

Very comfortable- food was delicious - entertainment was the best
Class- not overly priced so keep it that way and open some more
Little bit of snobbery at the reception when we arrived as of course we had driven 200 miles so weren’t in class clothes or clean- we were tired - there was just a bit of judgment going on with three men behind the counter - we did not appreciate that - Their attitude changed the moment they saw our car - which sort of confirms the snobbery
