Beautiful property with great gym and incredible breakfast
Beautiful property in the heart of the city. Close to all of the neighborhoods you want to explore on foot. Lovely gym available to guests with enough modern equipment to get a great workout in. Rooms were beautifully appointed and comfortable. The breakfast was incredible.

Loved it. Best holiday
The service was excellent, the staff were extremely friendly which I loved the most
The room was a little stale smell. I spoke to manager apparently it was above the restaurant so the room didn’t have a great fresh smell.

excellent place in Cagliari!
Really nice hotel with a lively courtyard of small restaurants. Lovely rooms, mine had a terrace on the courtyard where it was nice to relax in the early evening with a drink. Very large room and bathroom, well supplied with amenities, coffee, and water. It is very very clean and well tended property. The staff was very helpful and welcoming, especially the gentleman who helped with valet and luggage. Easy to walk to the Castello area and see that older part of town with great views and the beautiful cathedral. Also easy to drive out to poetto beach area in less then 15 min. Or on to Villasimius for a nice day trip up the coast.
Honestly cannot think of anything I didn't like. It is a nice luxury hotel.

Classic hotel with nice gym
Classic outlook and high ceiling. Good gym. Breakfast not bad, only the cook cannot make good fried eggs.
The room walls are too dark in colour, really not pleasant.

Fabulous
I liked everything the comfortable room, amazing beds, kind staff, excellent service!
I would say that the only thing maybe would be the restaurant menu, would have preferred more classic Italian food choice and less fancy but still good food. Service was excellent

Beautiful hotel well designed Staff at the desk and in general very helpful Good location even if it’s a little bit out centered
For a five star hotel, some missing: - room not enough soundproof (cause of the marble maybe, we can ear chair, cleaning, walking, light below the door…) - all Chanel on the tv except French one - good breakfast but classic for this kind of hotel, extra on charge - spa is an extra! Not clearly explain on the description

Comfortable room, choice of restaurants, beautiful hotel, nice hotel staff.
SPA - the price for accessing pool and jacuzzi for 1h / 1.5h is already high and we were charged for 1.5h even though we went especially to the men in charge of SPA after 1hour saying that we are leaving. As we were checking out very early nothing could have been done at the reception to correct.

Excellent !!
Outstanding hotel. Cannot find any fault with the facility, staff, and food. We would stay again without reservation. Nicest staff member was “CLAUDIA” but everyone was terrific.
The hotel is a ten to fifteen minute walk to the old town and harbor.

Very welcoming & friendly staff. Quick check in to a clean spacious room. Comfortable large bed, superb shower, big TV. The staff were excellent all week, and recognised us by name. The courtyard with the bar and various restaurants was great - good variety on your doorstep.
It got a little noisy outside but it is quite a busy working city so it’s not surprising. We did have an issue with our air conditioning not really cooling the room enough, but it wasn’t bad.

Luxury and relax
I loved the building’s form with beautiful fountain. The interior design is exceptional. I went to Doglio Club which is a wellness space - massage, fitness area and swimming pool made me feel relaxed. I highly recommend
That swimming pool in wellness area was additionally paid even for hotel guests and the time of use was limited.

Beautiful hotel with the best atmosphere
For the past 5 years we have been coming to Cagliari every year and this was our first time in Palazzo Doglio. We have decided that this will be the only hotel we will be staying at from now on. Whole hotel is decorated very tastefully and the atmosphere is very nice. The rooms are spacious, very clean and have a great ambiance. Beds are exceptionally comfortable and bathrooms could not be more perfect. We had a bathtub, shower, bidet and two sinks. We appreciated linen slippers (that were changed after a few days) and great quality of towels, bathrobes, etc. All the skin and hair products are simply amazing. We also appreciated that they brought us personalized Palazzo Doglio water many times during the day. The staff is very attentive, helpful and extremely nice. The hotel is a 5 min walk to one of the main walking streets in the city center but the location is perfect. Because of the lively atmosphere in the courtyard you kind of get a feeling that the hotel has a city center of its own. Having breakfast outside in this courtyard felt very nice. It is definitely one of the best hotels we have stayed at and cannot wait to return next year.

Great location, excellent breakfast, very attentive staff. Alice in concierge was a highlight, really helped us plan our vacation.
The poor sound proofing was not great and you can really hear all the movement in the rooms above us No iron in the room, you will need to request a steamer Water in the room wasn't always replaced daily
