Miramare Cagliari Hotel Museo

The hotel is located in a convenient spot with most things in walkable distance or a quick bus ride away. They're redoing the street in front of the hotel--nothing to do with the hotel, but if you have mobility issues, it might be a problem as taxi can't come near the door. The inside itself is unique with all sorts of bric brac scattered about. The rooms were spacious and had everything you need. Worth noting that unless you have a harbour view, your windows will open into a pretty depressing indoor courtyard, with little light--it's a historic building, this isn't unusual but worth noting. The only real issue is the issue with the keys-- the doors have the original locks on them. Which is fine, except by their own admission the one for Room 4 is problematic. It was a pain to open and close and frankly the whole door didn't seem very secure anyways. You had to leave your keys at the front desk when you went out which would be fine if they a) told you that when you checked in so you didn't get a lecture later, and made sure there was always someone at the front desk or the door was unlocked. Unfortunately a number of times I was forced to wait around for someone to come back when I was heading out, so I could leave my key. If they could get this ridiculous key situation sorted I'd happily give them a 5/5, but over 3 days it became increasingly annoying.

Great location, really friendly staff and clean comfortable room. As a solo traveller felt very well looked after and safe. Only downside is rooms not well sound-proofed so you hear all noises: moving of furniture/ voices/ cars outside. Really recommend for location and quirky vibe.

The design of the hotel is beautiful - there is so much art to see and enjoy. The breakfast room has a fantastic view and the staff are very helpful. We chose this hotel as it is described as having parking - by UK standards this is not strictly true - there is a big public carpark nearby, which charges about 14 euro / day. Actually this was a great option given how tightly packed the old town is, but it wasn't what we expected. Its not so easy to access the parking either - I'd suggest getting advice from the hotel beforehand. I mentioned in my booking that one of our group needs gluten free food, and asked again at breakfast on day 1. Breakfast was great but there were few options for my friend. Honestly I was surprised that rice-based cereals or gluten-free bread packs weren't sourced given we were staying 4 nights. But honestly, these 2 comments are minor, in general this hotel is really fabulous. It is a real treat to spend time somewhere so beautiful

Beautiful hotel. Tons of charm and very unique. We had a beautiful room with a fantastic view of the port across the way and the busy street below. The staff was amazing. Pietro, Nicola, Ricardo and everyone else were extremely friendly and helpful. Pietro offered tons of advice and assistance. Parking was cheap and easy; directly across the hotel in the port parking lot.
