DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Olbia - Sardinia

My partner and I loved this hotel as it had lovely facilities and the room exceeded our expectations! Convenient location and the on-site parking was a huge bonus. Staff were friendly so i would definitely recommend if you are looking to explore Olbia!

The property is located an easy 10-15 minute walk from the Corso Umberto which is where most restaurants and shops are located/near. The location made our stay very quiet and peaceful, but also it’s not convenient when you can’t be bothered to walk into Olbia or get a taxi. If you dine at the hotel it’s fine, quite pricey but decent portion sizes. It’s €20 each for room service, at dinner we paid €30 for a wine we then found in a shop for €7.50, the servers are lovely and try hard but I think they’re over-stretched handling the restaurant and bar. The breakfast had a decent selection but none of the food really stayed the right temperature - e.g stone cold pancakes and lukewarm yoghurt. The balcony was huge and had a lovely view (at least from our floor), and the room was cleaned and attended to well. Lots of space and towels and amenities within it, can’t complain. The hotel helped us to organise a rental car for a few days and there was also a designated desk to book a taxi service/La Maddalena excursion which was very helpful and a valuable addition. The pictures of the pool I personally felt misrepresented the size, and we had to ask for the jacuzzi bubbles to be turned on - the water itself remained cold. There isn’t any outdoor toilet so you have to dry off and get dressed if you need the facilities. The bars aren’t manned during the day so if you want to drink before 7pm you’ll struggle.

A good spot to stay if you have a rental car and want free parking, however, I would dread when it came to sleeping because I would wake up with mosquito bites all over my body and face every morning. Our room also smelled like cigarettes when we checked in and occasionally after room service- not sure if the staff smokes on the balcony as they clean the room? I personally would not stay here again.

Stayed in Doubletree hotels in the USA many times, always good, this hotel a bit cut off otherwise very nice and only 10 mins from the airport and a very short taxi ride to restaurants,bars etc.
