Horrible. The hotel was not as I expected it to be. Pictures certainly do not match reality. There was dust around vents. No phone to communicate with the front desk in case of an emergency. The shower faucet kept falling on our heads. Water pressure was weak. The hair dryer was not universal. There’s no laundry service unlike described. The beach chairs and umbrellas are also a surcharge BUT not described in the booking. The only great thing about this hotel is the cleaning personnel. On top of that they asked you to paid at front for the whole stay and we needed up leaving the hotel three days before the original date.

A nice hotel to enjoy Golfo Aranci
It's a very nice hotel with a very friendly staff.
It's right next to the beach and a short walk from the town center.

This was my second stay at Hotel Castello. I originally chose this location because of its proximity to the beach and shallow bay. I returned for the friendly staff, who remembered me even after 3 years had passed! This hotel provides all of the basics for a pleasant stay. The staff helped me organize a trip to Tavolara island with a local boat captain. It was an experience to remember. A special thanks to owner Gina, who will help you with any of your needs!
Grazie ancora Gina per un soggiorno molto piacevole... spero tanto di tornare l'anno prossimo. Il tuo sorriso mi fa sentire come se io tornassi a casa mia quando arrivo a Golfo Aranci! Cari saluti, Annabella

Easy beach access. Good parking. Helpful friendly staff. All the room lacked was a kettle for that evening drink. Access to the shower was a bit narrow but a good shower in itself.

Staff was very friendly and breakfast always plentyful, but limited in choice of fresh fruit. Rooms and Hotel itself was clean, but air-conditioning not really efficient enough. We were surprised about the rule of having to use a swim cap in the pool and that there weren‘t any sun lounger around the pool. You can only use the hotels private beach if you hire a sun lounger. If you don‘t want to do that, you will have to fight for a space on the public part of the beach.

Fantastic little hotel right on the beach. We went in the first week of June and the town was quiet and peaceful. If you can afford it, it's definitely worth the extra cost to get a room with a sea view.
Staff are so friendly and helpful from the cleaning staff to the manageress. Room was spotless. Breakfast buffet was delicious. Designated area of the beach was clean and had ample sun beds and umbrellas.
Our only gripe was the rather weak air conditioning unit. Little more than a fan really and we couldn't sleep with the windows open due to mosquitoes. Otherwise, a perfect hotel.

Excellent service
We stayed as a couple for 9 days in Hotel Castello and the service was amazing thanks to Mrs Gina. We have booked a room with a sea view and I can say that it was well worth it. The view is splendid. The rooms are of a decent size but the shower is a bit tight. The Wi-Fi worked very well in the hotel and on the beach.
For the beach we had reserved the chairs and parasol (20E/per day) ahead of time as well as the towels (3E/towel). The beach is not too large but the sand is white and the water crystal clear and not very deep for a long distance.
Mrs Gina gave us good recommandations for restaurants and tours. Mrs Gina is a very pleasant person and takes care of her clients with always a smile.

Sea view rooms are beautiful and make your holiday
This hotel was lovely. On arrival, the receptionist offered me a cheap upgrade to a sea view room which was stunning and made the balcony lovely. The plugs in Sardinia were also different and they were able to offer me adapters. Breakfast was delicious with lots of choice, the free wifi is great and works on the beach too and the local area has a lot of good food and drink plus excursions which is brilliant. I really enjoyed my time here and would go back without hesitation.

Great location by beach - basic hotel
We had a sea view room - well worth it. The staff were very friendly. Rooms are basic (which is what we expected for the low price) and comfortable. Shower could have been cleaner - definitely needed some TLC. Breakfast was basic but not too bad - again for the price of the stay it was as to be expected. Would stay again and definitely get a sea view room again as is worth it!
