Smy Carlos V Wellness & Spa Alghero

Beautiful Location, but Overall an Average experience We recently stayed at this property in Alghero and would describe our overall experience as okay, especially considering the expectations that come with a 5-star hotel. The location is definitely a highlight — just a short 15-minute walk from Alghero’s charming old town and set right along the coastline, offering lovely sea views. The property itself is well-maintained. The breakfast spread was good, with a decent variety to choose from, and the swimming pool area was nice for a relaxed afternoon. That said, the experience felt more transactional than truly hospitable — something you wouldn’t typically expect at a 5-star level. While everything functioned well, it lacked the warmth, attentiveness, and personalization that elevate a hotel stay from good to exceptional. If you’re looking for a conveniently located property with a solid baseline of amenities, this hotel delivers. But if you’re expecting a truly luxurious, service-driven 5-star experience, you might find it a bit underwhelming

We encountered few bathroom maintenance issues which luckily did not spoil our stay there. Overall including breakfast it didn't seem as excellent value for money. The staff was very friendly.

Good but not a 5-star experience The Hotel is situated in a wonderful spot with a fantastic sea view. You can tell it was a top place when it was built but now it seems a little outdated. The rooms are comfortable with nice linens and a great shower. However, some details are inadequate for a presumed 5-star Hotel. Some examples: no face tissues in the bathroom, no extra pillows with different height (the 2 in the bed were too low to be used singles and too high to be used doubles). Another sub-par experience was breakfast: cold fried eggs (pre-cooked), cold cuts not fresh and not high quality, no sausages, no freshly squeezed orange juice, etc. In summary a good stay, but it should have been better for the fame and the price.

Not a 5* hotel Overall, passable experience for a 5* hotel. The good: - Big rooms and nice views - Big bathroom - nice location walking distance from all key spots - nice staff (except the luggage person who seemed to be very angry) The bad: - crazy you need to pay 40e to use the SPA, you’d assume that payinf 300e for the room would give you access to the SPA too but no. - shower was leaking and “flooded” the bathroom - nothing serious but annoying - they had no hard pillows so all pillows were soft and thinner than paper

Brilliant Hotel in quiet area The hotel is highly recommended. Very friendly ladies at check-in who even gave us a free room upgrade. Everything at breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly. Room with balcony and wonderful view of the pool, sea and sunset. Old town of Alghero is about 10-15 minutes walk away. Free parking at the hotel. Everything was great and therefore full points.

Relaxing stay Lovely hotel and friendly staff. We were 1/2 board sea view room all was perfect. Great sunsets location. Lovely hammam overall a very relaxing stay
