DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Olbia - Sardinia

Veldig bra hotell som alltid. Men lå 10 min gange fra sentrum og det var ikke så hyggelig nabolag med løshunder som gikk rundt.

Check-in was a nightmare. We booked 4 rooms back in November 2016 and when we arrived in August 2017 all rooms were on different floors. We even e-mailed the Hotel at the time to request all rooms were near to each other as we were one big family. hotel was nothing special - quite sparse really.

Arrived here on a Sunday afternoon, and was greeted with a very warm welcome and a delightful choc-chip cookie! checked-in and away to our room. was allocated a disabled room (first for me - although the bathroom was bigger, was not used to the different equipment that comes with a disabled room). in the evening when returned from dinner, there seemed to be an issue with the aircon and it was very warm and uncomfortable in the room. called reception and they initially told me would have to wait until the morning for the technician to come, but i kindly asked for someone to come and have a look from the front desk as it was too warm to sleep in. one of the front office staff came up and agreed it was much to warm, so managed to find another room for us to stay in that night. technician sorted out the aircon issue the following morning and all was fine after that. area itself is a walkable distance to the town centre, but would highly recommend renting a car so that you can explore the nearby beaches and the restaurants slightly outside of the town centre, which i found much more delightful.

Overall, it was a good stay without any major problems. For travellers considering this hotel, please note the following. 1. The location is slightly awkward if you do not have a car. If you decide to stay here make sure you rent a car otherwise it will be a 30-min walk to Olbia town centre. 2. Housekeeping is not always timely. They sometimes do not make up your room until 3-4pm. Also cotton pads / cotton buds which are standard in many hotels are not in bathrooms by default. You have to ask for them at the reception and they are not replenished by housekeeping. 3. Quality of toileteries are quite poor. 4. WIFI connection is very disappointing.

A very relaxing stay at the double tree, the staff are friendly and informative and will happily assist in all matters possible. The Hotel is a little out of the way but a 20 minute walk or 5 minutes in the car, or even a 1 euro 50 bus ticket will get you into the centre of olbia ( Number 11 bus) Dont forget to validate your ticket. If you do not validate it there is a whopping 50 euro fine. The pool was suppossed to be closed when we visited early October. What they mean is the pool has no life guard and they are not responsable for you having an accident. You can still use the pool and loungers. I did however have a couple of disagreements with Germans who had gone off for the day and left thier towels on the pool furniture to reserve it. My view is that if they are not there it is unfair and unreasonable to do this. I am now back, chilled and refreshed and will be going back........Enjoy. Oh, if you intend travelling around, Book a hire car.
