We stayed here in september for one week, on arival our room wasnt ready, no offer of a complemtary room to freshen up in until ours was ready, so we had to leae our bags with recpetion and call back later. the hotel is not a short strl into town it takes about 20 to 30 minutes past the urine stench sea walls, no beach near the hotl unless you are happy to stagger down the rocks and perch amoung the broken bottels left by the night drinkers. Algehro is lovely and we had som fabulous food there, lovely cafes and bars. But do not vist Carlos V, there must be better hotels near by, we stayed when it was quiet but no upgrad, jus tuck at the rear of the hotel with no view apart fom some one else accommodation. we only at breakfast in the hotel and that was alwas cold, dreadful coffee totally stewed. I have stayed in better lower rated hotels where the staff are helpful, watch out for the towel police by the pool.

We spent 4 nights in the Carlos V in Sept 2011 at the beginning of a 10-day holiday in Sardinia. We were looking for a relaxing, luxurious start to our holiday and we found that in the Carlos V which we reached via taxi from Alghero airport in under 20 minutes. The reception area does not look like that of a 5-star hotel, but we were not disappointed with any other aspects of the hotel. Our room was spacious and much more stylish than it looks in the official photos - we had a lovely sea view even though we had not paid for one, and both the room and bathroom were well fitted out. We loved the pool and the pool area - quiet, spotlessly clean and great for sunbathing. The terrace and bar are perfect for lunch or a drink before strolling into the old town in the evening, and the staff were really excellent and totally welcoming. We didn't eat in the restaurant in the evenings as it was very quiet, but we did have lunch on a couple of days and the food was really high quality. Great breakfast buffet every morning.The lack of wi-fi was somewhat frustrating but there is internet access in the lobby.

It's not the liveliest spot in the world but it was perfect for what we are looking for and the nightly walk along the coast into Alghero town to explore the cobbled streets and eat in one of its many restaurants was one of the highlights of our holiday. Definitely recommend!

Great service.

Nice rooms.

Magnificent view.

I will recommend every one to stay at the Hotel.

We stayed for 10 days at the end of August 2011 in an Executive Double with sea view. The room was spacious and very clean. The beds were very comfortable and sheets/towels were changed everyday. Breakfast was very good with a wide choice. The pool was very large and very well kept with plenty of choice of sunbeds. Lunch in the hotel was reasonably priced (for a 5* hotel) and very good. A couple of nights we dined at the hotel and again that was excellent with prices comparable to fine restaurants in the town. The most notable plus point for this hotel was the staff - extremely professional and very friendly. If we were to say there were any negative aspects then we would say the small tv and the lack of WIFI - very minor points. Overall excellent.
