We only had one night at the Grand Hotel President, but it was delightful. The hotel has a touch of old world elegance and our room was large, beautifully appointed, with a wonderful bathroom. The staff was courteous and helpful and breakfast was delicious.

We had a pleasure to live at this cosy and very comfortable hotel 7 days during our participation at the International Choir Sacred Music festival in Olbia.
Our impression in a couple of words - Very Good Hotel with a very friendly and helpful staff.
Advantages of locality:
1) Hotel located not far from the passengers ferry port (may be the closest hotel to the port) but in the silent place and in a few minutes walk from the central street of old part of Olbia.
2) In a 5-7 minutes walk there is a railway station and a bus station of bus which goes to the nice sandy beaches around Olbia. The season`s scedule of these busses (#4 and #5) you can receive on reception.
3) near the hotel there is a transport interchange if you want to go by car to other parts of Sardinia.

About the breakfasts - good enough choice of food for the good mood and pleasant starting of the new day, indeed

We would like to say many thanks for the comfort and hospitality to all staff of this Hotel.

We stayed at this hotel at the end of August and we thought it was very good value for money. The room was spotless, very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was not too impressive, but was good enough. All in all, I would definitely recommend it. It's location is also quite convenient if you want to visit the north east of Sardinia.

This is a business hotel in the city centre and feels like one. Don't expect any more and you'll be satisfied.

Cons: No pool, front desk staff not the most enterprising or proactive (eg, when asked about opening hours to local pharmacy or restaurants, they just looked at us blankly and replied they did not know, although when asked to please call and find out they were happy to help -- it just never occurred to them to take the initiative to phone on their own), bed linens quite worn and pilled, poor recommendations and directions for dining and beaches, poor noise insulation between rooms, internet and WiFi constantly down.

Pros: Proximity to Olbia's Umberto Corso and the nightly festival over the summer months (live music, street vendors, food carts, outdoor films -- quite lively! we enjoyed it but can see it being too loud for others as it runs late), generous with toiletries, housekeeping, friendly (but not the brightest, see above) front desk staff.

OK overall, but would not stay in again.
