Hotel Il Gabbiano

A three-star hotel facing the town beach in Alghero, between the beach and the old town, with a bus stop outside.

Why people love it

• Location. Guests describe it as opposite the beach and between the beaches and the historic center, with a bus stop out front.
• Staff. Guests say the staff were professional and extremely friendly, and one says the manager solved a booking issue.
• Breakfast. Guests call it plentiful and very good.
• Sea-view rooms. One guest on the 3rd floor thanked the hotel for an upgrade to a room with a sea view.

Why they come back

"We stayed at this property both last year and this year, both at the end of June."

The worst thing guests say

Several guests mention small, dated rooms with hard beds and a tiny elevator. In July 2026 a guest in room 12 gave 2 stars after being woken at 6:15 a.m. three mornings by guests in a neighboring room. Parking is limited and expensive, and a 2026 guest called the breakfast coffee bad. Older complaints from 2021 to 2023 mention mosquitoes and a hotel that needs renovation.

Insider tips

• Rooms facing the main road were described as quieter by one guest.
• Private parking is limited and expensive, and street parking is scarce.
