The Hotel and Staff were lovely and the breakfasts were fab. As a vegetarian, I struggled with the choice of good restaurants in the area. Plenty of Beachside establishments but not a great selection when you don't eat fish or meat.

A Great Choice! Book It.
We loved this place! We stayed for 3 nights and were glad to have stayed at this resort. The reception and staff were very friendly and helpful, both in getting us settled and in recommending places for us to eat. They also arranged for a few taxis for us and made reservations for us for dinner one night. The room was super comfortable--the bed was unique (circular) and we had our own hot tub. The air conditioning worked very well. We spent part of one day and the majority of another at the pool: there were plenty of seats, the pool itself was relaxing and quiet, and the water was perfect. The breakfast was very good--not quite as many options as some other places we stayed in Italy, but certainly enough to give you a good start to your day. The best place we ate (maybe on the whole trip) was right down the block at Antica Cagliari.

Great location and staff were really helpful. would be good if they had some coffee/tea facilities in the rooms. They had a couple of kettles to loan out but not enough for those that wanted them. The bar was stocked with beer and wine. No soft drinks or mixers!! The ground floor rooms with hot tubs were swarming with mosquitoes - book an upstairs room if you intend to use your balcony.

Hotel Nautilus is a fantastic place to stay. It is literally across the road from the beach and is an easy bus ride from the city/station or about 15 minutes by taxi from the airport. Our room was spotlessly clean and airy - and the room is cleaned daily during your stay. The bathroom was great with a lovely large shower. The staff were incredibly knowledgable and helpful and are on hand 24 hours a day. There is a very nice pool, hot tub and sun loungers (some rooms have their own hot tub). There are restaurants and bars nearby, with quite a few on the beach. I highly recommend a stay at Hotel Nautilus.

Cannot believe this is just rated as a 3 star?!? Better than that! The staff at the front desk, in the breakfast area and cleaning crews all get great reviews. The location of the hotel on the beach cannot be beat. The free use of the bikes makes getting around the immediate area with ease. Really liked the room. Even with the unexpected extended stay having the hot tub right outside the door along with the private backyard made the room area even bigger. If we ever make it back to Cagliari we will definitely stay here again.

We stayed for five days. Lovely hotel close to Poetto Beach, so quite. We would have liked in room coffee maker. Also, the brochure didn't explain the AC and how it operates. FYI the latch to the patio must be in the closed position. If you go out to the patio your AC will turn off and you will have to rest/ turn on again. No plugs for sink. Then we had to pay additional charges to use the shower facilities on the check out day as our flight was at 7pm. 10 euros each. Book a early flight if you don’t mind paying that price. Just saying.

New/very clean hotel. Great location by the beach which had white sand and clear waters (probably dependant on time of year) but beach was nice when we were there in June. The hotel gives you beach umbrella for free and the Diavlo cafe gives you sunbeds for free when you mention you're from this hotel. Great cycle path along the beach to get some exercise, you can use bikes from the hotel for free. A few restaurants in area plus a delicious gelateria Bobocono. But if you want more choice go to the city centre which is only a 20min bus ride. Lovely staff, reasonable breakfast and comfortable room, would recommend.

Response from The Guests Relations Manager on 3 Mar 2022
Dear Kellie, we were are very sorry that you did not elaborate on the reasons of your dissatisfaction. As reflected by all the other reviews on this site (and others) we always strive to provide our guests with the best experience. But wait... you never stayed at the hotel. In fact you cancelled your reservation the same day of arrival. Is it possible that this negative rating was given to us not because of any fault of ours, but because, in accordance with the cancellation fees, you were charged for your stay? And that it was not enough for you that, even if we weren't under any obligation to do so since the penalty for cancellation was 100%, we sent you a voucher for half the amount for a future stay? We might never know, Kellie, unless you call us again. If you do, this time it might be more pleasant if you avoided veiled threats of negative reviews in order to coerce us into doing what you want. We have sufficient confidence in the discernment of the readers to assess for themselves when a judgement is made on a well-founded basis and when it is the result of retaliation. We really hope you make use of the voucher we gave you, Kellie. The colour of sunrise over our sea can sweeten even the most bitter days.

Beautiful Seaside Hotel
We loved everything about this hotel! From the time we checked in the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Our room was spacious and very clean and had a nice balcony with views of the sea. Very easy access to the public beach and public transit to the city center. Our only complaint was the lack of restaurants within walking distance, but the bus system ran late enough that we were able to go into the city center every night for dinner.

Best place to stay in Poetto, Cagliari
Beautiful boutique hotel in front of the beach in Poetto. You feel welcome as soon as you enter. Great breakfast, free bikes, sunbrella and beach chairs at your disposal. Far from the noise and traffic of the old town in Cagliari, which you can easily get to by car or public transportation. Would definitely return.

Nice comfortable room, very helpful staff, good location for exploring surrounding area. Hotel does not have own parking facility - most times, it wasn't a problem finding parking on the street. Need to carry your own beach chairs and umbrella from hotel to beach and umbrella was poor quality, would not stay up with the little bit wind we had.

Well situated to access Poetto beach and all local amenities, we were impressed with the front of house staff, the style and layout of the hotel and overall feel to the hotel. Less impressive was the early morning call thanks to the cleaning staff who, coupled with the extremely thin doors (which provide no soundproofing at all) and their seriously noisey activities meant that irrespective that we had go in late the night before, we were awoken at 0730. Apart from the noise pollution we loved our stay and would recommend the Hotel Nautilus to anyone.

Perfect for us !
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! All the staff were friendly and helpful. Great location opposite the beach and restaurants. It was such a bonus that the hotel provided bicycles for the guests to use, we made full use of that perk and were able to cycle safely along the 8km beachfront track to work off all the carbs we consumed ! Would definitely return !

Great hotel
The beach is opposite the hotel and has great staff. Eliza was extremely helpful and gave excellent customer service. She was always more than happy to help and made sure I was happy with everything. The bus stop is minutes away from the hotel and a 10 minute bus ride to the city centre/town. The location was great. There were a few places to eat around the area and a supermarket close by. I would stay here again :)

My only negative comment about the hotel is the noise from other rooms ,the slamming of doors by other guests and the movement of chairs early in the morning over the tiled floor tended to grate as the week went on but maybe l am being perdantic.

Nice basic hotel, across from beach. Great for a 3 star property. Our only issues were that we had a cold shower in the morning and the walls are super thin so you can hear your neighbours conversations and everything thing else they are doing! The beach is quite open and was very windy when we were there so didn't use, drove to other beaches.

Would recommend if you are staying in Cagliari then you will not beat this little hotel. Service was impeccable, free breakfast included which was lovely. Could not be closer to be beach and near a bus stop and can get into the town centre easily. The hotel offers free bikes you can rent and they recommend restaurants and help make bookings! Would return!

Great hotel to visit Poetto Beach
Great stay at Hotel Nautilus. First, the hotel... the hotel was just steps away from Poetto Beach - very convenient for avid beach-goers. The hotel was clean, the staff was lovely, and the breakfast was decent with a number of options included. All the staff were very helpful in making sure our stay was enjoyable. Some staff helped us narrow down the more remote beaches and we could not have been more pleased with their recommendation, and others even helped us sort out a difficult rental car issue. Second, the location... steps to the beach, but not so close to the city centre and restaurants with variety. There are a number of beach kiosks nearby that serve decent lunch options during your beach day. We chose to venture into the city for dinner to explore and expand the selection. The city centre is a bus ride or car ride away - about 10 minutes. A taxi ride to/from the airport is about 27 euros and 20 minutes. Third, the beach... Poetto Beach is not as nice as the other Sardinia beaches - which is ok, just make sure you set your expectations as such. The location is great to visit Cagliari with direct access to a beach, or a quick swim before heading to the airport or to warm you up for more amazing beaches to come as you travel around the island.
