The Holiday Inn Cagliari hotel is located close to the airport, on the outskirts of Cagliairi, therefore if you are planning to go be aware that the best way to get into the city centre is via a taxi (prices varied from 10-15 euro). The hotel is located just off a central road, but is quite nonetheless.
Check-in
Check-in was fast and efficient, I booked two standard King rooms and everything was correct. The staff at the desk were always polite and helpful and they could all understand and communicate in English.
The Rooms
I had two king rooms, I requested interconnecting rooms and the hotel honoured this request. The rooms are modern and look as though they have recently been done up. I had a view of the road outside, although the room was sound-proofed so it didn't bother me. The en suite didn't have a bath, just a shower but that was quite all right for my needs. The Air conditioning was good and much appreciated considering the hot summers experienced in Sardinia! The beds were comfortable and the Holiday Inn Pillow Menu is a nice idea.
Food
I had breakfast included in my rate, the breakfast was amazing, so much to choose from! Croissants, cakes, cereals, cooked breakfast, tea, coffee, orange etc. One of my group members suffers from a wheat intolerance problem but was happy that the hotel provided rye bread - too many hotel breakfasts dont seem to adequately cater for specific diets! I did have lunch at the hotel when I first arrived, I had a nice fresh salad which came with plenty of bread etc - it was tasty although you can getter better value food in Cagliari itself.
Other facilities
The hotel had an outdoor swimming pool, I didn't make use of it myself although it looked nice and many people were making use of it, I believe that the hotel also had a sauna.
overall
I liked this hotel and would certainly recommend it, the prices are reasonable and if you are prepared to use a taxi to get into the main town it's great, although obviously this adds up price wise. The hotel is certainly located well for the airport though which was good on the morning I left.
How helpful would this review be to a person making a buying decision? Rating guidelines
It would be helpful to have pointed out that Cagliari is on the Island of Sardinia, rather than the mainland of Italy. Also, what are the sights near to the hotel? Happy travelling!
