Hot spring Hotels in Alghero

The Carlis V in Alghero is definitely not a 5 star hotel. I will say that most of the staff were friendly, the rooms are spacious enough and the view is lovely ( but you pay a hefty price for it ). We always stay in 5 star hotels , but the standards here are certainly not worthy of a 5 star. There was no porter to carry a suitcase , the rooms were quite basic in design, the television remote worked only occasionally, there were plastic cups in the bathroom , a strong smell of sewerage in our corridor and the menu was very limited. All fairly small things really that you could overlook once you settle in , considering the small amount of time you actually spend there , while out sight seeing what is a beautiful town. ( Even though for a 6 night stay costing over 3000e , I would expect a higher standard. ) What really disappointed us was an incident which occurred on the final evening. We had a rented car which we parked each evening in the hotel's small 20 space carpark. On our return from an afternoons outing , we turned into the car park to be greeted with tape around all the spaces. The desk manager then came running out and starting shouting at us that we couldn't park there , as it was reserved for the porsche car club who were arriving with their cars shortly. He was extremely rude and told us and other guests that we had to find a parking space on the public road . No parking for us mere mortals who probably had paid a higher premium than a group rate that a club or group might have received. So all other guests who were parked there , were also told to leave. This , really irked us enough to complain, to no avail. In the Irish hospitality business, this would be totally unacceptable. I would comfortably say that this is maybe 4 star , but probably below this rating , but I can definitely say , we would not stay here again. In fact we visited two other 4 star hotels very near here and down on the new town opposite the beach , that looked to be of higher standard. Very disappointing service and one very rude staff member.
