We loved it here! The beach was a huge highlight and the staff was so friendly. Room was clean and everything was perfect.
Staff was amazing! Arranged transport for us and helped us with everything we needed at the hotel like restaurant recommendations and just general questions about Sardinia. When we ordered drinks and food, they arrived promptly either to our room or the beach! Big beach and great views will visit again

The staff were absolutely brilliant. Every member of staff was professional and friendly. They even helped me learn some Italian.
The bar/dining area wasn't very welcoming. Quite sterile which was probably the reason why it was always empty during the evening.
The outside area had overgrown plants hanging over the path. Rendering had fallen off the walls. There was dog mess right outside the beach side gate that wasn't cleaned up for two days.
The large unused swimming pool is an eyesore.
The staff was kind and helpful, the housekeeping crew was excellent. Rooms are not silent (doors slam) and the breakfast wasn’t great. Airport shuttle was helpful and on time. Overall decent stay for the money.
Es un lugar maravilloso. La atención del personal eficiente y muy cálida. Las habitaciones y los baños lindos, todo luce muy nuevo y súper limpio. Y especialmente la disposición y ayuda que brindan en cualquier momento Silvana y Gina!
Horrible. The hotel was not as I expected it to be. Pictures certainly do not match reality. There was dust around vents. No phone to communicate with the front desk in case of an emergency. The shower faucet kept falling on our heads. Water pressure was weak. The hair dryer was not universal. There’s no laundry service unlike described. The beach chairs and umbrellas are also a surcharge BUT not described in the booking. The only great thing about this hotel is the cleaning personnel. On top of that they asked you to paid at front for the whole stay and we needed up leaving the hotel three days before the original date.
This was my second stay at Hotel Castello. I originally chose this location because of its proximity to the beach and shallow bay. I returned for the friendly staff, who remembered me even after 3 years had passed! This hotel provides all of the basics for a pleasant stay. The staff helped me organize a trip to Tavolara island with a local boat captain. It was an experience to remember. A special thanks to owner Gina, who will help you with any of your needs!
Grazie ancora Gina per un soggiorno molto piacevole... spero tanto di tornare l'anno prossimo. Il tuo sorriso mi fa sentire come se io tornassi a casa mia quando arrivo a Golfo Aranci! Cari saluti, Annabella
Easy beach access. Good parking. Helpful friendly staff. All the room lacked was a kettle for that evening drink. Access to the shower was a bit narrow but a good shower in itself.
Staff was very friendly and breakfast always plentyful, but limited in choice of fresh fruit. Rooms and Hotel itself was clean, but air-conditioning not really efficient enough. We were surprised about the rule of having to use a swim cap in the pool and that there weren‘t any sun lounger around the pool. You can only use the hotels private beach if you hire a sun lounger. If you don‘t want to do that, you will have to fight for a space on the public part of the beach.
Nice and cosy place very close to the lovely
beach (great for young children) Staff was very helpful and friendly. Room was very clean. I would like recommend to stay here.
Fantastic little hotel right on the beach. We went in the first week of June and the town was quiet and peaceful. If you can afford it, it's definitely worth the extra cost to get a room with a sea view.
Staff are so friendly and helpful from the cleaning staff to the manageress. Room was spotless. Breakfast buffet was delicious. Designated area of the beach was clean and had ample sun beds and umbrellas.
Our only gripe was the rather weak air conditioning unit. Little more than a fan really and we couldn't sleep with the windows open due to mosquitoes. Otherwise, a perfect hotel.
We stayed as a couple for 9 days in Hotel Castello and the service was amazing thanks to Mrs Gina. We have booked a room with a sea view and I can say that it was well worth it. The view is splendid. The rooms are of a decent size but the shower is a bit tight. The Wi-Fi worked very well in the hotel and on the beach.
For the beach we had reserved the chairs and parasol (20E/per day) ahead of time as well as the towels (3E/towel). The beach is not too large but the sand is white and the water crystal clear and not very deep for a long distance.
Mrs Gina gave us good recommandations for restaurants and tours. Mrs Gina is a very pleasant person and takes care of her clients with always a smile.

Good service, friendly staff and good location.
Good service and friendly staff. Location is 2 steps from the beach and sea facing room had great view over the bay. For the price a bargain.
Sea view rooms are beautiful and make your holiday
This hotel was lovely. On arrival, the receptionist offered me a cheap upgrade to a sea view room which was stunning and made the balcony lovely. The plugs in Sardinia were also different and they were able to offer me adapters. Breakfast was delicious with lots of choice, the free wifi is great and works on the beach too and the local area has a lot of good food and drink plus excursions which is brilliant. I really enjoyed my time here and would go back without hesitation.
