Rina Hotel

Where do I start, I booked a two bedroom apartment for myself and family. When we arrived at the hotel I was told they don’t have any two bedroom apartments! When we got to the room all I can say is that it was filthy. A kitchen that had a sink microwave, hob and fridge no tea or coffee making facilities. The bathroom was disgusting. The shower was full of grime and the first day we got there my family member got into the shower and it broke and fell on them. Every time we have a shower the shower head didn’t fit in the holder so it was would swing around the shower, also every time we had shower it was soak the whole bathroom. The mattress are only fit for the skip they were appalling. Our room wasn’t cleaned any day. The bed linen wasn’t changed at all thought the 7 nights stay. The cleaner barely empty the bins and gave us fresh towels. We had to go to the super market to get our own cleaning products to wash the dishes there wasn’t even a cloth or tea towel! I could continue with the review but I think should be enough to deter people from booking this hotel! It’s supposedly a four star it’s not even a two star! Horrible experience after saving hard to book this holiday!!

We had a lovely two week relaxing stay at this hotel 1-15 September and the location is ideal. There is a supermarket opposite the hotel and a five minute walk takes you to one of the many beaches in Algherro. The old town is a 25 minute walk away or you can take the bus for 1.50 Euros and they run frequently. The rooms are a little dated and the shower cubicle is very small but the rooms are spotlessly clean and the towels are replaced daily. The staff are attentive especially Gino and Emma in the restaurant and the food is very nice with a varied menu and a special mention for Pepe the night porter who was very friendly and we enjoyed many chats with him. Carlos the manager was extremely helpful and is a credit to the hotel and we would definitely recommend this hotel to others. Only downside was the plastic sunbeds which were very uncomfortable.

Cleaning and towels are changed every day. Breakfast is repetitive, but all the basics are available. Dinner, which was quite tasty and varied, has to be ordered from the pre-selected choices at breakfast. There is a decent supermarket right next to the hotel. There is a small fridge in the room, no drinking glasses. Please note that the air conditioning is noisy - however, this did not bother us. There is a EUR 3 charge for beach towels. On the beach, the use of two beach chairs + a parasol costs €25 per day (€15 for half a day). The staff were helpful and friendly.

I’ll start with the good stuff: location is very good as only 5 min walk to multiple of beaches and restaurants, supermarket is across the road; the tastiest gelato shop is also across the road, 30 min walk to the old town or €10 taxi. The staff were great: helpful and friendly We booked one bedroom apartment and the size of the apartment was good, the power in the shower was also good, but the shower size was too small, the shower door didn’t close properly. The kitchen is very basic, was not usable for us, no frying pan, no kettle, no wine glasses. The power sockets are in weird places, so you couldn’t charge your phone next to the bed. Air conditioning is very weak and present only in living room. We stayed 10 nights and no cleaning was done during our stay, towels were changed only once. This is a bit shocking for a 4 star hotel and for the price they charged for the apartment. Alghero is a nice resort, which has plenty to offer, we would definitely return but not to this hotel.

We stayed at Rina Hotel for 2 weeks and had a a fabulous holiday! The staff are what makes the hotel shine! Particularly Carlos the manager who always goes out of his way to ensure your every need is catered for. A special mention to Barbara, Emma, Martina & Maria who were always so courteous & expert at their jobs. The pool area is very well maintained & the lifeguard very professional. We hired bikes for the duration of our stay which the hotel organised which we highly recommend if you don't have a car. The housekeepers are excellent & it was so lovely to come back to our room freshly stocked with fresh towels and crisp clean sheets everyday. We loved our balcony with a seaview. Supermarket across the road and our room had a fridge. Beach & ice cream parlour & restaurants less than 2 minutes away. We highly recommend! Kim & Ciaran

Fantastic stay. Very relaxing, excellent service with very friendly staff. Buffet breakfast was great. Room are old style but spotless clean with towel and bed linen changed daily. Excellent location beaches at the end of the road to the right and the od town to left. Both about 20 minutes walking distance. Excellent restaurants in this area. Definitely will return and stay here. Had a seaview room which had shutters that prevent any street noise.
