Great place to stay to discover Alghero's old town. The hotel staff is very welcoming and helpful with anything you need, from room issues to recommendations for trips and food. It's a lovely building, the rooms are very clean and although rather spartan they have all you need. May be a little noisy if your room looks to the street,... More

A clean pleasant hotel with friendly staff in the middle of the old town. Quite expensive for the facilities offered but in a very quaint setting of an old monastery. Rooms very basic, and breakfast which was also quite basic(pastries,juice and coffee) could have been better.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for a couple of days at the end of August. So if you want a peaceful stay with some added extra’s and a wonderful location, this is the place. We stayed a few different places in Sardinia, but this was both our favourite hotel and town, there are so many positives I... More

The San Francesco is more of a guest house than a hotel: there are no public rooms of a conventional kind, and there are notices in the bedrooms requesting guests to vacate their rooms in the mornings for cleaning. However, the second-floor cloister, overlooking the court, is available to guests, and is a noble and tranquil retreat if you want... More

This year was our 8th stay at the San Francesco. First the negatives, rooms are small and can be a touch noisy from adjoining rooms. The hotel is breakfast only and lacking in somewhere to sit in bad weather. You need to park a car a few hundred metres away in the free Port area. These are minor issues for... More

We spent 3 nights at 'Hotel Francesco' in Alghero. The staff, location and atmosphere of this hotel are wonderful. I don't think you will get better in the medieval centre. The rooms are basic and the beds are hard but when in Alghero you are not sitting in your room! We had a great stay here :0)

Very friendly and helpful hotel staff. I stayed in a single room overlooking the internal courtyard/Cloister. Was a very peaceful stay in a monastic cell-like room, but comfortable with all the basic amenities. Great value and and great location in the Old Town.

We decided to travel across the island from Olbia and stay the night in Alghero. Hotel was recommended in our travel book and being the only hotel within the old city, we decided to book. We had to abandon the car to try and find the hotel but once found it was easy to find again within the narrow streets... More

A lovely bit of history in the walls of the town. Ideal for a one night stay before moving on to explore Sardinia. Concerts during the summer months and a magical quad to sit in under the shade when it rains. The rooms are basic but very clean. It feels like a monastory and there is some quite ascetic art...
