The Nautilus was great in many ways, especially their staff. Room was clean, large and very quiet. We only wish the bed was more comfortable! Will stay again on our next visit.

I have stayed here before. Great room, great location - probably best in Cagliari. Hot tub, bright and clean and modern and great staff. Nothing to dislike. This is how to do a hotel.

We stayed 4 nights. The room was clean, house staff very efficient. Explored Caglieri via bus ( so convenient - just behind the hotel). The beach is just across the road. Borrowed the bike. Breakfast options were ample, staff very attentive and courteous!

We loved our private garden with the hot tub and how easy it was to walk to the beach along the road that’s closed to traffic. The courtesy bikes are nice too! We enjoyed our entire experience there. Great restaurants to walk to also some right on the beach and others along the closed road all with fabulous food. It was a great place to start our Sardinian vacation. We highly recommend Hotel Nautilus.

We were a large family group of 12 and had an excellent time at Hotel Nautilus. The rooms are very good quality, the breakfast delicious and plentiful, the location very good, the price competitive. The staff were very nice and helpful, and everything from a cappuccino to an iron was delivered quickly. We would definitely go back!

Unusual design and very comfortable and quiet rooms.
I only realised the hotel was quite busy, at breakfast, when I saw a lot of other guests.
Breakfast was superb. All staff throughout the hotel were friendly and very helpful. Really recommend asking staff to book nearby restaurants for you for dinner, as they tend to be very busy for last minute walk ins.
Great hot tub in the deluxe rooms with a garden.
Location really good for the beach and nearby restaurants.
