AI-generated summary based on recent guest reviews
At Hotel Califfo, travelers find friendly staff, ample parking, and a quiet base outside central Cagliari, but many describe dated rooms, uneven Wi-Fi, worn pool areas, and inconsistent upkeep that falls short of a typical four-star expectation.

Friendly and helpful staff. Very reasonable prices for the room,food and drinks. Definitely in need of an update. Food wasn't very good. Good place for a quick stopover.

When we arrived at Hotel Califfo the receptionist was pleasant enough, despite our late arrival. However, that’s about the only good thing about this place. The location is far away from any nicer restaurants, which was poor research on our part. The largest issue was the cleanliness, the room was downright disgusting and I think at best the bed was made and th toiletries replaced. Drywall plaster shavings on the floor, dirt/grim on coverlet, blood oj the pillow case and ants on the floor. Beyond the cleanliness the rooms are dated, beds uncomfortable and they give you two very thin pillows. We booked for three nights and with no where else to go at 10:30pm we stayed one night and left to an Air BNB in the morning. If you are trying to have a nice holiday, do not stay here - its absolutely not worth it.

The hotel met the need, but it's run down (maybe it's old?), cleanliness was totally fine but in our room, we had that second toilet thing we didn't use (thankfully), but when we poured water down it, it didn't work. The shower head base was broken so we had to hold the shower to wash, the shower curtain thing also leaked. Also the AC either wasn't strong enough to keep up with the heat or not working to my standards (the boyfriend thought it was fine... I did not). Rooms also have paper thin walls, we were playing cards and our neighbour came knocking asking us to turn it down -- we were talking normal so we tried to be as quiet as we could after that. Also we figured out quick they run out of food by the 0900 crowd so we made a point to go for breakfast by 0830 or go out for breakfast. All-in... It met our needs of free parking and the mattress wasn't too bad to sleep on.

The surrounding areas are sketchy. I walked 10 minutes to the nearby beach and it was totally trash，dirty and smelly. The room is big，can host 3 people with 1 Queen size bed and 1 twin bed. The breakfast is good with a lot of selections. I enjoyed my stay overall.
