Across reviews of Hotel Excelsior, guests highlight the very central, ferry-front location and consistently warm, helpful staff, while recurring downsides include ferry noise and limited parking; rooms are clean and functional, with some hard beds, and breakfast feedback is mixed.
Many enjoyed sea-view terraces and the harbor-view breakfast setting. Room sizes vary from compact to spacious suites, and a few guests mention dated elements or small bathroom and shower quirks. Overall, expect warm, efficient service and strong convenience, with a few comfort trade-offs.

Bel établissement situé sur le front de mer de la Maddalena. Le petit déjeuner est très bon. Les chambres sont bien isolées phoniquement ce qui est agréable. Même si le ferry accoste devant l'hôtel, cela ne génère pas de nuisance sonore. Le personnel de l'établissement est très gentil. Le parking en face de l'hôtel qui ne lui est pas propre est très souvent complet hors saison, il faut attendre après 18h pour avoir plus de place.

Adorei! Hotel super bem localizado e fazíamos tudo a pé. Funcionários gentis e educados, todos! Valeu muito ter ficado nesse hotel. Recomendo! A única coisa que não tem é estacionamento. Dizia que tinha, mas não tem. Na frente do hotel, onde tem as linhas brancas no chão, que é free, que estacionávamos o carro. Os próprios funcionários do hotel, indicam lá pra estacionar. Encontrei vaga fácil.

Fausse information sur le site concernant le parking: l'hôtel n'en propose pas! Il a fallu se garer dans la rue. L'hôtel est situé au niveau de l'embardère. La chambre était propre et spacieuse. Accueil agréable avec l'effort de parler français. Robinetterie pas pratique dans la salle de bain.

At first we were a little worried given the hotel is located right across the very busy port. However, it turned out to be the best location. Right behind the hotel is the cutest street with all shops and restaurants. The hotel was very clean, 5 star service from the reception and cleaning staff. All were very friendly and helpful. Two terrasses are available all day for the guests. You can bring your own food and have dinner, or bring your own aperitivo and enjoy the most beautiful views! Breakfast was included. We highly recommend this hotel!

Excellent séjour ! Accueil sympathique et professionnel, petit-déjeuners variés, grande chambre et belle salle de bain (suite junior). Le seul bémol est l'absence de places de stationnement... il faut parfois beaucoup tourner avant de se garer. Mais l'hôtel est très largement à recommander (idéalement situé en plein cœur de cette petite ville).

Hotel was a 5 minute walk from the ferry. We had a sea view so could watch the ferries come and go. It was well soundproofed and very quiet. Room was clean. Beds and pillows rather hard. The staff were lovely and very helpful. They gave us advice on boat tours around the islands (amazing) local buses to the beaches (€1 at tabac store or €1.50 on the bus) The front desk rented beach towels for €4/day. Breakfast was a buffet style with plenty of choices, and staff were happy to make us cappuccinos. The rooftop patio had lots of potential, with great views, but was rather neglected with a few sunbeds and armchairs but no real shade. The hotel was within walking distance of the beautiful harbour, restaurants and shops. Highly recommended.

Your hospitality and such positive attitude was everything we needed to make this one of our bests stays. The hotel rooms and common spaces are clean and functional. The breakfast had many options and the hotel location is prime being very close to the ferries, taxi stand, restaurants, and even the bike rental shop. You can’t go wrong for booking here

Personal muy amable, tanto recepcion como en restaurante. Desayuno buffet correcto. Buena situación, justo delante del ferry, pero aunque dicen que la habitación está insonorizada, de noche los barcos molestan, se notan bastante: recomendaria habitación que no diera al puerto. Limpieza: rastos de polvo en el cabecero de la cama, baño muy limpio pero había habido una fuga de agua en el techo y estaban las manchas de humedad, y la mampara de la ducha no cerraba bien y el agua se salía.

Die Lage ist superzentral, direkt am Hafen – praktisch, wenn man mit der Fähre ankommt, aber ehrlich gesagt auch ein Nachteil: Tag und Nacht hört man die Motoren und riecht den Diesel. Wir hatten eine Suite mit Meerblick, aber wirklich entspannen konnte man wegen des Lärms nicht. Der Whirlpool ist alt, und beim Duschen steht das halbe Bad unter Wasser. Positiv war das Personal – sehr freundlich, und das Zimmer war immer blitzsauber. Das Frühstück dagegen war eine echte Enttäuschung: billige Plastikverpackungen, kaum Auswahl und lauter Raum. Das Bett war leider durchgelegen, erst nach einer Beschwerde bekamen wir eine Auflage – danach ging’s einigermaßen. Für eine Nacht okay, aber wer Ruhe, Komfort und sardisches Flair sucht, sollte lieber etwas anderes buchen.

Super emplacement juste en face de l’embarcadère et en centre ville. Chambre propre et moderne. Belle salle de bain mais le système de la douche n’est pas pratique pour les femmes qui sont sûre de se mouiller les cheveux à chaque fois. Le personnel à l’accueil a été très serviable et disponible. De bons conseils pour choisir un restaurant. Par contre le bât blesse sur le buffet du pdj (pas qualitativement à la hauteur) et surtout sur l équipe qui se désintéresse totalement du client et préfère parler entre eux sans se soucier du client.

Das Hotel ist zum Teil in die Jahre gekommen. Es liegt sehr zentral direkt am Fähranleger und in der Nähe des Stadtzentrums. Daher ist es natürlich auch rund um die Uhr laut.Leider ist es auch hellhörig bezüglich der anderen Hotelgäste. Die Lage ermöglicht viel zu Fuss zu erkunden. Das Frühstück ist sehr einfach und die Marmeladen und der Honig in Plastikdöschen sind wirklich nicht unser Fall. Das Personal war freundlich, nur das Personal im Speiseraum eher unmotiviert.

Super locatie. Ad haven, bij de ferry, achter de straat met de winkels en restaurants. Wij hadden een zeer ruime drie persoonskamer, mooie badkamer. Prachtige ontbijtruimte, uitzicht op de baai. Meer dan genoeg keuze bij het ontbijt. Alles werd gepakt voor je ivm covid. En bovenal heel aardig personeel, bij ontbijt, schoonmaakster en vooral MariaLuisa van de receptie. Ontzettend attent, gastvrij, gezellig, goede uitleg. Top dame

We really liked our stay at the Excelsior, it's centrally located and most importantly, the staff is very very friendly and always there to help you with restaurant and trip recommendations. Will stay here again.

Location
Ultra-central opposite the ferry, close to restaurants, shops, and tours, making arrivals and departures easy. The convenient setting brings recurring ferry noise.

Tutto benissimo dal check-in al check out. Un po’ di rumore dei traghetti ma prendendo hotel in quella posizione non si può certo lamentarsene ! Grazie della splendida esperienza

Hotel is right in the middle of the busiest part of town, but even though we were in a front-facing, first level room we could not hear a thing through the thick walls and sound-proofed windows. The staff was super friendly, and the hotel itself while a little dated was just a charming place to stay. Recommended!!!

Hotel in posizione strategica, in pieno centro circondato da negozi e ristoranti di ogni genere, a pochi metri noleggio, bici, scooter, auto, barche, gommoni....puoi venire anche senza auto, bancomat Bellissima terrazza fronte mare, climatizzazione molto efficiente. Chiedete qualsiasi cosa alla reception e vi suggeriranno al meglio.

Perfect location right near the ferry. Plenty of parking. The staff were so pleasant and very helpful. The hotel is at the edge of town, with restaurants and shops right there. I would definitely recommend this hotel if staying on the island.

Die Lage ist superzentral, direkt am Hafen – praktisch, wenn man mit der Fähre ankommt, aber ehrlich gesagt auch ein Nachteil: Tag und Nacht hört man die Motoren und riecht den Diesel. Wir hatten eine Suite mit Meerblick, aber wirklich entspannen konnte man wegen des Lärms nicht. Der Whirlpool ist alt, und beim Duschen steht das halbe Bad unter Wasser. Positiv war das Personal – sehr freundlich, und das Zimmer war immer blitzsauber. Das Frühstück dagegen war eine echte Enttäuschung: billige Plastikverpackungen, kaum Auswahl und lauter Raum. Das Bett war leider durchgelegen, erst nach einer Beschwerde bekamen wir eine Auflage – danach ging’s einigermaßen. Für eine Nacht okay, aber wer Ruhe, Komfort und sardisches Flair sucht, sollte lieber etwas anderes buchen.

Dejligt sted centralt med utrolig god og sød service. Eneste minus var morgenmaden, der var på et meget lavt niveau. Dårlig morgenmad, og den smule der var blev ikke efterfyldt, til trods for at de var godt bemandet.

Super emplacement juste en face de l’embarcadère et en centre ville. Chambre propre et moderne. Belle salle de bain mais le système de la douche n’est pas pratique pour les femmes qui sont sûre de se mouiller les cheveux à chaque fois. Le personnel à l’accueil a été très serviable et disponible. De bons conseils pour choisir un restaurant. Par contre le bât blesse sur le buffet du pdj (pas qualitativement à la hauteur) et surtout sur l équipe qui se désintéresse totalement du client et préfère parler entre eux sans se soucier du client.

Accueil et gentillesse de l'équipe de réception, vraiment au top, en plus en français, merci pour vos conseils et adresses de restaurant- j'ai rarement eu un accueil aussi chaleureux... On a pu avoir la chambre plus tôt - merci encore Le petit-déjeuner était bon et varié sur la terrasse face au port. Chambre pas très grande mais très confortable, Literie excellente- l'équipement est complet- Belle décoration Emplacement de l'hôtel est idéal pour se déplacer dans le centre proche du port et des ruelles animées. Seul bémol de notre séjour: Chambre avec vue sur le débarcadère- un peu bruyant Une bouilloire et du thé /café serait un vrai plus

Excellent séjour ! Accueil sympathique et professionnel, petit-déjeuners variés, grande chambre et belle salle de bain (suite junior). Le seul bémol est l'absence de places de stationnement... il faut parfois beaucoup tourner avant de se garer. Mais l'hôtel est très largement à recommander (idéalement situé en plein cœur de cette petite ville).
