Hotel Regina Margherita

A city hotel between the port and Castello

The Hotel Regina Margherita is on Viale Regina Margherita, the avenue that runs down from the Castello quarter to Cagliari's port. It is a large, modern four-star hotel with 100 rooms, designed for business travellers and tourists alike. Its great advantage is the location: you can walk out to the Saint Remy steps, the Marina quarter, the shopping streets of the centre and the quay, and the railway station, where the airport train arrives, is a short stroll away.

The rooms

There are several categories: the simpler Smart rooms, single, double or twin; the Superior rooms; the Family Rooms for families; and two types of suite, the Suite and the Suite Presidenziale. Two rooms are Easy Access, adapted for guests with disabilities. Wifi is free and unlimited throughout the hotel. The website does not publish check-in and check-out times or prices: you see them when you book.

Bistro, spa and gym

On the ground floor is the Bistrot Regina Margherita, which is open at lunchtime from 12:00 to 14:00 and in the evening from 19:30 to 22:00, and sends food up to your room if you ask. There is also a lounge bar. For unwinding after a hot day, the hotel has the Therms SPA and a gym open 24 hours. They also offer an ironing room and a laundry service.

If you are driving

Parking in the centre of Cagliari is not easy. The hotel has a small garage that can hold your car subject to availability: ask for a space when you book. There is also a charging point for electric cars. If you are going to use the car only to go out to Nora, Chia or Villasimius, the hotel puts you a few minutes from the road to the coast.

Who it is for

For sleeping two or three nights in Cagliari and getting around the city on foot, and for a first or last night near the station and the port. With children, the Family Rooms are the option.
