The Miramare sits on Via Roma, the arcaded waterfront boulevard of Cagliari, and it is one of the most convenient bases in the city. The building has a museum-hotel character, with an art gallery, a library and a lobby fireplace, and it is rated four-star. Everything central is on foot: the port is about five minutes away, the Bastione di Saint Remy is around four minutes and the cathedral in Castello about eight. The railway station is about six minutes on foot, and the airport is a quick drive. Rooms are air conditioned, with free WiFi in all of them, and the hotel offers room service around the clock, a bar and a cafe on site.
Location and getting around
The front door opens onto the port boulevard, so you step out to the harbour, the market streets of the Marina district and the stairs up to Castello. Cagliari's sights are compact, and this is one of the few hotels where you can reach most of them on foot, including the Roman amphitheatre and the archaeological museum. Buses to Poetto beach and the airport train are easy to reach from the nearby station area, and the hotel can arrange an airport shuttle on request for a fee.
The rooms and facilities
The rooms are comfortable and well equipped, and the public spaces are the highlight, with art on the walls, a lobby with a fireplace and a library to browse. The property has a lift, air conditioning and a concierge, and in-room massages can be booked. Pets are accepted for a nightly fee, and the hotel is smoke-free. Parking is not on site, though paid off-site parking is available nearby, so travelling by train or taxi is easier.
Who it suits and what to know: it suits first-time visitors, couples and anyone who wants a central base for sightseeing and day trips by public transport. Because the front desk has limited hours, the hotel asks guests to contact it at least a day before arrival to arrange check-in, and an online registration and a copy of identification are required.
Check-in runs in the afternoon until late evening, and check-out is before eleven. A city tax is charged per person per night. Rooms facing Via Roma can pick up street noise, so ask for a quieter room if that matters.
