About

The Excelsior is located in the city center of La Maddalena Island, a 2-minute walk from the ferries to/from Palau. There is free public parking in front of the hotel. A varied buffet is served in a breakfast room with views of Santo Stefano Island. In summer, guests can enjoy it on the panoramic outdoor terrace. The hotel provides elegant rooms with classic Italian furniture, plasma-screen TV, and free Wi-Fi. Some rooms offer views of the sea, and some are equipped with spa bath and emotional shower. Bicycles to explore the island can be rented at the Excelsior's 24-hour reception.

    The staff were excellent, very helpful and friendly. Hotel and rooms were clean, quiet and the location was great. Breakfast on the covered patio watching the ferries come and go was a perfect was to start every day. A minutes walk to the cobblestone streets of La Maddalena where there are all kinds of restaurants and shops.

    10ChristinaPosted on: 9-14-2025

    Great hotel in the heart of La Maddalena. Walking distance to everything, good breakfast, and very friendly staff. Thank you for a great stay!

    Everything was great!

    Great location very close to the town centre and ferry terminal. Good sized room overlooking the sea. Very warm welcome on arrival and helpful staff. Good buffet breakfast in the first floor dining room. Good value for money. We would certainly stay here again.

    My husband had stayed at this property 40+ years ago when he was stationed here with the Navy. The hotel was up-to-date but still charming. We had a view of the sea and the included breakfast was delicious

    Bed was a little hard but that is just my preference

    9OliverPosted on: 11-10-2024

    We had a really nice time… the breakfast terrasse with ocean view where fantastic, the coffee was the best I had in Sardinia and the hotel staff was very helpful and friendly:)

    7MarinaPosted on: 10-20-2024

    Location in front of the ferry and in the centre of town, very nice staff, clean. Good proper coffee and espresso drinks available to order at breakfast.

    We were fairly happy overall but have to comment here so improvements may be made, if possible. VERY uncomfortable pillows, no duvet or any kind of cover, only an awful fleece blanket. Not sure if washed every time. It did not feel right to have that sort of bedding in a modern hotel. No bottled or filtered water provided even though a warning is given at check in and posted on the bath mirror that the tap water is not portable - that usually means not brushing teeth with that water. So hotel needs to solve that for guests not the other way around.Couldn’t order cooked eggs at breakfast. Eggs they had were not fresh, maybe the end of season issues. No tea facilities in the room. Only street parking which was free but a bit difficult to find a spot.

    Position, staff at reception, room.

    Breakfast...disappointed, definitely not even close to 4 stars hotel

    8CarolinePosted on: 10-2-2024

    The location in the port was very useful. The room was cleaned very well. The receptionist was super friendly. The room size was better than average. The breakfast buffet was served on a terrace overlooking the port with friendly service.

    The bed felt very springy, like an old mattress. The bed linens looked very old. The pillows were hard.

    7ChristinePosted on: 10-1-2024

    the staff were lovely and perfect location close to ferry. Good coffee served by staff.

    the room was too small and not enough spaces for 2 suitcases. Breakfast was just OK

    10HardwickPosted on: 9-29-2024

    The staff were exceptional and helpful, particularly the reception and drinks staff. They made our stay wonderful, assisting us with whatever we wanted with a smile and lots of laughs. The location was fantastic watching the barges in front of us was fun

    Was all good

    10BarryPosted on: 9-28-2024

    Breakfast was very good with full line offerings. Staff fantastic at breakfast, evening cocktails and front desk. Exceptionally helpful and friendly.

    10ChristopherPosted on: 9-19-2024

    The welcome was so warmStaff smiling and helpful Location in the middle of town yet quietThe room spacious and functional

    No hangars in the bathroom.Trivial really

    6MikePosted on: 9-9-2024

    The location was great.

    - Parking options are horrible. - Breakfast is mostly sweet stuff. Very limited healthy options. Vegetarian is almost not possible, let alone if you are vegan. Then you are doomed. - The ceiling in the bathroom was leaking and if was cleary not the first time. There were spots all over the ceiling from previous leakages. - One lady at the reception was super friendly, the others didn’t even bother to say hello.
