Good quality hotel staff very helpful

Wonderful place to stay for a few days exploring the area. We had an outstanding room and amenities with a great view. The staff were all amazing.
8.0 / 10.0
Rooms were clean and spacious, not beachfront, easy parking, slightly overpriced. Location is ideal for walking around and getting to the ferry

This hotel is in a perfect position. It also offers car parking but you park out front for free in the car park. Our luggage was lost and the staff went above and beyond to help us with retrieving our luggage. They have a bar next door with snacks but surrounded by restaurants and shops on Main Street

It was so perfect for us after a boat trip and a wonderful evening!

Check-in staff Marco was very nice and friendly. He showed us the room and explained everything. The room was clean and tidy. Their continental breakfast was good. Good location, the hotel is surrounded by many restaurants. For the ferry to La Maddelena, the port is only few mins walk away. There is a night market right outside the hotel every night. Will come back for sure if we need to stay in Palau again!
3.0 / 10.0
This hotel is perfectly located near the port and a huge parking lot in front. I suggest you park in the lot (blue spots) as it is cheaper than the hotel (and the hotel doesn’t have space anyway). The hotel itself is a little outdated but comfortable. Rooms are large and AC works perfectly. I would certainly NOT consider this a 4 star hotel! Your room (unless you book a suite) does jot even come with a complementary water, not cups not a coffee machine.
Breakfast was on but also very limited (warm there is bacon and scrambled eggs - that’s it for protein). You will find a little bit of fruit (melon annd apples cut up) annd veggies (tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots) and the rest is carbs.
In front of the hotel is a nightly market which is super cute. All restaurants and bars are an easy walk.
The personell working at the hotel are all very friendly and professional, absolutely nothing but compliments to them all. Thank you 🙏

8.0 / 10.0
The room, front desk staff and hotel are very good . But the breakfast can be significantly improved . The coffee was terrible . They have a beautiful coffee machine behind the bar which remains unused while they make guests use an automatic machine from which the coffee comes out tasting terrible . That is unacceptable in Italy . I went outside to get some sun with my coffee and the breakfast staff scolded me when I came back in to return the cup stating that we are not allowed to “remove items “- as though I was going to steal a cheap coffee mug . Ridiculous . The food quality at breakfast was poor . They need to change this . Otherwise , was a nice stay with friendly staff .
4.0 / 10.0
Great hotel for visiting La Maddelena, convenient for the shops and restaurants, its not the most modern of hotels, but the location makes up for it.
There is no pool or beach front, nor is there anyway to sunbathe, its a hotel to explore from, just by the port.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Secure parking.
3.0 / 10.0
This is one of the nicest places in Palau and in a great location. Staff was friendly and the room clean and well maintained. Location offers easy parking and access to the town and port.
That being said, the rooms are generally poorly appointed and I would not consider this a 4-star hotel. The amenities are not up to par.
There was only a sheet on the bed and we had to dig out a comforter and additional pillows from a bag in the closet to bolster the thin ones on the bed.
However, most disappointing was the absence of any type of kettle and tea/coffee station in the room. When I inquired I was told the « standard » rooms don’t come equipped with this though all other rooms do. While the description of the standard room does not include a coffee corner, lots of the general photos show this in the rooms and only a very astute reader would notice this possible discrepancy between room classes. It is also very odd for a hotel to limit this type of amenity in the room.
In addition, the internet was slow and weak. While working in the room, the signal dropped multiple times. It may be ok for casual internet browsing but not much else.
In short, while this may be one of the best options in town, I’m not sure it’s the best value.

The room was beautiful with a great view of the marina. The jacuzzi tub was perfect after a long day of exploring the gorgeous coastlines and beaches. The location of the hotel made it very convenient to walk around to different shops and restaurants in the town. The staff were all very pleasant and friendly. We'd come back here in a heartbeat.

Make sure you have a room with a balcony.

Had a wonderful stay at the La vecchia Fonte. Roberto on front desk was very helpful
Hotel is in a great location
The only down side is the breakfast. It was very light with extremely poor choices. There was no fresh fruit but there was plenty of flies around.
10.0 / 10.0
We loved our stay here. Beautiful property, elegant, tasteful, nice staff. Generous, lovely rooms, crisp gorgeous sheets and the most comfortable bed and pillows. Bathroom nicely done with soft towels. Lots of hot water, fairly roomy shower. French doors open to the garden and the nice little town. Church bells ringing. Very generous buffet breakfast with courteous, smiling staff. Great late lunch in the town. Took the La Maddalena Archipelago all day boat trip, a 3 minute walk from the hotel. Parking was easy, as well.
8.0 / 10.0
Parking was not the best. I had to run out and feed the meter. The market was noisy as were the neighbours. Hotel staff were excellent, especially Marco. Breakfast was basic and the room it was served in was not the best, but the breakfast staff were very nice. The shared balcony was not great for privacy reasons. The advertised water view was quite an exaggeration.
8.0 / 10.0
The hotel was clean and staff very accommodating. One premium room the AC was only a fan, so room was too hot. The breakfast was nice. The marina area lively with lots of restaurant choices.
4.0 / 10.0
Great Hotel, terrible AC.
5.0 / 10.0
Hotel is central location to the port and town. Nice breakfast and spacious modern rooms and baths.
AC was a problem. In the room it would take several hours to get comfortable (22-23) however AC was on a timer and would turn off after 90 minutes, so if you left the room or were sleeping would wake up in hot sweat. Breakfast room AC did not work either.

The Location of the property is perfect for catching the Ferry early the next morning to go to the Maddalena islands . The hotel location is ideal for shopping and for the nightlife. Every night an outdoor market sets up in front of the hotel from 8 pm until 1 am . Its nice as you can walk around in front of your own hotel and its nice and lively at night. There is a huge parking lot to park your car in front of the hotel . The white lines parking is free and the blue lines you pay for parking . At night from 8 pm to 8 am the blue lines parking is free for overnight.
Hotel staff is very helpful and polite and lent me an adapter for my blowdryer . Staff was helpful in suggestions for dinner etc. and were super friendly and very nice. Definitely recommend staying here . Location is perfect .

We stayed here for 2 nights while on our honeymoon. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The room was very spacious and comfortable. The hotel is located right in the port with lots of restaurants, bars, and shopping within walking distance. Good value for money for the area.
5.0 / 10.0
Well located hotel in Palau. Staff are extremely helpful with excursions and restaurant recommendations. Parking garage is very convenient as well.
8.0 / 10.0
Room was nothing special, and Tv was a little small. Needs better beds instead of two twins pushed together. Overall, it gets the job done if you are staying in town to go see Maddalena, it is right next to the harbor about 2 minute walk.
10.0 / 10.0
Good location
10.0 / 10.0
The hotel is located right in front of the marina, surrounded by restaurants and shops. Everything is walking distance. The hotel staff is so kind and helpful. The rooms are clean and spacious. The boat excursions are right in front, and you can literally walk right up and book one. The ferry to La Maddalena is also right in front. I highly recommend this hotel.

Lovely hotel with wonderful staff and front desk excellence .
4.0 / 10.0
Poor air conditioning. Old and worn linen. No amenities for 180 Euro per night, not even complimentary water or Kleenex. Location is good and breakfast underwhelming. Overpriced. Next time we will stay all nights at the Excelsior in la maddalena.

The only negative point was the cold shower

The staff was exceptionally helpful, specifically Antonella and Federica. Great location and access to La Maddalena.
8.0 / 10.0
Great location and friendly staff. Parking off site was close and inexpensive. Breakfast options not geared towards vegetarians or vegans. Need more options. Like maybe margarine or peanut butter and maybe some potatoes. Rooms were lacking tissues, shower water temperature was not consistent. Matress was extremely hard. No makeup mirror.
5.0 / 10.0
The service was wonderful! The Decour and the place is dated but the room with a hot tub and outdoor space was just what I needed!
5.0 / 10.0
I loved this hotel. Rooms were clean and spacious. And the hotel is located right in the port area. There is a market at night right outside. It was great!
2.0 / 10.0
Twin bed room is reserved, however, when we arrived at 10pm, there is a double bed. And there is no house keeping so we have to make the bed ourselves. The hotel is old fashion design but the shower corner is newly built. However they built a very shallow basin with curtains not even make glass sliding doors so water is hardly control to flood everywhere. Besides, as a four star hotel, there is no kettle available in the room is quite unbelievable.
2.0 / 10.0
Misleading photos suggesting breakfast is at outdoor roof. Reality was in a room with little light and weak air conditioning, gets warm when a few tables arrive to fill the room. Breakfast selection is limited but staff was helpful and tried get hold of the few 'Engligh Breakfast' tea bags left. The room was spacious, floor needs cleaning. Bed cover and sofer cover were dirty / stained, not of 4* standard. Beddings and towels were clean and fresh looking up to expectation. Good central location, there is a nightly market outside the hotel where the public carpark is. Public parking ends at 8pm when market vendors start arriving. Trading activities go on till around midnight. It could be noisy if you have a room facing the carpark/marina. There is no kettle in the room. Mini bar (and entire room) offers 1 plastic cup.

Very clean. Good location for visiting islands. Staff helpful.
2.5 / 10.0
We stayed in the presidential suite and were welcomed with a bottle of prosecco and some local cookies. The room was great and the jacuzzi was a very nice touch, even if not as big as from the pictures.
Breakfast was an average self service, with both sweet and savoury dishes and a coffee machine. Perhaps one would expect more from a 4* hotel.
It is conveniently located by the town harbour and centre, both reachable within 5min walk.
The staff was always smiling and super efficient.
Definitely a recommendable place to stay.
