Affordable and family-owned, Hotel Angedras is a quiet spot for rest and relaxation in the seaside town of Alghero.

While there's no on-site restaurant, the hotel offers discounts at two waterfront restaurants. The 31 rooms are large, bright, and spotlessly clean, although balcony views are unspectacular. The location is within walking distance of town and a nearby beach that isn't suitable for swimming. Guests can use the daily free shuttle to a private beach about a mile away.

Scene
Sunny, simple hotel with a casual vibe that attracts young couples and some families
A modest, sunlit lobby filled with live plants overlooks the street from floor-to-ceiling windows. Simple decor includes painted white walls, tile floors, and rattan sofas with beige cushions. At one end of the long, narrow space is a kiosk-size bar and an outdoor terrace dotted with potted plants that faces out to surrounding buildings. Up one level, a breakfast room with a built-in buffet area spills out to another sunny terrace topped with outdoor dining furniture and white market umbrellas. Guests here are usually a range of families and couples who want free breakfast and simple rooms for low rates near the beach.
