Cons

Semi-removed location makes a car a necessity for exploring
Numerous complaints of noisy ground-level rooms

Bottom Line

The Jazz Hotel is one of the few truly hip and modern upscale hotels in Olbia, though it caters mostly to business travelers considering its proximity to the airport. All types of travelers will likely appreciate the hotel's large rooms, almost all of which come with balconies. Other nice perks include a lovely outdoor swimming pool, a fine-dining restaurant, and freebies like WI-Fi and parking. However, the removed location means guests do not have direct access to the beach and will need a car to explore the surrounding area.

Scene

Upscale hotel with a sleek overall look

The Jazz Hotel's modern and bright lobby –– designed with stylish lacquered white details, chic brown and red furnishings, and a flat-screen TV –– looks out on the coastal Strada Statale 125 road, which connects the coast of Sardinia. A small, retro lobby bar seats three people, and guests can access a small, modern gym, Turkish bath and sun shower at the Jazz Relax zone. Most guests of the hotel, though, are business travelers rather than couples looking to enjoy the spa.

Location

In the northeastern hub on the island of Sardinia

The city of Olbia is rich in history and contains ruins from Phoenician and Carthaginian settlement dating back to the Roman Era and the Middle Ages. The Jazz Hotel is close to the Costa Smeralda tourist area that attracts travelers from a variety of different backgrounds, all seeking a relaxing vacation in a beach atmosphere. Still, almost all exploring requires a car. Pittulongu Beach is a 15-minute car ride away and the Nuraghe Riu Mulin beach is a 21-minute drive. The large, modern Auchan mall, with stores like Zara and UniEuro, is a three-minute car ride from the hotel. The Olbia Cost Smeralda Airport is a 10-minute walk, or two-minute car ride, from the hotel.

The Jazz Hotel is tailored toward business travelers, however. The 70 standard and superior rooms have work desks and free Wi-Fi, and almost all include either a veranda or terrace. There are also two junior suites and three suites that include a large terrace and whirlpool tub. Numerous guests have complained about lower-level rooms being noisy.
