Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Grand Hotel President from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Grand Hotel President enjoys a superb location near Olbia's main street, making it easy to access restaurants and shops. Many guests appreciate the spacious rooms, some featuring balconies with views, possibly overlooking the port or even the F1 H20 powerboat race pit. The breakfast is generally considered fantastic with a large choice of foods, although some guests have noted that the coffee wasn't brilliant. While the building has a luxurious, almost vintage feel, a few guests have mentioned that the air vents could use some cleaning.
