Central to La Maddalena town and across the street from the ferries make this a very accessible location. Also very near to a bus stop if you don't have a car and want to get to beaches. We found free parking on the streets pretty easily (one day we had to circle around). The breakfast was good and we liked access to the 2nd floor terrace and rooftop terrace. The "walkable" beaches are tiny and pretty crowded, so you'll want to drive or bus or rent something to get around.
We really liked our stay at the Excelsior, it's centrally located and most importantly, the staff is very very friendly and always there to help you with restaurant and trip recommendations. Will stay here again.

Excellent hotel in a great location. Friendly and helpful staff. Would thoroughly recommend it.
Everything is right about this hotel. Staff is great and friendly, hotel is super clean, location is perfect, breakfast is great.
Excellent hotel and amazing staff
Perfect location right near the ferry. Plenty of parking. The staff were so pleasant and very helpful. The hotel is at the edge of town, with restaurants and shops right there. I would definitely recommend this hotel if staying on the island.
Lovely hotel on sea front in Maddalena town. Friendly staff , lovely breakfast on terrace overlooking working harbour. Room was large, clean and comfortable
Clean rooms, very helpful staff, lovely breakfast on terrace, convenient to harbor activities. Parking a bit difficult to find as there are no dedicated hotel parking spots.
The reception people were outstanding and exceptionally helpful. The breakfast was quite varied and delicious and the hotel was immaculately clean. We enjoyed watching the ferries load and unload while having our breakfast. I will definitely stay here again.
Hotel Excelsior is all about the location. It’s right in the centre of La Maddalena, with an amazing waterfront position where you can sit and watch the ferries come and go. I booked a sea view room, which was definitely worth it and easily the highlight of the stay.
The rooms are on the small side but were clean and comfortable, and the air conditioning was excellent, which made a big difference during the warmer weather. Breakfast was decent without being anything special, but again, the incredible view makes it a much more enjoyable experience.
One thing to be aware of is that the hotel does not have its own parking, despite what you might expect. All parking is on the street, so don’t arrive assuming there’s private parking available.
Overall, it’s a solid choice if you want to be in the heart of town with fantastic views, great air conditioning, and easy access to everything La Maddalena has to offer.
Great hotel right in front of the harbour where the ferries to/from Palau come and go every 20 mins or so.
Staff was kind and helpful and our room was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything we needed. Many bars and restaurants nearby.
Somewhat unlucky that a rare occurrence for Sardinia (intense rain in April) caused the breakfast room to be affected by water leaking from the top and a breakfast experience less pleasant than it could have been. Would suggest the hotel to accelerate remedial works asap so that it doesn't happen again.
First and foremost, a huge thank you to Maria-Louisa, Mirianna, Roberto, and all other staff we connected with for such a pleasant stay! Your hospitality and such positive attitude was everything we needed to make this one of our bests stays. The hotel rooms and common spaces are clean and functional. The breakfast had many options and the hotel location is prime being very close to the ferries, taxi stand, restaurants, and even the bike rental shop. You can’t go wrong for booking here
