Hotel overview
Set overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea and Cala Gonone Marina, this modest 3-star hotel offers a laid-back atmosphere with practical comfort. Known for its clean, unfussy rooms often featuring balconies, it provides direct views of the sea and easy access to nearby beaches. The property is family-run and operates seasonally, placing guests just a short stroll from Centrale Beach and within reach of notable natural attractions like the Grotta di Ispinigoli caves.
The on-site seafood restaurant is a highlight, serving fresh local fare in a casual setting. Air-conditioned rooms cater to comfort, while amenities such as free Wi-Fi, airport shuttles, and pet-friendly policies add convenience. Though facilities like a pool or fitness center are absent, the hotel’s proximity to Cala Gonone’s harbor and calm beachside setting suits travelers seeking simplicity and charm over luxury.
Reviewers appreciate the genuine service and modernized rooms, despite some noise from hallway doors and occasional power interruptions. Overall, it offers an affordable and welcoming base for exploring Sardinia’s stunning coastline.

“top the POP.... nice and clean rooms with sea view... very good service and nice breakfast”
“Great hotel in a really good area (you are right next to the promenade, but not on it which helps for the noise). The rooms are super clean and service is really great. Only downside is the doors aren’t isolated so you can hear everything going on in the hallway (and the electricity went out multiple times but they were quick to resolve it). Overall recommend !”
“20 Meters in Front of the Marina, everything renovated 2 years ago and Looks fresh. Bathroom new and super Clean, Looks Like you could eat Off the Floor. Our room Had a balkony and Window with View to the sea/harbour although we did not ask for it, so thank you for that . Super Clean, cozy and nice View of the ocean. Owner and stuff are very friendly and Professional. Regarding the Location very good pricing. Breakfast was OK, Not many Options but OK. I have been to 4 Hotels and B&B's in Cala Gonone this year and I would Chose Hotel Pop If I come Here again.”
“I stayed for 4 nights to go cave diving. The hotel exceeded my expectations. Easy check in, parking was available. The room was clean and spacious, it had been modernised. The breakfast was simple but good quality with freshly made coffee from the bar and fresh croissants. The staff were all very friendly. I will definitely stay again next time I am back”
“We got the double room with a sea view and it was great! The only downside I can think about is that the halls are pretty noisy and you can pretty much hear everything. The staff and breakfast were great though”
