We booked three rooms last Saturday night and looked forward to experiencing the so-called design hotel. What a joke. While the view is indeed rather impressive the rooms leave a lot to be desired especially for €180 a night. Frankly it's a rip-off. We spent between €150 and €180 per night during our stay in Corsica and this hotel came... More

I was in Calvi with some friends and they all wanted to stay in town. We booked the Balanea. My room was dirty, the floor looked like it had not been vacummed for ages, there was an old apple under my bed and a lot of hair on the floor. The room smelt. I complained and they moved me to... More

After a day of biking I arrived in a very cosy room, well decorated. The hotel is near a pedestrian street full of shops. You are within walking distance of the marina. More

We had spacious and colourfull twin room (one double and one single bed) on the street side. If you pay extra you can get the seeview. Big bonus was that there was parquet floor not wall to wall carpet. Hotel is near everything: port, station, shops, restaurants. More

We booked the Balanea for a 30th wedding anniversary holiday to Calvi and had understood the rooms had been renovated over the past year or so. The hotel itself is situated well in the centre of town with fabulous views over the port, mountains etc. - in September the surrounding area was quiet but I would imagine in August it... More

critics in the guide were ok on this 3*...but we hated it from the moment we arrived. The hotel is in a pedestrian area so we couldn't access the hotel with the car to unload our 50kg luggage. My wife being pregnant the hotel staff didn't offer their help, so i had to park the car 10min walking distance and... More
