I stayed at the Camelia for 3 days and 2 nights last month. It's a slight hike up a hill from Anse Mitan, so be prepared. When I arrived to check-in, the manager-on-duty was slightly rude and condescending, especially when I asked if he spoke English. He also seemed unhappy that I hadn't brought a copy of my online receipt.
My room was on the top floor and had a balcony with gorgeous views of Fort-de-France and the bay. There was air conditioning and a tv that had 3 local channels. The room was sparsely decorated, and the mattress sank in the middle. Our bathroom light didn't work, but after I notified the front desk, it was replaced quickly.
The Hotel Camelia is definitely a budget hotel, but the low cost and views made it worthwhile. I'd suggest staying here if you don't mind visiting other hotels and properties for their beaches and views. Also, it rains often in Martinique, so bring an umbrella!
