“Great location, free wifi, great view, great aircon, great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 July 2011
4
people found this review helpful

Having been traumatised by the awful hotel Kalliste we stayed our final night in Corsica here. Our room was pleasant, comfortable, bright and it had a view of the sea, the citadel and some donkeys in the moat. The unlocked wifi and aircon were great. It was the only hotel we encountered in Corsica with kettle, tea, coffee etc. Friendly staff on the desk. It is five minutes from the big square, the harbour, the beach, napoleon's house and on the corner of a street full of decent restaurants. What is not to like?

“Location and service great”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2010

people found this review helpful

When we got to the Hotel they did not have our reservation for two nights that we had made in May. The Hotel was booked solid. The lady at the front desk told us not to worry she will make sure we have a room for the night. She arranged for us to have a room for one night, and the next day made it possible for us to stay the extra night. The service was fantastic, very helpfull. The room was nice and clean. The breakfast was good and plenty. Location, location, location!

“very good location near the citadelle”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Situated right opposite the citadelle and near the beach and the old town this was an ideal location. Everything about the hotel (apart from the location) was quite acceptable but quite unexceptional. The bedroom was very ordinary the breakfast too, in a very functional looking room. Often breakfast times were restricted because tour groups were using the room and other guests had to wait. However there is certainly nothing wrong with this hotel and there are a lot worse places!

“Step back in time...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2010

This hotel is well situated and the staff are helpul. But but it is dated and overpriced. We stayed in the attic room and banged our heads many times on the low ceilings so avoid this room if you can.

“Very Very Average - Ajaccio is not that exciting...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2010

Overall: average hotel in a good location, wouldn't go to Ajaccio again though (zzzzz)

Pros:
- location is good for Ajaccio (but there's really not much to see there)
- rooms are just average, small, clean enough and old
- service ppl are friendly enough
- free wifi

Cons:
- parking is difficult, we parked at the nearby underground car park (extremely hot inside) and ended up paying 20 euros for 1 night, it's 5 min walk
- hotel is really not good value for money at all, we ended up paying 110 euros for 1 night plus parking (this is much more expensive than mainland France and doesn't include any food)
