We recently spent four nights at Le Roi Theodore and had a very positive experience. Although the hotel is situated on an unattractive road, near a large supermarket on the outskirts of Porto Vecchio, inside the gate, it is very pleasant. This hotel would make a good base for excursions round the island for anyone with a car. It is not well situated, however, for those without their own means of transport, as taxis seem very hard to obtain in the area.

We had a pleasant, ground-floor room with a terrace. The fixtures and fittings were not first class, but the heating worked well and we had no complaints. The weather during our stay was cold and rainy, but the bar cum library had a warm fire in the evenings and we enjoyed an excellent dinner on two occasions. The food was beautifully presented; served in a polite and timely manner and tasted delicious. Dinner is a little on the expensive side, but was well worth it. All hotel staff were at all times above averagely friendly and helpful.

Our only complaint about this hotel was that breakfast was generally poor and on the last day of our stay, when we tried to get something at the official start-time of 0730, nothing had yet been laid out.

Because it was winter, we did not use the pool or spa facilities or the outdoor leisure area, but everything looked very nice. There are some problems with the interior plasterwork, leading to a few holes here and there and some mouldy corners. This is a common problem with this type of building in a damp climate and I don't think it's indicative of neglect. We saw floors being thoroughly washed every day and all areas of the hotel were clean - just a little run-down in places. We would certainly stay there again.

this a 4 star hotel that's a bit tired. Paid extra for a superior room and it was dismal, smelly and not very close to be anywhere near luxurious. We were expecting to much of the 4 stars it boasted expecting it to be plush . its positioning for a traveller might be perfect being on the outskirts. If you don't mind outlooks onto warehouses and a fly tiping laybye 400 yards down the road .Other neighbors are warehouse shops commercial sites and petrol stations. We got moved to a standard room which was better and then went somewhere else next day {Best Western Calvi .Ace]

We liked the hotel itself - interesting deco and slightly oriental interiors; lovely pool with a unique water feature plus a good location away from the town centre.
But for the first time in our lives we felt unwelcome by the hotel staff. To give you a sample: We asked twice for refilling our minibar - without result. Room cleaners left a ball of hair and dust next to our pillows and if we happen to be in the room while they were working, we were clearly in the way... Going for dinner felt like an unpleasant necessity, only thanks to an extremely impolite and unhelpful head of restaurant staff, who decided to treat us in an unprofessional and disrespectful way for the duration of our stay. Big thanks to the rest of the waiters and waitresses in the restaurant - very good service:)

This hotel is located about 5 minutes by car from Porto Vecchio, close to the main beaches, 20 minutes from Bonifacio and an easy drive to most of the hill towns. The hotel gardens do need some tender loving care for a 4 star hotel, especially in the car park. The room was very nice with a garden terrace facing the pool and the air conditioner worked extremely well. Our room was not on the street side of the hotel (road to Bastia) and was very quiet. Also, pool area was very quiet. Breakfast was good, it is included in the price of the room. The owner of the hotel put a damper on our stay, he was not very friendly, in fact rude! However, the staff of the hotel were very courteous, friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Would I recommend this hotel, yes--for the price and easy access to sights. However, don't expect a typical 4 Star Hotel. We found that in Corsica their hotel ratings did not match the quality of the hotel.
