When service is bad or nonexistent
Zero responsiveness from the front desk staff. We called and left a message to ask where to park our car and never received a call back. When I asked the staff, the woman became defensive and said that I never called. Another front desk clerk said she will look for a nearby restaurant for dinner and called back after an hour and a half, close to dinner time. Everyone from the staff seemed completely checked out.

Hotel is a classy European hotel. Our room was spacious, nicely appointed, comfy bed and quality linens and pillows. Beautiful view of harbor. Breakfast had a quality assortment of homemade breads, eggs, juices and coffee set in a beautiful space overlooking harbor. Wished we had stayed longer.

Worth finding
Taxi couldn't get very close but it was worth the walk and exploring the citadel part of town to eventually find it.

We had a large room with a beautiful terrasse overlooking the ocean. The king size bed was super comfortable ! The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a nice dinner at the hotel restaurant, again with a superb view overlooking the ocean! Everything we ordered was excellent. The portions are huge. We should have followed our instinct and order an appetizer and just one main plate to share. The only drawback is the difficult access to the main entrance of the hotel. After turning around in circles with the car, we finally came to a dead-end road where we took out the luggage, walked to the hotel and went back parking at the Citadelle main public parking above. We did not find any mention of this difficult access from the hotel check-in instructions or in past reviews, so I thought i’d mention it for other travellers.

The staff were so kind and accommodating to us arriving late. They went out of their way to provide a meal and provide good conversation as well. The views from the rooms with a balcony are beautiful as well and the hotel is close to the lift down to the harbor. Parking is a public lot a short walk away. I highly recommend a stay here.

Beautiful hotel with some logistical challenges
The hotel itself was very nice. Great location, bed was very comfortable, great view. However. Parking is stated as available within roughly 500-600 feet. This may be the case, but there are a number of stairs and the hotel is difficult to reach with baggage. You cannot reach the location directly by car to drop bags off as it is a pedestrian only area. Additionally, we arrived late and there are no open parking garages in the aera after 10 pm! The attendant politely apologized but offered no solutions. We ended up having to make multiple trips with luggage from several blocks away, up multiple sets of stairs. Then we had to park around 1 mile away at the train station. Great hotel, beautiful location, very problematic if you have heavy baggage and or driving - especially if arriving late.

The location and service at this hotel truly make this one of the best hotel stays we’ve had. The staff upgraded us to a junior suite as we were celebrating a delayed mini honeymoon and it was a lovely room. The communication prior to our arrival was excellent and personal with an email asking us for our details and requirements and then following this up with a personal email and phone call. I cannot fault this hotel and I highly recommend it

Very good standard in everything. A great location in a very atmospheric part of town. The downside of the location is the difficulty finding it. Parking at the citadel is easy to access.

Excellent location even if you don’t have a room with a sea view - which is well worth the extra. Good breakfast. Carpeting in bedroom cheap, nasty and badly fitted over a lumpy floor. Nice sized bathroom spoiled by a silly little shower. Hammam out of order. Main public area of bar and lounge closed to residents due to “private function” with no alternative - very poor, especially that this is not disclosed at time of reservation.

Superb! The remodel on this hotel is beautiful, and the location couldn't be better. We had a view of the harbor from our balcony, and right out the front door were fantastic restaurants, with the main esplanade just two blocks away. Excellent modern bathroom, and luxury bed linens, with roomy closet. The front desk could not have been more attentive or helpful, and made the best restaurant recommendation we had in two weeks of traveling: eat at Alba! (We also loved Le Cheval Blanc 1/2 block away for dinner). Treat yourself to this fantastic hotel. Highly recommend.

Fabulous hotel
Great hotel at the edge of Bastia Citadel with superb views of the harbour. We came a little early to leave our cases but we were very kindly given our room which turned out to be a huge penthouse suite. It had fantastic views, a great Aircon, and spacious comfortable lounge area with a very comfortable sofa. In fact all the furniture was exceptionally stylish. It even had an electric Roland piano which was superb. In fact I could only class this appartement in the "Fabulous" league- a title not easily earnt. The reception staff and the night porter were extremely helpful. The citadel is up a bit of a hill. The secret to getting to it is the Avenue Paoli which is a long slow ascent and easy for anyone. Stay up when you get to the end of the road and you will find the citadel without a further climb. The citadel area has quite a few restaurants- probably six and we tried three, all having delicious recipes. The port is a quick walk down some steps and there are many further restaurants there. Trains are reliable but rare to anywhere but Ajaccio and start early because of heat probably. Buses were very few out of season. Access by taxi would leave a 100 yard flat walk with a few single steps as cars cannot get around the citadel. So a great hotel and excellent for a few days stay.

Dear Guest, thank you for your stay. We are situated in a pedestrian zone, indeed the closest public parking is 200 meters away, but also you can enjoy an unforgettable panorama in a quiet location. We hope to see you again!

Just a stopover, wish we'd had longer
The finale of a circuit of Corsica, very good hotel in citadel with excellent vista of harbour. We took precaution of walking there before attempting to drive - its within the pedestrian warren of citadel, no parking, and nearest unloading point 200 yards away. Lovely spacious room, pity we had to hurry away for early ferry and didn't get to sample breakfast & other amenities.
