“Huge room with an amazing view, close to everything”

We stayed in one of the four hotel rooms in the main building of the hotel. This room is HUGE and modern with a separate living and kitchen area and a large bedroom with an amazing king bed. We have never seen such a big hotel room in all of Europe!!! The room is modern and fully updated. The kitchen has a sink, a very big refrigerator, and a microwave. The bathroom (actually there are two bathrooms with two toilets and two sinks) was clean and modern and the shower was amazing, although it took a while to get hot water. Once the hot water was flowing, it was perfect with tons of flow. And the bathtub, it is so big we never used it because we figured it would take forever to fill up. The bedroom could be cordoned off from the living area via a large curtain that would slide across the room, but we never used it. The bed was very comfortable with an assortment of pillows to choose from. The view from the bedroom was amazing, right on the marina with views of the town across the way and the old town way to the left. We never ate breakfast here, a bit expensive. We just went to the market across the marina and got fresh croissants, Corsican honey and yoghurt, juices, and fruit to start our day, given it had a great kitchen. The rooftop bar is not really a rooftop bar, more like a terrace, but it was nice with decent food and expensive drinks. One night they had live music and we could hear it from our room. The staff were all very friendly. Sammy was especially nice and helped us with food recommendations in town and things to do during the day. The only real drawback with this place, and I am sure most places in town, is that the nightclub across the way called B52’s, plays very loud music every night and they really crank up the music late at night. I had to wear my earplugs to avoid hearing the loud music. Everything else was perfect.

“Massive modern rooms with a great location an view, but service and maintenance need attention”

Bit of an odd hotel to be honest. Rooms are modern and massive, with a great view of the harbour. Despite the rooms being newly reneovated (I think) they were already in need of some maintenance. The hotel's location is perfect. Service was however a bit patchy, with reception at times not foll… more

Bit of an odd hotel to be honest. Rooms are modern and massive, with a great view of the harbour. Despite the rooms being newly reneovated (I think) they were already in need of some maintenance. The hotel's location is perfect. Service was however a bit patchy, with reception at times not following through on request (like booking a taxi for a specific time). Breakfast was limited but okay.

“Overpriced”

Hotel room was massive and well equipped with a very impressive view of the harbour. However some things needed some maintenance, such as broken shower tiles.

Hotel room was massive and well equipped with a very impressive view of the harbour. However some things needed some maintenance, such as broken shower tiles. You get 3 coat hangers in a large wardrobe. For the hefty price, we expected it to be perfect. You have to be very fit to climb two sets of stairs up to the second floor as there is no lift. Breakfast was very expensive and the friendly member of staff hadn’t actually ever prepared some of the things we asked for. However, what a beautiful view across the harbour for having a lazy breakfast. One of the receptionists didn’t speak much English so communicated with her was difficult. The rooftop restaurant wasn’t open when we went in May, which was disappointing. Although dog friendly, there isn’t any grass for the dog to do its business so you have to cross a busy road for the nearest patch. At weekends, the music from the bar on the opposite side of the harbour was extremely loud and bassy and went on until the early hours of the morning. So if you’re a light sleeper, be prepared with your earplugs! Not the fault of the hotel but something to be aware of. Overall, it was a pleasant enough stay but I felt that the room was overpriced.
