Hotel berhampiran Imperial Chapel, Ajaccio

First of all and without much ado: I really have to issue a warning here. This hotel is an absolute disgrace. Nothing that is promised on the website is even close to being true. I booked this hotel for one night and - frankly - was surprised that the price had been reduced from supposedly over 100€ to under 70€ - but I put this down to the off-season. The check in. Coming from the airport, I wanted to check in 1 hour earlier than planned (to which, according to ******* as a gold member, I’m entitled to and this was advertised by the hotel, as well). The receptionist turned this down so I had to contact her manager. After a while, she came out of her office, deranged and obviously drunk, and slurred something about ”impossible behavior”. She was probably uncomfortable with her condition, as she could barely speak a sentence, because she gave me the key to my room and pointed out that the much-praised rooftop was closed due to a drainage problem and that I could ‚enjoy the beautiful sides of the city outside‘. The rooftop was one of the main reasons for me to choose this hotel. The room. I wasn't expecting much and didn't plan to stay in the room for long due to the good weather. What was important to me was the rooftop. When I entered the room, the blow hit me. The room was so small that I could hardly turn around. It smelled like mold. The guest's long hair was in front of me (or the cleaning staff?) on the bed, but I also found it in the shower. The ”view” from the tiny window shows the view of a dark courtyard from which there is a terrible smell of cigarette smoke. Uninsulated electric cables protrude from the ceiling. It was a nightmare. I took my stuff and went back to reception - I couldn't stay here. Waiting for the elevator, I heard loud and prolonged unambiguous moans across the hall - I've rarely been so ashamed of others. In short - there is nothing left of the ”gloss” of the ratings. Based on my experiences, this hotel can only be described as a hot sheet hotel (no-tell hotel). The manager was outrageous and her employee no less rude, but at least she wasn't drunk in broad daylight. Both of them steadfastly refused to refund me the amount paid. I will have to contact ******* over this. Clear negative recommendation from my travel experience in 2022. I strongly advise against a visit if style, ambience and health are important to you.

Pour la seconde fois, nous avons séjourné dans ce très bel hôtel après notre arrivée en ferry. L’an dernier par hasard et cette année par conviction et pour pouvoir découvrir un peu plus les atouts d’Ajaccio. Très bon séjour ! Le personnel (accueil et petit déjeuner) est très gentil, souriant et à l’écoute. Nous regrettons simplement, avec la canicule, qu’aucune chambre ne possède de mini frigo… Cela reste un détail car la chambre est très jolie et propre ! Nous reviendrons…

I only stayed for 2 nights, but overall I enjoyed my time there. The walls are very thin, so you might need some ear plugs, but the hosts have been amazing and very helpful with advice, making sure that checking in with a late arrival was possible as well as just overall being very friendly and welcoming. The room is nice and the bathroom clean. It's not a fancy hotel, but the location is very good, I would go there again another time.

Leesa greeted us professionally on arrival, and provided us with Room 208; one of the historic rooms on the hotel. This generously-sized room had windows/doors opening onto a wrap around balcony so we had east-west AND north-south views. The bathroom also had doors that opened onto the balcony and all had outside shutters so the light an d privacy could be controlled. The room was spotlessly clean, and peaceful, restful and quiet. The bed was comfy, as were the pillows, and the linens were of good quality and expertly laundered. Parking is right on the street, and we had little trouble finding a spot within 50 feet of the door. That said, Leesa said I was lucky to find it. All in all this hotel provided an excellent value and the staff could not have been nicer. The area is great for walking so one we parked the car, we didn’t use it again u til we departed the hotel. There are many attractions bars, restaurants, shops and services within steps of the front door. There is even a proper barber on the same street, and I noticed a place for laundry on our sojourns. The area felt very safe and was well-lit in the evening. Two minimal disappointments and in fairness we didn’t discover them until it was too late to call the desk; -the heated towel rack in our room did not work, so a sink full of laundry didn’t dry overnight. It did dry on the east-west part of the balcony after the sun came up. - a lack of luggage racks in the room. One suit case went on the desk and the others were just on the floor. The wonderful and efficient Leesa also recommended and booked a table for us at Marinette, where we were treated to an excellent meal, prepared by the namesake’s grandson. Leesa also recommended an excellent knitwear designer’s clothing shop across the street, called Nine (pronounced Neene)

Premier séjour réussi, rien à redire confortable, silence tout en étant dans la ville, propreté impeccable, personnel attentif et efficace. Un bon restaurant à coté à des prix très correct et de qualité. Petit déjeuner un peu cher sauf si on est un gros déjeuneur du matin, il y a de quoi se remplir la panse. A conseiller les yeux fermés.

Ideal accommodation for a change of scenery with the sea view, pleasant heated swimming pool, very friendly staff, completely correct accommodation even if some elements would need to be changed (the chest of drawers that lived and the shower curtain). Re

Cadre idyllique sur cette île de toute beauté. Photos conformes.Petit bémol sur la résidence un peu vieillissante et le ménage pas toujours parfaitement réalisé mais rien de bien méchant
