Hotel berhampiran Bastia Cathedral, Bastia

Belle chambre avec vue sur la mer mais le petit déjeuner est cher pour ce qu’il est vraiment. 25€ 🤔

Reception: Lady at reception was far too busy chatting and eating with other staff at the bar to greet us, as we walked into the hotel at 9.30pm. Once acknowledged she was helpful and explained the hotel details. Upon departure and checkout there was no conversation, no question “if i enjoyed my stay”, nothing, the staff were more interested in chatting to each order. Room / facilities: Room number 001 is on the ground floor (floor 0) and is clean, quiet large and faces a busy small street. This makes the room noisy when the window is open. There is a semi self control air conditioning, where heat and cool is controlled centrally , but we control the fan speed and temperature, there is a window that opens. The room has 2 very comfortable single beds made into 1x king bed, square pillows (not normal length pillows and no additional pillows), coffee maker with 2x free coffee pods (don’t ask for additional ones as these cost €1.50 each), there is no tea or instant coffee facilities or sugar/milk offered, there is a microwave, fridge, separate toilet room, bathroom with shower only, clothes hanging area with safe, full length mirror, desk and flat screen TV. There is not even a welcome water bottle is offered to new guests. Parking: is available at an additional cost of €4 per night Wifi: Complementary and really good speed, password required. Breakfast: Available for additional cost, but not utilised on this stay. Conclusion: Poorly designed rooms, noisy rooms with street (city) view, ocean view rooms also see the remains of old basketball courts once used by the previous land owner, the water views are distant and to be honest, not worth the extra money, staff are not overly friendly, but just MEH. Letdowns: Where do i start: - Poor design of rooms, - microwave and coffee machine are on one side of the bench, but there is no power outlet behind the machines, these items need to be moved along the bench to be plugged in to function, - the fridge cupboard has no fridge inside as there is no power outlet for the fridge to be plugged in, the fridge is placed next to the bed and is quiet loud to be functional at night when in use, - bedside power outlets are located under the bed side tables making them very hard to use - the spare toilet roll is sitting on the “in use” roll holder and the spare will easily fall off when the other “in use” roll is used, the only place to put the spare roll is on the floor. - lighting is terrible in the room, as there is no light above the microwave bench, nearest one is near the entry door and does not shine enough light on the bench, - the shower has NO light in the cubical, and a small light over the bathroom sink which does not shine much light into the shower making it dark, - there is black mould in the shower corner, - the carpet just off the bathroom entry tiles is wet, - there is no shower curtain or screen to stop water going all over the floor in front of the shower entry and bathroom sink

Joie! une chambre disponible dès le matin! Et une promotion express dont j'apprenais l'existence. Accueil jeune, féminin (je n'ai pas vu un seul garçon dans le personnel pendant mon séjour), chaleureux. Bâtiment dans son jus, avec encore des appartements privés dans les étages, combinaison originale, mais semble t il pas exceptionnelle dans Bastia. Salons magnifiques au rez de chaussée (et frais quand il fait chaud), peu utilisés par la clientèle semble t il, dommage. Comme il n'y a pas d'ascenseur et que les plus hautes chambres sont au 5eme étage, le personnel passe sa journée à monter et descendre les escaliers! Plus central, comme son nom l'indique, c'est difficile. Pas de parking, mais vu le bâtiment et la localisation, ça se comprend.

Rooms were modern, thoughtfully appointed, and tastefully furnished. Our family of four got 2 connecting classic rooms. The best part was definitely the staff. So professional, so efficient, so helpful, and very kind, especially to the children. They were always 2 steps ahead - eg asking if we needed dinner in the downstairs restaurant, giving a small gift to the children to occupy them at breakfast, and asking if we knew where to park. We will be back in Bastia in a week and staying at the Best Western again. Highly recommend this hotel.

After an accident in the mountains, we got stranded in Bastia. The hotel turned out to be a perfect place to stay. Super friendly staff who were always trying to help however they could. The rooms are spacious and there were even racks to get up from the toilet. The hotel provided a wheelchair for the person who had broken her ankle in the mountains. Everything was superclean (much cleaner than in the hospital) and the food was delicious. I don’t think we’ve ever stayed in a better hotel than this.
