Best Western Hotel du Roy DAragon

Arrived by ferry from Santa Teresa Gallura and were easily able to wheel our suitcases along the flat path to this brilliantly positioned Best Western Roy D’Aragon. We were a little early for check in but were able to log into their wifi and make calls home to family in Australia (timing important due to time difference) while we waited. Fortunately our top floor port and Citadel facing balcony room was ready well before 4pm checkin time. Receptionist was most pleasant and made sure to get us in our beautiful room as soon as possible. The bed was comfortable but room itself very compact. Not a huge problem as we only stayed 2 nights. However the balcony added to the feel of the space and we made sure to make the most of the superb view by sitting out there as often as possible. We enjoyed our breakfast on balcony with excellent coffee from Hotel’s barista and fresh baguette and pastries from nearby bakery. We also bought provisions for a dinner with that view - quiches and wine from nearby supermarket. It truly is the best view in beautiful Bonifacio - morning, sunset and after dark - when the buildings and restaurants are all lit up. Magical. Absolutely loved this hotel and town. Make sure to walk up to top of castle/citadel for incredible views of Bonifacio and the pristine sea and rocks to other side. There’s also a whole other village up there! Loved our stay at this great hotel but make sure to book the port and citadel facing room with balcony if possible. Well worth it!

There is a big difference in the quality of rooms. My friends got wonderful rooms and were very happy. My room was next to a busy street, no view, internet didn’t work. Sort of depressing frankly. Having said that, staff was very friendly and great location.

While not in the cheapest range, the Hotel du Roy d'Aragon is well worth the money, Comfortable and clean with attentive and helpful staff, located right on Bonifacio marina (where boats leave for excursions like Lavezzi islands, etc...) We stayed there in the off-season (October), but it must get busy in the summer, just like all of Bonifacio. We had the family room accomodating 4 persons (Room 104) and particularly enjoyed the balcony overlooking the marina from one of the two sleeping spaces.

Location was outstanding and the reception was very nice and helpful. The rooms were good and bathroom were great. If you are going to Bonifacio, I would recommending stay in the port area vs outside of the town.

Really nice rooms, staff friendly and helpful. Parking works really well, which is super imporatnt. Rooms are a little small, but very nicely decorated and fitted out. Breafast buffet was okay, relatively simple, but suited me. They have a couple of other options for breakfast which seemed to be good value. Definately would stay again.

Given we were utilising public transport and leaving on an early ferry we needed somewhere in the harbour/old town area, of which there aren't any budget friendly or many options. This was the most expensive stay of 7 weeks travelling Europe, and although a nice hotel I think quite overpriced (€136). We stayed in Ajaccio for half the price the night before for similar room that was bigger. The 4pm check in is quite late and seems to be adhered to so after arriving around lunch time and wandering the citadel and old town we still had to wait around to get into our room. The staff were all very friendly and spoke very good English which was handy. The room was well appointed but small, had to walk sideway between the end of the bed and wall and the bathroom was very tight with nowhere to put toiletries in the shower. Also the lock on the door was broken. The walls aren't thick either as next door had music playing and it pounded through the walls, I had to knock on their door and ask them to turn it down. We appreciated the small fridge and the tea/coffee making, and the two supermarkets right next door were convenient. The location is right in the action of the marina and worked well for our requirements.

We stayed here in 2015 and had such a great experience we chose the Roy d’Aragon again. This time was just as magical. The staff is friendly and so accommodating, even giving us back the same room when our ferry was cancelled and we needed another night. Breakfast onsite was delicious, and the location is close to other restaurants and the Old Town, as well as parking. The room was beautiful with a great view, and the price was very reasonable for the excellent quality of the stay.

A small, friendly hotel on the busy quayside. The only snag is parking. You find somewhere to stop on arrival ( there’s a ‘parking minute’ a short way along from the hotel) and then obtain a card from the hotel while paying a caution of 80 euros. This lets you in to a public car park a short walk away. We cheated a little by just stopping at the hotel and unloading, but it’s too easy to hold up the quayside traffic unless one arrives late in the afternoon when delivery drivers have finished their work. Once in the hotel, the rest is fine. Our small but well equipped room on the fourth floor had a tiny balcony with excellent views of the port. The bed was comfortable, the shower room spotless, the lift was handy. Downstairs the hotel has a café open till quite late, serving breakfast for residents, ranging from about 6 euros for a hot and cold drink plus a croissant or generous slice of baguette with butter and jams, to 15 euros for a full breakfast. If back in Bonifacio, we would choose to stay here again even though we know about the parking system.
