Purtroppo i condizionatori della stanza sono vecchi e non adeguati a creare refrigerio durante la notte. Ci hanno offerto un upgrade in un’altra stanza più ampia ma senza dirci che sarebbe stata molto più esposta al caldo. La stanza sembrava un forno, il vecchio sistema di climatizzazione centralizzato è chiaramente insufficiente. Purtroppo non abbiamo chiuso occhio. A peggiorare il tutto, è stata la mancanza di comprensione da parte del personale in reception. Il personale della colazione è stato attento e sempre disponibile.

Small room but bathroom modern and clean. Balcony overlooked the square which was busy and noisy at night but wasn’t too late and the power window shutter blocked a lot out. Breakfast was on terrace and nice. Staff were lovely. They were excellent. Station is up the hill. We took a taxi as it was too hot. Nice hotel.

Lovely stay great location for bars restaurants and the ferry terminal. Beautiful view from the balcony. Only complaint about the room was the shelf above the headboard which we did hit our head on a couple of times. Loved the blackout blinds and the room was very quiet with the doors closed. Loved the included breakfast. The staff were lovely. Would definitely recommend.

I stayed in a single for three nights and a double (with view of Porto Vecchio) for one night. Oddly, the single was a bigger room, albeit with a small bed. The narrow tub in the single room took dexterity to egress, not suitable if you have mobility issues. Although they have an elevator, reaching this room required taking the stairs from the 1st to the 2nd floor. Breakfast was satisfactory. The food choices and layout were not quite as good as other hotels I have stayed at. The wait staff were friendly and attentive. Only about 20% of the ceiling lights were on in the dining room, leaving the room a bit dark for my preference. Location was excellent and the price was very reasonable.
