Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was conveniently located near the town center of Porto-Vecchio, just a street across from restaurants, shops, and the old town. The rooms were disappointing with a bad smell, dirty walls, and a small size like a closet, although they turned out to be two separate rooms plus a bathroom. The dining experience had its flaws but was overall good.
Staying at this hotel had its pros and cons. The rooms, while practical, were on the small side with limited views, not quite matching the pictures from the booking app. On the upside, they were suitable for a business-style visit. The service was accommodating enough to offer an early breakfast for our early departure from Figari airport, yet the language barrier was a challenge with no English spoken. The location, although not optimal, was in a hilly suburb outside central Porto Vecchio, but it was near the town center and some lovely boutiques. The dining experience, though fresh and nice, turned out to be a bit pricey at 13 euros. Despite some drawbacks, the facilities were decent with options for dry cleaning, laundry, and tours/ticket assistance.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, despite having a parking lot view, were small and overpriced, but they were well-equipped and comfortable. The service was a bit challenging due to the language barrier but was saved by the early breakfast service for our early departure. The location was superb, just a short walk from the center. The dining options were decent though a bit pricey. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
The hotel offered a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were comfortable but not exactly as depicted in the booking app. The service was fast and friendly, with some shortcomings in room accommodation solutions. The location was conveniently close to the town center but might not suit everyone's taste. The dining experience was a bit of a letdown, but the facilities were satisfactory.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was comfortable but too small for two adults. On the bright side, the beds were comfy, and the bathroom was lovely, with towels provided. However, the closet's placement made it easy to bump our heads on it. The service was a hit or miss - some staff members were downright rude while others were fantastic, making us feel truly welcome. The location was convenient, with easy access to restaurants and shops, perfect for exploring the old town of Port Veccio. The dining was quite expensive but with a delicious breakfast offering breathtaking views of the 'Golfe de Porto-Vecchio'. Unfortunately, the dining experience was not as impressive for lunch and dinner. The hotel had excellent facilities, but the price could be considered on the higher side for the overall experience.
