Very nice and clean hotel for those considering to make Bastia their base in the island. Very happy with hygiene standards and the staff. However, the room service was disappointing. It was very late + horrible tasting pasta. One of the worst in my life. Because how can you make pasta bad? Don’t want to think of other dishes. Nevertheless it was a good stay.

I stayed here 6 nights whilst working in Bastia. Taxi from the airport is between €50 - €75 depending on time of day. Great location in terms of privacy and closeness to the albeit rocky beach and about a 20min walk to the centre. It’s a 4 star hotel with the associated high prices. I had a room on the third floor with a fantastic east facing sea view so experienced amazing undisturbed sun rises. The room itself was spacious enough with accompanying private balcony. There’s a mini bar, coffee making facility, power points by the bedside, a safe and ample storage. The bathroom was modern and clean with a bath/shower, separate toilet. Of course there’s air conditioning but I often woke up during the night too hot. The blackout shutters are perfect and didn’t let a single ray of light in - important for an east facing room (all rooms are). House keeping did a good job cleaning but often didn’t replace the complimentary bottled water. Though the breakfast itself wasn’t anything special (but the coffee is excellent) the setting is amazing if you opt to sit on the balcony. However it’s certainly not worth €19 and if I had a car I’d have driven somewhere else for it. The outside areas are well kept and the separate restaurant near the pool is a great place to relax with access to the stony beach below. There’s a pizza restaurant just a 10 minute walk from the hotel but not a lot else. All the staff were helpful and friendly and spoke reasonable English compared to my dismal French. Overall a very nice stay but very expensive but availability at the time was very low in Bastia.

Nous avons réserver une suite familiale ,il est stipulé que l'intimité est préservé entre la chambre et le séjour avec le canapé lit mais il n'en ai rien ,il n'y a aucune porte de séparation . Le petit déjeuner est assez simple pour un 4 étoiles et un prix assez important . La qualité des produits ne fait pas rêver (Gaufre , crêpe, yaourt et autre industrielle ) très très peu de produits locaux . Nous sommes habitué à voyager en hôtel, et à l'étranger , nous sommes déçu de ce 4 étoiles .
