Ajaccio Hotels with Balcony

Spent two nights here on a Leger tour. The hotel is near the port in a busy, not particularly nice area. Being a solo traveller, I had a small single room. The room was very dated and tired looking and was next to the lift, so not much sleep. There was no fridge which was really needed in the heat for cold drinks the 'fridge' was an empty cupboard! The swimming pool was in the block next door and not very clean with a terrible amount of scum on the pool tiles, but there was plenty of seating around it. The breakfast was OK but the evening meal was not great. Drinks were a bit expensive and hit and miss with what you ordered to what you got. Staff were reasonably friendly. The location is a short bus ride to the old town which is very interesting and has a lovely beach. Would not be my choice as a holiday hotel, but OK for a night or two.

Leesa greeted us professionally on arrival, and provided us with Room 208; one of the historic rooms on the hotel. This generously-sized room had windows/doors opening onto a wrap around balcony so we had east-west AND north-south views. The bathroom also had doors that opened onto the balcony and all had outside shutters so the light an d privacy could be controlled. The room was spotlessly clean, and peaceful, restful and quiet. The bed was comfy, as were the pillows, and the linens were of good quality and expertly laundered. Parking is right on the street, and we had little trouble finding a spot within 50 feet of the door. That said, Leesa said I was lucky to find it. All in all this hotel provided an excellent value and the staff could not have been nicer. The area is great for walking so one we parked the car, we didn’t use it again u til we departed the hotel. There are many attractions bars, restaurants, shops and services within steps of the front door. There is even a proper barber on the same street, and I noticed a place for laundry on our sojourns. The area felt very safe and was well-lit in the evening. Two minimal disappointments and in fairness we didn’t discover them until it was too late to call the desk; -the heated towel rack in our room did not work, so a sink full of laundry didn’t dry overnight. It did dry on the east-west part of the balcony after the sun came up. - a lack of luggage racks in the room. One suit case went on the desk and the others were just on the floor. The wonderful and efficient Leesa also recommended and booked a table for us at Marinette, where we were treated to an excellent meal, prepared by the namesake’s grandson. Leesa also recommended an excellent knitwear designer’s clothing shop across the street, called Nine (pronounced Neene)

The hotel really needs updating, dirty carpets and walls inside feels like a hostel, not a nice arrival to be honest. Our window faced what looked like a caravan park and felt a bit sketchy. The hotel was air conditioned though, the front desk staff very helpful and accommodating. The best bit was the beach opposite, though you have to travel through a creepy underpass to get to it. The beach is stunning and the beach restaurant has a great vibe. There is nowhere else around to eat and nothing else to do. It's great to be near such a lovely beach for a few days and the pool area is ok, not too crowded. The hotel is very clean. The restaurant lacks atmosphere and the food isn't great which is a shame. Breakfast is ok, the fruit isn't fresh and there isn't too much choice. Lovely to be near this beach but I'm shocked this is a 4 star hotel and it really does need a re vamp.

On ne peut pas trouver mieux sur la route des Sanguinaires : il y a tous les services et le personnel est remarquable dans sa gentillesse et son efficacité ; bravo à toute l équipe et à très bientôt

Ideal accommodation for a change of scenery with the sea view, pleasant heated swimming pool, very friendly staff, completely correct accommodation even if some elements would need to be changed (the chest of drawers that lived and the shower curtain). Re

Cadre idyllique sur cette île de toute beauté. Photos conformes.Petit bémol sur la résidence un peu vieillissante et le ménage pas toujours parfaitement réalisé mais rien de bien méchant
