Bastia hotellia

Plussat: Receptionist was friendly, helpful and efficient...beyond the norm. Outside balcony was unexpected and a great place for relaxing. The room and bathroom were spotlessly white.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Very close to the ferry. Parking (we left most luggage in the car).

Miinukset: No restaurant. Though on walking distance (cut through the cemetery), an Italian restaurant, Sci Santa Lucia, not looking like much to be honest, but with beautiful food, was the solution.

Plussat: The beautiful gardens and very nice breakfast + the lovely swimming pool, ping-pong table and fitness facilities for the children. The extra-pleasant terras and nice view on the sea. The night-lights in the garden.

Miinukset: Once you come out of the hotel, you need a car. The street is very steep and there are not many busses to Bastia . Waiting time for taxi's is long , but once you come unto the big street there is a very nice supermarket and pharmacy.

Plussat: Hard to find something to comment out as the site, rooms, garden, crops, flower, swimming pool were simply extraordinary. Will come again for sure as It Is a nice Place for the Sea and tactic because 5minutes from Ferries

Plussat: Swimming pool, the garden and good breakfast.

Plussat: A little gem just outside Bastia, perfect for exploring the area. Staff were fantastic and always smiling. I'd come back again! Thank you all for making our stay memorable.

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: In the first days of August the temperature of the swimming pool was too warm, a little cold water added would have been nice !

Plussat: The unique location. Smashing view on the “Vieux Port” , Elba and the amazing sunrise

Miinukset: It is related to the unique location inside the Citadel, but unloading your car is a little bit of effort. You have to bring your car for a limited period close to the hotel, however, it is not too big a deal. You need to park your car for the remainder of your stay in the Citadel Parking, a parking with a sea view as well

Plussat: We only had breakfast in the hotel, but its just such a lovely setting, the location is quiet with beautiful views. I would definitely come again.

Miinukset: We could have done with a better walking map when we arrived at the drop off point. We arrived at midnight and it took us slightly longer than it should have done to find the hotel.

Plussat: The room was big, clean, comfortable, with a nice view on both the old and new ports and the sea. Since it was low season we could afford a bigger room than usual. The staff was nice and efficient. The breakfast was good and varied. Had all the amenities you expect from a nice hotel (previous ones didn't).

Miinukset: The breakfast was somewhat expensive. There were only a few toasts and they didn't get refilled. The person taking care of the breakfast seemed quite inexperienced and trainee-like level. Located in the Citadelle, the hotel can only be access by foot, which makes it somewhat painful when coming by car and with luggages.

Plussat: gorgeous views. loved the old town and walkability. nice staff.

Miinukset: easier access /. we had to walk from the parking lot .

Miinukset: did not like to be charged without my approval on my credit card

Plussat: Very nice location and view of the port from the rooms with balcony

Plussat: Unique location in the medieval citadel, nice clean place, good sumptuous breakfast

Miinukset: no car access

Plussat: Location-stunning

Miinukset: The carpet in the room was very thin and needed to be cleaned or better replaced. The floor also needed repair.

Plussat: The dinners were very very good. And that was a blessing cause there were no other restaurants nearby.

Miinukset: The lawns and gardens at the back had been soiled by a couple of ducks with upset systems. Their mess was everywhere.

Plussat: Great pool very close to the airport and comfortable bed.

Plussat: The reception staff and hotel manager were polite and professional. The woman working the reception at check in went out of her way to help with a rental car issue as well as with transportation for the next day. This meant so much as I was completely exhausted ( no sleep for over 24 hours) and had traveled a long way under a stressful situation. The receptionist at check out went above and beyond to help arrange a taxi so I could skip trying to maneuver multiple buses with suitcases.. Quick response from the hotel manager regarding an issue I had with my meal the night before. I would highly recommend this hotel and the restaurant. I’ve attached a picture. They have a skilled chef and waitstaff. Every person around me had a work of art on their plate. My mozzarella salad was beautiful And delicious! I’ve attached a picture. Room 401 Comfy bed. View of the water from my balcony.

Miinukset: Picked hotel for Wi-Fi and restaurant. needed Wi-Fi To plan the next few days accommodations. no fault of the hotel, Wi-Fi was not working during my stay. I was excited to experience the chefs main course. What was served was not what I expected= over-cooked slab of meat and a container of french fries. Totally lacking in presentation.. my fault for not knowing the language. I had not eaten the meal and There was no attempt to correct the issue. To his defense he was also trying to manage a table of 20! And, The hotel manager let me know he was not going to charge me for the meal- even though I didn’t ask to not pay. Very nice! My tip, don’t be shy - take your time to make sure the waiter and you are on the same page! Hotel is In an industrial area. Absolutely need a car. Do not count on consistent taxi service. I waited 45 minutes to get a taxi from the port to the hotel yet leaving the hotel, the taxi was 10 minutes early. Room 401 has a handheld shower system.

Plussat: the best service and welcome in a hotel ever in Corsica ! Personel is so nice and helpful ! We had a nice room with view on the sea. Breakfast is large and very good !

Miinukset: The only downside is the size of the parking. A bit tight.

Plussat: The first impression of the reception and the helpful staff was good. They explained us everything regarding the hotel, Spa, etc. The rooms are functional but with a nice view to the sea. They have a lot of staff especially in the reception, breakfast and even for the spa area. There is a pool, a gym, a sauna and they are trying to make your stay as nice as possible.

Plussat: Staff was amazing; sport facilities, sauna and swimming-pools, good

Miinukset: The inside of the rooms is a bit old, but not bad

Plussat: Location; a certain charm

Miinukset: Nothing in particular

Plussat: Hotelli tosi hyvällä paikalla, kävelyetäisyys satamaan ja kaikkialle muualle, aamiainen perushyvä, siisti, henkilökunta ystävällistä.

Miinukset: Huone oli kulunut, twin huoneen sängyt huonoja, valaistus huono. Oltiin pari yötä, joten ei sinänsä haitannut, mutta odotin enemmän. Comfort-double huoneet paljon parempia, suosittelen varaaman niitä.

Plussat: Staff were exceptional. When our bikes broke down on the road they assisted. When the ferry left 5 hours early- they assisted!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The salon and the art

Plussat: Old-world, quirky hotel, very charming.

Miinukset: Would have liked an electric kettle.

Plussat: Location. Twin beds available. Good value.

Plussat: Amazing guest experience from Maeva the receptionist who was very supportive with any query we had.

Plussat: The staff were very helpful and the rooftop pool was nice. The process and communication were simple and it was easy to find the place. Bastia is great.

Miinukset: The walk to the hotel was longer than expected but there are a few nice beaches along the way so not really a problem unless you need to move quick.

Plussat: The room was nice and spacious. Great bathroom. Excellent breakfast.

Miinukset: It had a refrigerator, but no plug, so it was useless.

Plussat: The personnel was very nice. There is a roof top and a swimming pool. Very nice and clean room. Shampoo and shower gel was bio :-)

Miinukset: too far from Bastia ferry

Plussat: The reception staff was friendly. Hotel is convenient for one night stay as it’s close to the port.

Miinukset: The breakfast wasn’t value for money.

Plussat: Hotel was better than any three star hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Nice little details like coffee machine and shower gel &shampoo in the bathroom.

Plussat: The rooftop restaurant is really beautiful with excellent food and drinks and a wonderful view. The rooms are a little bit old fashioned, but the stuff is really nice and helpful.

Miinukset: rooms interior is a little bit old fashioned, but room is big enough and clean, all good.

Plussat: Location from the positive perspective (there is a negative one as weell, see bellow) - there is a beautiful sea-view as promissed on the photographs. Very pleasant roof restaurant/bar - there was even a life music performance - I can't say if it is a rule as we stayed only for one night. The staff was nice and helpful and the room was clean with own cofee maker.

Miinukset: Location from the negative perspective - the hotel is far away from the town center (45 minutes walking to the Bastia port) directly on the main road and there is not much around (petrol station and maybe one restaurant). Maybe, it would not be such a problem as we had a rented car, however there is another problem called parking place - the number of places is limited and there is not much possibilities near the hotel. We were lucky and catched the last place on the hotel property which we did not want to loose and therefore reather didn't use the car. It was not a big deal for us as we used the hotel really just to sleep over before our departure from the Bastia airport. However from this reason I wouldn't recomend it for a longer stay. The pool and the area around are small and If you book the room with the hill view, well, you get the hill view (hill is aprox. 3 meters from the window which affects the amount of the sunlight in the room). Generally speaking, I believe there are better deals in-/ or near Bastia.

Plussat: Friendly staff, breakfast was ok, close parking lot, clean room

Miinukset: Steep walk uphill from the harbour

Plussat: Very comfy bed as usual. This is our 4th stay here

Miinukset: More milk for the tea and coffee. 2 small sachets only. I made this comment last year but nothing has changed

Plussat: The staff were very friendly and helpful. I was able to keep my bike safely there.

Plussat: The location was good overlooking the town,but it was a long haul back uphill after having our evening meal at the Vieux Port. You do need to be reasonably fit if you want to explore Bastia on foot from this location. It was a wise move paying to park in the hotel car park as all over the island parking is a problem.

Miinukset: The first night we booked an evening meal in the hotel restaurant. It was the first and last time we ate there. We ordered an entrée from the buffet which cost 6 euros and was really poor, so we changed our minds and ordered a very indifferent paté à la campagne. The main of chicken was very dry and together with frozen frites and frozen haricots was not good although my husband said his steak was ok. We headed for the port where there are some lovely restaurants in a beautiful setting for the next two nights!

Plussat: Clean room. Food restaurant good

Miinukset: Great little stay for 1 night

Plussat: Hyvät huoneet, autotalli autolle, hyvä aamiainen.

Miinukset: Sijainnista. Kaukana keskustasta ja ravintolapalveluista.

Plussat: Clean, friendly staff, quick check in, amenities

Plussat: Excellent restaurant on the premises, with al fresco dining in a small but attractive courtyard full of flowering plants. Convenient free parking, always a plus! I also appreciated having a room on the ground floor, as requested when booking, for a person with mobility problems when navigating stairs. I will return to this hotel tne next time I am in Bastia.

Plussat: Very friendly welcome. Parking. Location within walking distance of centre.

Miinukset: Parking was limited (not sure what I would have done if I hadn't found a space).

Plussat: Helpful staff.

Miinukset: Small room. Noisy from the stairs and window opened directly onto the roof terrace. Must be tricky in summer. Very humid with non-functioning fan in the bathroom and A/C a bit fickle. I'm sure other rooms must be bigger?

Plussat: Parking opposite but got full quickly. Quiet despite busy road.

Plussat: The room, staff and dining experience were all very good . For an overnight stay it was absolutely fine although quite a walk from the centre .

Miinukset: The surrounding environment is a bit tatty and my room although nice inside, had frosted glass in the window and looked out on a yard at window sill level.

Plussat: The staff was great! Really friendly Rooms were very clean!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very pleasant surprise. Small hotel with a vwry good restaurant - uses local products and has a great wine offer.

Miinukset: Nothing to complain. We stayed only one night and it was good.

Plussat: Perfect for a short stay in Bastia

Plussat: The place is very good for traveller who arrives by ship. Quiet at night. There is a small fridge in the room. Wi-Fi worked well all the time. There are two small supermarkets nearby. You can have breakfast (for additioan price -7 Euro) in your room. The main grand square of Bastia is in 50 meters. You can reach market place and the old harbor in 5 minutes.

Miinukset: The price is a bit high (90 Euro). The fridge is small and doesn't work well. The combined WC is very small

Plussat: Everything was fine

Miinukset: No lift and the stairs are difficult with heavy bags - the staff did help carry bags down at end of stay which was appreciated

Plussat: nice clean hotel - reception open all night long

Miinukset: room did not really have a window; window is in the bathroom - it is looking at a central court, but everyone can look into your room

Plussat: Location was brilliant, host was friendly and knowledgeable, room was clean, nice to have a balcony too!

Miinukset: Room was a little smaller than expected.

Plussat: The room was large and the bathroom was spotlessly clean.

Plussat: Friendly stuff speak English. Good location.

Miinukset: Private parking is far from the hotel and you need to take remote control from the gate and return it after. i takes time!

Plussat: Henkilökunta oli todella mukava ja avulias.

Plussat: Hotel not far from the train station and the harbor for the ferry. Nothing special. Just a bed in a room. But the people are friendly and they speak good English.

Plussat: kuten aikaisemmillakin kerroilla henkilökunta oli jälleen erittäin ystävällistä ja antoi lukuisia uusia tietoja mielenkiintoisesta saarestaan

Miinukset: säät

Plussat: Perfect location for access to the ferry ( 7 minute downhill walk - even with heavy luggage!) Close to many and varied cafes and restaurants ( opted to have breakfast off premises ) Really great shower, good quality towels and spotlessly clean Spacious room with fridge, very effective quiet air conditioning and sound proofing on street facing windows Comfortable beds and good linen Elevator access to rooms on first floor ( if this is an issue ask specifically for one of these )

Miinukset: A little soulless but more than compensated by positives. Flimsy curtaining with street light outside ( didn't think to close the shutters! ) ,

Plussat: Very central, near the port. Large rooms and comfy beds

Plussat: Hotel has secure off street parking available. This was very important for us, with rented motorcycles. Very helpful reception staff. The location was just a couple of minutes walk from the main shopping street, bars and cafes opposite the ferry port. Reception is on the first floor, there is an elevator. Air conditioning worked well.

Miinukset: Room was cramped for 3 single beds and 3 people with motorcycle gear.

Plussat: Perinteinen ja jo tutuksi tullut.

Miinukset: Kaikki onnistui.

Plussat: It's locality and Staff were helpful.

Miinukset: Noice from the bikes outside

Miinukset: Teas coffees and hairdryer would have been nice.

Plussat: The location is perfect, it close to bus station and sea port 5 minutes by walk.can see sunrise on the sea by window, the boss is so nice, I will stay here next time if I were here!

Miinukset: Don’t have

Plussat: Close to "La Place", steaming ferries, bus, post office nearby. sorry no more points sorry no more points

Miinukset: Creditcards seem NOT to be liked, but at ATM on the other side of street the card was okay . Some staff at reception ONLY french speaking. No hairdryer, no safe to HIDE valuables, no shampoos. Reception in first floor and elevator fits only 4 suitcases & 1 person, rooms in floor above reception-a kind of experience !

Plussat: Close to the ferry perfect for one night before departure

Plussat: It was located right across from the port and we were taking the ferry to Toulon the next day. It was also walking distance to everything in town.

Miinukset: The elevator was very small.

Plussat: Very basic room but with everything you need. Clean, AC working. Close to the port, train station and city center.

Miinukset: Only one socket per room is not enough. Quite loud and busy hallway especially in the morning, seemed it’s because of the cleaning service, so no excuse.

Miinukset: Kylpyhuoneesta levisi pahaa hajua koko huoneeseen ja äänet kulkeutuivat käytävältä ja naapurihuoneesta häiritsevästi.

Plussat: Location, staff

Miinukset: No plug in bathroom sink, 1light globe not working, wi-fi didn't work

Plussat: Very good French breakfast, excellent location, spacious room,

Plussat: friendly staff, very helpful, lovely building, hotel is in the perfect place to stay, in the middle of the town.... overlooked the med.

Plussat: Staff. Location

Miinukset: Hard to find parking nearby. Rooms on top floor have no elevator.

Plussat: Close to the ferry, which was why we stayed here 1 night-to catch an early Ferry.

Miinukset: Room was very small, basically just a space with a bed. The bedsheets were rough.

Plussat: Sijainti

Miinukset: Huoneen koosta, huone oli remontin tarpeessa, 1 tähteä olisi riittävä luokitus huoneelle.

Plussat: Close to terminal for the boat and train.

Plussat: Staff was friendly and quite helpful. Location is very convenient to the Ferry dock. Price was very affordable for the economy room.

Miinukset: Economy room very small. One economy room we stayed in did not have air conditioning so we had to leave the window open. Neighborhood can be quite noisy.

Plussat: Beautiful sea views in an old French style hotel. Great location to the old town.

Plussat: Place wonderfull. Nice staff. Nice people. Vivla la Corsica! I recomended Corsica.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: The hotel was clean.

Miinukset: The air conditioning was useless and the room baking hot but it wasn't possible to open the window because of the noise from the road. We got zero hours sleep. So an expensive shower.

Plussat: Ants in the room

Miinukset: Spacey and clean rooms

Plussat: In Bastia is the cheapest. The building is recent.

Miinukset: For extra 8 euro you can have breakfast: 1 butter, 1 marmelade, 1 bread, 1 brioches, some coffee and milk. No buffet. Could be cleaner.

Plussat: The staff was very friendly and professional.

Miinukset: Our bathroom was dirty and the overall structure rather rundown.

Plussat: Hotel Sampiero, is located near the beach. The hotel is an old building and needs immediate renovation. Although it is far from the center you can reach the old town in 15 minutes by car. The staff is friendly. Parking is available on site and is free of charge. WiFi connection is free and catastrophically bad.

Miinukset: Breakfast, 1 coffee, 1 Croissant, 1 orange juice for 8€ ;-(
