"I stayed here for 4 nights. Great hotel, easily walkable to the restaurant/bar area of Ajaccio. The free underground parking was nice. I never had the breakfast but it looked good. There was a cute bar to have a drink at the end of the day. The main draw is that it’s adjacent to the busy tourist area but not actually in it. There are fancier hotels in the heart of the business/restaurant district but it was much too crowded there with various one-way streets so this hotel was easy to get in and out of with my rental car. If you rent an all-electric car, there are, at least a dozen, charging stations in the parking garage. I’ve never stayed at an Ibis hotel before but would definitely consider it in the future."
"Excellent facilities and friendly staff. Bring mosquito repellent and plug in mosquito killer for the room. We didn’t have a car however two small supermarkets with a limited selection are very close. We walked to a larger one when it was a bit of a dull day for the beach. Beware taxis on Corsica are crazy expensive so plan your activities accordingly. The beaches in the area are superb."
"This was a superb hotel as a base for our 5 night trip. Although situated just outside the main town it is excellent value for money whilst offering a high standard.
The rooms are extremely spacious and the whole of the hotel is modern, airy and welcoming.
The restaurant is situated on the top floor with lovely views of the mountains and the breakfast offering was plentiful and delicious.
A big shout out to Fabrice, the restaurant manager, who was so very friendly and helpful in giving us tips on the local area.
Dinner was also of a high standard and we enjoyed an amazing steak that was cooked to perfection and well presented.
The pool ( again situated on the top floor), was a welcome addition to cool off in the hot weather we experienced during our stay. "
"We had a lovely stay at Residence Sophia. We were given a lovely greeting and help with our bags. The cabin was exactly as advertised -clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The grounds were well maintained with very nice landscaping. The two swimming pools were brilliant, warm, clean and not crowded. Résidence Sophia is also in a great location for exploring the island easily via the T10. Thank you for a wonderful stay! "
