Hôtel Castel Vecchio
8/10 Good
"Room was simple and clean. Nice pool (swim with goggles!). My only complaint was the WiFi which, on the day I stayed, was too slow to do anything useful with. Heads-up that there are multiple places in Ajaccio with "Castel Vecchio" as the name. Make sure to use the correct address when finding this hotel."
"Beautiful hotel with artwork everywhere
Staff were incredibly helpful with scooter hire and local beaches etc. The receptionists in particular clearly love the hotel and it is apparent in their cheary manner. Thankyou for making our stay amazing xx"
"Unfortunately I think I received one of the more basic rooms. The bathroom was tiny with no shelf space above the basin and the room itself was very small. Glancing into a room being cleaned next door I would say my room was much more compact.
The air conditioning was excellent as was the double glazing on the windows. The wifi however was very patchy going in and out all the time.
Its location couldn’t be bettered though."
"We spent 3 nights here as our last stop in Corsica. Beautiful property and great location! The service was great and everyone was very friendly. The rooms were nice and clean. We didn't realize when we booked this is part of more of a "long-term" stay community. So the rooms have small kitchens, but that also meant there was no restaurant or bar on-site. They service a great breakfast in the morning however. We walked (about 8 minutes) to the beach everyday which was amazing!"
"The room was small but comfortable. There was no tea kettle or frig, which we had throughout similarly priced hotels throughout Corsica. Breakfast was OK with quite a crowd one morning, items were there but seemed to take multiple trips to gather up and breakfast room was very warm. Staff was pleasant and helpful but no allowance was made for late checkout, though they did give us clearly check in and store our luggage at the end of our stay. No phone call instructions for room phone. Stay was OK. Reception area allowed us to sit awhile while waiting for a late ferry. The bathroom shower was next to impossible to use without getting water all over the floor, heated towel rack did not seem to work. Good location for beach, ferry and restaurants a few blocks away."
"Staff were welcoming and the room was spacious with nice view of the pool and gardens. Internet wasn't super strong and we had to keep reconnecting.
The hotel is away from the big resorts down the beach but not far enough to avoid the very loud music coming from the night clubs which kept us awake until 2am.
Nice family place but the loud music spoiled our stay."
Hostels can be a less expensive alternative to Corse-du-Sud hotels, as you can stay in a shared dormitory. There is 1 hostel in Corse-du-Sud. CORSICA HOSTEL PORTO VECCHIO offers free in-room WiFi and laundry facilities.
