CASTEL VECCHIO * * *
3 star hotel in the center of Ajaccio with a garden, many terraces, restaurants and bars
This three-star hotel has the advantage of being open all year round (except during the Christmas vacations) and offers about a hundred rooms, all with a sea view.
Located in the center of Ajaccio, opposite the marina, the Palais des expositions can also be reached on foot in 15 minutes. Thanks to its facilities, this hotel is as much a vacation hotel as a business hotel. Indeed, it has a garden and numerous terraces, restaurants and bars, as well as a year-round indoor heated swimming pool. What more could you ask for?

The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Cons ????
- The smell in the room from past cigarette-days is really bad (yes, people used to smoke in the rooms!), there are no refreshments to cover it. It has not been a pleasure trying to sleep with the disgusting smell
- The carpet is dirty
- The walls are dirty
- The interior is way outdated (maybe 70s or 80s) and the design is hideous (personal opinion)
- The AC also smelled bad, so we turned it off and opened the window. Unfortunately, this meant that we had to fight the mosquitos in the middle of the night (no net or similar has been installed to hinder insects from entering the room). Additionally, sleeping was also due to heavy and noisy traffic until 3am (yes, I am not joking) a challenge
- The light in the bathroom is okay but is relatively dark
- If you like good coffee, go somwhere else. The coffee we had wasn't tasty and the machine decided to work only sometimes
- The WiFi was okay, but the regularly disconnection sucks. We had to reconnect every tere and now
Pros ????
- The breakfast was worth the price and the variety is good. Also, the baguette was fresh and had a crunchy crust
- The cleaning staff was very friendly and did a proper job
- The pool was good and pleasant, though it also is old and you can clearly see that
- the bed was comfortable
To sum up: The hotel offers all the basics but lacks strongly in room and infrastructure quality. We were especially disappointed by the disgusting smell because this is not something that you expect for 110 Euros per night. The hotel is really old and definitely needs a general renovation. The location and the breakfasts are fair.
I hope that this review helps you to decide whether you want to choose the hotel or not. Corsica is beautiful, but only if you can enjoy it.
Chambre très vieillissante et mal insonorisée avec moquette et meubles d’un autre temps. Serviette trouée et parking toujours plein, impossible de se garer le soir. Jolie piscine.
Par contre petit parking.
Piscine propre
Tout le reste est top : personnel, petit déjeuner, propreté, Literie.
Nous sommes sincèrement désolé pour votre expérience négative. Pouvez vous me dire dans quelle chambre avez vous séjourné si vous vous en souvenez ?
Dans l’attente de votre retour
Cordialement
Nous avions réservé une chambre avec vue sur mer mais c'était plutôt vue sur immeuble et aucun geste commercial pour compenser. Seul point positif l'emplacement proche de la ville. Nous ne retournerons pas à cet hôtel
