Castel Vecchio

The hotel as a whole lives up to its name. This, of course, is not yet an "old castle", but the interior is already slightly outdated. But everything works. A big plus of the hotel in our eyes is the presence of a swimming pool. In the morning we used this option with pleasure. The price of 100 euros per double seems excessive. This is the price of Hilton, Mercure or Marriott in other cities. But apparently in Corsica, prices were not reduced even during the pandemic. ..

We stayed for a night, passing through Ajaccio. The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. The breakfast was good and there was plenty of it. The rooms were a little on the cramped side and the hotel feels a little old fashioned, like stepping back into the 70s. The pool was on our floor, much to the children’s delight.

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.

Extremely small room, with a desk of strange form (seems taken from another place) that has no connection to the room. If someone is sitting at the desk, he must get up for another person to pass. Definitely not a room for two. No fridge, TV that takes half of desk space, so I had to sit on the right side where the desk almost meets the bed with less than one foot distance. To get up I had to push the chair sideways, because was already flash to the bed. Safe box in the wardrobe. Very slow Wi-Fi connection. The bathroom is OK, but not much space for towels. Amazing shower with all sides massage that one will appreciate after long walks in the city. Nice balcony but looks towards the street and is very noisy. The window and the door are single glass type and transmit noise easily. We were lucky to get the room at the end of the corridor, so no passing-by guests’ noise. Huge hotel with almost no parking space. There are 12 regular parking spaces, 2 handicap ones that are always occupied by non-handicap cars and one electric car parking space with charger. There is a high chance you will find a place on the street. Nice foyer, coffee machine and vending machine, helpful personnel. Indoor pool.

Stayed with Newmarket Holidays. Very poor experience. Had to fight to be able to eat breakfast in main restaurant, we were segregated to a conference room on the first morning! We actually ignored this on day 2 and had breakfast in the restaurant and staff were very abrupt telling us we couldn’t sit at certain tables. Room was very dated and tired. Soap dispenser fell off the wall, water in bath was brown one night! View from our room was bins and run down looking block of flats! Not what you want on holiday! Hotel advertised with a swimming pool…….it looked grubby and run down ….. Serving at the bar seemed to be too much trouble for the staff in the evening! The was one older gentleman who was very nice and helpful, apart from him we found the staff unhelpful.

Room clean and OK but dated decor. Staff in the ‘restaurant’ were offhand and impolite. As we were part of a Newmarket Group we were not allowed to sit in certain areas of the dining hall or terrace. No explanation was given and we were herded into the permitted area with no apology. Slight change in attitude of the staff after our rep spoke with them. However, most of the food was of a very poor quality with no choices. Newmarket need to change to a better hotel. This was not a cheap holiday and the hotel provided should be better

We were booked into this hotel for 3 nights as part of a Newmarket tour of Sardinia and Corsica. We were astonished to learn that this hotel has no workable kitchen and all our food throughout our 3 night stay was brought in by outside caterers. We had no choice of the poor quality meals offered, other than the special diet requests. The hotel is situated up a side street at the edge of the City and is quite a hike into the main centre. The rooms were adequate but nothing to write home about. I was glad that we were not staying any longer than we did. The few staff we encountered were not the most helpful at times.

Perfect all the best place to be
