My two friends and I stayed at the San Carlu for three nights, from March 15-18, 2013. We arrived on March 15th and were put in an attic room with no opening windows. After the first night we requested to be moved to a room that had windows that we would be able to open. The lady at the front... More

This hotel amenities are pretty good but its best asset is the location: close from the city historical centrer Citadelle, shopping area and outdoors bars and restaurants when comes the night. The price is really a good value especially in the weekend. We had a freshly renewed room, very clean which denotes a little bit with the building 50's ambiance... More

We have stayed in this hotel, at its convenient location, for one night. We took a room at the alley side. The room turned out to be very noisy in the morning, apparently because staff made preparations for the day? Breakfast perhaps? All in all it was not an unpleasant experience, apart from the noice, and the bed that was... More

Great location, friendly staff, nice sized room (very clean and bright)......breakfast was quite basic but perfectly adequate for most needs. Josie does a great job!! Ajaccio is a little like Nice but has much more for the holidaying tourist. ...a nice sandy beach LOTS of places to... More

Room was OK, hotel not as smart as appears on website - pretty bog standard. Stayed one night. Shower didn't stay up properly or work very well. Didn't have breakfast. Location was good. Seemed expensive relative to other hotels elsewhere in Corsica, but suspect this is a general problem in Ajaccio.

We stayed here in June and had a room on the second floor, a "Citadelle" room. We booked late and were given a "standard" room in the basement for the first night, which was a little basic, but fine. The "citadelle" room was much bigger, more comfortable and much quieter. We did find the bed a little uncomfortable-time for a... More

The hotel is probably one of the best located for exploring Ajaccio, its a stone's throw away from a section of beach and Napoleon's House/Birthplace. The room I stayed in (single room, double bed, pedestrian street side, second floor) looks to have been recently renovated. Clean, fresh, modern. The bathroom is large and spotless! The bed was comfortable enough for... More

An excellent base to explore Ajaccio! We had one of the best rooms in the place, in terms of view over the harbour and citadel, on the fourth floor. Although the public areas of the hotel are not impressive, the bedroom had been recently renovated, with an excellent bathroom. There are numerous restaurants close by, and it's only a 10... More

Our hotel, San Carlu Citadelle had a wonderful location overlooking the Citadel and sea, was recently renovated with a simple, clean and comfortable room #444 with a large shuttered window of the beautiful view. Wandered around and watched men play petanque near the harbor. Felt amazingly good without much jetlag...I swear by those homeopathic “No jet lag” pills. Dinner was... More
