Hotels near Tour de la Parata, Ajaccio

We had a lovely one week stay at this hotel. It's rare that a hotel fully meets expectations, and on this occasion it did. We did opt for a superior room, and in my opinion it was worth it. Breakfast was good, pleny of choice. The bar was handy for returning late. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and you don't really need to go into Ajaccio centre to eat. If you head towards Ajaccio there are some good (but pricey) places. If you head in the other direction (towards the Iles) then there are a few more places that are not so expensive but they are offset from the coastal road. In the hotel the shower worked well, always giving hot water. The air con was good, sometimes we had to turn it off as it got a bit too much but very effective. Staff were friendly and the place had a really relaxing feel to it. We hired a car, and to be honest unless you want the stress of driving through Ajaccio and go out far, you don't really need one. There is parking at the rear and some street, although the street is exposed. The hotel is more like a 4-star, and we had nothing to complain about. Corsica is not cheap so I was glad to have chosed this as it turned out to be a really good choice. Oh and the ice cream was really good at the hotel bar.

Even if the hotel is a little old, the staff is really pleasant. Good litter, quiet and well placed. A problem with the TV orders but it was offset by the welcome with a free coffee / growing in the morning of departure, sympathetic ☺️

Stayed one night. Conveniently located and reasonably quiet. The room was located on the second floor, but after getting off the elevator one had to walk down seven steps on a narrow winding staircase - very inconvenient with luggage. The room was very small but clean and nicely decorated. No electric kettle. Comfortable bed and pillows. Small desk area with enough power outlets. Bathroom with very small shower cabin. Good water pressure but absolutely zero shelf space in the shower - had to put toiletries, comb, etc on the floor. The shower floor was also quite slippery. Decent wifi. Breakfast with reasonable selection.

First of all and without much ado: I really have to issue a warning here. This hotel is an absolute disgrace. Nothing that is promised on the website is even close to being true. I booked this hotel for one night and - frankly - was surprised that the price had been reduced from supposedly over 100€ to under 70€ - but I put this down to the off-season. The check in. Coming from the airport, I wanted to check in 1 hour earlier than planned (to which, according to ******* as a gold member, I’m entitled to and this was advertised by the hotel, as well). The receptionist turned this down so I had to contact her manager. After a while, she came out of her office, deranged and obviously drunk, and slurred something about ”impossible behavior”. She was probably uncomfortable with her condition, as she could barely speak a sentence, because she gave me the key to my room and pointed out that the much-praised rooftop was closed due to a drainage problem and that I could ‚enjoy the beautiful sides of the city outside‘. The rooftop was one of the main reasons for me to choose this hotel. The room. I wasn't expecting much and didn't plan to stay in the room for long due to the good weather. What was important to me was the rooftop. When I entered the room, the blow hit me. The room was so small that I could hardly turn around. It smelled like mold. The guest's long hair was in front of me (or the cleaning staff?) on the bed, but I also found it in the shower. The ”view” from the tiny window shows the view of a dark courtyard from which there is a terrible smell of cigarette smoke. Uninsulated electric cables protrude from the ceiling. It was a nightmare. I took my stuff and went back to reception - I couldn't stay here. Waiting for the elevator, I heard loud and prolonged unambiguous moans across the hall - I've rarely been so ashamed of others. In short - there is nothing left of the ”gloss” of the ratings. Based on my experiences, this hotel can only be described as a hot sheet hotel (no-tell hotel). The manager was outrageous and her employee no less rude, but at least she wasn't drunk in broad daylight. Both of them steadfastly refused to refund me the amount paid. I will have to contact ******* over this. Clear negative recommendation from my travel experience in 2022. I strongly advise against a visit if style, ambience and health are important to you.

I loved the hotel , beautiful area front of the daily fresh food market, where you can get any things you like from food to clothes, very beautiful view in front of port, you will never get board of watching the sunset or sunrise from your room. Great staff members each one of them is wonderful always welcoming smiling and very patient, Hugo. Sasha, Clarice and Kwter the chamber cleaning lady she is very honest and clean. Also I would say special thank you for Arnaud he is the most patient and polite person I have ever met, the first day I was tired and frustrated from my trip, but he welcomed me and helped me in every way he could. The supervisor very sweet, kind and big smile at all the time. You won’t regret to stay there. I stayed 20 nights. I will definitely come back. Thank you all for the pleasure experience.

We booked a room with 3 beds, room was modern and clean, bathroom had heated towel racks, each bed had plug ins for USB port. We didn‘t have breakfast because our train left very early but it looked fantastic, better than anything seen so far on the island. Monsieur Pablo at the reception was incredible helpful and able to answer all our needs! Thank You!

The Mercure hotel has a great location. It is 10 min drive from Ajaccio Airport. It has a 24×7 store (Proxi), petrol station, eateries (breakfast, Crêpes, pizzas) right next to it. The parking in the hotel is chargeable (12 eur per night). The receptionists are very cordial, they provide all the info and extend every possible help. The rooms are clean and have enough room for 2 adults and 2 kids. Kids slept on a sofa bed and it was already set-up and was comfy. The bathroom has shower, hand shower and the toilet has a water jet (first time I saw one in Europe). The pool is small but you can spend an evening sitting around it. The only thing that doesn't work but that's true for all of Ajaccio (nothing to do with Mercure) is that you will need to drive 2-3 hours to get to interesting sights in Corsica. Piana Calanques are ~2hrs away, Calvi is ~2.5 hrs away, Polambaggia beach is ~3 hrs away and Bonifacio again ~3 hrs away.

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.

The environment is good. Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good. The environment is good. Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good.
