Holzer II

We had a pleasant stay at this hotel. It was conveniently located off the highway and there was off street parking. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. Our room was nicely decorated but extremely small. It was at the back of the property and we had to cross a small landing to another building to access it. The bathroom was modern and a good size. There was no onsite eating options.

The location is perfect: you are two minutes away from all the night action but this part of the street is in a relative calm, they have a huge public parking lot 100 m away, and they have their own parking lot. The room was comfortable, and very clean, probably a little tight but as expected. The staff is very friendly, and their breakfast is pretty good. When we como back to Porto Vecchio this will be our option.

Having checked-in to the property, paid the property tax, paid for breakfast the next day, I was subsequently informed that as I’d undertaken some trekking on the island of Corsica, I could not take my bag to my room due to the “risk of it being infected with bed bugs”. I was told I could only take a very small plastic bag of clothes and the rest of my luggage would need to remain downstairs next to reception in a tiny room where the left-luggage was. Not only was this completely impractical (I was leaving early the next day after 3-weeks on the island and needed to carefully pack my bags ready for multiple flights early the next morning), but it was also actually unfair of the hotel to only inform me about this “restriction” after I’d checked in. I voiced my dissatisfaction with the situation to the hotel manager and he offered to cancel the entire booking without charge. I then went to stay down the road at the Tilbury Hotel where no such restrictions existed. In fact, no such restrictions existed anywhere else on the island during my 3-week stay despite the owner trying to claim it was “standard policy”. Imagine my surprise when the hotel then fully charged me! I’ve since contacted them on numerous occasions to demand a full refund and thus far they’ve only offered 50%. This, of course, is completely unacceptable as I shouldn’t have been charged in the first place. They're now ignoring all my messages asking them to explain their actions.

This is a very el located hotel. It has an elevator which is very convinient.
