Best Western Plus Ajaccio Amiraute

Lovely staff at Reception booked us into our apartment soon after early arrival on learning we had been travelling since very early morning. They were helpful and pleasant throughout our stay. The apartment was spotlessly clean, very well appointed and larger than expected. We had a good sized living room with TV, settees etc. balcony with furniture and lovely views of the bay, kitchen with dishwasher, coffee machine, kettle, convection microwave oven, and hob. Plenty of crockery and utensils though small vegetable knife would have been useful, as would pepper and salt to save buying large packs in the supermarket nearby. There was a small welcome pack of washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets, and a bottle of water provided. The bathroom was well planned with a bath and powerful shower. Both bedrooms were a good size. Plenty of parking at hotel. The distance from the old town is a disadvantage, but the buses seem to run about every half hour in daytime. Driving and parking in Ajaccio is almost impossible - roads are very congested, traffic fumes are a real problem and all car parks and pavement spaces are full all day. We parked on the front beyond the old town and walked back. We ate at the Courtepaille restaurant twice, and apart from a poor steak food was reasonably good. The fixed price menus were good value. Staff are pleasant and friendly. Eating out generally is not cheap in Ajaccio. Visit the Isles Sanguinaires, Napoleon's house, Palais Fesch, and take the train to Corte - the town is touristy but the views from the train are not to be missed. The mountain drive to Tolla is worth doing, and the lake is beautiful, with a nice cafe. Weather in mid May was not really warm enough to use pool or jacuzzi. less

Stayed there 3 days, and had chosen the place because they had a swimming pool & jacuzzi The pool is nice, but the jacuzzi (etc.) is very little and packed with kids (although not supposed to be there...). Overall, the hotel is fit for purpose, and the breakfast is really nice. Service is good. Being an international traveller, it is not really to be considered as a 4 star hotel, but still, it's a nice place without any wow factor. The real downside was it's location which was far away from the city (30mn walk) and the public transport stops quite early in the evening (so dining out is ok, if walking is not an issue). less

The apt was big enough to host 6 pers. Clean and well equiped, nice terrace. The location is quite far away from the centre town and the beach but if you have a car is ok. The pool is also nice so except the price, wich is very high in august (like everywhere), everything was ok. less

we had an apartment, two bedrooms, large balcony, two bathrooms, kitchen and living room. all perfect . the cleanliness was very good and the desighn good for our size of family. couple with 3 douthers age 12-21-31. less

Stayed 4 days at the Best Western in Ajaccio.We were in room 417 with a good view of the sea promenade. Clean room and decent size shower. Convenient location,Bus stop (Line 1 takes you to town/port) just outside on the left . 1 euro for a ride or buy a booklet of 10 tickets for 8 euros. However it is not a beach property only a sea view one.Closest beach would be plage campo towards the airport or plage st francois near the citadel. 15 min drive away from the airport, Taxi ride would cost 20 euros during the day. Breakfast was OK. Nothing special for 12 euros.The express breakfast(5 euros) early and late mornings is a good concept and value for money too. Restaurant on site is very pleasant.Good food and fair service.It is a convenient visit when you do not want to venture out in the hot afternoons. Hotel swimming pool is a plus. Reception extremely helpful and speak very good english. They are very patient with instructions and suggesstions for trips etc.Thank you. All in all a good short stay. less
