Hotels in der Nähe von Camping Barbicaja - Camping di Barbicaghja, Ajaccio

Wir haben im Rahmen einer Korsika-Tour zweimal hier übernachtet. Das Zimmer war modern eingerichtet und bequem. Das Frühstück in Buffett-Form mit korsischen Spezialitäten angereichert. Der Empfang war freundlich und professionell, eine Konversation auf Deutsch sehr gut möglich. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis war in Ordnung, wir kommen gerne wieder.

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.

We stayed here a week during the second half of a holiday in Corsica. Ajaccio is a good base for visiting parts of Corse-du-Sud. The location isn't in the nicest part of town and there is quite a long walk to get to the lively part where the better restaurants and nicer sea views are to be found. The best aspects of this hotel are the room, which was huge with spare beds and plenty of storage. Toiletries are as basic as can be [plastics policy], and we had to scout around for coat hangers. The bed was very good. Parking is free and convenient and there are always spaces in the car park. This is a chain, and as such you get a chain style buffet breakfast. The same wide choice of mediocre items every day with no variation. Coffee from a machine which was below par - if you want decent coffee you have to pay at the bar (we did) which felt like bad value. Having to use a tray for breakfast creates a slight prison-like atmosphere. Staff are always on hand and friendly enough. Some a little more clued in than others it's fair to say. Overall a good choice and reasonable value.

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.

Eigentlich ein tolles Hotel, aber definitiv nicht auf einem 5 Sterne Niveau! Da ist noch viel nachzuholen. Der Preis passt gar nicht zu dem Standard und auch nicht zu einem Sofitel Standard, wie man es von dem Rest der Hotels kennt! Als aller erstes wird überhaupt nicht erwähnt, das in der Bucht ein Flughafen ist, bei dem Linienflugzeuge die ganze Nacht durch landen... extrem laut! Die Bäder sind eine Katastrophe, die Fliesen bröckeln von der Wand, vermutlich stammen die Bäder aus den 80iger Jahren. Das Hotel und die Zimmer brauchen liebe und ein Management was einen Blick für Details und das Wesentliche hat! Was in jedem Fall beeindruckend ist, ist der View aus dem Zimmer. Fantastische Lage mit einem kleinen Privatstrand und einem tollen außen Bereichen!

Great hotel only a 5 min walk from a big sandy beach and dozens of good restaurants, boulangerie and a supermarket. The rooms are spacious and set up for self catering so there's only breakfast provided on site. There's a kitchenette in the rooms and they're a very decent size. The pool is huge by hotel standards and satisfyingly deep for a proper swim. Also a poolside bar. Seemed plenty of sun beds and the hotel staff were really helpful around my poor French. The corridors are wide and spacious unlike alot of hotels I've stayed in, and a good size bar area. Will definitely come back here next time I'm back in Porticcio
