Hotel Palazzu Pozzo di Borgo

Staff were friendly but wouldn’t consider this a 4 star hotel - it’s 2.5 stars at best. We had a situation where we had to cancel our booking only 12hrs after booking but they refused and would rarely answer emails - understand that’s the policy, but there was no flexibility and very little communication. The rooms and amenities were very dated, all painted black (not very nice), didn’t feel clean and it felt stale. There is a beautiful cat that we enjoyed seeing and made our stay much better. Handy location if you want to see the old town - it’s right in the centre of it. The valet parking was handy at €48 per night.

Superb hotel, made special by the staff. The rooms are very spacious and the location is ideal. Highly recommended.

Comfortable and relaxing stay. We found their service to be helpful and welcoming. The breakfast and setting was delightful. Great location along a pedestrian street, with plenty of great restaurant options.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Location was perfect to explore the town as well as being in a very famous street where Napoleon was born. Information from the hotel regarding arriving with our car was easy to understand – unfortunately the gate into the pedestrian only street was not being supervised when we arrived, but the lovely receptionist from the hotel walked down to sort things out for us. Information on what to do & see as well as restaurant suggestions were also given.|The room was extremely comfortable & a great size, along with the bathroom. The only thing missing is a fridge, especially in this warm weather it would be great to be able to keep some drinks cold.|The valet service offered for the car was not cheap, but it was well worth it to be able to arrive at the hotel & have the car taken care of…..& then delivered next morning freshly hosed off & bottles of water inside the car – great service!|

Leesa greeted us professionally on arrival, and provided us with Room 208; one of the historic rooms on the hotel. This generously-sized room had windows/doors opening onto a wrap around balcony so we had east-west AND north-south views. |The bathroom also had doors that opened onto the balcony and all had outside shutters so the light an d privacy could be controlled. |The room was spotlessly clean, and peaceful, restful and quiet. The bed was comfy, as were the pillows, and the linens were of good quality and expertly laundered. |Parking is right on the street, and we had little trouble finding a spot within 50 feet of the door. That said, Leesa said I was lucky to find it. |All in all this hotel provided an excellent value and the staff could not have been nicer. |The area is great for walking so one we parked the car, we didn’t use it again u til we departed the hotel. |There are many attractions bars, restaurants, shops and services within steps of the front door. There is even a proper barber on the same street, and I noticed a place for laundry on our sojourns. |The area felt very safe and was well-lit in the evening. |Two minimal disappointments and in fairness we didn’t discover them until it was too late to call the desk; |-the heated towel rack in our room did not work, so a sink full of laundry didn’t dry overnight. It did dry on the east-west part of the balcony after the sun came up. |- a lack of luggage racks in the room. One suit case went on the desk and the others were just on the floor. |The wonderful and efficient Leesa also recommended and booked a table for us at Marinette, where we were treated to an excellent meal, prepared by the namesake’s grandson. |Leesa also recommended an excellent knitwear designer’s clothing shop across the street, called Nine (pronounced Neene)

I'm a travel agent and explored Corsica for a week. Hotel Pozzo di Borgo is in a great location in the middle of the attractions, restaurants, and shopping. Best customer service from check-in to check-out. Bathrooms can use a bit of updating, but I had no complaints and the room was comfortable. I highly recommend this property for your stay in Ajaccio.

Great location in the center of Ajaccio, directly opposite maison Bonaparte. The room was big and clean, the bathroom was also spotless and large. Front desk staff was helpful and nice. Would come back.

Would not choose it again! We stayed fortunately only two nights, that was okay. Plus: The location is great, the bed was comfortable, cleaning staff and reception friendly. As a hotel it does its purpose. You have a place to sleep. For me negativ: you don’t want to stay longer as necessary in the room / hotel. Not cosy and comfortable at all. The atmosphere is cold and empty. No nice materials or details which makes you feel welcome as guest. For ex: main door is super heavy to open, no one helps, I saw some elderly people also complained about it. The table in our room was in some parts broken, also the closet. Brown walls and black furniture > no decoration to light it up, no cups in the bathroom for toothbrush, no hand soap, no welcome card, no minibar > 1 small water bottle on the table for two people and was not fresh, no refill, the city beach has no natural shadow and the hotel offers 2 parasol for all the guests … you can imagine how often we could go to the beach. No books / magazines to read … We were in 5 hotels on our tour on Corsica, this hotel standard is far away from the other 4 star hotels we have visited but the price is as high as the others.
