Hotel San Carlu Citadel

Had a great stay here. Perfect location next to the citadel to explore the old town. Parking can be a challenge but we reserved a spot out front of the hotel for €25 per night. The bed was amazingly comfortable, easily the best bed we had during our time in Corsica. Shower was also delightful. One downside was that it could occasionally be a little noisy from outside or from in the corridor but it didn’t impact us too much. The rooms were also rather small, it was hard to open up a large suitcase. Regardless we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again on another trip to Ajaccio.

Outstanding Ajaccio hotel with an unbeatable location, charming character, plush comfort, and top-notch customer support, on par with other greats I’ve experienced (HK Peninsula, Brussels Hotel Metropole, Sydney Four Seasons, …). Kudos to the front desk staff, especially Oriane, who were extraordinarily rapid and responsive to the numerous questions I posed prior to and during my stay. You MUST have at least one visit to the top floor bar/restaurant, Carl’s, for spectacular views, yummy gnocchi, lobster rolls and the chef’s Caesar salad, all delivered with warm hospitality and enthusiastic service.

They don’t have parking places and recommended the alternative parking lot and the street, but all are full of parked cars. It took 45 minutes and look to find a 2 km fare away place. It would be a good service, if they make reservations for their guests, but they don’t. They should no longer offer the hotel to people arriving by car. The hotel is not recommended for people traveling by car. The breakfast is great and the roof top bar is good.

This modern hotel has an excellent location near the Citadel in Ajaccio|Pros|Clean and modern rooms and bathrooms |Windows do open |Very helpful concierge desk|Okay breakfast on an attractive terrace overlooking the city|Cons|Getting in the hotel requires hauling your luggage over a flight of stairs |I requested a quiet room and got one in the back of the hotel with a small window opening on a narrow back alley.|I assumed it would be quiet, actually on my second night it was not, revelers late at night and workers early in the morning.

We’ve visited Corsica many times and for our return to Ajaccio we wanted somewhere near the Citadelle with sea view. San Carlu certainly delivers on that. The views are spectacular, particularly from the breakfast room/bar and roof terrace. This (almost) justifies the pricey rates. Our room was pretty small however, with nowhere much to unpack. The open rail for clothes hangers had a surprisingly budget feel. The bathroom was great though, and almost as big as the bedroom. Breakfast was decent enough but unremarkable considering the price. Reception staff were charming, helpful and spoke good English. Overall, expensive but probably the best in the city

Drinking water to be provided to rooms only once in three days but we can buy water from hotel at 6 euros each bottle

Great hotel in fantastic location, in the hub of the city. The rooftop bar has the most incredible panoramic views, definitely worth a visit! (Only comment would be that you aren’t able to purchase a cocktail until after 6pm, which seems odd to me). The rooms are modern and comfortable. They’re a little on the small side, but to be expected in a city. The staff are friendly and helpful. Perfect for a stay in Ajaccio.

The hotel is perfectly situated. It is close to the centre and the restaurants but in the same time very quiet. You reach a beautiful beach in 2 minutes on foot. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are very tasteful and clean. I would go there anytime again
