Hôtel Spa Le Genovese

A nice looking hotel in good location but one to avoid. We arrived for a two night stay with our children before getting the ferry to Sardinia and were told hotel guests could not use the pool, bar area or restaurant after midday on the one day we were there due to a wedding. We were not told about this in advance and when we raised it with the manager she could not have been less interested and was just so rude to us (similar to other recent reviews it seems). The receptionist Gaelle was very nice though and perhaps could teach the manager about customer service. The hotel/manager has clearly chosen to take the money from a large wedding while also having full paying guests who were left feeling like they’re in the way and hiding in our rooms. We were glad to leave to go to a hotel that actually makes you feel welcome. The other hotels we’ve stayed at in Corsica have had excellent service. Another point to note is there is a very noisy (but fun sounding bar) right opposite the hotel that plays loud music until 2am. So if you want peace and quiet this is probably not the hotel for you.

The hotel is just above the historic district and had some great views of the bay and the city. Adequate but not a great breakfast. This was a very nice hotel.

DO NOT STAY in the annex near the port attached to this hotel. The room is directly beside a bar which plays live music until approximately 11:30 pm. Following that there is amplified music and huge crowds shouting and roaring until 2.00am. It is absolutely impossible to sleep with this incredible noise At around 11 pm, I rang the main reception in the hotel and spoke to the manager WHO REFUSED TO GIVE ME HIS NAME!!! He expressed surprise that there was noise outside our room and asked us if we had not closed the windows!! Having spoken to members of his own staff the next day and indeed to others in the area it is clear that everyone knows that the noise in that particular part of the port at this time of the year is unbearable if you intend to sleep. We refused to stay the following night. The manager “Mr X” met us in the morning and refused point blank to give us any reduction whatsoever in respect of our €550 room charge notwithstanding the fact that he accepted that we only got approximately FOUR HOURS sleep. The best he could offer was a free breakfast which really wasn’t worth anything like the quoted €50. My strong advice - if you would like to enjoy the wonders of Bonifácio is to stay in the Version Maquis Hotel which is well away from the noise and they provide a splendid shuttle in and out of town any time you wish. I’m attaching some video which gives some impression of the racket we had to put up with. Apparently this noise comes as a complete surprise to the manager, Mr. X!

Nice location in the heart of Bonifacio’s port district. Tower rooms in the annex are well-sized with private terraces.

We had a spectacular luxury suite in the annex building on the harbor. We drove to the main building to check in and then followed a lead vehicle to the annex. We had our own private parking spot. Our suite was up a few flights of stairs and had two small terraces with terrific views of the harbor. The room was spacious and spotless. The location was perfect for walking along the harbor with many shops and restaurants and easy access to the stairway up to the citadel. I cannot think of a better place to stay in Bonifacio!

This time we stayed at the family apartment that the hotel has by the marina. It’s quite cute, right next to the luxury yachts moored in Bonifacio. You can however spend the whole day by the hotel pool if you like, or enjoy the hotel spa that also has an indoor swimming pool and a sauna. There’s massage, reflexology, manicure, pedicure. The staff overall were very kind and friendly. If you’re staying at the family apartment, you can also request room service and have the breakfast in the room (to avoid driving/hiking up the hill). I didn’t visit, but I did see an amazing bakery a few doors down, as well as a superb fruit and veg shop, as an alternative.

Very nice hotel and spa. My wife and I came to Corsica for the day originally and decided to stay because it was amazing! I was surprised they offered a 1 night option and was pleasantly surprised they could accommodate a same day reservation (although we did visit out of season). This hotel is not a cheap option but if your budget allows it’s a great option - offering great quality rooms and service as well as spa/pool access in a really great location.

Beautiful hotel in the old city. The rooms were large enough, and efficiently laid out with much storage. The sauna, hammam, and pool were truly lovely. A perfect stay in the old city, not to be missed. Dinner and breakfast were likewise excellent. We also want to call out our night watchman Andre, who graciously made us coffee and snacks for a 5:30am departure on our last day.
