Corsica Hotels

The Hotel Kalliste wanted another £114 to give us a sea view. We are SO glad that we did not pay it. They put us in a room facing east (room 5), with a balcony and a wonderful view of the mountains, Most rooms face west of south, the sea view comes with full-on sun, at its hottest. After the hotel manager agreed that we did not have proper internet coverage they offered us a room in the sun for free, no thanks. We could still access the internet from Reception. If you stay in Porto and you do not come with pots on cash, you will want to include an element of self-catering. Breakfast is available at Hotel Kalliste for 9 euros, or slightly less in Porto. A very poor supper in Porto cost us 42.50 euros. There is a Spar supermarket in town (on the main road) selling food at British prices, more or less, so why not have a packed breakfast and lunch in the Marquis? There is no kettle in the room so we bought one in Corte for 10 euros, so we could have a cup of tea when we wanted. The management kindly lent us mugs. The room was clean, with a plentiful supply of towels. The swimming pool is very clean and you can use hotel towels there. The balcony includes a table and chairs and we spent most evenings there. Perhaps the worst down-side for Hotel Kalliste is the lack of parking space. The main car park is full by about 4pm and the overflow car park about two hours later. At that point, small cars can park on the access road or in Porto, where charges apply

It was much betterr than expected, after reading other reviews. The setting was amazing. It was very relaxing and away from everything. The bees were oh so comfortable

We loved this place even with the lack of reliable in-room wifi. Staff was very nice!

This is a clean yet basic hotel with the price being right. Convenient to Corsica Ferries.

This hotel is worth a lot more ton 2 stars!! Rooms are all new and very confortable.

Very well situated - pleasant and efficient staff - comfortable and quiet room - 24 hour snacks and drinks at very fair prices - secure garage parking at a fair price. I have no complaints and would stay here again without hesitation.

The hotel looks a bit soviet style in the hall, and in the corridors, but rooms are nice clean and large. I had a room with view - worth the price, street was not so noisy, location is perfect and room had nice tiles on the floor. Beautiful terrace on the top, I did not try the resto there but the view is amazing. No parking available. Tip: after unloading lagguage, continue by car up to the end of the road in the square below the citadel, do not park there (15 euro per day) but take the first on your right, there's a parking at 3 euro per day, cheap and convenient. Only 5 minutes from the hotel.

The personnal was friendly and gave a bood resto advise (Resto Pizzeta in the Square dowtown). It is 10 minutes walking distance from the Citadelle. Spacious and a good view of the old town of Calvi
