Best Western Montecristo-Bastia

Comfortable beds, clean.

we had booked an apartment with 2 bedrooms- actually it was then only 1 bedroom and the other bed was in the living area. When we arrived the kitchen area was locked. I got the receptionist to open it up for us. But I had to pay an extra security deposit of € 700 (!!) That would really get deducted from my account although we had already left our credit card details in case of using the phone or minibar. Nothing of this was mentioned in the description of Booking.com. According to the description there should have been a washing machine, oven and electric kettle in the apartment, but wasn’t 🤔

A great Best Western hotel. Rooms are large and clean with nice facilities the breakfast is good and everything was enjoyable. I can't say anything stands out but it's a best Western and I enjoy that you know what you get.

Where is situated is a good thing and not so good. It's quite far from the center and when you want to get out you need to walk a little. The good thing is that it's right in the middle between the center and the mountain trails. We got some rainy days so we didn't enjoy quite so much the walks but I feel that if you get sun and warm weather you wouldn't mind the walks.

Room and bathroom was clean, modern and spacious. Bed was comfortable and staff were nice. Our room was on the ground floor but it was quiet and well hidden behind some bushes.

Location was about a 10 minute walk into city centre. Breakfast also quite pricey for what you get - there was not much variety and the hot food (bacon and scrambled eggs) were not replenished. We were also charged more than what we were told it cost (€13 instead of €11). Rooftop pool was also closed during our stay.

Our ocean-view-room was great, we had more than enough space in our room and we appreciated having the shower seperate from the restroom. It was always really clean. We loved the breakfast, especially the local food they had (for example meat and honey from Corsica). The staff at the reception was really friendly.

The hotel is close to the city center but be aware, you do have to walk up a little hill to get there (about 10min).

The room is spacious, clean and nice, very comfortable indeed. The staff was extremely kind and helpful, and we even got the possibility of leaving some of our luggage there for two weeks while hiking the GR20.

The position is a little bit outside of town, honestly it was quite a walk to get up there. The restaurant of the hotel is awful, avoid it at all costs. Expensive and low quality

A recommendable hotel for families who want to wait relaxed for their ferry. Secure parking in the underground garage, clean hallways and rooms, friendly staff. Located a bit higher, you have a great view over the city. On foot it is about 20 relaxed minutes into the city with all its restaurants, stores and the old town.

The only thing that struck us negatively was the poor quality of the croissants. For a hotel in France, even if it is a US chain, a no go. It was clearly of inferior quality, not fresh and crunchy, but rather rubbery.

The hotel looks good, rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff is very nice and willing to help you. Parking available, good breakfast, the restaurant/bar is nice.

Not that I didn’t like, but surely can be improved, the queues at the reception. There was always a line or the person was on the phone and even for simple things such as getting access to your car (the outdoor parking is locked with a chain) you will have to wait for a couple of minutes.

Loved the staff, the breakfast, and the room: the decor was minimal and super clean. Loved it. Didn't expect this from a BW. I'll return for sure.

Well, I didn't expect the walk up the hill! The taxi driver near the ferry misleadingly said it was a hundred meters away. Do take a taxi; don't try to push your luggage up that hill. But once there, we were happy.

All in all a nice place, with a really modern style. Our bathroom was superb, the kingsize bed was enormous and really comfy. Room was bigger than we thought. Enjoyed our short time (one night).

Parking was a little tricky but we found a slot around 100 meters from the hotel down the road (forgot to book a parking slot in advance). Since the hotel is on the hilly side of Bastia it's quite a way down into the city if you want to leave your car. Would still recommend doing so, since the parking situation in the city is rather bad. I think the hotel was understaffed, when they had trouble bringing out cups, cutlery, eggs etc when we had breakfast.

The room was clean and comfortable. It afforded an excellent view onto city of Bastia, the port and the sea. The breakfast was very good, whilst the staff were pleasant and friendly.

The restaurant only offered limited choices, which in themselves were not bad but somewhat unimaginative. I think the menu should be more ambitious.
