The service was really impeccable during our visit. We highly recommend this well-located hotel, close to all amenities and within walking distance of the old town.

The room
Our room was spacious, really modern and comfortable. The royal blue, wood and white colors and patterns added a touch of elegance that we really appreciated.
The room was equipped and furnished with a large, soft bed that was hard to get out of in the morning, a mirrored wardrobe, a flat-screen TV, a desk and a private bathroom with shower.
The owners really wanted to combine practicality with modernity in the furniture they chose. The wooden desk was set up so that we could work if we needed to, or sit at a table with 2 leather chairs.
We even had a microwave! Very practical for eating on the go between 2 visits if you don’t have time to sit down at the restaurant.
The view from our room behind the railing and French windows was breathtaking. In the foreground, tall trees and the hotel garden added a touch of greenery to the landscape. In the background, we had a view of Bastia, its colorful houses and harbor contrasting with the blue expanse of the sea in the distance.

The bathroom
Head for our private bathroom in beige and dark brown tones. This room featured a walk-in shower, a new washbasin and a number of drawers for storing items and clean towels.
Adonis Hotels & Residences brand skincare products were provided on arrival, along with carefully rolled-up towels.
The toilet was separate from the bathroom, which can come in handy if there are several of you sharing a room or apartment!

The breakfast
The hotel’s breakfast buffet is served every morning. It’s worth mentioning that the establishment applies a different rate for children and adults to benefit from this service, which is a rather good initiative. We appreciated the choice of products on display, whether sweet (cakes, cereals, fruit, etc.) or savory (eggs, bacon, cheese, etc.). You can choose to enjoy your meal indoors or on the terrace, with its panoramic views over Bastia and the surrounding area.
You’ll also have a wide choice of hot and cold drinks, and plenty of food to keep you going before you set off to visit Bastia, a true pearl of the Mediterranean!

THE SAME MISTAKE WE MADE
On one of our last trips to Europe, a hacker stole our credit card details while we were using a hotel WiFi.
So our trip began with a “card blocked” call… Not funny at all!
