Hotel Central Bastia

There is a beautiful artist's studio on the ground floor. There is also a lovely little garden on the 2nd floor. The food in Bastia is beautiful, as is the historical city and harbour.

Where do I start. There is no lift. There is no water, coffee or tea making facility either in the room or anywhere else in the hotel. You have to pay for a cup of coffee or tea. The toilet is right by the bed so please make sure your partner is prepared to be very close to you- sounds, smells and sights are all right there. To top it off the bathroom door does not close. The bathroom smells badly, and the shower is designed for very, very small people. Lastly, but definitely not least, the room is extremely unclean. We both ended up scratching, and my legs now have an outbreak of bites, which must have come from either fleas, or bed bugs. We are still on our holiday, but spent yesterday washing everything we had at the Hotel Central Bastia in hot water, including ourselves. We came all the way from New Zealand and were really looking forward to our time in Bastia. In the words of Jesus of Nazareth, "shake the dust from your feet".

good location, friendly, helpful staff, imaginative garden

would have been worth paying more for a better room

The position is in center of town, very good

Air conditioner was really too noisy, impossible to use it, room very little and old with really umcofortable bathroom

Small, cute, friendly hotel with no lift. Central and only street parking. Nice breakfast.

Traditional style town hotel close to Bastia's main square and old port. Comfortable enough room and reasonably well-equipped for a short stay. Helpful staff.

Noise from traffic - a disadvantage of being in the centre of town. The room might be a bit cramped for a couple for more than a weekend stay.

Very helpful staff and a sense of welcome. Free Internet access
