Hôtel Des Gouverneurs

Location is beautiful, views are breathtaking. Lots of restaurants nearby, and the lift to the promenade is super convenient. Rooms are very spacious and bathrooms also very generously proportioned. We loved our set of rooms. They were beautiful. Loved the little touches in the bathrooms and it was a lovely place to return to everyday in the evenings. Citadelle parking is a very short walk away and hence logistically it was very convenient.

It is a bit of a walk from the closest car drop off points and nobody helps with luggage. Our rooms had a very convenient small gate next to it, which apparently due to an internal miscommunication was left open. We hence used that gate to step out a few times. For security reasons this gate was locked a few days into our stay and the bespectacled lady who communicated this to us was unpleasant to the point of rude. Totally understandable to want to close the gate, just manner of communication was off. She always seemed very cheerful and smiley with other guests, just not us. The other staff was wonderful and warm. There was a mixup with our car pickup organised by the hotel on the day we were leaving and it was a bit stressful since it was raining, but we made it to the airport in time.

Check in staff were very warm and welcoming; full of smiles! We required assistance with parking which was supported easily. The hotel is in the citadel and the views were fantastic! The hotel is a boutique experience and I found the services very upmarket; the bar was well stocked for cocktails and the breakfast smelt amazing! (We had an early ferry to catch so did't get a chance to enjoy!) The hotel is walking distance to many restaurants and bars including a short walk into the harbour - a perfect location to base from to discover the city. The parking is a short distance away and the hotel has a preferential rate.

Nothing; it was a great experience!

A fantastic view, newly renovated hotel, nice room with a comfortable bed. SPA is free and we enjoyed sauna and little pool. We were staying in the top floor room and we had one of the most fascinating views including the sun rise in the morning. The bathroom is big and a direct view to the sea. To the city centre it is about 7-10min walk and to the mini beach it is about 10min walk. Surrounding is beautiful and covered with lots of restaurants. 5min walk to a mini supermarket and a pastry caffe while Pizzeria takeaway is 7-8min walk further down on the road.

It would have been great if they had a gym. But we used to run just outside by the beach and was beautiful in the morning.

We spent few nights at the hotel as a part of our honeymoon. The hotel was everything we had hoped for. Our bedroom was large and had an amazing view over the city and the harbour. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was great. The staff were super friendly and helpful. There are nice restaurants close by, but we also really liked to grab a drink at the terrace of the hotel to enjoy the view. I would stay here again!

If I had to think of anything I didn't like, I would maybe say that the pool has seen better days.

The staff are extremely professional, welcoming and friendly. They were even able to decipher my rudimentary French, which takes some skill! The hotel is classy, without being pretentious. The rooms are extremely comfortable, the location perfect, and the views stunning. You couldn't ask for a better location for a stay in Bastia, being close enough to easily access some great restaurants, but distant enough to avoid the clamour of the harbourfront. All-in-all, a perfect stay!

The floor in our room was a bit uneven and indented, which really should be having the carpet lifted and surface remediated. Not a big issue, but one that you don't expect in a hotel of this quality. Also, and again minor, after travelling for weeks the provision of a retractable drying line installed in the bathroom would have been welcome. Be aware too that parking is not available. There is however an excellent public carpark about 200 metres away, which made it fairly easy to transport our luggage from and to, and the carpark is modestly priced at €12.80/day.

Beautiful view with terrasse. The room was lovely. A pool was available, great for pre-season visit. The staff were great. Breakfast had more options than I've ever seen! I would definitely return here. It is located in the heart of the citadel, so you need to be able to use steps to get to it. There is an elevator that goes from the port to the citadel, but there are still a few steps involved.

The staff were super friendly and welcoming. They even gave us a late check-out and allowed us to stay in the hotel lounge area afterwards because our plane was much later. We specifically requested a corner room (balcony and windows on two sides), and they honored this request. The room was great and relatively spacious. It had a large desk and a very comfortable bed. The public facilities, including lounge area, tables, pool, sauna, were extensive. The bathroom was also spacious, with a good shower.

The location was exceptional. The dining terrace had wonderful views. The staff were highly professional and warm. Food excellent.

Noise from rock moving works opposite so couldn't sit out on balcony so I think we should not have been charged for a balcony room. The room was nice but needed more furniture especially in the bathroom.

Great location with sea view. There was an elevator or stairs to go down to the sea. Many nice restaurants within walking distance. The hotel staff could not have been more friendly and helpful --- we will certainly return. The breakfast was excellent.

Our hotel room number 15 had an old carpet that was stained although clean and there were parts of the floor that were uneven. Understandably it's an old building that eventually will need some renovation.

The hotel's interior space and decor: well-designed, comfortable. I'm super cautious about hotel cleanliness and appearance: no complaints about any part of the spacious bathroom or sleeping room. I'd stay again.

Well, finding the hotel was a puzzle; the walk from parking to the hotel with suitcases was not easy.
