Porto Vecchio hotels

I will be arriving in Porto Vecchio by bus on September 8th and would like a recommendation for a nice hotel within walking distance of the bus since, the next morning, I have to take a bus again to Bastia. Any ideas would be appreciated.

The two hotels closest to the Marine (which is where the buses leave from, I believe) would be Hôtel le Goéland and Hôtel Shegara. Both have websites, just google them.

I%26#39;m now wondering whether the %26quot;Parking Ste Catherine%26quot;, which is where the Bastia bus leaves from, isn%26#39;t the car park by the cemetery in which case it%26#39;s quite a way from any hotel. The Hôtel Holzer would be the closest and at least it%26#39;s also close to the town centre.

Do not go to the Shegara hotel. It%26#39;s is really noisy. it%26#39;s located directly on a busy road.

People are unfriendly and they do not know the meaning of hospitality.

We had a suite of Euro 400 a night with two rooms. Airco was not working while it was a 30 degrees Celsius. No compensation whatsoever and no way we could speak to management. It%26#39;s a tourist trap hotel. Mainly all customers are passing by by travellers who ned a quick hotel.

do not go there to enjoy your holiday!!!

People are rude.

I am so sorry you had such a bad experience at hotel Shegara. I actually stayed there for one night last summer and I had the complete opposite experience. The staff couldn%26#39;t have been more helpful, my room was lovely and quiet, the restaurant served wonderful food and the waiter in the restaurant helped me also with all sorts of travel-related questions. All of that plus a great location across from the water and easy walk into town made it a place I would definitely return to when I go back to Corsica.

Hi,

Ok, thats good to hear. We just went and had a very bad experience especially due to the staff.

They serve you a non functioning room (no airco) and just offer you some free drinks for keeping us waiting to enter the room (4 hours) adn see that as the entire compensation for having to sleep in a non airco room (Euro 400 a night). When we then ask kindly for a reasonable compensation we are being told that the Management for Shegara is too busy to come to the desk themself and use their desk employees to let us know thats all they feel obliged to to offer us. Some free drinks to keep us waiting for 4 hours. even while the airco wasn%26#39;t even fixed after that.

Besides that, and of course we had a negative connotation already it is located at a very busy street with a lot of noise. Which with open windows (due to the airco) is impossible to sleep with.

Any way. we had a bad experience which could have been solved by the management by acting professional and just have a quick chat with an unsatisfid customer instead of leeting the desk employees telling the bad news and being inflexible while paying Euro 400 per night.
