We loved the location, right in the center of the old town and close to beaches and historic sights. The staff were very helpful, especially Maria, who was there when we checked in, and helped us every way she could. The view from our room was great, and there were lots of restaurant options nearby.

Maintenance at this hotel seemed to be poor. One of the outlets by the bed didn't work, causing our computer not to get charged when it should have. Also, a light fixture over the sink was not working. (You'd think they would have noticed on their own!) The safe had an unusual design, and there were no instructions. The breakfast seemed minimal, and was not worth the cost (but there was a great breakfast place just down the street).

Hotel Balanea is a lovely, central located hotel right on the marina. The bars, restaurants and shops are right on the hotel's doorstep so you have everything close by. You are only a 5 minute walkaway from the train station - perfect if you don't have a car with you. The hotel owner is lovely and gave us a free upgrade - so our room was large, beautifully decorated & had a balcony overlooking the marina. We had enough space for 2 people with 2 suitcases, there was enough storage space for our clothes too. All the people working at the hotel are really lovely, friendly, kind and helpful. We were sad to say goodbye. Hopefully we will meet again in the future.

No comment - everything was good.

We were especially delighted with the staff…the concierge Maria was extremely helpful in assisting us with locating parking nearby and plans for our travel next day. We liked everything about the hotel. Amazing view of the marina from the dining room! Fantastic location on the main center where restaurants and shops were prevalent.

We were in the room by the elevator and some guests were not considerate of the time.

Clean and stylish and comfortable

Nothing, but it would be nice to know ahead that the hotel is located in a pedestrian zone that cars can’t get to. And also given address or location ahead of arrival for parking.

Wow...what a great little hotel! I found everything very nice... clean, tastefully decorated. The views from my room, and location of the hotel were fantastic. The biggest standout however, was Maria, the front desk clerk while I was there. She was super friendly, soooooo soooo helpful, and just could not have done more. She made a very good stay into a superb experience. I'll happily recommend.

Location, near to EVERYTHING. THE HELPFUL STAFF, the room with little balcony was enjoyable watching the activities.

It gets loud late into the night, ear plugs can help. The A/C was only a fan not fully operational so we opened the balcony door for cool air & got MOSQUITOES bites!

A small hotel with sparkling facilities in the heart of Calvi. Reception staff were always present and helpful. The room was compact and well presented. Despite not having a ‘front’ room I had views across the bay, mountains & half of Calvi.

Some late night noise from the bar across the narrow street.

The location is excellent and breakfast was really good and diverse compare to other hotels we have stayed in on Corsica

There is a loud bar next to the hotel in the harbor that plays really loud music long after midnight. Need more hooks in bathroom and bedroom so you can hang up your clothes and towels. Something to dry wet swimwear and beach towels on would be good.

Great location right in the center of Calvi, fantastic view of the bay and the mountains from the balcony in our room and from the terrace in the breakfast area. We booked a standard room, but Ariane who works at the front desk gave us a free upgrade to the room with the balcony and sea view. She was very nice, helpful and speaks fluent English. Good breakfast, free parking 10 min. away.

Nothing

- The staff was very friendly - The situation in the pedestrian zone was perfect - The breakfast buffet was delicious - The car parking solution was great All in all this is definitely a hotel to go back again.

For three adults the room was a bit narrow.
