I am mystified by the good reviews in lonely planet and elsewhere. The rooms are pokey, dark, shabbily furnished. The wifi did not work in our room. Thank goodness we could piggyback on the neibours. The aircon did not work in the two rooms we looked at. The room at the back we looked at had a nice view of... More

Well placed opposite start of pedestrianised Rue Cardinal Fesch, which is lined by old buildings with varied shops and restaurants, & leads to heart of Ajaccio. Air conditioned, double glazed room with shower. Helpful staff. Good buffet breakfast. Looked after our baggage after checkout, until we went for evening ferry.

We have just got back from a walking holiday in Corsica with Discovery Travel. The Hotel Kalliste was the base hotel for our first and last nights as we flew in and out of Ajaccio. The only thing that can be said in its favour is that it is centrally located and convenient for the train and bus stations (although... More

Compared to the other hotels in our Nice/Corsica holiday this was fairly basic though clean and well located. Staff were helpful and the breakfast was the best of our hotels visited.

We were lucky to get this as everywhere was full according to the Tourist Office. |we were put up in a part of the hotel still in development but that didn't matter as we were not against passing the builder's equipment on the way to our room. They gave us breakfast included because of this 'inconvenience. Room was excellent (studio)... More

Though small,the room was clean,quiet and comfortable. The bathroom was also clean and adequate and the breakfast was excellent. The manager was always readily available,cheerful and helpful when we requested advice or assistance. The hotel was also very well situated for our needs and we were able to leave our luggage there safely for a week while we did a... More

I booked the Kalliste due to it's proximity to the port/bus station and the train station. The hotel is located in easy walking distance to each. We were only staying a night, as we were leaving the next day for Corte. The room was so small, there was hardly room for both of us and our bags. It would be... More

We stayed at Hotel Kalliste in Ajaccio for 1 night in mid July 2009 as part of our tour of Europe. Although we found the accommodations to be simple, the Kalliste did exceed our expectations for a 2-star rated hotel. I believe some of the reviews and pictures posted for this hotel, including the main picture, are actually of the... More

This hotel is in the centre of Ajaccio and the reception desk is shared with a car hire business. I spent only a few minutes there as the staff were so rude I walked out despite having paid in advance. I cannot recall having an experience like this. Do not go near this hotel even if you are desperate.
