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. more

Kalliste OK - room smallish, staff OK. Parking in very short supply. Ajaccio pretty good, but food hardish to find on sunday and monday! Ajaccio beach quite nice for last days relaxation. more

We liked being in what was clearly a very old building with modern conveniences added on instead of completely modernizing the entire building. We particularly liked the ceiling fan in the room and the free Internet access in the lobby. Our room faced the inner courtyard, which is basically a pile or rubble so not exactly scenic, but very quiet.... more

We stayed here just for one night and it was very good. The hotel is very well placed and is close by to the marina, shops and restaurants. The staff were all extremely helpful and welcoming and definitely went that extra mile in helping their guests. The hotel has been sympathetically renovated. Our room was well equipped but a little... more

This is a very pleasant hotel in downtown Ajaccio. We stayed there at the beginning and end of our holiday in Corsica. They were happy to store excess baggage in the reception area while we spent 6 days walking on the GR20. We arrived back in Ajaccio a day earlier than expected, arriving early evening. Kalliste was fully booked but... more

RECEPTION: The reception is actually located two doors to the south along the same side of the road. Do not climb to the second floor of the hotel until you check to see if the separate reception desk is open. ROOM: The room was quite large and on the front of the hotel. We had to close the shutters and... more

Do not book this hotel through the internet! We stayed one night at the hotel, booked through a hotel booking website. On arrival it emerged that we were charged over 20% more than the rack rate. The owner defended this by claiming that he had to pay a commission to the website. Unlikely, since I had already paid a service... more

This hotel is rated 2 stars but it is certainly worth 3 stars. It has been renovated during summer 2006. The rooms are really clean although a bit small (not surprising since it is located downtown Ajaccio). The breakfast is a definitely worth it: all you can eat buffet style, served in a very nicely decorated room with a relaxed... more
