From booking through to finally leaving this hotel all the boxes were ticked. A glitch with hotels.com meant my booking was not confirmed so I needed to phone the hotel direct. I wish I had the name of the delightful staff member who helped me by providing the correct phone number to hotels.com After I made that phone call to seal my booking, the same delightful female staff member at Kalliste phoned me to confirm the booking had come through the hotels.com system. This kind of service is rare nowadays. Happily the same staff member was behind the desk when we checked in a day later; efficient, smiling, pleasant. The hotel room had what we like: windows onto the street, wooden shutters, electric shutters for even more noise and light reduction, a very comfortable bed, decent pillows and an overhead fan along with air conditioning. One of the best rooms at a reasonable price in which we have stayed on this three month trip. Breakfast was also good, though the older man running the room was quite gruff telling us to keep trays under our dishes so as not to mark the table. We saw no signs to indicate this request or we would have complied at the outset. One last thing, the location on Cours Napolean could not be better, in the heart of vibrant Ajaccio. Thank you Kalliste.
