Hotel Balanea

Perfect location with about views. Free parking. Friendly and helpful staff

The building itself is a bit older though well maintained. Our room door was hard to close, so we had to really force it to close and it was a bit loud when we did.

We were pleasantly surprised by this lovely hotel. It is well-located for a visitor to Calvi, close to the train station, port, and tourist sites. The decor is modern. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The woman who worked at the reception desk was extremely helpful and kind.

It was a bit noisy at night due to a jovial group at a bar across from the hotel.

Its location was extremely handy. Your 5 mins from beach. You have restaurants and the port and shopping all at your disposal

Everything was perfect. The views to the mountains across the Gulf of Calvi, the location on the port, the staff, the cleaning, the wifi, the price - everything was great except the breakfast.

Only the breakfast.

The location. The hotel is situated in the old town.

You had to get a pass from the hotel to park at a nearby car park. Not the most convient, especially if you do not know the area.

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.

Ideal location.Comfortable bed.Balcony view.

Balcony size. Only because I thought I was getting a terrace.Didn't buy the breakfast as it seemed a very little range of options for the price.

Central location and decent breakfast.

It is nice that they have a parking option but it is not that convenient because you need to park somewhere else, come to the hotel and then go get instructions on how to find it (not very clear ones, especially since the receptionist spoke very little English) and a parking ramp card. Then you have to take the luggage across pebble stone street for 300m. Then when you are leaving / checking out you need to park somewhere again and return the card. Also the Booking directions take you to the hotel - pedestrian street or closed off harbour. It would useful to have this mentioned or explained somewhere.

The hotel is situated in the center of the city and you can only walk to reach it, this is beautiful if you think to make a trip and visit the city, otherwise, to go to the beach or take the car and go around it is not the best.Breakfast was very good!

Maitress too soft, first day we had no air conditioned for a problem of maintenance, last day they had a problem with electricity in the morning for half an hour. Everyday, in the morning at 5 and later we woke up for the noises from the street: garbage trucks, street cleaning trucks, shop suppliers.... one morning we woke up suddenly for a fight in the street. Honestly a nightmare.

The location was good beside all amenities.The receptionist Maria was very helpful but it was out of her hands.

We paid 550 euro for 2 nights. The room was like a box i stayed in better hostels. No complimentary tea or coffee. No ironing board or iron in the room. And the beds were so hard and uncomfortable plus the air conditioning was broken. Also my husband has asthma and we never slept for 2 nights.

Hotel position in Calvi center

The air conditioning and the main window were not working. We couldn't close the last one and smelled the fried smell all night long. It was a nightmare and definitely not in keeping with a €150 a night room.We reported the above situation the same evening to the guy who had accepted us 30 minutes earlier, but found no help. The next day, we explained the whole problem had to the receptionist who applied the 10% discount almost annoyed with what we were reporting. We will never return to this "hotel" again.

The breakfast was very good. The position in the center of Calvi. The staff was very kind.

It was literally impossible to sleep because the disco and live music in front of the hotel went on until 1 am every single day of the week. Stressful.

Perfect location in the Town centre, overlooking the marina. The receptionist was super helpful and friendly. Fresh bread, pastries, gorgeous fruit and juices at breakfast.

The location

The air con didn’t work properly and it was a warm night, so the room got a bit warm. The room also smell a bit like sewarage as you entered the first time. TV didn’t work and we had to ask the receptionist and only to find out it wasn’t plugged in properly.

Centrally located, next to all the shops etc. Opposite the all the providers for boat trips, scuba diving etc.

They had problems with WiFi connection due to streetworks. Then again it was nice to be disconnected

Location

Mould in the bathroom. As soon as we opened the door to the room we got greeted by a smell of mould even with the air con turned on. No working fan in the bathroom either and the shower curtains didn’t prevent water from spilling all over the bathroom floor.

Comfy,clean,tidy and great location

Great location. Lovely design downstairs, upstairs rooms need a refresh.

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.

For the price range it’s impossible to get better in that location. Really in the main street of Calvi near everything. The property is modern and the room was very comfortable.

Nothing in particular. 17€p/p for the breakfast looks exaggerated.
