Eine Person beim Personal war sehr toll, die restlichen leider nicht.

Das Restaurant ist sehr schön direkt am Fluss gelegen.

Wir haben eine Nacht in dem Hotel übernachtet und gegessen. Wir warteten einige Zeit, bis wir an der Rezeption willkommen geheissen wurden. An der Rezeption wurde uns zuerst mitgeteilt, dass keine Buchung auf den französischen Nachnamen vorhanden ist. Die Person an der Rezeption wusste nicht, wie man den französischen Nachnamen schreibt und konnte ihn nicht finden. Als der Nachname buchstabiert wurde, wurde er dann gefunden. Danach sollten wir zum Zimmer geführt werden, standen aber wieder einige Zeit rum, weil die zuständige Person nicht wusste, wo das Zimmer ist und mehrmals nachfragen musste. Das Zimmer ist schön aber kalt und hat leider nur sehr dünne Bettlaken und eine kleine Sofadecke als Decke. Beim Nachtessen ging es sehr lange, bis wir bestellen konnten. Das Civet de Sanglier war geschmacklos und die Pasta dazu war völlig verkocht. Ich bin Vegetarierin und habe einen Gemüsewok bestellt, der mit Gambas serviert wurde. Als ich darauf hinwies, dass ich den Gemüsewok und nicht den Wok mit Gambas bestellt habe, wurd der Teller zurückgenommen und mir einige Minuten später wieder gebracht. Leider wurden lediglich die Gambas aus dem Teller entfernt. Einige Stücke der Gambas waren im Teller immer noch ersichtlich. Das ist für mich ein absolutes No-Go. Ich erwarte, dass ich den Teller, den ich bestellt habe, erhalte und nicht eine kleinere Portion, weil die Gambas einfach entfernt werden. Zudem ist es äusserst fahrlässig, da einem Koch bekannt sein sollte, dass es Personen gibt, die eine starke Allergie auf Gambas haben und der Verzehr fatale Folgen haben kann. Für mich absolut unverständlich und respektlos. Man fühlt sich als Gast verarscht. Leider haben wir auch keine verständnisvolle Reaktion oder eine richtige Entschuldigung erhalten.

Amazing place at the river

Excellent location at the beginning of the awesome Vallée de la Restonica. Ideal for hiking tours and bathing in the river. There are comfortable and picturesque sitting areas at the river, even sunbeds. There is also a good restaurant. Just amazing.

The beds weren't comfortable. Old mattresses.

Great location, super relaxing - a little gem.

This hotel is set in a stunning location with the relaxing flow of the river alongside it. The staff are friendly, the food was delicious and the room was super clean. Evenings spent on the terrace enjoying a glass of wine were exceptional.

The only point which could have been improved is the quality of the mattresses. They were fairly thin and hence an 8 out of 10 rather than a 10. But all in all we had a fantastic time.

The location on the river was beautiful. Close to a short easy hike and a short drive to town. Loved our dinner at the hotel, delicious food and great coffee in the morning

A little less rain, but, it's nature.

Nice place to stay unless you are a sensitive sleeper.

Very nice terrace, breakfast, the mountain river 😊

Not possible to open the window, I sleep with an open window, so I needed to sleep with an open door, I did not feel safe. If you are sensitive sleeper, due to mountain river is very noisy 😁

nice location for a hike in an average hotel

location next to the river and close to the old village. There was fresh orange juice and good self-made cappuccino at breakfast. rest of breakfast was very average.

parking place was very small and often full (needed to reverse up the to get out). The place was worn out.

Awful

We did NOT stay in the Hotel Arena restaurant le Refuge. We were "up-graded" a few days before to a nearby hotel - Les Jardins de Glaciere. We were travelling in a party of five and booked the hotel because it had a restaurant. We arrived 18:00 and were told the restaurant was closed and the bar would close at 20:00. Reception told us the only restaurants were in town, 1.5km away. We asked about ordering pizza and were told since the bar and terrace would be closed after 20:00 we would have to eat the pizza in our rooms. Luckily we found an amazingly good restaurant only 200m away; Auberge de la Restonica - can't recommend it highly enough. Staff made no apology that our hotel had been changed and that there was no restaurant. They were just rude throughout.

We were put in Hotel Jardins dela Glaciere ...avoid this because of the staff

We reserved a hotel (Arena) with car parking and restaurant ...they 'moved' us to another hotel,Les Jardins de la Glaciere .....i have never been greeted by such a rude and unpleasant and unhelpful people in an expensive hotel. I complained to Booking.com, the first time I have done this. If these people remain working at this hotel, I would recommend other travellers to go elsewhere. There is a nice hotel called 'Le Restonica' nearbu

it was an amazing stay and the staff with their kindness and obligingness really just made the whole experience perfect

the location is absolutely stunning. A hotel next to a river that you can literally throw yourself into from the hotel’s terrace. Staff is super friendly and nice. Beautiful city of Corte is just a quick drive away. And they were so very welcoming to our two dogs and they’re huge dogs. They also serve great food there. We went for dinner and in was super good. It was really an awesome experience and would definitely recommend it.

Just minor details, like in our room, the toilet was placed a little high, but if your 185 cm or more you will be fine😁 The room could use some shading on a terrace because it gets quite hot when summer sun starts to power up in the morning and is quite persistent through the day🙂

A very sour taste after a pleasant stay

Very poor customer service. Kids slept in another room. In the morning they came to our room with their luggage to pack all together. When I wanted to inspect their room, house keeping was already cleaning and the cleaning cart blocked the door and I couldn't enter anymore. I assume the room must have been empty, otherwise housekeeping would not enter. We checked out 1 hour later. The hotel contacted me in the afternoon, that they found stuff in the room and asked us to come back. We were hours away already. The hotel refuses to pay for posting to stuff to us. They claim house keeping never starts cleaning before check out. I've explain all of above, but they call me a liar. They are the liar, a very customer unfriendly liar.

This hotel is perfectly situated for hikes in the Corte area. The location next to the river is fabulous - including the views from the rooms. Breakfast is really good compared to Corse standards.

The location is everything! You can swim in the river, lie on the huge rocks... We had a good dinner on the terrace. There’s a table and two chairs outside of the each room on the porch. Really relaxing place. You can get massages... I lost a book there and the staff was really helpful in searching. We didn’t find it but it’s not their fault.

Incredible scenery, unique stay.

The location of the hotel was unbelievable. We'd seen photographs when booking but they didn't do it justice. The Restonica river running through the hotel grounds was superb and very unique, if you like the great outdoors then this is the place to be. The bar and restaurant were good, it wasn't fine dining but the service, food and drink were all perfectly good. It was a little bit of a walk into town or a short drive. We went hiking on the Restonica trail which was superb. If you are looking for an active trip with absolutely superb scenery then this is the place to stay.

The rooms were a little dated but perfectly clean and comfortable with good aircon.

The best hotel we stayed in in Corsica!

The location is amazing, with a terrace overlooking a mountain river in which you can swim in amongst the boulders. Perfectly located for hiking, and only 10 mins from Corte by car. Fantastic food - really exceeded my expectations!

I would have preferred coffee and tea making facilities in the bedroom

Lovely place, avoid the restaurant

This place has an idyllic location near a river, leading up a gorge and mountains. There is even a little inside grass patch with chairs and hammocks that are surrounded by the rooms, as well as a restaurant. It is a very calm and nice place, cooler than the city. The breakfast was good as well, the usual mix you get in Corsica or in France. There are enough parking spots right next to the hotel. Apart from the lady in the restaurant, the people were nice. You can talk a walk a bit further up from the hotel, just a few minutes, and you can access the river easily. Not for swimming though, it is pretty shallow, but still a welcome refreshing for my feet!

1. My parents had a room with a terrace facing the river and the mountains, which was beautiful. In the room however there was a bit of an unpleasant smell from the toilet, it could be that they have problems with their plumbing - we did not bring up the issue since we only stayed for one night and it was not that bad. 2. We had a bad experience with a waitress in the restaurant though. We only wanted to get a little something to eat and the hotel is not near any stores and the city is a bit far away to walk there in the evening before going to bed. We asked if they have any small portioned food. The waitress was extremely arrogant saying something along the lines of ``oh this is a proper restaurant`` and when I ordered only fries she rolled her eyes and acted extremely inappropriate. I would understand if we were taking up space from people who would have ``proper`` dinner BUT we were literally the only ones there at that time. I did speak French to her but then I got sick of her attitude and left, and my mother then spoke to her in English, which she did not understand a word of. I really liked the place but this lady spoiled my evening. If I stayed here again, I would not visit the restaurant. Not in the mood to get patronized and belittled on my vacation. 3. I paid for breakfast in advance, but then when checking out the staff said the breakfast still needs to be paid - just heads up to check your receipt when checking out, eventually they did realise I paid it all already, as it could be clearly seen from my booking.
