Hôtel Spunta Di Mare
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want a cheap, well-reviewed base near the airport and ferry terminal with free parking and a breakfast guests rave about. If you want to walk out of the door into the old town, a central hotel will suit you better.

This is our Budget pick in Ajaccio. It works well for travellers arriving by plane or ferry, drivers touring Corsica who need parking, and families, since family rooms are listed. Early starts and late arrivals are easier from here than from the centre.
Skip it if you want cafés and sights on your doorstep. The main sights are 24 to 28 minutes away on foot. Also note it is a two-star hotel, so expectations on room finish should match the price.
Location and getting around
The address is Quartier St Joseph. Guests say it is conveniently placed near the airport, the ferry terminal and local beaches. The location score is 8.4.
Musée Fesch is about 1.9 km away (around 24 minutes on foot), the Citadelle d'Ajaccio about 2.1 km (26 minutes) and Ajaccio Cathedral about 2.2 km (28 minutes). These are straight-line estimates, so real walks will be longer. Many guests will prefer a car, a bus or a taxi for trips into town. Free parking is listed, but spaces can be tight.
What guests say
The score is 8.6 out of 10 from 5,044 reviews, which is a very large sample. It ranked joint sixth of 11 properties, so it is solid rather than the top scorer.
Breakfast earns the warmest comments: a copious buffet with sweet and savoury items, including homemade cakes. Guests also like the practical location for the airport, ferry and beaches.
The recurring complaint is parking. On-site spaces exist, but guests describe them as tight, narrow and limited in number. If you drive a large car, plan for that.
Price compared with our other two picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov, 2 adults) were about 79 euros a night, around 158 euros for the stay. That is 18 percent below the sample median of about 97 euros. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Here is the honest catch: our Best Value pick, Holiday Inn Express Ajaccio by IHG, was only about 80 euros a night with a score of 8.7 and three stars. At those prices the gap is under one euro a night, so compare both on your dates. The Luxury pick, Hotel San Carlu Citadelle Ajaccio, was about 141 euros with an 8.9 score.
What tips it toward Spunta Di Mare is the longer list of facilities: a pool, gym, restaurant, terrace, free parking and family rooms, plus a continental buffet breakfast. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 11 eligible properties in Ajaccio. At about 79 euros it was the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice was set aside. Over 5,000 reviews averaging 8.6 show the low price is not a gamble.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Check the room description and reviews for those. Confirm that the pool and gym are open in November, since opening times and fees are not confirmed. If you drive, ask about parking availability on your arrival day.
