Lovely views from the terrace and room. Breakfast quite basic and hotel rather dark. Would have been helpful to have pointed out on road where the parking was, avoiding hauling bags up flights of steps.

Think twice.
We found the hotel to be lacking in many areas. There was no phone in our room, and the phone in the room of our travel companions was out of order. Front desk didn't respond to our concern. Room wasn't cleaned when we returned at 3p after a full day of activities. We were told that the maid had spoken to us and said we didn't want it cleaned... not so. Front desk seemed reluctant to have it cleaned, but it did get done. Parking is limited and difficult. Pool is quite a walk away, not as portrayed in photos. The town is on a hill, so from the street, you must up a set of steep steps to get to the lobby, then up more steps to the building with the rooms, where there is finally an elevator. Doors had to be locked from outside when leaving. On several occasions our companions returned to find the room had been entered and left unlocked. Front desk was marginally helpful in solving a rental car problem. Beautiful view from balcony.

Great location but the rest disappointed somewhat
Advertised free parking is not available as they have 100+ rooms but only about 7 parking spaces so you'll have to park far away at a paid spot. Hotel seems as a super old with an attempt to renew it but I cannot say they succeeded. Breakfast was supposed to start at 7:30 but when we came at 7:30 sharp there was a bus-load of others already in mid of their breakfast and most food was gone but the selection was poor overall anyway. Ota is a great place and this hotel is in a great spot. The pool is 100m away from the hotel but the beach is much better anyway but 10 min walk.

Good hotel
Hotel is in the center of Porto and offers a parking which is valuable. Restaurants, bars and Genoise tower are a few minutes away. When we checked-in, our room wasnt ready so we got upgraded right away which was very nice.

Hotel is close to restaurants and the beach
We thought we paid for a sea view but were advised we had a room with a mountain view at the back (rooms 3 & 4) which were awful. As if by magic there was a room with a sea view available which we had to pay extra for (15 euros a night) which was definitely worth paying. Once we were in a sea view room we had a great week for the price! Porto is absolutely charming and for the price the hotel was ok. Make sure you include breakfast when you book a it's 9 euros each per day. If there had been a small fridge and tea and coffee making facilities the hotel would have been much more to our needs. Also please replace the carpets in the rooms with tiles. This hotel does have free wifi and the pool is excellent with stunning views. All in all if you can get a room on the third floor (50-58) this hotel is great for a base. There is also a great selection of restaurants which were about £20 a head generally. It needs to be clearer which room you actually book as this could have been a disaster and appears to have happened before looking at other feedback.

A comfortable base for a week in Corsica
The Hotel Kalliste wanted another £114 to give us a sea view. We are SO glad that we did not pay it. They put us in a room facing east (room 5), with a balcony and a wonderful view of the mountains, Most rooms face west of south, the sea view comes with full-on sun, at its hottest. After the hotel manager agreed that we did not have proper internet coverage they offered us a room in the sun for free, no thanks. We could still access the internet from Reception. If you stay in Porto and you do not come with pots on cash, you will want to include an element of self-catering. Breakfast is available at Hotel Kalliste for 9 euros, or slightly less in Porto. A very poor supper in Porto cost us 42.50 euros. There is a Spar supermarket in town (on the main road) selling food at British prices, more or less, so why not have a packed breakfast and lunch in the Marquis? There is no kettle in the room so we bought one in Corte for 10 euros, so we could have a cup of tea when we wanted. The management kindly lent us mugs. The room was clean, with a plentiful supply of towels. The swimming pool is very clean and you can use hotel towels there. The balcony includes a table and chairs and we spent most evenings there. Perhaps the worst down-side for Hotel Kalliste is the lack of parking space. The main car park is full by about 4pm and the overflow car park about two hours later. At that point, small cars can park on the access road or in Porto, where charges apply

Exceptional location
We loved this place, the pool location surrounded by mountains is incredible. To get to the rooms you must climb about 2 flights of stairs, but there is an elevator after that. free parking but limited spaces, we parked the first night in front of the hotel for 1 euro. Porto is not to be missed. there are plenty of restaurants nearby, a Stoney beach, boat trips and incredible views. I suggest paying extra for a sea view room with a balcony.

Ok for one to two nights
Very basic hotel , rooms basic, though air conditioning worked very well. no bar/lounge facilities avail . Parking can be a problem, on a first come first served basis, have stayed here previously a couple of years ago for the one night and returned again this year for one night. It is okay for the one or two night . It is a pity as the hotel itself is in a lovely location looking onto bay and may benefit from lounge facilities for guests to sit and have a drink/coffee and enjoy the view

OK,with nice swimmingpool-don't buy breakfast!
Worn down hotel, and perhaps not what you would think of as a 3 star hotel. Has a really nice swimmingpool that is located outside the hotel area, but definitively worth the 3 minute walk there. Do not buy the breakfast! Hugely dissapointing! You only get one croissant and one tiny tiny baguette (with nothing on). The only selections are jam and butter,so you're better off buying your breakfast elsewhere. Also they stop serving breakfast at 9.30, which I think is too early when on a holiday.

Great service with a smile, is 3* & fits that bill
Staff very friendly and helpful in all respects. We went out of season (or just beginning of) so restaurant closed but lots of other options right on your doorstep so no issue plus we like to spread love and happiness across the local community so always look to eat somewhere different. We would have done this even if the hotel had its restaurant open with many other choices readily accessible. Breakfast which we had one day at the hotel was bit pricey one for what it was and two lots of competition at better values. Hotel is 3* and fits this criteria. Has a fabulous view over the bay but then so do many others although I don't know at what cost. Cost was good in terms of overall package. Hotel was flexible and catered for late arrivals which is important to us when maximizing time for a long weekend. Decor was OK given 3* but could easily give it a more updated feel by spending relatively little money on home furnishings - bed covers, lamps, wall hangings, curtains, cushions et al, although carpet really needs to be updated too. Bathrooms are also outdated but if you freshen up other aspects this would be less of an issue as the colour scheme is not offensive. Difficult times but could easily spruce up to increase overall appeal in my view.

The view was worth a million dollars. We stayed on the top floor and could see forever. Problem was that our room was 113 steps from the bottom and the elevator did not work. The TV was broken and the telephone did not work. For the price, I guess you could say that it was OK!?!
