The well-maintained grounds, including a swimming pool and ample parking, further enhance the appeal of this ideally located hotel. Whether for tranquil relaxation by the sea or as a base for exploring the scenic Balagne region, Ferienhotel Maristella's location consistently impresses its visitors.

The breakfast buffet offers a good choice and is particularly enjoyed when served on the cozy outdoor terrace. Guests appreciate the hearty and abundant selection available every morning.
However, there are notable criticisms. Some guests report that the buffet menu remains the same daily, leading to a lack of variety. Concerns about the quality of certain items, such as industrial bread orange syrup and tasteless coffee, are frequently mentioned. There are also reports of non-refrigerated charcuterie and the overall basic nature of the offerings.
Despite its shortcomings, the breakfast's quality-price ratio is seen as top-notch by some and many find it satisfactory given the clean meals at unbeatable prices. Nevertheless, the consensus suggests room for improvement, particularly in terms of variety and quality of the food provided.
Ferienhotel Maristella offers a buffet-style dinner and breakfast, providing a convenient and self-service dining experience. Many guests found the dinner to be very good and delicious, especially praising the assortment and the good quality of meat and vegetables. The cuisine, although primarily German-style, was described as super delicious by some.
However, the variety and choice of food have room for improvement with some guests noting repetitive dishes, particularly featuring chicken and potatoes. The buffet is generally described as simple but good, while others found it average or lacking in creativity and diversity, especially in the dessert section.
Despite a few criticisms about the mass-produced nature of the food and the limited choices, some guests appreciated the unbeatable prices for the meals and the flexible handling for additional dinner bookings. A notable point of convenience is the early closing time of the restaurant at 8:30 p.m., aligning with German dining customs, which might be considered early for some during summertime.
Overall, while the buffet may not be top-notch across the board, it offers a satisfactory and sometimes very pleasant dining experience with its well-prepared and flavorful dishes.
Ferienhotel Maristella offers rooms that are notably spacious, often featuring private terraces or balconies that provide pleasant views and a sense of tranquility. Many of these accommodations are air-conditioned for added comfort, although some lack this amenity. Comfortably situated, the rooms are well located, adding an extra layer of convenience for guests.
However, the decor and furnishings are basic and dated with some guests pointing out that a refresh is needed. Issues such as musty scents, unclean wardrobes and occasional appliance malfunctions (e.g., showers) have been noted. Additionally, room cleaning is not conducted daily and must be requested, potentially every two to three days.
Despite these drawbacks, the generous size and quiet atmosphere of the rooms contribute positively to the overall guest experience. While the room amenities are sparse and the structure itself is old, the sense of space and peacefulness seems to stand out as a key attraction for many visitors.
When evaluating the beds at Ferienhotel Maristella, guests had mixed opinions. On the positive side, several guests found the beds to be comfortable and even described them as perfect with no complaints about their comfort. For some visitors, the beds were simply ok and met their needs without any particular issues.
However, there were notable criticisms as well. Several reviews mentioned uncomfortable mattresses, describing them as saggy, old and small. There were concerns about poor-quality and dirty bedding with some commenting that the bed structures themselves were dirty and smelly. In some instances, guests noted that two separate beds moved apart, which was less than ideal for a good night's sleep.

However, it is essential to note some recurrent issues. There are complaints about minimal cleaning, spots on towels and sheets and rooms only being cleaned every second day unless requested. Some guests observed that cleaning primarily focuses on visible surfaces, neglecting thorough tasks like sweeping the floors. There are also instances where cleaning was not performed during their stay at all. The pool cleanliness is another area of concern with reports of debris being overlooked.
Specific inconveniences include instances of leaking showers, the absence of brooms and dustpans in rooms and occasional shortcomings such as no bar soap provided.

Despite these occasional hiccups, the majority of reviews reflect a positive experience with the hotel's attentive, friendly and helpful staff.

Many guests have found the Wi-Fi quality to be subpar, causing challenges, especially for those who depend on consistent internet access. The absence of Wi-Fi in the rooms further adds to the inconvenience, making it difficult for guests to stay connected during their stay. While the hotel offers some level of internet service, overall, the Wi-Fi performance leaves much to be desired and could benefit from significant improvements.
The pool at Ferienhotel Maristella has garnered mixed reviews from guests. Many have praised its large size and the fact that it is well-equipped. Descriptions such as beautiful, clean and appealing were frequently mentioned with several guests noting the superb environment surrounding the pool.
