“Bait and Switch?”

Overall we were disappointed in our stay. The photos of the rooms on the website corresponded in no way to the room that we got. The problem is that the hotel has a modern section and an older one, where we were lodged. In our section the radiators were disconnected but not removed from the room. Heat was provided by stand-alone electric radiators, each with a different operating modus (which was nowhere explained). The pillows were all the same and awful: huge synthetic things which were very uncomfortable for me. Although I eventually got to sleep, I had a stiff neck in the morning. The hotel could not provide other pillows. There was no chair in the room upon which one could sit down and read a book or newspaper. There was a desk chair that was very hard and uncomfortable to sit upon for more than a few minutes. There was a closet with a rod to hang coats, etc. but no shelf at all. We had to live out of our suitcases. There is no sink (and no heat) in the room with the toilet. After using the toilet, one needs to walk through the entire room to the bathroom to wash one's hands. Positive note: for showering and bathing, the water pressure was good and hot water came immediately. The towels were also very plentiful and good. The shower is integrated into the tub. The floor of the tub is higher than the floor of the bathroom and there is nothing to hold on to when getting in and out of it, which is a bit precarious depending upon age and physical condition. Also positive: the mattresses were comfortable and the mini-bar was complementary. The hotel is also well located.

“Nice hotel with great food, just in need of a revamp in some areas”

Lovely hotel and had the potential to be stunning, but was just a little tired and unkempt. Staff were very friendly.

Lovely hotel and had the potential to be stunning, but was just a little tired and unkempt. Staff were very friendly. Restaurant staff were a little over worked in the evening, so could of done with another set of hands. Fantastic food and breakfast. Room was generous in size, but just a little tired and needed a revamp. Cannot fault the cleanliness of the room, though bed was a little harder than I’m used to. Courtyards were lovely, though a little unkempt. Great location being only a couple of minutes walk from the main square, with lots of nice bars, historical buildings and plenty of shops, should you to buy anything. Secure car park right opposite the entrance to the hotel for overnight parking.

“Overpriced, would not recommend ”

We stayed at this hotel on the way back to the UK from South of France because it was dog friendly. Seemed very overpriced for what it was, despite the central location.

We stayed at this hotel on the way back to the UK from South of France because it was dog friendly. Seemed very overpriced for what it was, despite the central location. The restaurant was closed so we had to venture out which was inconvenient with a young baby and a dog. We were also given a room on the top floor so had to lug all of our luggage up and down the stairs. Car parking and breakfast are also an additional cost. We had to park down the road despite travelling with a young baby and a dog. Staff were friendly but would certainly not stay here again.
