Staff very friendly and accommodating; always eager to please. Room kept clean everyday. Clean and updated hotel and rooms. Comfortable beds. View onto a small street. Close to a discount grocery. In the heart of the old city. AC not very powerful. No free overnight parking.

Nearly excellent but a few little tweaks needed

I really liked my room - it had a sofa for me to munch away on snacks as I watched the TV. Could have done with a mini fridge, but it did have a small safe and extra pillows. It was also clean and had enough soap and towels. Nîmes is small so the hotel is close to the tourist bit and across the road from a carrefour. It is getting a weee bit away from the station. But there were a few downsides. The man on reception didn’t speak English, which is fine (I’m not one of THOSE people) but he claimed to not understand my French. My French is not that bad when I’m talking phrase book and standard questions: I got a questioning look when I asked for plain coffee, which I had to elaborate as with no milk or sugar, for breakfast and again when I asked for a glass of tap water. Trying to establish whether I’d settled my bill in full when I checked out was a bit of an ordeal. I had no idea what was going on. The other downside for me was, I’m afraid, the other guests. It’s a very small hotel and people have to take the stairs as there’s no lift (another point to bear in mind if you have any luggage that’s remotely heavy, because you’ll need your own muscle power). For some reason, all the other guests seemed to bellow as they climbed the one or two flights. No idea why. Be quiet people. To be fair, the hotel is also at fault about this, as they need a few little posters here and there asking everyone to be more considerate and make less noise. Nearly excellent.

Great location beside the Iglese de Sainte Baudie. Parking was about a 3 minute walk away underground. The only problem was the reception person did not speak English and I did not speak French, but maybe that was to be expected :-). Easy 8 minute walk to the Arena and the Maison Carree Temple. No other issues. Clean room and nice amenities

No public rooftop terrace

Stylishly decorated with a nice mix of the old stone building and new modern details. AC was remotely managed, so the room was very hot (it was set to 20C, but it was way more hot than that). We chose the hotel because of the location and the rooftop terrace. The location was indeed great, right next to the old parts of the town, but I was really disappointed when I discovered that there were no publicly available rooftop terrace, even though it was listed as a hotel feature.

Wonderfully welcoming.

I loved this hotel. Normally the front desk closes at 11pm but with advance warning they will stay open if you need to arrive later; with baggage it’s a taxi ride from the station but once there the lady on reception couldnt have been more helpful and considerate.

Nice place but no lift.

Beautiful room. Fantastic staff. It has five or six floors, but no elevator, so you have to carry all your luggage up the stairs. An electric jug in the room would have been nice. Reasonably close for walking to central station. Whole area is oozing with interesting history. Excellent value for money.

Hotel on a budget, was pleasantly surprised

A nice central located hotel in walking distance to all amenities. For a 3 star hotel I was expecting luxury but was pleasantly surprised how nice it was and had everything we needed for our short stay. Decor was modern and very nice, not shabby at all. Despite what you read on trip advisor about the staff the are accommodating but not over talkative like you find at other hotels. Bed was comfy and had a good sleep. Room was can and have no cpmplaints.

2/10 Terrible

Verified traveler

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Rude staff and tiny space

Don't be fooled by the name, it's actually a tiny hotel located in a small alley. We arrived around 8pm, and found no where to park the car. The hotel has no elevator, so we have to walk narrow rotating stairs, like the ones in Notre Dame, to the 4th floor. The most troubling is their greedy for money, especially from american tourists. They demanded a 30% surcharge for my 5-years old which I forget to disclose during my reservation. Even funnier is that after I readily accepted their demand, the front office lady wanted us to pay the sum before we check out - as if we were escaping their hotel without paying. Terrible place to stay. Not just this hotel. I should advise people to stay away from Nimes as a whole before that city is way crowded during high seasons.
