Très bel emplacement et magnifique restauration
bel hôtel, emplacement excellent, personnels attentionnés, très agréables, professionnels. Nous n’avons pas testé le restaurant qui était complet durant notre séjour. En revanche le petit déjeuner est à la hauteur de ce 5 étoiles. Nous reviendrons.
This hotel is a sleeper. I looked at the pictures online and booked 4 nights. Was quite surprised when we got there. This is a new hotel in an old building. Everything is immaculate and new. Only feedback I would give is that they need better pictures to show it off. The staff could not be nicer or more considerate. Breakfast is a feast and could not have been better. Walking distance to everything. Best hotel we have seen in a long time.
We benefitted from a sale so our room was exceptionally good value. The staff were lovely, the breakfast was very good. Unfortunately we had to miss the first night of our stay due to transport disruption. I did email twice to let the hotel know this but my email went to a central point and, disappointingly, they didn’t pass the message on to the hotel in Nimes.
une très belle découverte trop brève pour tester le SPA nous avons été très bien accueilli, personnel aux petits soins , la chambre magnifique avec baignoire et douche et le restaurant très agréable l’hôtel est bien situé , nous avons pu visiter Nîmes à pied
