Disliked: Amenities
The room was obviously revently refurbished as everythi g sppeared to be brand new The buffet breakfast was good. The key chains are ridiculously large and weigh more than a pound for sure. Also tbe panoramic view on the rooftop was not open. The bar up there was closed for the season understandably however guests should have been permitted to see tbe view given there is nothing to see or do in close priximity to the hotel.

A good 3 star.
It was pleasant, clean and modern in parts, old and needing of updating in other parts. The room didn’t seem to have enough plug sockets, I could only find one, and I had a view of a wall. Another negative would be the parking situation, they only have enough spaces for 9 cars, so you need to book early in advance. The public car park in front has a 2.5 hour max stay but free over night (IF you can find a spot). Breakfast was good, and the bed was comfy with extra pillows. A good three star overall.

Nice hotel close to beach
First time of staying in Sète, hotel was nice and close to the beach with nice restaurants close by. For even more restaurant and bars it was only a short walk to the town centre.. The hotel staff were always very pleasant. The staff in the sky bar were also very nice Sandrine and Vlodia. Lovely view from there. The only negative I would say was that the rooms didn’t have a lot of storage space for your clothes..

Near to beach; Far from gare
We were given a refurbished room. Toilet was separate and small, with door opening into toilet. It took some manoeuvering to get in and out. There was a full size bath in the bathroom. On the roof of the hotel was a terrace with nice views. The bar there opens from 4pm and serves light meals as well as drinks.

Nice basic hotel
We arrived after 9pm and were well received. the crib we asked for was perfect and ready for our baby. The hotel was fine but simple. Our family room was ok but a bit tight. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean and tidy. We only stayed for one night, didn't try the breakfast as we went to a local café across the street that was more convenient.

Basic but good location for beach.
For the price it was adequate, the rooms are basic and i would have preferred a tea coffee facility. The area was great with beaches only five minutes walk away with a great little Brasserie opposite the hotel called La Ressource with great food.

2 night stay in Sete
Very happy with our decision to stay at this hotel. Our front room was excellent and the walk into Sete easy and spectacular (we also used the local bus which stops at the front door of the hotel). Paid parking at the hotel was a little tight but much appreciated. Hotel also offers breakfast and has a Panoramic Bar on the roof for guests (but it was not open whilst we were there). Whilst it was not at the hotel we were most impressed with the Sete Paul Valery art gallery/museum. We also tried a number of canal side restaurants which we found to be of varying quality. We would definitely return to the hotel again when next in Sete.

This is a comfortable place in the south of Sete
We arrived on a Friday and they had very loud music right below or room at a neighboring bar. It lasted until midnight sharp so it was acceptable in our view. The room was comfortable. The parking was minimal as they had 10 spaces and the maneuvering was a bit tedious. We stayed for three days and they only had parking for 2 days. Fortunately there was a parking area very close across the street. All in all an ok experience, although a bit pricey. We knew we were in extreme high season, on the other hand 150/ night was not commensurate with the facility. 100 would have made me a happy customer. So no repeat.
