Reviews and Ratings
I recently stayed at this hotel and while it had some solid points, like the spacious rooms and friendly staff, there were definitely a few downsides. The location was quite convenient, just a short walk from a lot of attractions, but the noise from the traffic and early morning roadworks was a bit annoying. Overall, it's a decent choice if you're looking for space and good service, but be prepared for a few quirks.
The hotel had a great location, just a short walk from the city center and a shopping mall, which made it very convenient for exploring Nimes. However, the room situation was less than ideal; I had to switch rooms twice due to unpleasant odors, which really dampened my experience. The service was a mixed bag, with some staff being friendly and helpful, while others were quite rude. Overall, it didn’t feel like a great value for money given the condition of the rooms.
