Chateaudouble accommodation from AU$102

We had a wonderful three night stay in May. We had a seaview room on the fourth floor (it was accessible so larger than average). It was excellent and well worth the extra money for such a beautiful view. I had read the reviews and knew what to expect about the hotel. I was pleasantly surprised. It's listed as 3 stars on the booking sites, but I think the hotel class is actually 4 stars. It doesn't have many amenities which I think is why it comes out as 3 but I've stayed in 4 star hotels which aren't as nice. Breakfast is as I would have expected. Nice enough and a reasonable selection. You cook your own eggs which I liked, as I'm quite fussy about how I have them. I found that on the Thursday and Friday the room was quiet, but on the Saturday night, there were two weddings in the hotel and you could hear the music until gone 1 am. However, I was well prepared with earplugs, and I never needed them because the noise wasn't enough to disturb me. I loved the 12pm check out and tolerated the 4pm check-in. I think the hotel would accommodate an early check-in if you weren't waiting for a very specific room so I do understand why we had to wait. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Food and drinks are expensive. Three alcoholic drinks and one mocktail came to €42 which isn't unusual for the area but you can definitely eat and drink for cheaper. We didn't eat in the restaurant so can't comment on the food beyond breakfast. We had a lovely stay and I was sad to leave.

A great spacious room, with beautiful views of the city and the sea. Quiet surrounding with pine trees

located in the marina. Great access in walking distance to a number of bars and restaurants. Hotel is clean and hotel staff friendly and helpful. No parking at the hotel for free - pay outside which is very limited. Some free parking ( if you are lucky) in nearby roads Please note that men in France are not allowed in the swimming pool in swimming shorts they have to be tight swimming trunks! My husband was refused entry to the hotel pool by the hotel pool guard because he was wearing swimming shorts. Apparently its a rule in France that in communal pool areas you need for hygiene reasons (?) tight swimming trunks. Whilst the hotel were apologetic the pool isn't their pool but it belongs to the property company who manage the pool with an officious pool guard!
