Family friendly away from the bustle of Sete.

Family friendly hotel 5 mins walk from the beach. Room was a little small for 4 but manageable. A little out of Sete centre but plenty of good restaurants within walking distance. We stayed local as Sete centre is very busy. We ate at Restaurant Chez Mino opposite on the advice of the hotel staff and were blown away by the quality of the food. The roof top is a lovely place for aperitivo as the sun sets and then digestivo after dinner.

My first room had a horrible smell. I was told they have it when it is windy. Too bad there is always wind in Sete. I had to argue to change it to another room. I was given a lower category room so the no offer to compensation. In the new room the sink did not drain. There was no hot water in the morning for the shower. No excuse offered. Seemed business as usual. Never again.

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..
