des Arceaux

"On arrival at this hotel, we received a hostile reception. We were first given ze rules of the hotel in stern English. This was in the style of the French Gendarme/Police interrogation and was in no way welcoming. It then got worse. We were then told by the hotel receptionist that she would only tell us about the hotel after we had paid our hotel bill in full in advance. There was no welcome. In addition, this hotel is 6 km from Montpellier town centre and is not in the city centre as is described. The directions to the hotel as were provided prior to check in and on the hotel website are very poor and are difficult to follow, Our room was clean, small and quiet with a good shower. We did not eat breakfast or any other meal in the hotel. Breakfast instructions were conveyed to us in an equally hostile manner. Our first impressions of this hotel (thanks to its hostile receptionist) left us with a very bad taste in the mouth. We would not stay here again. Pas merci"

"A friendly small, comfortable hotel with modern rooms set in a pair of period houses. Underground parking round the corner, which is a big plus so close to the city centre. Steep steps up to the door and no lift in the building but the staff are eager to help with the luggage if required. Outlook at the front over the arched water conduit which used to supply the city. Easy walking to the city centre through the magnificent Peyrou park. Nice and quiet and good restaurants in the vicinity."
