“Great place to stay..”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

If you're passing through Ceret I would definitely recommend a stay at the Hotel des Arcades. Ok, it's not exactly up to date, and it doesn't have all the modern amenities, but hey, this is France! What you will get (if you have a room at the front, which we were given without asking) is a long balcony with a view over a beautiful square. The room we had was enormous, lots of character and fraction of the price you will pay at more upmarket destinations.
Ceret is at its most beautiful in the evening, when the daytrippers have all gone. It's almost like you have the small town to yourself, and there are great little restaurants, some are basically people’s houses where the occupants are happy to feed you with whatever the dish of the day is.

Hotel was centrally located in the town square and very convenient. Clean and very nicely decorated hotel and room. My room had a wonderful balcony overlooking the town square. Staff was very nice. All in all I would highly recommend and would definitely go back.

“Great location, older hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed two nights while travelling this part of the region. The hotel is very well located and Ceret itself is really charming and well worth a visit. The best part of the hotel was the sidewalk cafe with its bright umbrellas and good lunch fare which we enjoyed on arrival. Our room had long windows that opened to the street with a nice view of the old city gates. I picked up a print at a gallery later of the same view. Our triple room was small but functional and the beds were comfortable. The hotel is older and both room and and bathroom, although clean, in need of an update. Breakfast was as expected. The lady at breakfast was very pleasant but the man at reception was rude, looked like he wanted to be anywhere but there and did nothing to make guests feel welcome. Practical, well located and generally speaking inexpensive.

“Slightly tired, but good location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

We stayed here one night while on a trek through the Pyrenees. The room we received, opening onto an inner courtyard, was clean but rather tired out (linens and furnishings). Breakfast was rather minimal. Good location and Ceret is worth visiting.

“Very good place to stay in Ceret.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011

We stayed here for two nights in a lovely (seventies decor) room on the top of the building.
Clean, good beds and a great view onto the Arcades opposite the hotel. This hotel has private parking and below is a big terrace where locals have drinks all through the day. Right in the middle of the town and just a minute away from restaurants or the shops and museum.
Very friendly staff and owner. You get your own code to enter the hotel at night. But everytime we came in there was always someone behind the reception area.
