“A positive oasis for tired and dirty travellers”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2011

All phone lines had been down that morning in Sete so we arrived without a reservation looking like a couple of scruffs as we'd just completed a six day bike trip from Toulouse down the Canal du Midi. Fortunately they had a room and seemed totally unfazed by the state of us! The room was very comfortable with good beds and a large bathroom with a whirlpool bath. Our filthy bikes were parked inside the foyer beside the main door for the duration of our three day stay. Our bedroom was on the west facing side and I thought it might be noisy....it wasn't, but we had to make sure that the chambermaid shut all the windows and shutters as it heated up when the sun was on it in the afternoon and it took the AC a while to catch up. Only gripe was breakfast. At 10 euros per head it seemed a little dear compared with Paradors in Spain. I.e. Bottled orange juice and poorly prepared fruit salad (i.e.pips) but eventually managed to get a teapot to make a decent cup of tea. The staff we met were lovely, especially the lady at reception. Very good position on the canal, Sete is a lovely little town Didn't try the restaurant but ate out in the town. Would go back again but investigate getting a better room rate with a bit of forward planning which was not possible this time.

“Good hotel, clean, good base”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011 via mobile

A perfectly good hotel at a good price. Best alternatives in Sete would have been self-catering in Mont St Clair area (preferable over the abundant over-development at La Corniche) Convenient for Sete train station but a good 1 hour walk to the beaches at La Corniche. Having just come from a 4 star hotel in Paris we did notice the stark difference in rooms and service, but then again it was half the price!

“Loved it”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011

Great location. Loved style of our room, had nautical theme. Great bathroom, obviously recently updated. Great AC in the room. First morning had breakfast out, best bet we could find was just to get a baguette from a boulangerie. So ate in hotel the second morning to save hastle of looking for something. Reserved nearby parking through hotel also.

“We loved the hotel and location”

It was our first visit to Sete. We had a room on the second floor with a balcony over looking the canal. We were checked in immediately, hotel staff was very accommodating-- they gave us towels for beach and assist us with getting a local rose chilled to enjoy in the room. The room was very nicely appointed, the bathroom was large and bed was really comfortable. The lobby in the hotel is really cool, nice art and metal work-- the rooms ring the outside and from the center you look down on the breakfast area. Breakfast was great-- a very generous buffet. Walking distance to beach, all of the fabulous restaurants and cafes, 5 minutes in a cab to the Gare. We will stay there again.

“Can't beat location, room, and ambience in this picturesque town”

This is the third time I've stayed in Sete. (I've come a long way from the youth hostel in the '60s!) This is a well-run, clean, spacious hotel with a "to-die-for" location on the canal. They've managed to combine an old-world feel with modern conveniences and decorative touches. Would recommend this hotel without hesitation.
