The location is great. Front Desk staff was friendly and escorted us up to the room and gave us a room orientation. They also gave us a tour of the Spa. Unfortunately, we were not able to use the hotel's amenities.

Nice place in a beautiful town
This was a very last minute reservation, as we were passing the area late at night. The hotel is centered in city with an attached restaurant right next to it. The room is a very basic, but that’s all we needed.

Super Hotel in Saintes Maries de la Mer
We cannot thank the hotel staff enough as they were all so friendly and worked hard to ensure every guest feels welcome. The hotel is in a convenient position with free parking outside. It has very interesting decor. We arrived very early and the Reception Team were lovely and kept our luggage for us while we went off to explore the town. When we returned they had taken our luggage up to our room and we were given a tour of the amenities and advice on all the services available. We had breakfast in the hotel once and felt that the charge was a little steep. It is much more fun to go and sit at a cafe and drink coffee and each croissants and watch the people going about their business. The Camargue is a lovely area to explore and there is so much to see and do. We thoroughly recommend it.

Nice weekend getaway
I enjoyed my stay. The staff was helpful. I do feel it's a bit overpriced, but it's the best option in Saintes Maries. The pool area is lovely. The parking situation could be better.

Great beach getaway!
Wonderful hotel only minutes from the beach. What a nice surprise. The staff was very helpful and the rooms although small, were very clean. You could walk the centre of town in 3 minutes. Parking was pretty easy. I would definitely stay at this hotel again

A quick stopover
We stopped over in Saintes-Maries on our way to Cannes. In hindsight we wish we had chosen to stay longer. The hotel was lovely - and ideally located slightly away from the main area , but very close walking distance to beach and restaurants etc! Will definitely return one day!! Junior site was a great accommodation for my husband and I and our 9 year old daughter

Way over priced for the quiality
Ok so the hotel looks nice as soon as you walk in and even the room looks nice. But staff hardly speak any English. I do like the design of the rooms even though they have decorated it all with IKEA furniture but to be honest for what you get it is extermley over priced. I Stayed in a 4 star hotel with a bigger room right in the Centre of Cannes for half the price i paid for this one just 2 days later during the weekend. Also how hard is it to install a simple shower curtain. Seriously the whole bath room was soaking and very slippery just after a 5min shower. The stair case going up to the first floor was one of those round and narrow ones and its an absolute nightmare to get ur luggage up and down as there is no lift. And to top it up the stair case had no working working light to illuminate it which makes it very dangerous. I will defo not go back.

Good for a relaxing stay
This is a spa hotel in "shabby chic"style. The room was smallish but very well styled. My room had access to an outside terrace area with sun lounger and table. The lock was broken on the glass doors which gave access to this area, so it was a security risk. The hotel is slightly away from the down town area but still within walking distance of the main amenities. 16 euros is rather over the top for a buffet breakfast. You could do almost as well at the brasserie across the road for 5.5 Euros.

Correct, sans plus. Les prestations ne sont pas celles d'un 4 étoiles . Le rapport qualité/prix est correct, mais juste. La signalisation de l'hotel est quasiment invisible. Problème d'accessibilité pour les PMR. Couloirs très sombres , manquent de lumière. Petit déjeuner excellent.

Très bon emplacement et personnel dispobible.
Un problème de signalisation de l'hotel. On ne voit pas le nom dans la journée et invisible le soir. Il fait très vieillot et ne correspond pas du tout à un hotel 4 etoiles. Problème d'accessibilité pour les handicapés, pas du tout aux normes. La wifi ne marchait pas et donc pas de télévision pendant 2 jours ... Excellent pdj

Das Hotel lässt uns zwiegespalten zurück. Das Personal ist wirklich sehr nett, hilfsbereit usw. Die Räume und das Konzept mit Hotel und Spa wirken auf den ersten Blick stimmig, allerdings fehlt die dauerhafte Liebe zum Detail und die Instandhaltung: die Pflanzen müssten alle dringend verschnitten werden und kahle Äste entfernt werden; der Anblick ist trostlos. Die zum Zimmer gehörende Terrasse wurde schon länger nicht mehr gereinigt; in den Blumenkästen war genügend Müll… den haben wir selbst entfernt. Auch dort würden sich die Blumen über Pflege und mehr Erde freuen. Ansonsten abgeplatzte Lackierungen und verdreckte Luftreiniger im Bad, Spinnweben in den dunklen Gängen. Alles Kleinigkeiten, aber sie schmälern den Eindruck stark. Darüber hinaus haben uns die spielenden Kinder am Hotelpool sehr gestört. An diesem Pool ist einfach kein Platz für Sprünge ins Becken und wasserpistolen, wenn 1m daneben die Liegen stehen. Hier wurde seitens des Hotels auch nicht interveniert. Sehr schade. Da fehlt mir das Konzept: familienhotel oder Spa? Hinzukommen die XXL-Kinderwägen, die in den 1,5m breiten dunklen (schwarz!) Gängen standen oder 4 Fahrräder. Der Weg zum Frühstück glich mitunter einem Hindernislauf. Bitte wieder zurück zum Konzept „Hotel und Spa“, dann passt alles!

A éviter !! Choisi pour la piscine, nous n'avons pas pu en bénéficier puisque celle-ci ne dispose même pas d'une douche (nous avons été priés de libérer la chambre à 11h). L'absence de douche pose un réel problème d'hygiène. Aucune zone du SPA accessible sans payer un supplément alors que le tarif de la nuitée est élevé. La très jeune femme à l'accueil (job d'été ?) n'a cherché aucune solution. Prétendue eau minérale à disposition qui en fait est de l'eau du robinet mis dans une bouteille en verre. Tout est à l'économie dans cet hôtel prétendu 4*

Response from Margaux Sénémaud - Directrice on 14 Jul 2023
Chère Madame, Nous vous remercions d'avoir pris le temps de laisser un commentaire sur notre établissement. Nous sommes bien évidemment désolés que votre expérience n’ait pas été parfaite et ferons tout pour que cela ne se reproduise pas.Effectivement, la douche à proximité de la piscine se situe au niveau des vestiaires du Spa. Comme nous vous l'avons indiqué, ce jour-là, notre spa était exceptionnellement fermé car un shooting photo y était prévu. Afin de palier à ce problème, nous vous avons d'ailleurs proposé de bénéficier d'un départ tardif offert et donc de garder votre chambre plus longtemps afin que vous puissiez y prendre une douche. J'avoue avoir du mal à comprendre pourquoi vous indiquez dans votre commentaire qu'aucune solution n'a été proposée alors que nous vous en avons proposé une mais que vous avez choisi de refuser et quitter l'hôtel sans en profiter.L'eau en carafe qui est mise à votre disposition GRATUITEMENT en chambre est une eau micro-filtrée sur place par notre fontaine AQUAchiara et non une "eau du robinet" contrairement à ce que vous affirmez. Pour nos clients qui préfèreraient une eau minérale, de l'Evian est en vente au bar de l'hôtel. Concernant notre Spa, nous proposons des tarifs incluant l'accès au Spa qui sont effectivement plus avantageux car il s'agit de "package", mais ce n'est pas le type de tarif que vous aviez choisi, c'est pourquoi l'accès au Spa était en supplément.Enfin, l'ensemble de notre personnel est jeune et dynamique et nous en sommes fiers. Nous sommes sincèrement navrés que votre séjour n'ai pas répondu à vos attentes, soyez assurée que nous sommes mobilisés chaque jour pour satisfaire nos clients. Bien cordialement,

4 étoiles ??
Séjour convenable, personnel très souriant, mais ne connaissant pas trop la région, incapable de nous indiquer des endroits à visiter… Hôtel très sombre, lumière un peu trop tamisée !!! Dans les chambres, le bémol c’est la lumière, et la salle de bain, qui est vraiment minuscule. Le lavabo qui était noir à l’origine est plein de taches de calcaire, et de plus fuit dans le meuble sous vasque. Il y avait aussi des fourmis…. Nous étions près du SPA et une odeur de javel nous a un peu incommodé .Pour un 4 étoiles !!! C’est pas top.
