"The hotel was perfect for our long weekend. The location is excellent: situated in the old town, only a couple minutes around the corner from the market, near to all the shops and the bus stop to the airport and about a 10 minute walk to the port. The staff are so helpful and friendly and anticipate what you are going to ask for. The pool is very clean and doesn’t smell too strongly of chlorine, the sauna is well maintained and the in a nice quiet area. Several guests like to sit around the pool on sun loungers to relax and read books with a drink. The room was beautiful and a good size and the bed comfortable. There are bicycles available for the stay from the hotel to get around. Car park has limited spaces and there is a mixture of normal and luxury cars from all over France and Europe. I appreciated the attention to detail to the lobby and room decor and it was very easy on the eye. The room lighting was well thought out with no dark corners, all the lights worked and the housekeeping team is very thorough. The restaurant Arco is just as excellent as I remember it four years ago and the lunch set menu (Tue-Sat) is astonishing value for the calibre of cooking."

"This hotel was a great find! It’s situated on the harbour front with easy access to everything - station, buses, boat trips and the lovely old city. Staff are friendly and attentive. The room was clean and spacious with a comfy bed and had shutters which helped a good night’s sleep. The heated outdoor pool is a real bonus. We had a lovely stay!"
