"3* HOTEL - 5* QUALITY"
its probably the best hotel I`ve stayed in. in terms of service the staff couldn't be more friendly and eager to help, nothing appears to be too much for them. i had a problem on arrival with battery of notebook and they phoned around to find someone in the area who sold a new one.
The hotel is very modern and obviously well cared for. The rooms are petite but well equipped and very clean. it is very quiet, even though the hotel was fully booked at the time, i never heard anyone in the hall. Had plenty of sockets for pcs, chargers etc which is unusual. Good bathroom accessories. ...Only bad point - the dreaded leaking shower which follows me from hotel to hotel....only this time it was because there was no shower screen or curtain to keep the water in!
I´m sure that i will return to this hotel many times again in the future!

"Good value hotel in Aigues-Mortes"
this hotel is about 5 minutes walk outside
the town and is situated on the banks
of a canal. I spent two nights at the hotel
and had a large quiet room overlooking
the canal and had a small balcony.
The buffet breakfast was excellent
and the hotel provided free internet connection.
The hotel is privately owned and the owners are clear that they are not in the accomodation business but rather in the hospitality business.
All the staff were EXTREMELY helpful.
The hotel provides very good value for money

"Great, modern, all rounder"
i found this through tripadvisor and all the other reviews and representative. I actually had booked for the wrong night in our tour and they rang me when we were miles away but they sorted it out ok, fortunately as it was the low season they fitted us in the next night - no problem.
It is a 5 minute walk out of town, but is well signposted, with ample off street parking - no need to pay extra for their secured parking in my view.
It is modern and clean, the receptionist was very welcoming and helpful, she showed us to our room.
free wifi, which seems to be commonplace in france - shame it isn't in the UK.
The bathroom was quite meditarranean but the towels were too small which was a shame.
They did show us the way along the canal into town which was good but would have benefitted from all the street lights being working - which shouldn't be too hard to fix.
Flat screen TV with BBC World. bit noisy with the windows open and the aircon seemed to blow out warm air.
Terrace with the pool was lovely, but too cold to go in in October.
One of the guys that works there used to work in England so his english is really good.

"Very high standard"
this hotel is run to a standard that other hotels should strive for. Well signposted and a very pleasant welcome. We were offered a room on the first floor overlooking the canal but could have chosen one on the ground floor if it was a problem carrying our cases up the stairs. Plentry of room in our bedroom and it was very clean and tidy. We were shown how to walk to the town up the canal and given advice about the restaurants. The only noise in our room was from the ducks on the canal.
Breakfast was very good with a large choice and high quality. I only wish that we could have stayed for more than one night. |

"Wonderful"
lovely little hotel, made very special by its fantastic staff. I've stayed in hotels all over the world from the super expensive & luxurious right down to the 'get-me-out-of-here!' types - but I've never stayed anywhere that has such helpful & friendly staff, they really went above & beyond!
As many other reviews mention - Jacques really knows the area & is very helpful with ideas of where to go, where to eat etc..
But everyone there - right down to the cleaners - is polite & friendly, and seems committed to making your stay enjoyable.
The hotel itself is on a rather ugly road, but the hotel is well-placed for Aigues-Mortes. Everything inside is simply stylish and spotlessly clean, and the breakfasts are fantastic.
Only (minor) criticism would be - I would've liked a shower curtain.

the location was ideal and the breakfast was delicious and very nicely presented.
The pool was very small but very welcome. .

+ ... The most friendly and helpful staff I think I've ever met - they made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped through the door. Fantastic place to stay - stylish, clean and comfortable; very convenient for Aigues-Mortes, and a good base from which to explore the region. ... |

"Enjoyable stay"
first impression was immediately good after contacting the hotel direct by email to check on availability. Even before we arrived Jacques was giving us helpful tips. The arrival at the hotel was not a disappointment, we were greeted by a lovely lady, sorry but cannot remember her name, who took us through the hotels facilities and surrounding area, she even apologised for her english (which was near on perfect). Everything to follow went like a dream, with each member of the team very happy to assist us with any questions we had. The room was perfect for 3 people, two adults and a 12 year old, and spotless. Being able to return during the afternoon after a busy morning sightseeing etc. to relax around the pool was lovely. Breakfast was delicious and a ten minute walk from the hotel along the canal took you into Aigues-Mortes where there is no end of choice for an evening meal. We really enjoyed our stay and would certainly be checking in here again if we should ever return to the area.

"The hotel is wonderful - but the owners make it perfect!"
stayed here for two blissful nights, and i only wish it'd been longer.
The hotel itself is lovely - simple, cool and stylish, with a lovely shady terrace next to the canal; the rooms are exactly as they look from the hotel's website (now there's an idea that a few others could do with trying!), beds are large (i think king size, but certainly larger than a standard double), airconditioning is efficient and hugely welcome on a 35 degree + day, and the breakfasts are indeed delicious, due to the in-house pastry chef making a different type of muffin and other pastries each day.
But, what really makes this place stand out, possibly above anywhere else i've been, is the fantastic management. Jacques spent a good 15 minutes with us at checkin, showing us the layout of the town on a map, and recommending various restaurants- we ate about half a bull between us at Coco over a couple of days, and had a lovely evening meal at L'Eden also - and other things to do. He and his colleagues we incredibly helpful in making bookings (the best private beach club as well as restaurants) to ensure that we really got the most out of our limited time there.
The general air of calm and consideration also seemed to rub off on the guests- discussions around the pool and at breakfast were kept to a quiet murmur at all times, keeping the place a real oasis of peace. All in all, i can't imagine a nicer place to spend a short (or long) break, and we very much hope to return.

"A great find!"
we have just returned from a weeks stay at Hotel Canal. Do not be put off by the less-than-attractive approach from the main road into Aigues-
Mortes. Inside is an oasis of designer calm with cool, comfortable rooms, a shady terrace for delicious breakfasts and a small pool. Rooms overlooking the canal are well worth the extra...ours had a balcony, perfect for watching the boats. The staff are fantastic...charming and helpful, full of suggestions on what to do and where to eat. Aigues-
Mortes is 5 minutes walk along the towpath with a grest choice if restaurants and bars.

"Wonderful breakfasts..."
we visited this beautiful area to attend a wedding and this hotel was among those suggested to us.
We really enjoyed our visit to Aigues Mortes.
This stay was undoubtedly helped by the welcome and comfort of this hotel. The staff were extremely friendly and there were no language difficulties. There was always somebody there to suggest places to go and see.
The standard of the rooms was excellent. The beds were really comfortable.
And the breakfasts mmmm the breakfasts were wonderful.
Thank you Jaques and staff for an enjoyable stay. |
