Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Grand Hotel Et Des Palmes enjoys a convenient city center location, placing guests within easy walking distance of the harbor and many sights. The recently renovated rooms are spacious and comfortable, with modern bathrooms and good quality toiletries, though some found the beds too firm. The breakfast is reportedly good and varied. Note that the access can be challenging because you have to cross the street struggling with mopeds and buses.
