The hotel offers simple and quiet rooms, although they might feel a bit tired. The atrium area is a cozy spot for a silent breakfast at an extra cost. The service is friendly and helpful with limited explanation on extra costs. The location is excellent for exploring Sete, showcasing beautiful architecture and a picturesque view down the canal. The dining experience is mainly cold buffet but good value, with quality cheeses and pastries. The facilities include a beautiful internal covered courtyard, perfect for enjoying a good breakfast.

The hotel is in a central area where we enjoyed many cups of tea, with slightly tired-looking rooms focusing on the atrium area. A silent breakfast is served at an extra cost. The room was fine, with a comfortable bed, nice bathroom, great amenities, and a small balcony overlooking the street and canal.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but could use a fresh coat of paint. The service was helpful and friendly, and the location was stunning with a view over two canals. However, the dining options were basic and slightly impacted by the current situation. Overall, it was a good value for the price.
