A little gem
Pros:

Lovely, warm welcome and help with recommendations of places to eat. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable and tastefully decorated. The hotel is in a great location close to restaurants and bars, and also to the amphitheatre, which is definitely worth a visit. Nimes is a beautiful place and we're looking forward to a return trip.

Pros:

We were given a room with no shower, only a tub with no curtain. Water went all over the floor. Hot water was either way too hot or way too cold.

Great Experience
Pros:

On our visit to the south of France we decided to stop in Nîmes overnight to see the temples and Roman Coliseum. We chose Hotel de l’Ampitheatre for its proximity to the train station and the sights, and high ratings. We were not disappointed. The staff is friendly and helpful, the hotel is clean and charming, and the breakfast is fresh and delicious. It felt like a lovely little Inn. If we travel to Nîmes again, we will not hesitate to return to this hotel

Very Nice But…
Pros:

This was a very pleasant and clean hotel in old town Nimes. Staff was very pleasant. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and it was a very good location.

Our only issue was that has it retired couple traveling with luggage, we would have appreciated being informed that we were being put three stories up in a hotel with no elevator.

We have now way of knowing how full the hotel was, but only saw two other guests and while we could have inquired about a different room, we were already in there and had already done the heavy lifting.

Pros:

Right in the middle of everything in Nimes. So many excellent choices were within a 5 to 10 min walk. No elevator but the staff took our luggage up and down for us. Did not have breakfast (which looked great) because we went to a different cafe every day to take in the world. I would stay here again.

In a prime location
Pros:

This hotel was in a great location right by the Roman arena, restaurants and shops. It was an easy 10 minute walk to the train station, however we did not see any nearby parking if you have a car. Our room was large and quiet even though the window overlooked the pedestrian street. There were alot of stairs especially since we were on the top floor. The shower situation was very challenging as there is only a freestanding tub with a handheld attachment. There is no curtain so some water spray hits the floor. I actually took a hard fall to the floor when I slipped on the wet tile. I would not advise this hotel for a person who has mobility issues due to the stairs and tub situation. Otherwise this was a really lovely hotel with especially helpful and attentive employees.

Characterful small central hotel
Pros:

We enjoyed our stay in this old but sympathetcally modernised building. It's very central, as the name suggests, and only a short, pleasant, walk from the station. Friendly and helpful people, not a bad breakfast. Spotlessly clean, if slightly faded and no lift but that goes with the building. Good value for what and where it is, we will probably stay again.

Pros:

l'Amphitheatre hotel provided an acceptable place to stay for 2 nights in Nimes. The price was fair and affordable. The location was very good for pedestrian access to Nimes attractions, dining and shopping. Our room overlooked a charming retail square but it was bit noisy as restaurants cleaned up at closing and with some early morning garbage pick-up. There was no elevator but the hotel did possess some amount of charm.

Great location.
Pros:

Nice hotel, though we only used it for sleeping. Didnt have breakfast as there were plenty of places for petit dejeuner close by.
Could have done with better lighting on second staircase, quite dark in places.
Good location, though noisey at night if you have windows open.

Pros:

This hotel was booked by me through Expedia. Hotel had our booking, but were fully booked out and they booked us into another hotel. Was very disappointed, spent our last day, trudging about with cases. Second hotel was not half as convenient or central.
We were very upset by this.

2 Sleepless and uncomfortable nights
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff and great location. However, hotel comfort was much to be desired. The mattress was not fit for purpose and we had two very bad nights sleep despite asking for a room change after the first night. There very several issues with this hotel, the noise from the streets until early hours of the morning (windows could not be closed), the bed mattress in both rooms were fit for a dolls house (extremely uncomfortable and hollow), showers in both rooms did not function correctly, the lighting system was confusing and did not for work correctly, heating only worked in one of the two rooms.

Pros:

We enjoyed our stay here other than being on the top floor with no lift. Also we were persuaded to have breakfast and that there was gluten free corn bread, this was a lie, so i was very overcharged for my breakfast and annoying given that there was a gluten free cafe in the area.

Pros:

Great location, affordable rate, courteous staff. The amenities were just OK. AC was not working in the first room we got. The staff was very accommodating and immediately moved us to a better room with working AC. Standard rooms are small and beds in these rooms are very basic, to say the least. Premium rooms are more spacious and have better beds, so we recommend booking these. Breakfast is very basic and we did not feel it was worth 13 Euro per person.

Fantastic location, fantastic stay
Pros:

A fantastic location for accessing everything there is to see and do in Nîmes. There was a concert at the Arena the evening I stayed, however the noise wasn’t bad at all. Excellent value, with Arthur and his team providing a wonderful service. Merci beaucoup!
