Zeer aangenaam verblijf 🤩
Pros:

De uitermate vriendelijkheid en behulpzaamheid van het personeel. Wij hadden 1 nacht geboekt, maar wegens autopanne zijn we noodgedwongen 4 nachten gebleven. Ook een uitstekend ontbijt en parkeergelegenheid 😁

Cons:

Spijtig genoeg was er geen lift, maar het personeel was zo vriendelijk om de bagage naar boven te brengen!

A lovely hotel in a beautiful location

A lovely room in a lovely location, just around the corner from the centre.
The rooms are a good size, very clean, would have liked air conditioning even though the temperature wasn’t very warm but was quite warm through the night.

Cons:

Nothing

Décevant
Pros:

emplacement

Cons:

l'accueil à la limite de la politesse
les erreurs d'imputation de consommation
aucune aide réelle pour trouver un emplacement pour garer la voiture
une chambre minuscule sans doute réservée aux clients booking

Have been to St Martin de Re many times but not sure we'll return to this hotel
Pros:

Good location very close to town centre.
Underground parking (at a cost, must be booked).
Bikes on site for hire. Friendly staff.

Cons:

Premium room with sea view was neither premium nor sea view unless you are very tall and can see over the battlements!)
Also "sea view" rooms as advertised are North facing so get little or no sun.
Pool is warm and clean but only available after 10am (not ideal if you like an early or pre breakfast swim) and is surrounded by high buildings so sun is not always available on the narrow terraces around.
Wi Fi was very unreliable

Escapade pour un week-end absolument parfait
Pros:

Nous avons adoré l'emplacement. Notre chambre avec vue sur la mer était vraiment bien. Le petit déjeuner est très bien, nous l'avons pris en terrasse avec vue sur la piscine. Le personnel est très sympathique, rien à dire. Excellent séjour !

Cons:

Le bémol : pas de climatisation. Les nuits étant plus fraîches en septembre, nous avons dormi la fenêtre ouverte en toute sécurité car nous étions au 2ème étage. En revanche, en période plus chaude voire de canicule, ce n'est pas tenable.
