Reviews and Ratings
The hotel exuded an old-country charm with stunning antique decor, but the darkness of the rooms was a significant downside. The opulent furnishing added to the beauty but made it challenging to see clearly. The location was peaceful, convenient for exploring Nimes, however, the restrictions on photography were disappointing, and dining options were limited and pricey.
The hotel had beautiful rooms in an old town house setting, but the lighting was incredibly inadequate, making it feel like being in a cave. The service was friendly and accommodating, although there were strict rules regarding bringing outside wine. The location was lovely overlooking gardens but lacked focus on guest experience. The dining experience was criticized for the high cost of basic items. Overall, a charming place but with significant drawbacks.
The hotel had attractively furnished rooms in an opulent style, but they were so dark even with all the lights on that we couldn't see to read.

The dining experience was perfect, although the additional cost for breakfast and poor Wi-Fi were drawbacks.
The hotel had beautiful rooms, but they were quite dark even on a sunny day, making it feel like a cave. The lack of lighting, especially in the bathroom area, was inconvenient. On the upside, the service was exceptional with helpful and knowledgeable staff. The location was fantastic, close to the Nimes station and with a nice atmosphere. The dining experience was pleasant, having breakfast in the garden with elegant table settings. Overall, the hotel was visually appealing but lacked focus on guest experience.
I was charmed by the opulent style and luxurious bathroom in the rooms, but they were excessively dark, making it hard to read even with all lights on. The service was excellent, with a gracious staff and a collector's touch of eclectic antiques. The hotel's residential neighborhood location offered tranquility but lacked a vibrant guest-focused atmosphere. The dining experience in the beautiful garden setting was delightful despite being a bit pricey for some items. The facilities were well-kept but seemed to miss certain key elements.
