Reviews of Hotel des Arceaux 3 stars

Stylish, friendly staff, clean. Great market on Tuesdays and Saturdays just in front!

The bathrooms and rooms were very small so a little tight for big people

Love the garden and the calm tranquil ambience.

Noisy neighbours that kept me awake for a few hours. Not at all the fault of the owners but if you are noise-sensitive (and I am) this could be an issue. Next time I’ll be better equipped for these issues!

Such a lovely stay. A perfect mix of modern and historic. Staff is so nice and helpful. Breakfast in the courtyard was sublime, they gave us a perfect start to the day. Location couldnt be any better too. Hope to be back here some day.

Calm, very welcoming and a wonderful garden where we sat for hours reading. Perfect! Breakfast was copious and delicious with good croissants and freshly made fruit salad. Yum!

The staff is very friendly, very good breakfast and good location (a few minutes on foot from city centre)

Beautiful patio space in the back where you can have breakfast or rest.

Rooms are a bit too small.

I liked the hotel and the room was nice, as was the bed. Also we were not given the room we had booked, but a room that ended up being cheaper, so that was good!

The hotel is a bit out of the way, which can be good and bad. We found the area to be very not alive. It was hard to find anything to eat nearby, but it takes about 15-20 minutes walking to somewhere decent and towards the city centre, so we managed. We had booked parking space but the parking space was in a nearby underground garage. And because our car was almost too big for the very narrow parking garage, we ended up scratching the side of our car. I wish they would have let us know exactly how narrow and small the garage is, or asked if we would have rather paid to be on the street level. We felt a bit stuck in the situation because we had booked and paid for the parking. Also the walls were paper thin and on our first night some late night guests checked in and had incredibly loud s*x. Good for them, but bad for us. I had specifically chosen the hotel because it mentioned that the rooms were sound-insulated.

We were only here for one night, but we got to see a lot of downtown Montpellier, as they held our bags and we were allowed to get our car later in the day. Room turned out to be much nicer than what you might expect after looking at the entrance. It has a historical vibe inside the hotel. Hotel is close to the downtown attractions like the cathedral and the botanical garden. There is also an aqueduct that goes down the length of the street that the hotel is on.

Breakfast was rather meager, and the parking garage was a couple of blocks away and strange to get in and out of, as well as a tight exit turn. It was still possible to load and unload in front of the hotel though.

Lovely old building. The location - right opposite the viaduct and the fabulous French market twice a week. Friendly staff.

The room was very small for a longish stay. We really needed a kettle in our room to make tea or coffee.

Cute property comprising two houses knocked into one, right on Bvd des Arceaux. Lovely shaded and calm garden with a pond which is an optional place to have breakfast.

All facilities you would expect from a three star hotel including a working fridge, but it was missing coffee and tea-making facilities.

We asked for two cups of hot water because it was not in the room and they brought us a tray with tea kettles, mugs, saucers and spoons! Very chic.

They have a large terrace in the back which is advertised as open 7am-11pm, however when we asked if we could eat our own food, the staff said it wasn’t allowed. I understand that they serve breakfast and light dinner, but I do not agree with this rule that the terrace is only for eating food bought from the hotel. It doesn’t make sense and it seems unfair.

The pedestrian area is being renovated, but is historic and is at the very beginning of the entrance to the old town at evening time our particular street is not that lively there are a couple of bistros scattered. My guess is once the pedestrian area is completely planted up and renovated. It’ll be very lively and charming. However, the market is three times a week and it is very lively with stalls, of fruit, pastries, bread, fish meats, etc. it’s quite charming. You do have to walk to actually get into the old town, but I like that so that late at night you weren’t hearing the noise of the tourists or the restaurants. We had a car so I like that. We didn’t have to park way far away to get in and out of Montpelier as we went to visit other towns. So for us being right outside the historic center really worked. The hotel if you book ahead has really reasonable priced parking and that makes a big difference. Their breakfast is good pretty standard to what we usually get and you have to book ahead because they don’t do big wasteful buffets but rather have you order what you want ahead which I think is fantastic. There is a very sweet garden outside the little café area in the hotel. This hotel is priced very very well and though the rooms are small, it is a tremendous value. The staff is warm and friendly and eager to accommodate .

My one tiny pet peeve was the hairdryer wasn’t very powerful. It’s a tiny thing in the big picture. There is no elevator which they are very clear about but the hotel is only three stories so it’s not that big of a deal

The location was ideal being a short walk into the centre of Montpellier.

Nothing.

Hotel is a gem; close to down town, clean, classic look outside and modern on the inside. Strong AC. Super nice people !! Great breakfast. Love the orange-tiled bathroom and water sheet faucet. Don‘t miss out on the week-end market right in front of the hotel.

Staff are very helpful, we were asked several times if we had any problems with parking and informed us we couldn't park on street on Tuesday as there is the local market. Location is great near to centre and they have a beautiful garden where you can have your breakfast. Rooms are clean and functional with a mini bar., rooms are on the small size but that didn't bother us.

We were on the second floor without an elevator, stairs are quite steep so that is to bear in mind if anybody has knee problems!
