    We loved the building and its location. It was clean and our studio had everything we needed. The bed was super comfy. Great shower. The whole place has a lovely relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The reception were very helpful when we asked them to book us a taxi to the train station.

    Not much storage space to unpack clothes into.

    Big apartment with all the facilities we needed and a well stocked kitchen. Washing machines worked well and a drying rack was provided. Swimming pool and sauna/steam room were very nice. Located a five minute walk from the center of the village and close to the supermarket.

    Corridors could do with a bit of an upgrade. Make sure to check in in advance if arriving outside working hours, my fault that I hadn’t so found it difficult to get keys. No oven in apartment but that didn’t bother us!

    Well equipped one bedroom apartment in a very good location. The apartment was very clean, spacious and suitable for guests that want to self cater. We didn’t have a terrace/balcony but nice outdoor areas where you can chill and relax when sun is shining!

    Hot water a bit hit and miss. Toilet smelt horrible even after I scubbed it. Very slippery shower over bath with no mat or handles. Way too many dogs, mostly off the lead weeing everywhere (and worse!) There should be a seperate area for dogs - not everyone likes them.

    Excellent location for exploring St Martin on foot (or bike!) Great staff - really helpful particularly when our payment hadn't gone through from Booking.com. Nice clean little pool..Comfy bed and pillows. Well stocked kitchenette but no oven.

    We thought the floor of the apartment was not as clean as it should have been. The toilet smelled of urine, and the back of the toilet door was badly stained. Handrails to help get into and out of the bath should be installed. My wife and I have no disability, but we found it slippery, and unsafe. My wife slipped on her first attempt to get out, fortunately without hurting herself. I then had to help her from then on to get in and to get out. Having the shower over the bath would be another good reason to have hand rails.

    We have stayed at Le Palais des Gouverneurs 4 times, and will be returning for a fifth time this coming New Year's eve. We like the location, and the facilities very much. It's very calm, quiet and tranquil. Parking is very good, and with easy access to the apartment. Staff were very helpful, pleasant, and always welcoming with a smile. The opportunity to check-out at 18h00 for an extra 30 euro was ideal. It meant we could stay for the day before driving home in the evening.

    The pool was a little disappointing - not really for sunbathing or proper swimming

    What a fantastic location! Our room was spacious with a lovely outdoor terrace and great amenities in the kitchen

    While it was close to town it was stuck down a a side street and the front door was misleading and awkward to find when we got to the town. The room wasn't that clean for us to use when we checked in and we had to make the beds as well which was a bit odd.

    The pool was good for our kids, if a bit smaller than I expected. But overall the room we were given wasn't what I had booked, the hotel obligingly moved us to a new room but overall the hotel was as clean or comfy as I would've expected.

    There were 3 of us (all adult size) and our appartment was just about big enough. There wouldnt be enough living space to relax if there had been 4 of us, as there is only one sofa. Its lovely to have a balcony but it is only big enough for 2 to comfortably sit. There was only a double and a sofa bed, which didn't work that well for our group, twin beds plus sofa would have been better, but i hadnt specified when i booked.

    Location is great, quiet and tucked away but only a short walk to the shops and the harbour. Friendly staff. Great to have a pool that is half in, half outside, so great whether it is sunny or raining. The room was warm and had everything we needed. I hadn't realised I could book bikes there, but might do that next time.

    The shower & bath tiles could do with a deeper clean as they typically get a little mouldy in between the tiles which doesn’t look so good. I managed to clean better with a scrub myself. They could do with more attention. Apart from that things were generally clean. They also had an issue with the fire alarm on the last night going off at 11pm and 5am. Seemed like a fault (or perhaps someone smoking??) we couldn’t understand what the person said in French before people went back in. But we are sure it’s a one off. It didn’t happen the other 6 days/ nights.

    Location is wonderful - so near to the port & in its own little garden. Pool is great with inside and outside combination & lovely sauna & steam room. We booked a ground floor room with terrace & it was lovely with table, sun shade, sun bed & clothes drying rack. Laundry was useful too (5 euros for washer, 3 for dryer). Parking was brilliant and we always got a space fine even though busy. Kitchen was well equipped despite being on the small side although there is no oven. But there is a dishwasher & they give you a cleaning pack with 5 tablets in for it. We also loved that you can borrow games from reception including boules & table tennis bats for the tables outside.

    Everything was done for cheapness. Poor bathroom towels, you had to buy your own toilet paper. Not come across that before. We had stayed here previously and it is not as good now,
