Hotel des Arceaux

Great hotel, terrace use is...

Liked: 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.
Disliked: 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.

Tremendous value in a spectacular...

Liked: 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 .
Disliked: 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

Very good

We used Montpellier for our...

Liked: The location was ideal being a short walk into the centre of Montpellier.
Disliked: Nothing.

Sweet, will be there again...

Liked: 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.

Great hotel in super location

Liked: 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.
Disliked: 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!
