The location is incredible. We had two rooms, one facing the coliseum and the other with a balcony behind the property. The arena was so close, the photos really are not manipulated. A beautiful view.
The parking can be difficult to find. The bollards are lowered at request by the police. You must pull up and press the button to request it. Failure to know this means that you have to drive in circles down very narrow streets.
The rooms are clean, the beds are VERY comfortable, and the sofa bed was one of the most comfortable experienced. The one bedroom apartments are definitely worth it. They contain a large fridge, glasses, saucepans and seem very well appointed. The layout of the second floor apartment (by the Arene) was better, but both suited a family, or a couple wanting more space.
The showers are powerful. A mop or something would be helpful. We all struggled to contain the shower spray in both rooms, leading to a wet bathroom.
My French parents enjoyed their stay so much that they are considering the chain for future stays.
We did test the spa! Please know it costs $6 per person for one hour. This seemed too high, considering hotel occupancy and allotted time. The steam room was hot and seemed good, the jacuzzi was not hot but more like a coolish bath that was pretty refreshing.
If traveling to Nîmes again we would stay there again, and I would consider others from the chain.
Please note, we travel on our own budget, and receive no rewards for reviews.
